I rarely ever remember to leave Yelp reviews, but this restaurant was EVERYTHING. The place was super clean with such a cute aesthetic. The waitresses were so pleasant and attentive the entire time. Now let's talk about the food... 10/10. We ordered aguachiles, mango shrimp ceviche, tacos gobernador, camarones rancheros, and enchiladas. Every single dish was well seasoned, juicy, fresh, and the presentation was beautiful. Definitely worth coming back for. read more

A Hidden Gem for Fresh Seafood & Family Vibes! We visited Marisco Corona as a party of six--four adults and two toddlers (under 3)--and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Despite it being a busy spot, we were seated right away, which is a huge plus when you have little ones in tow! The Drinks & Starters We started with the Horchata and the Pineapple Water (Agua de Piña). Both were refreshing, authentic, and clearly made with care. If you like traditional Mexican drinks, these are a must-try. The Food Everything we ordered was packed with flavor and felt incredibly fresh. A standout for us was the homemade corn tortillas--you can really taste the difference! Our table shared: * Mojarra & Pescado al Mojo de Ajo: Perfectly cooked and seasoned. * Lobster Plate: Succulent and generous. * Surf & Turf Tacos: These were a highlight! Loaded with carne asada and creamy guacamole, then topped with perfectly grilled shrimp. Each plate comes with rice, beans, and a side salad, but they are super flexible--we were able to substitute fries for the rice and beans on some plates, which is great for picky eaters or just a change of pace. Service & Atmosphere The restaurant is tucked away in a shopping center, so parking was easy to find, which takes the stress out of the arrival. Even though the dining room was buzzing and busy, our waitress was incredibly nice and the entire staff was well-attended to our needs. Bottom line: If you're looking for delicious, flavorful seafood in a family-friendly environment, Marisco Corona is the place to go. We will definitely be back! read more

We were in town and I was craving a ceviche, and I'm so glad we found this place! It felt like a small authentic local restaurant but we were surprised to learn after the fact that it's listed on many guides for best Mexican food. Lucky us! We ordered two of their ceviches - one ceviche pescado and one ceviche camaron. Both were generous portions of ceviche and came with tortilla chips. Super delicious! Fresh ingredients and delicious citrus flavor. I especially loved the ceviche camaron. Reasonably priced too for the portion you get. They played fun Spanish music in here, I really loved the vibe. Casual but fun vibes. Many workers here only speak Spanish but they were able to understand our English just fine. Can't wait to come back and try more! read more

This has got to be my favorite Mariscos restaurant so far!!!!!! Everything was just a perfection with no complaints at all. I ordered the mojarra frita with fries and rice and salad (normally it's beans instead of the rice but they can always swap it for you). OMG the fish was so juicy and crispy at the same time and was so full of meat like I never had it before. It was just cooked to perfection. The service did not disappoint at all and they are literally willing to get you anything with a smile on their faces. The place itself is a little small. Can't imagine it on a busy weekend night where lots of people would dine in!!!!!!!! People would be on top of each other. But it just feels like one of the places you go in a small town in Mexico itself. I loved the place and even tho it's a bit drive from where I live. I'd definitely be visiting here over and over and over. read more

Mariscos Corona - Mojarra Frita - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Mariscos Corona is in a tiny stripmall with an equally tiny parking lot. Frequented by Latino families and Gringos doing mostly take out. Minimally decorated, but pictures of Revolucionarios, Francisco Pancho Villa (aka José Doroteo Arango Arámbula) and Emiliano Zapata as well as Cuautémoc Tlatoani, last Aztec Emperor. His courage in resisting the Spanish invasion, both during the conquest and after his capture, has made him a powerful symbol of Mexican national pride. 1) Mariscos Corona has a rare item not found in most Mexican menus: Huachinango a la Veracruzana which I had the pleasure to enjoy at the Restaurante in the Hotel Prendes in the port city of Vera Cruz on the Gulf of México. Whole red snapper, head, tail and all is lightly covered in a wheat based batter, then fried to a crisp so that even most of the bones are eaten like potato chips except head & spine. The white meat is moist, dense, but flakey with a touch of sweet, sea minerality. The frying technique was very competent with use of fresh oil so as not to leave stale flavours from other fried foods from before. The classic, associated Salsa was a light, fresh tomato sauce kissed with garlic, onions, sliced brined Spanish olives and sometimes capers. The Mariscos Corona version is battered & fried and then slathered with what seems to be heavy, thick, gooey tomato paste sautéed with slices of onions, red & green bellpeppers. Garnished with a lime to add a gastrique at one's discretion. However, Mariscos Corona did not follow the classic Salsa a la Veracruzana recipe. 1a) Very refreshing, chopped, green leaf lettuce topped with chopped tomatoes dressed with 1,000 Island dressing possibly due to concession to American influence. 1b) Dry, friable, short grain rice with bit of frozen veggie medley added for color. 1c) Frijoles de Pinto are creamy, thick with a bit of texture from other beans that are closer to smashed. Scattering of soft Queso Fresco for more richness. 1d) Three standard Tortillas de Maís 2) Excellent Salsa Fresca: Chopped fresh tomato, onion, cilantro, orégano Mexicano, pleasant acidity, earthy, garlicky with a satisfying scent of fermentation. Totopos/fried corn Tortilla chips are denser, plodding in texture. 3) Tried out the Culichi bottled Seafood Salsas from Sinaloa. a) Culichi Hot Seafood Salsa Habanero: like Worcester sauce with sweetness from a bit of brown sugar b) Culichi Negra: minty Worcestershire c) Culichi Hot Seafood salsa Chitilpin: Fermented fruit flavour with again a minty scent. In conclusion, I really couldn't taste a huge difference although a tangy, burnt sugar caramel flavour seemed prevalent. 4) Rather weak tasting Horchata made from rice, vanilla, sugar slaked my thirst on a very hot end of August late afternoon. Servers are efficient, and the younger lady was charmingly accommodating. Not exactly Huachinango a la Veracruzana, but not bad for a restaurant more leaning toward Jalisco. 4- stars read more

