The cucaracha-style shrimp are my absolute favorite! The salsa that comes with them is delicious and full of flavor. I've been coming here for eight years, and I've never been disappointed with the food or service. Highly recommended! read more

I'm not sure what's going on with the kitchen but lately the food hasn't been good. Today I ordered the tosti agua chiles. It took them about 25 mins to make. To top it off it lacked flavor. The service is usually solid except for one of the girls. She tends to forget things. read more

Got in. Got a table quick. Server was nice. A toda madrrre. The food was good. Everyone loved the food. I got tostadas de ceviche de camarón. And they were packed. Piled high. May wife got agua chiles. She liked them. I'm not a fan. I don't like the feeling of raw shrimp. My daughter got taco's governador. She enjoyed them. My son got shrimp tacos. He said yes we're just ok. The good to price ratio for the quality was Amazing. The space is tight. Too small. The music was way too loud for a tiny place. The band could probably play without speakers and would sound better. But if come back to the SD and didn't have to wake up early I would stay, order some buckets of beer. And pull the band over. I'll be back some time. read more

I've been here about 5 times now. I've had the shrimp roll tacos, and spicy shrimp taco. Both are delicious. Service is fast. I haven't had to wait more than 10-15 minutes. I never get the same girl taking my order, but they are all the same - very nice, welcoming & smiling. Shrimp roll tacos are topped with lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, cheese. Picture doesn't do it justice. read more

Mariscos Altata - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

This place reminds me of Ensenada,Mexico south of the border. The seafood is super fresh and the staff (girls) are all fast, nice and very polite. I love coming here, specially Tuesday for ta os Tuesday. Come out an support our local restaurant. read more

Food was horrible. Ordered a ceviche tostada and was served a tostada with just filler (de pico de gallo) . The taco de gobernador tasted like it was seasoned with taco seasoning from McCormick's, hardly no cheese and tasted like fajitas . The girls never asked if we needed anything, no napkins, refresh on our beverages and then hovered over us when time to pay the bill. You can tell they cater to construction guys that come here to drink because the food is definitely not good. One and done for us . read more

Food was surprisingly good. Service was good as well, our server was very helpful. They have IPAS, el Valiente I highly recommend that IPA . However the restroom was disgusting , they only have a share restroom for man and woman and smelled bad in there, toilet paper all over the place, urine all over the floor need to be more cleaned with your restroom. read more

I placed a phone order today at 1pm for 5 shrimp rolled tacos and 5 marlin rolled tacos with sour cream on the side. I arrived at 1:25 and the order was still being prepared. I go outside to my car to wait. Come back in 15 minutes later and my order still isn't ready. I stand at the counter another 10 minutes and get my order. I asked if the sour cream was on the side and was told yet. I get in my car and check my order and the shrimp rolled tacos have sour cream on them. I return inside and they offer to remake them by removing all toppings and dropping in the oil to re-fry and add new toppings as this would be the quickest way. I should have just asked for a refund at this moment. When I arrive home and start playing my food the guacamole on both orders is BLACK. I couldn't see this when I checked my order because the toppings were covering it. I spent $39 on the two orders of rolled tacos, one chicharron taco plus rice and beans. I won't spend my money here again. read more

Mariscos Altata - Marlin rolled tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Food is above average. That's the good thing. The bad thing is they're bait-and-switch tactics. Case In point, their own website states that their shrimp burrito is $9.99. When in actuality, it's $16.99. I found this out when I looked at the cash register screen and it said $16.99 VS $9.99. I then pointed this out to the cashier. And she stated that they recently changed the prices and she pointed at the in restaurant menu. I then. Said well, I hope it's a good burrito and she said oh, it is so I go back to work and start eating it. And then I note that the shrimp was actually breaded and not just shrimp. And I can taste that the oil that the shrimp was fried in was stale, as the shrimp had a mild bitterness. Me and some of my coworkers had gone there a few times before. And I always ordered the Marlin tacos which are good. Now, with that said, I made the mistake of going there on Sunday, they had a live band and the music was so insanely loud. I had to practically kiss the order taker so she could hear me. And it was really not a good experience. As I brought my girlfriend there and we couldn't even talk to each other. We had to text each other and we were sitting right across from each other. But she was a good sport about it and even requested a song, until she found out the price for that was going to be $20. So with that said, there are many other places out there, better than this one. And without the bait-and-switch pricing tactics. read more

Mariscos Altata - Can't even call that a taco - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

What a fun spot to eat at! Reminds me of my Mexico trip where there's families and a place where men just hangout with their beers and mariscos. The seafood is good, ordered the aguaschiles and a corona. Took a pit stop here randomly and am glad I did. Mexican music playing with chips and salsa hits different here on a weekend. The staff is very attentive and nice! read more

