The Painted Marlin Grille

We can’t say that the fried seafood, burgers, or ceviche served at the Painted Marlin stand out from the typical array served up and down South Padre Island. But we certainly enjoyed the fun atmosphere, complete with whimsical painted fish, from our sunny bayside table. The service was friendly, and boaters are welcome to use the docks, so next time we will cruise in with our catch for the kitchen to cook.
