Current Menu prices that went up

Updated menu prices 9-6-25 prices are reasonable. I appreciate the service was quick and I didn't wait long. I also like how prices are posted before ordering .

Snapper platter with potato wedges & a roll.
Monica G.

I LOVED this place. Listen, if I'm headed to a place where there is a beach, I'm having seafood SOMEWHERE. I was staying downtown and took a little 10 minute drive to this place. Don't let the neighborhood fool you. This place was delicious & inexpensive. I ordered the snapper platter. I wanted a side of coleslaw, but by the time I got there (4:00ish) they had run out. The snapper was so fresh with a nice crispy batter. Ugh it was so good. It came with three large potato wedges which also had a very LIGHT batter on them and I loved it. Personally, I am not a fan of beer battered fish, so I'm glad this one was the grainy type. I also don't eat rolls and even the roll was good!!! Lol Not a big selection of soft drinks so I ordered an unsweet tea. It was the brewed tea not instant so that is a plus for me also. Very simple, clean place. Wasn't crowded when I went, but there were people coming in & out for to go orders the whole time I was there. My cashier was very friendly also. If you're in Corpus, definitely put this on your list to try. I come to this area every several months and plan on hitting this place up every single time from here on out. Ps. The platter comes with tartar sauce, but I'm not a fan so I asked them not to put any on my plate.

Drum and fish, shrimp platter.
Esequiel S.

Great food great seri. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Want you enjoy a good meal. We had drum and shrimp and fish. Good stuff. Prices are very reasonable.

Kids mini corn dog, fried zucchini, fried Mac n cheese, and shrimp.

Great seafood if you are in Corpus Christie. It's a small hole in the wall establishment and majority of customers take their food to go. The inside of the restaurant needs a renovation big time. Panhandlers were also coming in and out trying to sell you stuff while you are eating. There was not really anyone policing that issue. You are kind of on you own in the dining area if you need something you have to walk to the window. The menu is written on the wall and they have two windows to order and pick up. The great food is worth the visit. The portions were huge and the coating on the fish was crispy and fish itself was tender. Definitely stopping by here again but taking my food to go.

2 shrimp and 2 fish with 3 potato wedges, roll and tartar sauce

First time ever eating here, and there's no regrets! It was soo delicious! The shrimp and fish were huge! Tarter sauce has a little kick to it, very good but different! Customer service was great and didn't wait too long. There's no place to sit inside but that was ok.

Fish, shrimp, oyster combo (2,2,2 or "P")
Jovan M.

Great hole in the wall fried seafood. You get you order, at a very fair price. Just a note, the pricing is a little off. Items I, N, and Q are are over double the price of G, L, and P. You get twice the food, but no potato wedges. Just FYI. And the onion rings are the best!

Dinah I.

First time here and I was very skeptical to eat here because the look of the building outside was so old and I normally get grossed out by things like that. When we went no one was dining in lol but I will say that the place looked as clean as it could be in an old building like it is so that was good. The man who took our order didn't really greet us, so that was kind of weird but the food made up for it. We ordered the fried fish, shrimp and oysters with potato wedges and OMG... it was soooooo stinking good!!!!! I was so surprised lol everything tasted fresh and perfectly fried. The fried fish are small pieces, not a fillet, so keep that in mind when ordering. They give you a roll, lime and tarter sauce so we didn't have to ask for anything else. It's definitely a hole in the wall place but it's so worth it, please try this place!

Double Grilled Veracruz. Awesome.
Jerry R.

The best thing on the menu is a Double grilled Veracruz. I have ordered it many times and it's just perfect. Get 15 Potato Wedges as well. This combo will serve two people. The grilled or fried fish fillets are also groovy. Pass on the small chunks of fried fish, mainly breading. They never seem to have Cole Slaw available.

Double flounder to go SOOOO GOOD
Marco G.

Came back yet again this time I picked up the double flounder for my entire family three in total. They were all fresh hot and tasted so good. I don't know what kind of seasoning do you use or what process but it always taste consistently good. And the huge potato wedges with a little lemon complement the flounder so well. And then the delicious Hawaiian roll.

Fried snapper, potato wedges, hush puppies and jalapeno peppers.

