2 piece Shrimp & Fish!
Joe B.

Great food and service. Fresh and hot and homemade tartar sauce. Grilled corn has a nice Cajun seasoning

Jason A.

When the meal is displayed in the white styrofoam packaging it is less than impressive. Don't fret. They put their effort into the meal. As a Corpus local, this is my go-to. Somehow they price their grouper and snapper plates cheaper than catfish! Their fish is classically fried in a thin batter that doesn't cloak the flavor. Be sure and add a niblet of corn and coleslaw to your order--you won't be disappointed. And their potato wedges they offer, instead of fries, are just as good heated the next day. This is important because the monstrous fillet you get is good for two meals. Plus, they've staffed with the finest. Whether you're dining in or calling in, they cater to your every need. It's so nice to go somewhere that the employees seem to care both about you and what they serve. There are some higher end restaurant serving seafood in Corpus, but for my day-to-day pick, it's Bandas, every time.

Menu and prices

Food is still great price went up crazy high at this location. Don't care for the pricing now.

My wife and I use to go there every Monday for their shrimp dinner, and the place was always clean…read moreand the service was always great, we loved their Monday night shrimp dinner. 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!

The oysters had so much cheese on them you couldn't taste the oyster. Seafood pasta didn't have any…read morecrawfish in it. Our server did take our order, but she had a large table and they got all her attention. We thought they looked busy from outside but they really weren't. The Resturant is really pretty but screaming babies and children just aren't our thing. That was our third time there and it was our last. The first time was amazing about 2 years ago

My husband had the shrimp po boy with fries and he thought it was really good as well! Service was great! Prices were decent, too, for seafood! Loved the decor and ambience inside. We will definitely come back! We forgot to take pics! We devoured it!

Seated immediately and drink and entree order taken quickly. Good service so far…read more I ordered the fish and shrimp platter and upgraded the fish to redfish. Tilapia is not my thing. It comes with hush puppies, coleslaw, and fries along with the fish and shrimp. Ceramic plates, metal silverware, and paper napkins. Music inside was a nice genre kind of country at a bit loud to me. It was clean and comfortable inside. I don't normally comment about the restroom places in my reviews, but, I decided to stop in before I headed back to the hotel and was pretty impressed. Spotlessly clean and smelled nice quite nice. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Shrimp these days is always bland with no flavor. These were not, tender and flavorful. My coleslaw, and fries were all very good. These only drawback to me was the batter on the fish was not very flavorful and not crunchy at all. My total with a soda and reddish upgrade was $32 before tip and sales tax. Not a bad deal for seafood these days.

Stopped by Mariscos Altamar on a Saturday afternoon after checking out the USS Lexington. 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.

My wife read the menu while we were driving and made herself drool and by the time we got here, we…read morewere both starving. I say that as there is a difference when you go to eat somewhere and you are hungry versus being famished. We were famished. Walking in, it reminded me of other crab shacks we have been. Nothing wrong with that. The wife is basically a mermaid so will eat any and all from the sea or ocean. I did find it interesting that there are signatures over pretty much every single surface you can find sans the tables and floor (there were even a couple on the TV screen). Too much? For me, yes. But unto each their own. Other than that, pretty cool place. Everyone was friendly. Though we were having a late dinner, there were still a a lot of dinners so service wasn't the fastest. But they were still attentive and checked on us until we got our waitress. My wife ordered a bucket with shrimp with head on, Manilla clams and calamari with 3 sauces. I got the fried half and half, shrimp and catfish but I also got an order of their special seasoning for me (which evidently includes all their seasonings) and their hushpuppies. (They are frozen but the waitress said they are good so I decided to give them a shot.) When the food arrived, it was a good amount of food. It also came really quickly. My wife barely talked for the entire meal. Other than praises on how good everything was. That is saying something. She is definitely picky with her seafood. I tried some of it and it was great. Mine hit the spot. Fried food isn't hard but it is also easily messed up, all mine tasted fresh and the batter was very tasty. No bad taste from the oil. The sauces/seasoning. That is the best thing to me. it is all in melted butter with garlic and other seasonings. They really add great flavor. Enough that we took them with us. All in all. Very happy with dinner and looking forward to our next trip there.

Food was good but when it came time to pay the bill- the waitress (Olivia O.) used my debit card…read moreto pay for someone else's meal (OCT14) If you decide to eat here, ensure to check your recent transactions!!!!

A Fantastic Experience, and Yvonne Made It Even Better!…read more First, let me start by saying the ambiance was fantastic! From the moment we walked in, the evening was off to a wonderful start. We were greeted by our lovely waitress, Yvonne, who asked if this was my first visit. It was, and little did I know, she was about to make it an evening worth remembering! Yvonne has such beautiful energy, a genuine smile, and an incredible ability to multitask while still making you feel like you're her priority. Throughout the evening, she showed a sincere interest in how we were enjoying everything. She was genuinely engaged as I expressed my absolute love for the incredible flavors and freshness of the food. Everything was simply orgasmic to the taste! Now, let's talk about the moment that made us laugh! When ordering, I thought Yvonne had mentioned one of the plates was called "The David." So, without hesitation, I confidently announced, "I'll have THE DAVID PLATE!" Without missing a beat, Yvonne carefully asked me what I was ordering. I said, "Yes, the David plate!" And I could practically see her thinking, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU ORDERING?! Later, she explained that she had a wonderful waiter friend whom many people knew, and guess what his name was? DAVID! Well, now it's become our little inside joke. From here on out, I'm ordering THE DAVID PLATE!

Very good food with excellent service! All fresh fish, oysters and shrimp!…read more My husband and I enjoy this place! Very causal and friendly staff Rae Kane
