“We stopped by over the 4th of July weekend while driving along the coast. We were very impressed by the friendly and very accommodating staff who went out of their way to make our lunch just perfect. The seafood was good, fresh and not expensive. The same dishes in a fancy place would cost $10 more. I hear they will be moving into a new place with an ocean view soon. I will be looking for them next time I am in town!”
“Absolutely amazing! BBQ ribs were fantastic. Chicken fried chicken was really good! No complaints on any of the food. The people were nice. We will definitely be coming back on Sunday for the BBQ!!”
“We spent a Sunday afternoon looking a cars for our 17 year old son! Decided to stop in due to the reviews online! The food was great! I personally had the wings! Some of the best wings I have had! Son enjoyed the Mac and Cheese Burger! It was ginormous! Definitely will eat at El Mirador again!”
“Loved it. It's a little hole in the wall, with awesome atmosphere!! Will be back! The people working there were friendly and attentive. The food was great ?”
“Really good food, cute decorations, and friendly and knowledgeable staff! Nice spot for vegetarian / vegan options - I got the Jellyfish smoothie and protein waffles and both were delicious ”
“Food was great, service was great, price was great. Best place we have eaten at port lavaca. Also the interior chairs and tables are all hand carved and painted which really makes this place extra special.”
“This place was a suggestion between the owner Lisa and a server, about opening a Vietnamese food place, (not Chinese). Since in Port Lavaca there were no Vietnamese style restaurants.”
“Ate here for lunch. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested an off menu item called the "big rig" sushi roll. It was huge and delicious. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back and try something new!”
“Omg get a breakfast gordita! Amazingly authentic Mexican. I couldn't wait to grab breakfast anytime I passed by. I highly recommend the tacos! Best food truck.”
“I love this place! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. The staff is friendly. I have had the bbq and the burgers. I love them both. The sausage is particularly delicious .I love the way you fix your own burger. Everything on their fixings bar is always fresh and always clean. The tea is good too.I try to eat here at once a month. It’s the one hamburger I crave.”
“We visited Feb 3, 2024 This is a good restaurant the bonus was sitting on the patio. The food and service very good.The marina with the fishing boats were awesome! Scenery and atmosphere is amazing. Relaxing! We got to see Daulphins !!”
“Omg, great food and service! Had the Chicken fried steak special with mashed potatoes and green beans - it all tasted great. Honestly the coconut pie was so good I’ll probably come by again just to have pie and coffee ? Restaurant was clean and everyone working there was friendly and helpful - definitely will be back!”
“The food is made fresh, I ordered a beef fajita and a Barbacoa con tortilla de harina. The tacos were tasty and fresh they were served with a side of charro beans Delicioso!!”
“Since iv moved back iv had this place in my ❤. They have my favorite dish on the menu and it is as good as it was when I used to live in Palacios tx. The restaurant there was just amazing and til I came here I hadn't seen or heard of it again til HIBANEROS... I THANK THEM FOR EVERYTHING...
