Daddy's Cajun is very good. Dirty Als for fried seafood.

Cap N Roys. Blackened shrimp and fish. Their fumi salad is amazing. It's like coleslaw. Nothing fancy. Good lunch spot.

Trust me, just stay on the island.

Louie's Backyard buffet is pretty good. Hard to beat self serve all you can eat crab legs. The upstairs sports bar is a good place to hang out and has good food. Try the mesquite grilled fajitas.

For a no frills beachfront motel with a tiki bar and grill try the Wanna Wanna.

My absolute favorite italian food place is Gabriellas on the Island.

We do a few Thursday, Friday, Saturday night trips down here and it is Gabriela's all 3 nights. Sometimes I even bring a Sicilian pizza home. Have not had a bad meal from there.

We have added Manuel's gigantic burrrrritos for the drive back Sunday. They are legit.

Call ahead for both places.

We'll be staying at the Port Isla Inn in January. I stayed there before. nice place, inexpensive and has a kitchen(no utensils though).

It is across the road from H.E.B.

Booked here. $228 out the door for four nights.
And good ratings per Expedia.

You did better than me. There 2 of us though. Dominoes and a happy juice store in walking distance. Real close.

Two of us too. Brother is going to go fishing while I’m hunting. I like to hit local eateries when I’m in a new town.

Try Joe's Oyster Bar on the Port Isabel side for a good meal. They also sell fresh seafood if you want to cook yourselves.

Joe’s
Mexiquito
Gabriellas
Dirty Al’s
Capn Roys
Lobo Del MAr
Liams...$$
Grapevine for breakfast

Spend 40-50 days a year on the island and we hit these spots more than others.

Blackbeard's on the Island. Louie's Backyard has an awesome buffet.

Hunted Laguna for many years. Los Fresnos native. No way I was ever up for much of anything after hunting all day.

Good luck!

For a nice inexpensive place stay at the White Sands motel and marina.

IMO the best food in PI is at Isabel's, Manuel's and Gulf Seafood(Joe's Oyster Bar). The Dirty Al's at Pelican Station is pretty good. I prefer the one on the island.

My absolute favorite italian food place is Gabriellas on the Island. Several good places on the island.

X2 I live about 30 mins from PI and I eat at all the places mentioned above. Manuel’s has a taco that’s like 1.5 feet lol.

I would not stay on the island. There's only one way on and off and on case of accidents the causeway could get necked up. The port isla inn is good I hear. Blackbeard's is good to eat and also Marcello's in pi. Also watch your speed, even in Laguna vista. I've lived here since 83. Enjoy your hunt. Mexiquito breakfast tacos better than Manuel's and my mother in law runs it.

If you eat nothing else while you are there, get a couple of the large tortillas with butter from either Isabels or Manuels. Manuel was the cook at Isabels when I was a kid so the food is very similar.

Best tortillas from anywhere IMO
