Reviews
I got the fish (pescado) torta, with calamari as an appetizer. The fish on it was mildl but flavorful. The calamari had the tentacles which is rather rare, and good.
My girl got the dozen oyster plate and spilled her sauce a bit in the picture, haha. It was prettier before she did that. The oysters themselves were very nice. The fries are standard style crinkle cut. The toast was standard garlic texas toast Nothing to complain there.
Will come again.
The menu is massive! I’ve never seen so many options for seafood in one place. They also have Mexican food and burgers.
I went with the chicken tacos, which is a bit of a jump for me since I normally only eat fajitas. The rest of my family got fish of some sort.
I was extremely happy with my tacos. They were simple but extremely tasteful. They packed a lot of flavor in the chicken. I wish that I could have eaten them both. My family loved all of their lunches.
My only complaint was that our server kept disappearing. It took a while to get refills and a check. Overall, it was a good experience. We would absolutely come back.
The long drive home to the Rio Grande Valley after an epic Metallica concert in Houston calls for a serious refuel, and Gumbo Seafood in Refugio proved to be the perfect pit stop. This unassuming spot delivered a much-needed and flavorful reward after a weekend of headbanging.
First up was the shrimp cocktail, a classic choice to cut through the road fatigue. It was a welcome sight: a chilled glass filled with plump, fresh shrimp in a zesty, tangy sauce that instantly refreshed the palate.
Next, the main event: a steaming bowl of their namesake gumbo. The rich, dark roux was packed with a generous amount of shrimp and seafood, offering that authentic, soulful flavor you hope for in a good gumbo. It was the perfect, hearty dish to replenish the energy spent in the mosh pit.
To round out the meal, we dove into an order of panchos with fajitas. The crispy tortilla chips piled high with tender, sizzling fajita meat and smothered in melted cheese were pure comfort food. It was a savory, satisfying dish that hit all the right notes.
For any traveler making the trek between Houston and the RGV, Gumbo Seafood is a worthy detour. It’s a delicious and satisfying oasis that will get you back on the road feeling content and well-fed.
