Wow what a serendipitous find! This place is a hidden gem and literally hidden. Look for the sign carniceria el Mercado. Super casual place which I like to call "dive" due to atmosphere, prices, and authenticity. Great service, excellent food and very nice people, The shrimp taco was loaded with cabbage and veggies as well as fish-both super delicious, Honestly two of the best I've ever had. Shrimp was $5 and fish $4. The meat options for taco Tuesday are only $2! Too bad I live over 2 hours away otherwise I'd come more often. read more

Muy buena comida y calidad , solo le doy 4 estrellas porque todo estaba muy enchiloso para mi gusto, pero si te gusta lo picante este es el Lugar perfecto.... El mariscoco es impresionante .... La próxima vez les pediré sin chile please !! read more

First time being at the new location. The Food was delicious very generous portions. Ambience was great .

Service with a smile! The worker behind the counter did not speak English and so I was able to flex my bilingual-ness when placing my order lol. Everything was seasoned to perfection *insert visual of salt bae and a chefs kiss* Price point was reasonable and not to mention the FRESHNESS of the food!! Here's what we ordered: Agua Fresca piña (pineapple flavored juice) bomb, can never go wrong with this flavor. Shrimp and crab tostadas (I could do without the tostada shell and eat just that like a soup , yes, it's that good. Would definitely order again. Chilies Gueritos (shrimp stuffed yellow peppers) I'd say these were surprisingly a bit greasy. Still tasty flavor, I'm greedy so I expected it to be PACKED with filling. 1000/10, I recommend read more

This place took a party of 20 last minute. It looks small on the outside but it actually has a ton of room and has live music on the weekends. I was a bit hesitant as when you walk in and sit down it isn't much to look at plus seafood in the desert.... however I was proven wrong. I got a mango ceviche and it was the best I ever had. The man got fish tacos and he also said best he ever had. My friend got the seafood tower and it was massive. Another guy got the grilled shrimp and they were amazing. They also have probably the best guacamole I have had in a long time. The staff was friendly especially with a last min large group of dirty ballplayers. When in the area I would go back. There are soo many options and not just seafood. read more

Fue mi primera vez aquí y pedí los camarones a la plancha y costaba 22 dólares solo para que viniera con 10 putos camarones, ¿hablas en serio? Es una estafa, la comida también era asquerosa, no lo hice y ni siquiera me llené, apenas hay comida en mi plato, no vengas a este lugar, es lo peor y están cobrando de más read more

This was my third visit to this establishment. I've found the food to be decent and the service excellent. The service was so good this time I tipped 50% of my bill. The problem with the place seems to be the manager or owner. A man acting as if he owned the place came and left while I was dining. He had a dour disposition and seemed unfriendly as he spoke with the staff. Not once did address one of his customers. read more

We came here twice in one weekend. All the mariscos were super fresh, the mojarra was CRISPY and well seasoned, my sister ordered a sope de pastor and it was bomb, my mom ordered fish tacos and they were really good. The torre mangoneada was really fresh and had like a full avocado in there. Recommend the drinks in the coconuts! I would say the best was the aguachiles rojos but know that they are SPICY lol. The ladies working there are super sweet and they get everything done so fast! Definitely recommend read more

I pass by there once in awhile and we decide to stop there and try it, that was bad decisión food was bad and also price was too much for a less food. Don't recommend to stop there. Very bad place to eat read more

Wow. One of the best meals we stumbled into on this trip! Seriously well done. This is worth a stop! Rivals fancy places we've been. Family run, great service, and the food was amazing. We tried: Tostadas Especial, which was an enormous fresh ceviche tortilla. The seafood was fresh, the marinade was fresh and vibrant. It came loaded with shrimp, octopus, abalone, fish, sea s ail, scallops, and avocado. It was a huge portion for $11.99. Shrimp Empanadas: Our server pointed us to the shrimp empanadas because they were made in house (as opposed to the other empanadas) they came out fresh fried, the filling was great- full of shrimp and cheese and they were topped with lettuce, avocado, onions and sour cream. They were $2/ea and amazing. Fish Tacos: These were battered, served in a homemade corn shell, topped with lettuce and pico. The batter was a little sweet. We really liked them and it was a great take on the fish taco. Particularly good with the hot sauce they brought out. Tacos de Governador: The fresh tortillas showed up again, this time stuffed with garlic shrimp, marlin, cheese, and avocado. The marlin was deep red and seemed light it may be been smoked. These were rich and flavorful. Vampiro- this was an interesting tostada- fresh fried tortilla topped with cheese, marlin, garlic shrimp, avocado, and then spicy mayo- like on boom boom shrimp, or a sushi roll and topped with black and white sesame seeds. This was a great little fusion dish that was super tasty. We ordered way too much food because we wanted to try and we loved everything. Please do yourself a favor and stop here!!! read more

