Señor Donkey is a restaurant that combines Mexican cooking methods with fresh seafood from the region and offers dishes such as shrimp enchiladas and fish Ixtapa. The establishment sits on Padre Boulevard and serves various grilled platters and seafood appetizers.
The restaurant started in 2003 when Alfonso Salazar and his son Cameron converted a former bait stand into a dining place that quickly became known for its fried shrimp. The shift from fishing to food service was a natural step for the family's story.
The menu brings together recipes from the Texas Gulf Coast with Mexican cooking methods and offers dishes like seafood appetizers and grilled fish. The combination of local fishing traditions and traditional flavors shows in each dish.
The place serves lunch and dinner daily and offers both indoor seating and takeout service. You should expect busier periods during main meal times, particularly in the evening.
The family behind the place comes from a fishing background, with Alfonso Salazar working alongside his father and six brothers on the water before starting the business. This fishing heritage shapes the approach to quality and sourcing of the seafood served today.
