Mariscos Costa Azul - Laredo

My wife and I went for lunch there yesterday. The waiter was very friendly and I noticed they had the lunch specials for $7.99 advertised on the wall. So we went ahead and ordered two. The lunch special reads, Filete al gusto $7.99 monday through friday 11:00am til 2pm I think, (we got there at 11:30am). The food was ok but when I got the bill I noticed they didnt charge me $7.99 but $12.99 which is regular price. So I asked the waiter why?, since I made it clear I wanted the lunch specials.... Quickly some guy with glasses comes up to my table, im assuming he's the owner, and said the special comes with cole slaw and rice and you ordered fries on one plate and veggies on the other thats why its regular price. Then he asked me If I ate there often because everyone knows that... lol seriously? I asked him, then why wasnt I told that before?... and the guy just walked off... wow... ok... last time I eat here thats for sure!!!

Bad customer service, food not that good , I order the fish gratinado and it was super spicy and at first the waitress didn't want to change my plate but she then came back and ask me cause I couldn't eat it at all.

It was so great the food was good and the waitress was so nice i definitely will go again.

Got food to go here alot back in 2017 now again in May 2022 while in Laredo for work. Place is more expensive now but what isnt. Mariscos enchiladas sm shrimp cocktail running $30 w/tip these days. Food is still good same as before. Large shrimp cocktail will run you $14.06 out the door before tip. This place is not for bargain hunters.

I asked for refill on half and half, but I was told by one of the waitresses there's no refill and she just left without asking if I wanted something else to drink.