Not a clean place to sit and eat. Too many flies. The salsa bottles on the table are unclean. The coffee is not at all good. The food is not worth the prices. read more

I honestly love this little place so much. I always get carry out, but when I want street tacos with rice and beans, they are so consistent and friendly. read more

No sirven los mariscos el camarón crudo,los mariscos tienen que ser fríos y paresn caldo cuando te los sirven,los aguachiles son asidos picantes y frescos y aki les echan chile chipotle y párese que te echas una cucharada de azúcar read more

The portions for the togo are a bit small. However when you eat there they are much larger. Either way the food is really good. The person taking your order is nice and takes time to get your order right. Con: No one speaks english well so it can be hard to order your food. read more

Located on the north/east corner of Palm Dr and Dillon Road this small seafood restaurant offers a variety of food choices: sea food, burgers and traditional Mexican cuisine. Service was ok, nothing special or unique, prices $$$ for what you get. Server never checked with us after food was delivered so attention was minimal. We had chilaquilas with beef, beans, cream and try and green sauce. Over all flavor was a 6 of 10. Plenty of parking available. read more

food is amazing, probably the best in he coachella valley, very mexican and the vibe of the restaurant is just great

Every time I get a meal from here I am not disappointed. The shrimp burritos are full of flavor and cooked well. Their aguachiles are tasty as is the ceviche with extra lime (I am a sucker for sour). read more

Mariscocos #2 - Shrimp Burrito - Seafood Near Me - Desert Hot Springs, California

The food is very good here the shrimp fajitas have a signature flavor I like it very much it's kind of a sweet and spicy kind of taste unlike any you may have tasted before the only thing I would say is there does seem to be a language barrier if you're not Latin you're probably not gonna get the right order I mean it's going to be mostly right but there's gonna be some things that are off and the prices may not be what's on the menu I've been here three times so far ordered the exact same thing and it's been three different prices I suggest bringing one of your Latin friends or having them write down exactly what you want in Spanish and then show that note to the lady taking your order or the man and maybe just maybe you'll get what you ordered but remember the food is good and the people are nice but there is a language barrier read more

Don't go hear service is horrible. But the food was worse it's not like the one in coachella this one sucks the quality of their shrimp tacos is nasty. Save ur money and go to the one in coachella. read more

Nothing to look at from the outside, but you have to try this place!! The quality of the food was such a wonderful surprise. Whoever is behind this place seriously knows their flavors. The staff were all super friendly too! We loved everything and ate a ton, but highlights were definitely the governor tacos- super unique shrimp, marlin, cheese, and avocado with a smokey, rich flavor and the homemade shrimp empanadas. We enjoyed our lunch so much! read more

Came here for the Thursday Night Special $4.99 Torta or Burritos Asada Pastor Pollo We had one of each and a Pollo torta First off i have to go off on the Guac! I am a huge fan of Creamy Guac. I do not like tomatoes and onions chunks in my Guac. The Guac here is off the chain! Smooth and flavorful almost like a Mexicali Asadero Guac but w out watering it down. I will return for the Guac. If u like Creamy Guac. U must try it here. The Torta was Huge and Flavorful The Pollo burrito was also good I felt the Asada Burrito needed some flavor and the tortilla was burnt a lil But the Pastor burrito was on point We picked up to go There was plenty of salsas and condiments Minus one star for the Asada read more

I went in to get an order of tacos de papa. I was the only customer in exception for 3 people leaving. I asked the waitress if they had tacos de papa and she said yes it comes with3 rice and bean. She brought out 3 flautas with only Monterey jack cheese inside. I opened them all t9 make sure it wasn't just one. I took it to her and she says " oh you wanted potatoes?" I said ugh yes..that's what I said. She offered to.make it again and at that point I didn't want it anymore. I finished my drink and went to pay. They charged me $11 for the NOT POTATO TACOS!!!!!! The girl says it's not me charging you. WOW!! WORST PLACE EVER! read more

Food was really good ! Service was good but it felt like a bordertown bar, there was some drunk guys with very loud music yelling !

