La Ribera — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

Stopped by around noon n it was busy. My first thought as soon as i walked in was. Wow. This place is huge. The dining areas are huge. The atmosphere was cozy. The people were older generations but thats great. Cuz then u know there aint no issues. The lemonade wasnt too tart. It was delicious. My waitress took my order fast even helped me cuz it was my first time. I checked out the food pics posted on n i thought the seafood looked great. My only issue, n its not a big issue. Is the booth i was sitting at. Either i was too big or the booth was too small. But not a big deal. Plenty of tables to have sat at. I had the cat fish n 5 fried shrimp All I could say is oh wow. It was so amazingly fresh. The shrimp still had a fresh flavor of tasting just caughtm n the fried cat fiish, amazing. I especially notice the shredded lettuce n dice tomatoes. Completely fresh. I am so upset i did not know about this resturant sooner. Definately a place to check out for lunch n get the seafood. I specificately came here for fried fish n shrimp n they did not dissapoint. I will definately be coming back n i will be bringing guest. However i will be sitting at a table instead of a booth. But i will not let that affect the score. 5 outta 5 for me. Didnt run...

My tacos were delicious. Love that they cut the meat in small pieces. Unfortunately, I feel their staff can be more attentive than they were when I went to eat there. My husband and party were waiting for me, but my order was going to be separate. A waitress did not even come to me to assist me. I had to hunt one down. I interrupted their chatter with another customer. For the amount of people in the restaurant I think I waited a long time. I had two different waitress and the one that served my food was not really pleasant. She was just "doing her job", but did not even bother to check on us. I ended up taking my food to go, because nobody likes to eat where you are not even being attended. Aside that, the food is excellent and the prices are great. My 2 toddlers got to eat for $2 something on a breakfast special they had of eggs, potatoes, and beans. One more thing, tortillas seemed store bought and one of them was semi hard as if they warmed up from the day before. But as mentioned, their food was great and seasoned deliciously. Restrooms look and smelled cleaned. Food is definitely a 5 star, but service from that specific waitress was a 2. Business owners are very attentive to customers needs,...

Nastiest tacos ever! My first time here & walking in I noticed a sewage odor..went a little further inside & it had dissipated. Maybe plumbing issues in the restroom area is the cause? Anyhow it was my Dad's birthday so we stopped by for breakfast. Waitress was nice & it was empty as it was early Sunday morning. However we ordered 2 tacos each & it took 45 mins for it to come out. No biggie but when I picked up my spam & egg it was completely soggy, soaked, & dripping in LARD. Like not even due to using butter to make the eggs but oily lard! Had no flavor whatsoever & flour tortillas were store bought quality. I didn't eat it but was enjoying visiting with my Dad, I did want to pay for the food, I don't believe in stiffing anyone but will not return. Waitress never came to offer beverage refills, or to pick up the plates from the table. The worst part was them throwing out a homeless man for trying to purchase a taco & he was saying "Please, I'm sorry but I'm starving". Patrons laughed at him so he just left, they chose to not serve him. I will...
