Costa Sur Wok & Ceviche Bar

Great menu unique to the area. Not your typical fried seafood. Fresh and flavorful here. We sat at the bar and the entire staff was great. We started with some fresh Ceviche then had Coconut Curry Shrimp and Coconut Basil Chicken Fried Rice. All dishes were AMAZING! We will be stopping here every time we're in the area.

I cannot believe this only has 4.3 stars?? I lovvveddd this place. Food: Obsessed. The fish is so fresh. If you sit at the bar you can watch the owner (from Peru) filleting and cooking. The flavor combos were unique and interesting. We got the grilled shrimp tacos, the tuna nachos, and the combo ceviche with the fried seafood. AMAZING. The ceviche had dried corn which almost had a pine nut quality which was an amazing combo with the flounder, mango, and the slightly spicy peppers. Highly recommend. The fried batter was not your typical batter but in a good way. My husband described it as “scrumptious.” (He is an avid seafood connoisseur and that is high praise.) Service: Our server had clearly been working there for quite some time. She was accommodating, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The owner even waved and wished us a good day on our way out. Atmosphere: It’s a hip bar type place. We went for lunch and it was quiet. But I’m sure it gets loud in the evenings. I thought it was so cute and hip looking. Overall: As a foodie, I would highly recommend this place. I will be back again.

This place is a must! Great food and Great Service! Amy is amazing and so are the kitchen staff! I will definitely have to come back again. I had the fish tacos, my wife had the shrimp and chips(fries)

Food was fresh and top notch! Any of the ceviche will not disappoint! Anything with the shrimp, be prepared for cooked just right and tasty. Robin, kept our drinks full, questions answered and always checking in. Will definitely be coming back and recommend for anyone who wants seafood but not your typical fare, but done well and tasty!

This was the most delicious food and drinks I’ve had in a while.fresh fish, delicious flavors, and beautiful presentation. If you aren’t in a rush, this is place to go. Slightly Understaffed but still friendly service

You have to visit this place! We ordered 3 appetizers and they were all amazing. Mojito was very good too! Service is great and attentive.

Celebrated a birthday lunch and it truly exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, and attentive. The ambiance was perfect — cozy yet elegant — and the food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. They even surprised me with a little birthday treat, which made the day even more memorable. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything just right — service, food, atmosphere — but this restaurant did it all.

Their prices match the quality in my opinion. My friends and I enjoyed the lively atmosphere, we could see the bar and kitchen from where we were seated, and our service was amazing. Our table really enjoyed the Cucumber Poke bites even though my friend thought she was ordering something completely different from the last time she was here. She was quite happy with what we got and they were very fresh. We all enjoyed our meals, pictured and captioned below!

The best food in town. Hands down. The dinner plates "Pescado Saltado, Pescado a la Panca, and the Peruvian Poke" are hard to beat. Another Peruvian staple, the "Lomo Saltado beef sirloin and rice plate" is hard to argue against as well. There's nothing served like it anywhere in Corpus. They have a large menu with fantastic appetizers, sandwiches, burgers/wings, tacos, dessert options, and other great weekly specials. Great drinks, multiple TVs, outside covered porch, and fun atmosphere.

One of our island's greatest little gems. We love costa sur. The food is always delicious and the drinks are on point!! It does get busy (especially during high season), so sometimes it takes a bit but we run on island time out here, so if you're in a hurry, it probably won't happen. Definitely recommend it.

Great service again by Skyler !! This is one of our go to places on the island. The food is always good and service is great which is hard to find these days . They will cook your fish that you catch which is a plus for us as we do not have to cook at home. Another good outing at Costa Sur !!

This place came highly recommended by friends and locals. I can see why. We got to the restaurant right after it opened so it was pretty empty. We ordered some appetizers which consisted of the firecracker shrimp (my absolute favorite), tuna nachos (loved it!) and the ceviche fusion (I enjoyed the coconut milk that was part of the sauce). In all honesty, we should have stopped there. It was a lot of food but because we liked them so much, we decided to order some entrees which by we ended up having to take majority of what was left as 'to go'. We asked our waitperson to introduce us to the chef and owner. He came to our table which gave us an opportunity to let him know how much we enjoyed our food. Apparently, they do pop ups on occasion and luckily, they make it to San Antonio every once in once in a while. I'm now following Costa Sur on FB because I want more of what they have to offer. They take pride in their food and it shows.

