Since the early fifties, the Old Lighthouse Grocery has been a landmark in downtown Port Isabel. The building has withstood the storms and hurricanes that occasionally swept in from the Gulf of Mexico. Vicente “Chente” Gonzales sold the Lighthouse Grocery to Manuela Stevenson in 1988.

Retaining the original sound construction, she enhanced the outside with the decorative awnings and landscaped the small plot between the building and Queen Isabella Boulevard. Inside, imaginative décor transports clientele to a gentle Italian Mediterranean world of excellent cuisine, courteous service, and tempting libations.

Thus the historic old building, given new life, provides much pleasure to tourists and locals alike.
