Tampico Seafood

Food is juicy and tender,best service, place is a gated building with a police guard. Feels safe and cozy.

Food is delicious here, I drive 45min just to eat the best seafood (we order sizzling red snapper), drinks are great and staff friendly at all times.

Came here on a Sunday at around noon and found the place nearly empty. To start off we ordered the vuelve a la vida which was a combination of ceviche, oysters, shrimp and octopus with cocktail sauce. It was sooooo good we ended up getting 2. We also ordered a dozen oysters and we were pretty disappointed by them. They did not taste fresh at all. My friend got grilled fish diabla style with rice and he rated it an 8/10. "Perfect amount of spice" he said. We each had some margaritas and we loved them!The place has a really old time Hispanic homey feel to it which made us feel right at home. They played nothing but old salsa and merengue songs while we were there which we loved! I will most likely come back and try other things, but I won't be getting the oysters again.

Came here for a late lunch/early dinner. Hole in the wall but the food was delicious! It was a busy Sunday afternoon. We had a 15min wait for 2 people (were told up to 25min). Service was a little slow.Covid protocols: They do limit amount of guests dining and enforce social distancing. Staff wears masks. We ordered the mixed ceviche which was delicious! Wish the portion was a little bigger but good app for 2. We asked for chips but didn't get it. The best item we enjoyed on the menu was the grilled red snapper with shrimp! It IS a wait! Totally worth it! Flavor profile was on point! Would def come back for this dish! Overall the food was delicious which gave it a 4. Again service was slow (which I feel like was just an off day) and didn't feel super clean. The bartender wears his masks below his nose which doesn't make sense. Would def come back! Perf mom/pop whole in wall:)

I can't wait to go back to visit Houston just for this restaurant! I am still dreaming of that fish. This is a must try restaurant!

Our family had been telling us about this place for a very long time, and how amazing it was, and we were so excited that it was opened when we were in town! The picture does not do it justice with how amazing this place was we got the red snapper and had shrimp as well and they do a really good job of giving you the correct amount of food for the amount of people that are at the table and they did a wonderful job! We got a side of the fried rice, and it was the perfect addition to the fish and shrimp. The onions that were underneath the fish were probably the best onions that I have ever had in my entire life and when added to the fried rice it was just delicious. The shrimp was also super flavored and just amazing. Highly recommend this place. If you're a fan of seafood, the fish was fresh and the shrimp were delicious overall 10 out of 10 highly recommended.!

Great come back fried snapper was delicious The place was burned down about a year ago and was horrible to see it go but they have rebuilt this place and the menu is pretty much the same and delicious and fresh as always

There were 5 of us in our party. Each had something different. The consensus was that the service was good and the Food was just ok. The prices were very high. I guess the new building isn't going to pay for itself.

Just finishing up here at Tampico, what can I say. Great seafood. Great service. Very attention to detail on the way your food is presented on the plate. I had the red snapper a la plancha( grilled with shrimp. My wife had the shrimp fried with rice. Wow! Great eating. I do recommend this restaurant. Come on by and try. Off the airline. Could not have a better waitress than Meche she was great !! Prices are on par. When you get fresh red snapper, but worth it, oh, so worth it

Oh my the best Ceviche in Houston. You have to try it. The whole fried fish is Devine. I think I will visit today.