Have ate at different Mexican restaurants and over all this is just the worst place orderd 2 shrimp cocktail and ceviche tostada total was $45.00 and was not able to eat anything at all was prepared with Chile for someone who really eats Chile who does that ? Dam so called them and got some terrible service so their response we always do that I asked can I get a few tacos dice they are on sale today and was rudely told no so I spend 45 dollars on trash since it is not able to consume anything read more

We stopped here on way back to our RV from going hiking and it was amazing. We had just wanted to order a lite snack but the menu was so extensive that we ordered potato tacos and a shrimp burrito. Both were tasty and presented well. We can't wait to come back and try many more menu items. read more

Been waiting a long time now... older guy who took my order looked me up and down when i didn't speak Spanish... I'm standing here waiting to pay since I'm taking this to go and nobody is doing anything.. terrible service just looking and laughing in Spanish read more

We went there and the tacos culichi were amazing!! The green salsa OMG the best!! I'm so sad that I live in the IE and its far but every time I have a chance I will go there because the horchata aguachile and tacos were BOMB! Service was super good too! read more

Really good best prices torre la roca best tamales de elite really good I love everything

This is a wonderful family owned and run restaurant with attention to detail and quality. Special props for the empanadas (especially the queso con jalapeño), the fish tacos (fried!), the al pastor, the ceviche the guacamole. Really amazing food and gracious service. read more

If I could I would rate this restaurant ZERO stars ... the service is poor. The restaurant food is very low quality I would not recommend this restaurant at all. Same time and money and go elsewhere. First I ordered a Carne Asada burrito, quesadilla and torta. The burrito had lettuce .... who adds lettuce to a Mexican burrito I would understand for the Torta to have the lettuce but not the burrito. Is Mexican food not a wrap!!!! Second the carne asada or Meat was the cheapest they can get. Full of fat and nerves it was nasty and it barely had any. Third they only give one tiny container of salsa for each item ordered, and you have to choose if you want red or green. How I'm I supposed to decide if I've never been there, courtesy they should at least provided one of each.‍‍Then I asked for extra salsa and they charged $0.50 cents each extra little container of souce. Then the guy who took the order was not nice, inviting or courteous. Definitely they lack customer service skills along with good food. I ended up throwing away the food. Waste of time and money. McDonald's would have been better. read more

Holy guacamole this place was amazingly delicious. We were in town at a resort spa near by and we needed a michelada so we googled locations nearby and came across this place. The oyster shots were phenomenal!!!! The micheladas were ice cold and so flavorful. Prices were reasonable too. We got like 4 dishes and 3 micheladas and the tab was only 75. Seafood is hella fresh and they were very sanitary there. The manager was friendly and fast service too. The food was so good we came back the next day for more oyster shots and micheladas. Sucks they are so far from where we live. read more

This place was a 3 in food but service was the work the owner was a very unproffesional person speaking faul language to his previous employee who went to collect her unpaid wages. Made it obvious he was upset and was so rude and nasty when I told him I was overcharged. CHECK YOUR BILL BEFORE LEAVING!!!! Never had I seen such bad service by a business owner. Keep your dirty laundry home! He did have to make his business know while having customers in the restaurant. read more

I was expecting a bit more than what was given to me and my family. We order shrimp cocktail, shrimp tostada, compechana & orchata. The orchata was the only thing good from our order. I think maybe they shouldn't specialize in Mexican seafood, but restaurant was clean. read more

Love all their food--Empanadas, ceviche, and quesadillas all superb and the chicken soup with handmade tortillas is out of this world. And look for their daily specials! read more

This was recommended by a fellow RV year and the best place for fish tacos. Did not disappoint. Did not have to search for the grilled fish. Lots of veggies. An assortment of sauces to choose from. The guacamole was fresh and delicious. I hubby had the Vampira which was loaded with shrimp and tasty. Service was friendly and frequent follow up. read more

Awesome food awesome service. Don't let the curb appeal fool u. Clean and welcoming inside. Had the fish tacos and they were outstanding and came with a variety of sauces. Authentic Mexican. We are from the Midwest and were looking for a little local gem. This was it! Should be on diners, drive inns and dives. read more
