Service was ok. Food was good. We went in on Thursday at 7pm to celebrate my birthday, and my partner got a michelada during their happy hour. When it came to pay, the lady didn't even show us our receipt. Turns out she charged us regular for the michelada and not their happy hour price. When I told her she said she's look into it, and just avoided us afterwards. On top of that, they don't have pricing for drinks. Makes it feel shady, so they prob charge you what they feel like for a drink. Wouldn't recommend, there's plenty of other marisco spots that are better . read more

Food was really good. The service was also great. We had Marisela as our waitress. She was so patient and friendly.

Marisela is the best server here!! It was my mom's birthday and she made sure she felt special on her special day. The food was also great but the service that Marisela provided was above and beyond! She was very attentive and engaged well with our table. 10/10 recommend her if you're ever here. Thank you for making it special for our table, she deserves a raise!! read more

It's horrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Too loud! Cannot eat and have a conversation with your group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You are forced to sit there and stare at each other.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cannot hear the waitress you have to shout your order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They could at least lower the volume.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The shrimp ceviche , cocktails and big platter of octopus is delicious! It has a nice kick of chile garlic and lemon. The waiters were prompt and you can sit in the area that doesn't have live music read more

Simplemente espectacular! Desde el momento en que llegamos, el servicio fue de primera. El personal fue muy atento, amable y siempre con una sonrisa, asegurándose de que todo estuviera perfecto. El ambiente es familiar y muy acogedor, ideal tanto para una comida tranquila como para celebrar en grupo. Se nota el esfuerzo en cada detalle, desde la presentación de los platillos hasta la limpieza del lugar. La comida fue una verdadera delicia: los mariscos frescos, con un sazón auténtico que te transporta directo a la costa. Cada platillo que probamos --desde el ceviche hasta los camarones al mojo de ajo-- estaba lleno de sabor y perfectamente preparado. Sin duda, Mariscos Ixtapa Riverside se ha convertido en uno de nuestros lugares favoritos. ¡Altamente recomendado para quienes buscan calidad, sabor y un excelente servicio! Saludos a Marisela y Rosy!!! read more

The mole and the green enchiladas were really good. The side of beans were good, rice was ok. Kind of weird that they're served on a separate plate. The best part was our waitress. She was super attentive to us, played with our niece and made sure she was eating. The restaurant itself was nice, clean, spacious. read more

I leave this review due to there being two pieces of hairs INSIDE my food not outside but inside so when I took a bite a big white hair was coming out. Also the mango was expired so it wasn't edible to eat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was also dirty from the floor it looked like there was food from days ago just sitting on the floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was alright they brought the drink like in five minutes but the food took like 40 minutes to receive and it was only us and another family in the restaurant nobody else. I am Hispanic as well I love my Hispanic people but this isn't right for there to be hair inside of peoples food they should start wearing hair nets if there are going to cook most of the people cooking in the kitchen did not have hair nets on big red flag. I dont wanna sound like a Karen leaving a bad review but when you eat some randoms persons hair it's not the best. read more

Came here for date night with my wife. I had the trio combo taco, enchilada and chile rellano. My wife had the shrimp enchiladas- some of the best Mexican food we enjoyed in Riverside. Margaritas were excellent as well as service and fair prices for 2026. We will be back. read more

The food and the vibe was amazing. This place has been on my try-out list for a while. My husband & and I finally had some time to check it out. We ordered some michis, a Molcajete and the large prawns & clams recommended by our waitress. We literally took a LONG time deciding on what to order because in the menu looked so freaking good!!. The prawns & clams that Marisela recommended was delicious! Our waitress Marisela was amazing! She had a great character and the place was such a vibe, even the guy taking songs by request was amazing. I can't wait to come back. Now we know about their entertainment hours/days. Looking forward to our next visit. See you again Marisela!! read more

Very good food love and the service the waitress Marisela love her She always have a smile. Every thing very recommended.

Overall, this place and location sucks! Save your time and money. Went in there with a party to celebrate - 10 people total. The staff didn't understand we wanted a table(s) for 10 people. The server didn't seem too enthused to work or serve us; like we were putting her out of her way and didn't bother checking in on us. We were served chips, salsa and refried beans. The beans and salsa were served in containers the size of shot glasses. We asked for more chips later and we were told we'd have to pay since the first serving is complementary - who the hell does that?! The food was average, but overpriced - although I will say they do have good rice and beans. Check your bill before you pay. Even though we all requested separate checks, the server tipped herself and included the gratuity in the bill. Real presumptuous of her since the service sucked. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

We've driven by this location countless of times; but never had the chance to actually try it. Unfortunately for us, we finally tried it. They do offer free parking in a lot adjacent to the restaurant. You walk along the street to the front. Once you enter - you'll have to wait and hope one of the employees notice you to be seated. We went during the Dia De Muertos festival in downtown. So I am not sure if they are use to this amount of traffic or if it was just an off day for the chef and servers. Food was flavorless. Oysters are not fresh. The best thing we had was the free chips and salsa and the bottled beer. The service? There wasn't any. Besides taking our order and flagging her down to pick up the oysters - she never came to check on us. * DISCLAIMER - I was not charged for the oysters, but that was after having to deal with the server trying to teach me how to eat oysters and the owner wasting 20 mins of my time trying to blame his supplier for the lack of freshness and flavor. And to top it all off... if you thought you were going to dinner to enoy the company of those you came with; think again. The karoke and music was so loud and I couldn't even hear what i was saying. read more

Love this place Nancy and Jocelyn where amazing food was bomb drinks where amazing I love it here will be back

I was really craving mariscos and unfortunately this just was not it.... I ordered the tostada de ceviche and I couldn't stomach more than a few bites. The fish itself tasted like it was marinated in artificial lime juice, the artificial taste was so strong that even after putting a lot of hot sauce it was still too much to handle. My boyfriend had the mojara frita which he did enjoy. The service here was also not the best, the person waiting on us was rude and inattentive. I really would not recommend this establishment if you're looking for FRESH seafood. read more

We were a party of four. We picked this restaurant for a Instagram post and happened to be in the neighbor. We arrived on a Friday night approximately 5:30. They took a while to take our order and boy we waited a long time for our food to arrive. In fact I was ready to pay for our drinks and walk out. Next time we try the restaurant around the corner. read more

We couldn't decide where to go on this Friday night and ended up choosing Ixtapa. So glad we did! I was craving mole enchiladas and the flavor did not disappoint! It was soo delicious! The platter of clams and lobster was also so fire! I couldn't remember what my hubby ordered, but it was shrimp with some sauce! Fire! Empanadas, great! They had a band playing and created a cool vibe! The waitresses were very attentive! Would definitely go back! It's pricey, but worth it! read more

The food was good, but I can't stop thinking about the garlic shrimp. The service was also great, and the ambiance was cool -- they had a Mariachi band, and after that, karaoke! My only issue was that the tables were too close to the seating area. Aside from that, I would definitely keep coming back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is good but for being my first time was not pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked for a pescado Sarandeado and although the fish has to have scales this one was on every bite and the fish wasn't fully cooked. Waited for more than an hour for this and walked out right away. The mojarra was so greasy the only good thing was my soda. Not a good experience only one waitress was really nice and friendly. read more