This place can be so fire depending on what you get! My daughter always gets carne asada fries. Always a great choice. Fish tacos are always fresh, I would just say the sauce inside is a little bland. Rolled tacos are good but the fish one has an off taste to it. Oysters are always fresh and cleaned well! Cannot go wrong with to ceviche. The servers are all really on it! Making sure we are good, helping with suggestions, and give off really good energy! We've been here a handful of times. Hoping to try more of their seafood! The vibe sometimes has a live band! Super loud. I would call ahead if you're not a fan because they come most weeks. For me, it was giving Mexicooooo so we loved it! There are sports TV and lots of hot sauce options on the table which is heaven to me! Not to mention complimentary chips & salsa for dine in! read more

Customer Service fast and responsive Parking plenty of onsite free parking shared with the Licord store Location off market and close to 805 fe 4297 Market St San Diego, CA 92102 United States Ambience comfortable for adult friendly (drinks) Food Delicious During lent I ordered thru Uber eats fish tacos and campechana (shrimp in tomato sauce, onions, cucumber) it was filled up with shrimp. It's now after lent and ℹ remember how I enjoyed this food. My husband and I googled this place and decided to give them a chance. From outside we almost missed it because of the location. It doesn't look appealing because it's next to a licord store. The colors of the restaurant aren't attractive. Please don't be fooled the food is delicious. We came in and nothing from the outside the inside is good. I appreciate good food and ambiance. It's Hispanic and the music box mix music and performers come in from time to time. They have all kinds of Alcohol drinks . It's my new go to place for sea food! Hope this information helps anyone looking for good delicious sea food plates. read more

I ordered delivery service today via Grub Hub for myself, my son in law and my daughter. We each had a large delicious shrimp cocktail from this location. To be honest, it has to be one of the best I've ever had. It was jam packed with shrimp and avocado, I know avocados are not easy to come by right now but it was plentiful. The seasoning and citrus combination was on point. So was the balance of cilantro and onions with the shrimp, less cilantro and onions is good, they sure made the shrimp stand out like that. I usually prefer my shrimp cocktails with cucumbers which this one didn't have but that's ok, it was still absolutely fresh and delicious. They provided napkins, crackers, limes and utensils. Service was prompt and all our shrimp cocktails were packaged well and arrived nice and neat. I will most definitely order from here again, I would love to try the aguachile ceviche, yummy! Thank you so much! read more

Poor quality seafood. Prior to sitting down , i asked the staff if the shrimp in the cocktails are cleaned/devained , they said yes. When i received the order , it was the opposite , uncleaned shrimp with the vien still inside. To top it off , the server did not even check up on us a single time to ask how everything was. I will avoid coming here again. read more

Small little spot, they have great service, attended us right away. We stopped on the way home from San Diego, and we were hoping for a quick bite. It was pretty flavorful, I REALLY enjoyed my fish and shrimp taco. My husband ordered the same and a tostada. It's about $10, but they pack on the seafood, and it had a great lemony taste. I recommend this place because it's not too far off the freeway and it was fast and delicious. read more

It's a regular spot for my coworkers and me. Food is amazing. Yup. Amazing. Think about it this way... we live in San Diego where there's a Mexican Food Restaurant on every corner; but THIS PLACE gets us as "regulars". It's just that good! And yes, I work throughout San Diego County... this place ranks in my "Top 5". PERIOD. Parking can be difficult sometimes, but worth it. Staff is friendly and kind. Portions are worth far more than they charge. We're Construction guys, with large appetites, so that says something! PLEASE make certain to tip, BTW. They recently changed their card-charge system, so doing individual bills is harder, they frown on it. Bring some cash just in case your coworkers are stingy tippers, lol! Every time I come here? I order something different. I've NEVER been disappointed. This place is a "locals know" hidden gem! read more

This was my first time here. It was not bad, but also nothing to rave about. I had 2 fish tacos and one shrimp. The fish tacos were good. The fish not over cooked. So it had a soft bite to them. The shrimp was also ok. But they do not clean the shrimps back side out. So I wouldn't have those again. My wife had the Grilled Fish. Good presentation, but taste was off. The fish was salty. Every bite had to have beans with it. To cut the salty taste. The service was good. It was around brunch time. So the restaurant was not packed. The music is a little loud. But it also adds to the vibe there. You feel more like your in a cantina then a restaurant. It seems like a great social place at night. Also the music is a pay to play. So you can choose what you want playing. I might give it another chance in the future. Since they have a large amount of dishes to choose from. read more

Placed an order through DoorDash. Drink was missing, California burrito was only cheese, fries and meat and VERY SALTY. Where is the guacamole and pico that's supposed to come with it? I knew it didn't come with sour cream so I added it, they gave it to me on the side. Fish tacos smelled like perfume and had an odd taste to it. Overall upset stomach and terrible food. read more

I used to love coming her but our server tried to be slick by covering the "8+ people" for giving her self an automatic 20% gratuity.

