We just moved to Oceanside and wanted to find a good authentic Mexican food spot. I was just zooming into maps to see what was on our way and figured we might find a hidden gem and we did!! Service was great and quick, food came out fast and tasted delicious. The carne asada tacos were amazing. It's been a while since I've found a good authentic street taco where the meet is perfect and not chewy. California burrito- this was delicious and HUGE. Great portions, great food, great service. We will definitely eat here again! read more

Order a ceviche tostada literally the worst I've ever had look like they just added the shrimp and added the pico de gallo literally no flavor don't waste your time or money read more

El Mundo De Mariscos - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

First off let me say the greeting of the owner, i believe it was him, was great! But the food here is horrible. No flavor. I ordered an orange fanta and it had no gas or flavor as if he made it with mineral water or something, genuinely not being scandalous here, so he brought me a jarrito. Also ordered an aguachiles and arrived after our food because he was making it "fresh'' and GUESS WHAT, THE SHRIMP WAS RAAW. No thanks I'm not getting food poisoning. No lights turned on very dark. I also took my 2 year old to the womens restroom and it was disgusting, it looked like it hasn't been clean in a week and smelled bad. Never going back! read more

My husband ate here and ordered bacon wrapped shrimp, I believe it was called Coastal Azul. That night he became deathly ill, vomiting and diarrhea at the same time. This lasted all night long. I called and spoke to manager, I believe he was the owner. I told him that my husband had food poising and that maybe they should check the shrimp and asked for him to report it. He didn't apologized nor he seemed concern about my husband. He never asked if he was okay. We will never eat here and I hope that he doesn't kill someone with their shrimp. read more

El Mundo De Mariscos - Tacos de Governador - Mexican Near Me - Oceanside, California

I'm am waiting for this place to close down already. The food is disgusting. It's never packed here or slightly busy at all. Which makes me worry about their food rotation. The salsa on the only salad bar was just floating in water . There may have been ice in there when they first opened that day . The food has no flavor. There are plenty plenty of other mexican food restaurants Oceanside has to offer. Plus half the restaurant is in the dark with the lights off. No ambiance what so ever read more

Love love love the Carne Asada plate here!!! Always on point. My hubby loved the camarones a la diabla. The service is always Great two thumbs up and the ambiance is also great!!! Love it here!! read more

The coctel de camarón was a good portion full of shrimp! Service was attentive and fast. read more

Service and food is great if you are a seafood lover and honestly one of the best micheladas I have ever had.

My family and I come from Escondido just to visit this place. Amazing food and even better service!!

El ambiente estuvo súper! El servicio estuvo al 100!, los ostiones estaban más o menos pero el Molcajete estaba súper rico! Gracias al servidor estuvo bien amable y los atiendo con cualquier cosa! Le damos 5/5 por el Día del padre!! read more

How in the world does this place rank less than 5 ??? I mean, just look at my pic! F'n the bomb! The waiter/owner (I think, I didn't ask but he acted like it lol) is awesome, very welcoming. Leftovers was the best lunch ever... including the leftover mango Margarita (cus I like getting tipsy at work , yikes!) ... um last part was a joke ;) read more

I keep coming back for the fish tacos takeout. Of course, as the cost of all things everywhere has increased, so has the cost of these, but the fish tacos (#5) are still the greatest. read more

Got a breakfast burrito, seemed like they didn't let the oil heat up before they cooked the hash browns because they were very mushy and absorbed all the oil. 80% of the burrito was hash brown so that was unfortunate, when I did get to the ham and egg it was good for a few bites but honestly felt like I wasted 13$. Last time I came here the food wasn't very appetizing so I was not surprised by the let down. If your in the area I'd say your much better off going to pulpo loko or mariscos ensenada. read more

Food was absolutely terrible, ordered a carne asada burrito and it tasted horrible the meat tasted old and it was more fat than meat, customer service was decent but I wouldn't recommend this place at all Have a wonderful dayyy. read more

Ordered Carne Asada and Shrimp Tacos. No flavor at all. On top of that each taco was like $7.00 Most expensive and least tasty tacos ever. read more

Never been here and I've lived up the street from them for over 15 years. Just went in to pick up a parrillada and a potato and bean burrito. My boss had the burrito and LOVED IT!--He is a VERY finicky eater. I had the parrillada and it was savory, hot and fantastic! Lady at the counter was very sweet and the food is unmatched. I'll be having the oysters next time. My only advice is that this place needs more light. It's a bit dark in there. read more

Mariscos are raucous Mexican festive places to enjoy authentic Mexican food but especially seafood ("los mariscos"). This is a good one not necessarily better than other Mariscos we have been to, but a solid one for consistent food and excellent service. We had a dozen oysters (fairly large, plump and fresh), a seafood ceviche mixto plate with shrimp and octopus, and a two fish tacos plate with rice and beans. House chips and salsa were kept flowing. Everything was good and satisfying. The hot food was tasty but not greasy. Seafood fresh. We had one horchata (drink) which was authentic and good. Service was quick and presented with a great smile. Would recommend. read more

