El Huachinango Petrolera

Nestled on Veracruz 10 in the bustling Petrolera neighborhood of Reynosa, El Huachinango Petrolera is a beloved spot where the sea meets the wok. The menu showcases classic Mexican seafood staples—whole grilled fish, ceviche with a hint of lime, and the signature Zarandeado shrimp—alongside Chinese favorites such as crispy spring rolls, sweet‑and‑sour chicken, and steaming bowls of noodle soup. Diners often start with the crisp Ensalada de la Casa, a fresh mix of lettuce, tomato, and avocado drizzled with a tangy citrus vinaigrette. The interior is bright and airy, with nautical décor, wooden tables, and colorful murals that celebrate the Gulf of Mexico. Service is attentive, and the staff frequently recommends the “Especial Sazón Mexicano” platter, a generous assortment of fried fish, calamari, and seasoned octopus. Prices are moderate, making it a great choice for families, groups of friends, or a quick lunch after work. While the website does not list exact hours, the restaurant is typically open from midday until late evening; callers can confirm current opening times at +52 899 920 5017. Reservations are accepted by phone or WhatsApp, and the friendly team is happy to accommodate larger parties.