Pretty busy on a Sunday. Delicious Tostada Loca. I loved how they add the newspaper sheet to make it look extra. First time trying this Mariscos restaurant but We definitely had great service and a good time. We had a fly flying around so that would be the only reason I rate it a 4. Other than that, everything was great. read more

I got their carne asada fries the meat was Adobada but I didnt mind it was still delicious the only thing that quite upset me was the lack of sour cream I paid an extra dollar for extra sour cream and was fairly disappointed when I sad that their "extra" was an average amount overall 6/10 besides the sour cream step up the game thats all I have to say everything else was amazinf and I wouldn't say the meat replacement was considered disappointing but please next time something pays extra for some sour cream really get in there with it this sour cream stuff aint no joke lol. read more

This is the second time I've been here, since I raved high the first time I decided to come back again. Service today was horrible. Had to wait 15 minutes for a soda and water. Waitress brought a tray of chips, I asked for salsa she said they were out. This was at 12:00pm lunch time. I ordered a Corona chelada took an extra 12 mins to get it. I ordered a shrimp cocktail and shrimp ceviche tostada. My wife ordered governador taco and spicy shrimp taco. It took exactly 58 minutes for our food to arrive. I'm not sure if this establishment believes in trays, because waitress was bringing items one at time and pulling out saltiness out of her apron. Not to mention, instead of Corona my beer swapped for Modelo without them letting me know. I also ordered more chips, which never arrived. 18 dollars for a 13oz large cocktail is not worth it. Governador taco was m ade hastily! read more

Mariscos Altata - Taco Governador - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Came here on a Friday night, it honestly looks a little rough but it's soooo not! The food was amazing and I loved the live music, the vibe, everything! It's kinda small so you sit close to other people but honestly, that was one of the best parts - you make friends! Everyone is super friendly and the staff is also really nice and food came out quick. I had a fish taco, octopus ceviche, aguachiles and some fried shrimp (eat it with the shell!) - everything was excellent. No complaints. Only issue is parking, there's only a couple spots in the front and the rest is street parking on a narrow street. read more

The place is a little hole in the wall next to a liquor store. You can park on the street or in front of the restaurant, which is pretty convenient. We went on a pretty slow day, so we were seated promptly and didn't have to wait for our server or food. Food wise the flavors are there and the seafood is fresh. As far as prices go, it can be a bit on the expensive side, but some dishes are big enough to share. They have happy hour on certain days and prices do vary depending on the day you go. When I ate there the happy hour was 2 fish tacos for $1.50, which isn't bad, the only downside I would say is that the fish itself is just a small thin piece and the taco is overpacked with veggies. The micheladas were pretty delicious though. read more

el servicio fue muy pobre.

4 stars for the food! Customer service is almost non existent though! Unless your a single bunch of guys coming in then the waitresses will bend over backwards (literally) for you! Outstanding prices, food is fresh & delicious! My only gripe is the waitress that was taking our order she didn't know what their happy hour specials were she had to go ask 3 times! I don't know if she was new or just plan clueless?! But she was upbeat & friendly if that counts for anything lol!? So I just got up & went outside to look at their sign lol! My other gripe with her is she never checked up on us to see if everything is fine (mind you she does speak English). Everything came out except for our fish tacos! Meanwhile our waitress is dancing around the restaurant & behind the counter. I look around & it's nothing but a sausage fest in here & the 2 waitresses are very attentive to these dudes! So I waved her down to ask about our fish tacos.... Seems like she forgot so she apologized. We had initially ordered 4, 30 minutes later only 2 came out. We just polished off the 2 fish tacos, paid & was on our way. P.s. There is a live band that comes here. If you want to keep your hearing I suggest come right at 3 for their happy hour stay for like an hour or so.... Restaurant is small music is LOUD!!!!!! read more

Mariscos Altata - Fish tacos, Pulpo tostada, agua chile tostada & oysters! Wednesday's & Thursdays .50ct fish tacos! - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

The food is okay. Had to add ingredients to make it a little better. But what is very disappointing is the amount of shrimp they put in their aguachile. I paid $22 dollars for an order of aguachile and was very upset upon receiving my order. There was probably at the most 12 shrimp inside the whole tray. There's so much cucumber that it just makes the food look sad. I didn't order cucumber I ordered aguachile. I won't be ordering this again. Much rather pay $4 for a pound of shrimp and make it myself. The shrimp even taste and looks refrigerated. I don't know how long they've had this in stock but very disappointed. read more

The fish tacos are absolutely delicious! Very fresh & a decent size. We had the shrimp rolled tacos & mar y Tierra (it was supposed to be a burrito but we ended up receiving a quesadilla) it was tasty & carne asada fries.

Came here a couple times for lunch, when working in the area I like to come get to enjoy the 99c fish tacos and street tacos (Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday) From the outside you may not want to come in but the inside is very welcoming and with the smiles from the servers. Great atmosphere, tacos are awesome ... haven't tried anything else. TVs for entertainment and juke box for music. read more