I know this is a seafood place, but to be honest, we ALWAYS go here for breakfast burritos. Super conveniently located for us, just wish they were open before 11. Breakfast burritos, salsas, chips are on point. I usually get the bacon breakfast burrito. The sausage is also good. I think chorizo is also an option. Friendly people and easy to call in and pick up. Food is hot and ready quickly. read more

If you come for the chips and salsa, then you've come to the wrong place, they're average, but since this is a Marisco's restaurant, then I would highly recommend it, the portions are good and all of the sea food is good, shrimp tostadas are the best, north of baja great beer selection, friendly peeps, and a true south of the border ambiance, for folks who like joes crab shack and such chain establishments, then this place is not for you, you get authentic Marisco's and Mexican food here at good prices. read more

Worst service in my life we ordered at 5pm and didn't get food till I canceled my order took them 2 hrs

I was satisfied with the food and service. Very friendly and attentive people. I don't remember their names but they were nice to us. Thank you and we will come back read more

The food is super good, the nachos are freshly made and the tacos are super good!!! The carne asada plate hits the spot and the service is amazing, he's very welcoming and friendly, the ambiance is festive, and overall it's super good read more

The best ceviche I've ever had and I'm Mexican and grew up spending a lot of time in Baja hands down delicious!!

Don't come here if you don't speak Spanish. Most of the waitresses speak ZERO English. Food is ok... most seafood. Really just a few items cooked 10 different ways. I would skip it personally. I have been here about 10 times. Today was my last. Never again. read more

This place gets absolutely zero business.. the parking lot is always empty and dirty..the walls outside are 5 different brown patches .. all the plants outside are dead.....and I have eaten here a few times.. only to have an upset stomach and sitting in the bathroom.. I tried..but.. when I see zero customers all week and they are seafood....don't buy the seafood until I see a serious change in how they maintain the building outside...I'm definitely not going inside! read more

Aguachile to die for! Best in the area! And excellent and attentive staff. Everything was delicious and we will be back! read more

Many things on the menu that you can't get at every Mexican restaurant, varieties of fish dishes but other things too. Generous portions. Ceviche alone is worth the trip. Mexicans eat there. Tourists probably can't find it. read more

Horrible dining experience. Had to keep asking the waiter for refills, missing food and drinks etc. Not once during our 2 hour dinner were we asked for refills. When asking for a refill after patiently waiting an hour, the response I was given was "well you know soda refills are a $1 right?" Really? Our bill was $300 the nerve to think I would decline refills over a $1.Here's the funny part, there was only one other small family in the entire restaurant, so can't say they were too busy on this one. Food was under seasoned and don't get me started on the pitch black lighting and DISGUSTING restrooms. Avoid if possible. Don't remember the last time I had such a horrible dining experience like this. read more

Best Mexican food in oceanside! Moved from orange county last year, tried everywhere and this is the place. Also, staff is awesome! They're always so friendly! read more

I've been here a few times over the last couple of years and have mixed reactions. The mariscada was delicious ! Huge prawns. Aguachile is solid and ceviche mixto is on point too. However their version of a filete relleno de pescado which they call a filete al vapor or something like that was waaaaay off. Del Mundo added sour cream & French fries for some unknown reason. I honestly hated it and was kinda mad while paying for it. I'd go back but I guess this is one of places you have to ask about everything included in the dish. read more

Favorite place in North County for Cerviche. . Good tortas and burritos... Friendly service.

I've been here a few times and it was pretty good, prices are good, food and good and service is good. They also give you some chips while you wait for your food. This restaurant is tucked away in a small plaza next to a rowdy bar. My favorite is the California burrito and a can of coconut water and several choices of hot sauce. There's no outdoor seating but there is plenty of seating inside. read more

This place used to be Marisco Ensenada. idk if they are connected but i have to give them one *. I had forgone my own fabulous cooking for what I thought was my last chance for awesome street tacos. Yuck! No taste. Either the pork was bought from some chain that uses steroids or it wasn't pork at all. When I ask for real salsa, i was told no. btw, they have wifi but it's for Spanish speaking customers only. I found Mariscos Ensenada after I got back to my resort but I'll have to wait until next year. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! GROSS! read more

Best beer selection in town!! Any type of beer you want they have from domestic to imported from singles to 32oz. Food is delicious and the service is the best! Might not look like much but don't shy away been going here 3-4 times per month for year now and have never been disappointed. read more

Amazing Latin seafood. Super friendly staff let us stay after close. Only lost a star because of ambiance. Worth going for the tostadas!
