Hands down the best fish tacos I’ve ever had. Try their Baja and Hunan sauce with the fresh catch of the day fish. Note: they have a Saturday everything bagel special that is a local’s favorite. If you plan to go, try to get there by 11 AM so you won’t have to wait too long.

Activities
* Moody Gardens is a huge complex with things to do for the whole family. It can easily be an all day outing, or you can target just one of the many attractions here and spend a few hours. The most dominant features are the three glass pyramids. The main attraction for many people is a visit to the Aquarium Pyramid. This huge aquarium showcases the marine life of the Pacific, the Antarctic, the Great Barrier Reef, the Coral Sea, and the Caribbean. Some of the highlights are the underwater tunnel, touch tanks, and the giant river otters and the penguins, both of which are part of the animal encounter programs.