Parking…read morewas nice and spacious when we got there, but by the time we left they were clearly gearing up for the dinner rush and things had filled in quite a bit. Good heads up that this place gets busy on weekends, so plan accordingly. Every table gets a complimentary small bowl of ceviche and a couple of crispy tostadas to start, which was a nice touch, the ceviche wasn't too sour and the tostadas came with hot sauce on the side. Just know it's limited to one per table. Filete de Pescado Relleno ($16-17, 6.5/10) - Portion size is massive. You get three small fish fillets stuffed with octopus, crab (possibly imitation, wasn't totally sure), mushrooms, peppers, calamari, and shrimp, all smothered in a thick layer of cheese - Comes with a small side salad, garlic bread, a few limes, and a scoop of rice, so it's a full plate on its own - The white sauce tying everything together was tangy and sweet and worked really well with the fish - Super rich and heavy dish, and honestly not totally my style since I'm not that accustomed to this kind of preparation, but if you grew up eating stuffed seafood like this, I'd imagine it's a real treat Overall, Mariscos Altamar is a really cool spot in Corpus Christi if you're into Tex-Mex seafood fusion. It's hard to find anything quite like it elsewhere in the area, and the fresh seafood combined with Mexican and Tex-Mex flavors makes for a genuinely unique meal. If you're looking to try something new, this place will absolutely deliver some flavors you haven't had before, and it does it at a pretty reasonable price. Recommend it, especially if you're already accustomed to rich, stuffed seafood dishes.

It is spot on and as delicious as it was 30 years ago... That recipe never gets old! The service was amazing... Our server treated us like we were regulars, and the restaurant is just fun and beautiful. The manager saw what we had ordered and smiled ear to ear, we stopped to ask us if everything was good and we said it was fabulous! I don't think he was born when we first started ordering this dish and I'm not so sure if the chefs were either, but they did a great job! Returning to this review to update one year later. I've been to Waterstreet several times since. Always consistent, fresh, delicious. Once in a while the hostess is a bit inconsiderate, but when we return next time, they're gone... so management addresses service issues quickly.

I wish all my family could have attended bc I think we would have had a blast just eating incredible food and enjoying each other's company. I will say though, don't come here if you expect to pay less and enjoy more. The prices are pricey but the food is worth it!! The only thing I was not impressed with was the pineapple cheesecake. It tasted way more like a custard than a cheesecake and I would not order it again. BUT the drum, oysters, mushrooms, sushi, fish, rolls, etc were superb!! We will definitely be back!!

But we stopped going there because we were not allowed to take any uneaten shrimp out of the restaurant, some nights we had close to half a plate of shrimp left and they had started to stop any food being taken out. I couldn't understand this we had paid for our meals and left a generous tip, but they said the management said they were not allowing and food to be taken home. But we had taken food home before with no problem. But they had changed their policy for some reason. So we stopped eating there, every other restaurant we go to allows the use of the doggie bag, so as I said that's why we don't go there anymore, but the food and service is great. Just remember you have to eat everything on your plate, because it's not going with you!

I met up with some family for a last-minute lunch here today. I almost skipped it since most…read moreMexican spots in town lean on the same taqueria-style menu and it gets repetitive. This place does have some of that, but they also offer a good mix of seafood and less typical options, which stood out. I went with a Texas plate with cheese enchiladas and carne guisada. Not the most exciting choice, but it ended up being one of the better versions I've had. The sauces tasted homemade and the guisada had that slow-simmered flavor. The flour tortillas were made in house, which is a big deal for me and not something you always find around here. My brother ordered the ceviche and the portion was massive for the price. He couldn't finish it and had plenty left over, and said it was excellent. My son went with a burger and cleared his plate, so that says enough. My mom ordered enchiladas stuffed with carne asada and covered in queso. If I had paid closer attention to the menu, I probably would have gone that route. She's usually a light eater and still finished the whole plate. The staff we interacted with were friendly, the place looked good inside, and it didn't feel like a basic taqueria setup. Prices were fair too. I'll be back.

They had a green and red sauce it was savory not too spicy. There was live music playing. Service was okay but could improve. They had booths and tables for seating. It was a family friendly environment. The menu was full of many options. Parking was easy to find. Food: the asada was cooked well but was more on the oily side. So much that it made the tortilla a bit saggy. 4/5 Service: The server didn't recommended anything or ask if we needed help with the menu. Didn't check on us too much. 3/5