Dont forget to Check in here - Yelp gives a 10% off coupon! We were a party of 3 for lunch and found this Peruvian place which looked to have good tasty food. We went in and the ambiance was very good. It's all black in the inside, roof and walls with good lighting. We ordered Firecracker Shrimp and Tuna nachos for Appetizer and they were both very delicious! Then we ordered Coconut Basil Chicken fried rice and Pescado Saltado. All of the food was very good! Service was great too! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!

Best tuna nachos EVER! Adam, the bartender, is so attentive. Recommend if you're looking for something local.

Service is TRASH! We waited 15 minutes to be seated. The while our waiter didn't clean off tables, he mingled with other patrons, didn't wait on them, literally just mingled. Once we were seated, our waiter couldn't bring out enough cutlery or drinks or menus for everyone. It took six trips! Three of our meals took 45 minutes and the last I r took over ONE HOUR. Service is absolute trash. Total joke!

We enjoyed this food so much that we came by twice and got more folks to join us the next day! Everything is really so fresh and tasted so so good. We heard of this place from people in San Antonio, so we knew we had to try it out once a local directed us here as well. We liked the ambiance. The food was, of course, delicious and had decent service. If I make my way back to corpus, I'm sure I'll stop in again for that jumbo sized shrimp!

The food is simple scrumptious and service was excellent. I had limo Saltado so tender. Ana

We had the ceviche fusion, guacamole, and shrimp curry. Everything was great and really loved the fusion ceviche with wahoo. The wait was a little disorganized but they took great care of us in the end. We will definitely come again.

I typically love this place, but tonight my boyfriend and I waited for an hour from 8-9 pm for our meals to arrive. For a Tuesday night, this is unacceptable.

Wow! What happened here?!? I've never had Peruvian food so I can't stay if it's authentic or not, but this is some seriously intense, flavorful food. We had the Arroz Chaufa and Pescado Saltado. Both had familiar flavors (like fried rice and coconut curry fish) but with unique citrusy undertones. We had to force ourselves to stop eating because we were getting full! Generous servings, good prices. Noah, our waiter/bartender was soft spoken and professional. He makes a mean mojito! Travis and JT in the kitchen put out amazing food. The regulars at the restaurant suggest starting with the ceviche... which they say is the best anywhere. Can't wait to go back!

Unique plates, outdoor seating, service was okay, I will be back. I rarely give 5 stars, but this place makes a fancy city plate of food on a tropical island..and I cannot wait to return...

My husband and I live in Austin but we love to escape and live on island time every now & then. Costa Sur is one of our usual spots because the food is to die for. We always get the ceviche fusion which is so fresh & bright. It's served with your choice of whatever fish is available that day; it never disappoints. Our server was very open about the wait time for food due to the number of people already seated, which was much appreciated. We started with the Spicy Margaritas which were larger than expected which was a nice surprise. The firecracker shrimp are fried to perfection & have such a beautiful bite to them thanks to the Serrano peppers! We ventured this time & instead of getting our usual fish tacos, we ordered entrees. The Angus filet was prepared to a perfect medium as requested, was flavorful, juicy & complimented by the chimichurri sauce. The Coconut Curry Shrimp was absolutely divine. The sauce was so creamy & the side of rice is the perfect vehicle to soak it up! If you are ever in town please don't think twice about this spot! This place is so vibey, it could work for a romantic date night or a gathering place for cocktails & bites after the beach! Kudos to the kitchen staff for keeping such a high standard for cuisine & also the staff for being so friendly.

Great fresh food. Excellent service. Only negative is that stinking parking lot is so small sometimes we can't find a place to park.

A local took us here. We were blown away by the drinks and the Top notch Ceviche! Great staff service. We will definitely be back.

My fiance and I decided to try this place out on date night. At first we were a little discouraged on the wait time for a table since it was on a Saturday night but man was the food worth the wait! We ordered the arroz chaufa (peruvian fried rice) and ceviche mixto (mixed ceviche) which was plenty for 2 people. This is the closest restaurant we have found that offers authentic Peruvian ceviche which left our palate watering since our last trip to Lima and that actually uses the limo peppers for their dishes. Thank you it was a great experience since we live in San Antonio. We will definitely be back on our next drive to CC.

