Lobo Del Mar

20251130 Lobo Del Mar TOV ALB 0004 webGreat food with a view

We recently made the trip out to South Padre Island to visit Lobo Del Mar where we were greeted by a sociable staff and atmosphere. A unique thing here is that the restaurant features an outdoor area situated on a pier. On this visit, we sat inside but made sure to get a table with a view of the bay.

Once seated, our waitress informed us that they offer a Happy Hour menu from 3 to 6 p.m., there are select cocktails and draft beers, as well as appetizers for a good price. We settled on an order of buffalo bone-in wings, which had an ample amount of meat and weren’t overly spicy, still needing some time to look over the menu and decide on entrees. Whenever I go out to the island, I always opt for seafood, though Lobo Del Mar has plenty of other selections to serve a variety of palates including breakfast.

After debating over some options that were all equally appetizing, I ordered the Lobo’s Coconut Shrimp with a side of Spanish rice. My boyfriend selected the Lobo Fish Sandwich, which has options to be grilled, blackened, or the beer batter fried that he opted for.

We look forward to being with the Wintertainers™ and also with our readers. It’s a chance for us to mingle, talk to old friends, and make some new friends. And it also gives our readers some time to spend with the Wintertainers™ that attend, and possibly see some entertainment that they haven’t yet seen this season.
