Three to four days into their Spring Break trip, the average South Padre Island vacationer might be thinking, “I’m really getting tired of this PB&J-and-macaroni-for-every-meal diet.” 

It may be time to tickle those taste buds by treating them to some of South Padre Island’s favorite food items. Whether this spring breaker is aiming to have a cocktail served in something other than a red solo cup, trying their hand at chivalry by treating their spring break wife to a sunset dinner, or scouting out that hangover-curing piece of pizza, South Padre Island has a lot to offer in the way of food and drink for the average spring breaker on a budget.

South Padre Island regulars would surely direct visitors to Laguna Bob, a restaurant bar that prides itself on serving seafood, sunsets and cocktails. Not only can beachgoers kick back with a cold beverage in hand and order up some of the best fried seafood in town, they can also enjoy live music and watch the Texas sunset while sitting oceanside.

For a fresher taste of South Padre Island, spring breakers should visit Yummies Bistro, a cafe-style restaurant offering coffee, breakfast, brunch, soups, sandwiches, salads and more. While ISU spring breakers might miss their late night Jeff’s Pizza during a week in South Padre Island, D’Pizza Joint can help to fill this void by offering slices at decent prices to those who need a greasy food fix.

Whatever the craving during spring break, South Padre Island will surely deliver in terms of variety. While most restaurants serve up delicacies from the sea, many other restaurants specialize in Mexican cuisine, American-style cooking, Italian favorites, and more.

Regardless of their choice, students on Spring Break are sure to find restaurant options that will help them add a little diversity to their diet during their week in South Padre Island.