Came here and the food toook forever to get out to the table. My eyes were watering from the lack of ventilation from this place. They got smoke lingering. The quality of the food was freaking amazing. Like really good... However the service from the wait staff was horrible. Table turn over is a thing. Get people in feed them and cash them out and open a table for the next set of people. Which is important for a restaurant to make money. Had people waiting forever for a table cause the wait staff was lacking.

The food is definitely a 5, but I always prefer not to eat in restaurants that are also bars. We loved the ceviche, the quinoa salad and pork sandwich. I put a 4 star, but that is in no way taking away from the extremely clean and friendly environment. The ingredients were super fresh. I'll order takeout next time because the food was great.

order the coconut margarita then add a pink drink from Starbucks. Delicious 100/10 . Cute outside bar and patio setting. The service is very quick and they are very accurate.

It was our first visit to this establishment, recommended by our son. This place seems suitable for small groups of two to four people. However, we were part of a group of 14 and had a disappointing experience. We waited over an hour just to receive our appetizers, followed by another 45 minutes for our meals, which were served 10 to 15 minutes apart. Some members of our group didn't even get their food. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. There were 47 customers and only two waitresses, who were clearly trying their best but were overwhelmed due to overbooking.

Great food. Tuna nachos had great flavor. Ordered the coconut shrimp curry. Will be back

I took a quick getaway trip from San Antonio to Corpus for a few days and stumbled upon this hidden gem. All I can say is... wow!! It has a small town sort of vibe. The service was incredible - shout out to Kilee who gave us some awesome recommendations! The food was absolutely incredible - the fish was so fresh. We went with the fish tacos, pork belly steamed buns and, of course, had to try a ceviche! I washed it all down with a coconut margarita and it was all heavenly! If you haven't been to Costa Sur and find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out!

Wow! I was so surprised to find this place really has authentic ceviche I lived in Lima when I was little and my honeymoon was in Lima, Peruvian food is to me the world's best cuisine and this place did not disappoint! The ceviche was perfect, the scallops with Parmesan were delicious and the alfajor for dessert was so good, felt very homey I loved it and we will definitely be back. The waitress ( I think her name was Kim) was so nice and attentive what a wonderful lady!

Wow this place was amazing. My server was extremely helpful and made recommendations and answered all the questions I had. I was torn between probably four choices and he recommended the tuna nachos with the oyster sauce on the side and they were delicious and a large serving for the price. I also tried two local nueces beers which were both very tasty. Great service, really cool Peruvian vibes, and amazing food. Definitely recommend next time you're in the area!

Super impressed with the seafood here and would come back again and again every time I'm in Padre Island. Never had tuna nachos before and would highly recommend for an appetizer. It was enough to start for 4-5 people. I had also had the shrimp n chips and it was deep fried shrimp that was huge and could tell that it was super fresh when I bit into them. Super filling and will order it again. I'm not lying, that it was some of the best shrimp I've ever had. Our buddy had the Peruvian poke and had a couple bites of that and was very good. This place was recommended by locals for seafood and glad we followed their advice.

This place is great. We have been here many times and the service and food is great. We just moved from San Diego and this is the Best Guacamole!

Food: For appetizers we order the cucumber poke bites - amazing, the fire cracker shrimp - not too hot, just right, and the Peruvian poke with chips on the side - perfect. More than enough for three people. Our waitress, Andie, was amazing and attentive. Easy place to have conversations. Will absolutely go again!

Delicious food!!! The ceviche was excellent and reminded me of visiting South America! We also had the snapper!

This place is more of a bar atmosphere. Very loud and small with very few tables. Not really kid friendly. We ordered fried fish n chips and fried shrimp n chips. Needless to say the fries were the only things that had descent flavor to them. Tartar sauce was our friend for flavor in this meal. Our bill with tip was $45.00.

