Chuy's Red Snapper — Restaurant in Nuevo Progreso

Red Snapper is a nice, air conditioned break from the hustle and bustle of the main street. You aren't rushed through your meal and are waited on attentively. Food prices are decent, a bit cheaper than what you would find in a family owned Mexican restaurant in the states. However, the flavor (at least of the chile relleno plate that we had) was far less than what you would find in Texas. Everything was rather bland. I recognize that this is not what they specialize in, so I would be curious to try some of their seafood at some point. Their drinks, while not strong, are excellently flavored, with my wife's pina colada being the second best that she has ever had in...

This Red Snapper is farther south than Chuy's Red Snapper and on the west side of the street. Several stores past the Canada Store. It's a bit of a hike to get there. I didn't notice the outdoor balcony seating until we had already been served. Delicious and reasonably priced meals. I had the Economy Mexican Plate & my sister had the regular Mexican Plate. She couldn't eat all of hers. My portions were just right. Ice cold Indio beer. 😁 The restaurant had a nice atmosphere with a singer playing his organ. I forgot to take pics of our plates! Entry to the restaurant requires climbing a staircase....

ATTENTION Apparently, they have a MEGA watered down margarita that doesn't taste like it has ANY tequila. I was so disappointed when we got our drinks. My husband ordered Titos with OJ and I ordered a margarita on the rocks and i had to order extra shots to pour. When the manager overheard my comments about the drinks, she said that their "Happy Hour" margaritas aren't "as strong" as the regular. I didn't even know they had happy hour. I told her I just ordered a margarita. The next one was BOMB!

Didn't taste their food, but they had live music,...