The food is always fresh perfection! Service sometimes slow but for most part pleasant dining experience! A lot of deliciousness great neighbors

We stopped here while vacationing in the Corpus Christi/Padre Island area! We had our two big pups with us so we decided to sit on the patio. The only issue we had was that the patio was very tiny and hard for us to navigate as there was another dog blocking entry way. However, once we got adjusted everything was comfortable! We enjoyed the leche de Tigre which was a great hangover cure, super citrusy and topped with friend squid and shrimp! It was delicious to sip in the drink! For an appetizer we ordered the Ceviche Mixto, although there was a mess up with our order so we ended up just having the Ceviche Fusión and adding the mango and avocado toppings. THE CEVICHE "BROTH" WAS INCREDIBLE. I ended up just dipping the chips in this once we finished our fish of the day in the ceviche! For our main course we enjoyed the Coconut Shrimp Curry which was apparently the Seafood War Battle of the Champs Winning Dish? My boyfriend and I had never heard of this so we did some googling. The curry sauce was amazing, the perfect ratio of sweet to spicy flavor, and poured over the whole dish. We shared the meal and it was the perfect snack before a day on the beach! Our pups even enjoyed some fried rice with chicken...of course...they approve!

We got food to go so I can't comment on the service. As someone already stated it looks like a hole in the wall bar. Don't let that stop you. The food is delicious. I ordered the ceviche peruano with the whitefish. My other friend girl had the ceviche peruano with tuna. Both were amazing. The desserts are great too.

I love, love, love Costa Sur! The fusion ceviche is incredible! The coconut curry shrimp is fabulous, the Pescado a la Panca ahhmazing, pretty much everything I have had here was fantastic! The service is good, these bartenders and waitstaff work their tails off, so be patient, it is worth it! The Pisco sour is the perfect drink!

Best peruvian food in Texas! I got Leche de Tigre a lo macho, Ceviche Mixto and peruvian style Key lime pie. The food was so delicious and I am planning on going back every time I am in Corpus Christi. My husband got the house salad and it was amazing as well.

The best restaurant in Corpus Christi, should be in the top 5 in Texas. Unbelievable quality and selection not a heat and eat restaurant fresh fresh specialties daily. Never a bad experience.

It was my girlfriend's birthday we stopped in to get some lunch and drinks. They had some decent drinks. The food on the other hand was to say the least just disappointing. We ordered ceviche first thing with the mahi-mahi the chunks of fish were about an inch thick and didn't have enough lime so they were very raw and towered in the middle of the plate with barely any of the other ingredients. I ordered a sandwich and she got the fish and chips, both were barely worth more than two bites.

Fun casual evening after a walk on the beach! Food was great and the Pisco Sour was so good I needed a second. Shea is an amazing host, bartender, waitress, and server. She does it all and never seemed stressed. We had different meals and all were perfectly prepared. The tuna nachos were a great way to start the evening. The DJ entertainment was an extra!

Waited about an hour to get the food out on our table. They rejected the 10% coupon, because the owner wasn't at the restaurant? That's not customer's business in my opinion. Why even on the yelp app? Customers do not want to be treated this way. Would not come here again!!

Have eaten here many times and normally good experience. Love the tuna nachos, chaufa, ceviche etc but I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT ORDER the Tallareen Saltado or Peruvian lo mein. It was one of the worst things I've had anywhere. Boxed linguini tossed with a few veggies and pieces of chicken. Pretty much inedibly bland and a waste of $15.

Right Off the bat with a roach on my drink. Gave me the ick did not want to eat the food. Partner wanted to order so we did still. Had the Lomo Saltado did not eat it, did not smell good. We paid full price but left without touching food or drink. Dirty place.

Holy cow this place is one of the best restaurants I've ever been too. excellent service the second you walk in the door! great drinks wonderful food with great portions. if you're lucky enough to come in when Adam's working be sure to order his signature coconut margarita. that man has a god given talent with those cute little hands of his. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars, this place is the best!!

This place is tucked in a shopping center. Very open floor and the ambiance was good. Dimly lit and food was great! The ceviches and pork belly tacos/burritos are yummy! Nice little gem here in corpus.

Great Ceviche and service! A must try on the island! They also have a bar if you are feeling like a drink. My favorite was the tuna nachos.

Great tuna ceviche and wok-fried rice. The server/bartender was super attentive and makes delicious caipirinhas. Looking forward to coming back!

I really enjoyed this place. It's not the normal Mexican-style ceviche you'll find on the island. Their tuna nachos are insane! Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

Great hole in the wall! Smash burger was crunchy and intensely flavorful. Tuna poke bites were super fresh and delicious. GREAT service too!

They don't answer their phone. I wanted to make Father's Day reservations. In fact it's almost impossible to make Father's Day reservations in restaurants in CC.

Great food, friendly and helpful staff!! Leche de Tigre in Corpus Christi!!!!!!we have been coming for 5 years now and it never disappoints