Food was great! I got the shrimp and oyster cocktail. Oysters didn't seem the freshest but the shrimp was really good. My girlfriend got the shrimp and mango ceviche and it was also very good! Service was friendly and very nice. The dining room is small but still has enough room for small parties. I want to come back and try more things off their menu. I was looking at everything coming out of the kitchen and it all looked delicious! read more

Mariscos Corona - Shrimp Large Coctel - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Cute little strip mall seafood spot. I read about the aguachiles and wanted to try it. A beautiful presentation and ample portion. It was tasty but not as spicy as I'm accustomed to. I'm not sure that's a bad thing. The light spice made it possible for me to enjoy the other flavors more and without drinking constant water to cool my mouth. I liked it. I also had the sea bass and garlic shrimp with a salad. The sea bass (not sure it was sea bass the way it was presented but whatever) was a little overcooked and too oily. The garlic flavoring was overcooked. I liked the shrimp but prefer no shells. The salad was ok. Overall, the meal was good. I'll return for a second try. The place was clean, staff was super friendly and it was a calm atmosphere. read more

I have always been indifferent about seafood but this place has changed my mind entirely. Seafood can be prepared in a way that excites and satisfies every taste bud. I had the mango ceviche which provided a sweet and savory taste. I also had their oysters with agua chiles which gave me a sour and salty kick - it did not taste overpowering. The ambiance is pretty and warm. The service is excellent. A lot of the staff are friendly and it's a place I'd recommend to anyone! read more

Lovely small business in Van Nuys featuring ceviche, aguachiles, and a whole lot more. I got the tostada mixta with octopus and fish. The seafood smelled and tasted fresh, was a perfect temperature, and had a nice balance of acidity and salinity on its own. The habanero salsa rounded out the flavor for me. Their friendly staff warmly greet patrons including families and workers on their lunch break. Plenty of space in their own parking lot or on the street. Very affordable price for decent quality raw seafood. read more

The food here is really good -- especially the ceviche, which was fresh and flavorful and definitely the highlight of my order. You can tell they put care into the food. That said, I was pretty disappointed with the drink pricing. I placed a to-go order and bought two Jarritos and one Coke, and was charged over $15 for just three bottled drinks. That feels excessive, especially when those same drinks typically cost a few dollars elsewhere. I understand restaurant markups, but this felt unreasonable. read more

This place was amazing. Especially the michiladas! If you want great sea food this is the place

IG/TT @eatwkris Mexican seafood in definitely slept on and Mariscos corona on victory blvd in van nuys is my favorite spot that's got you covered on all types of ceviche and a unique oyster aguachile that is so refreshing and tasty. The star dish is this giant molcajete. It comes with a whole fried red snapper, octopus, bacon wrapped shrimp, and tons of head on shrimp. It's so good on its own or wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. read more

An awesome little spot. Always clean, fresh, friendly and have an amazing service. We have been coming here regularly and it never disappoints. Our usual server, Susana, is always amazing. Today she is coming in later, so we end up with different server, Carolina, who is also, very nice, professional and caring. This is a little gem of a place. At this point, our compliments to the chief, for making our food delicious, every single time. Highly, highly recommend read more

It's been a while since I've gotten to write a good review. Honestly, I've been feeling like there's no good food left out there anymore. Maybe it's because I'm lazy and keep ordering on DoorDash, so I've been stuck in a rut with the same small variety. But this place surprised me. One night, Bear and I were super tired and in no mood to keep looking for food. I stumbled across this place and just decided to go for it. As I'm ordering on DoorDash, it says I've only got like four minutes left to finish, so I didn't even scroll around or overthink it. I just picked a couple of random things--some I've never even ordered before--and every single one of them was delicious. Thank you, God. We ordered the Huachinango Frito Quesadilla (Steak) Aguachiles Large Pineapple drink All Amazing! Will definitely come back! read more

We love their food and friendly service. Everything is delicious, but my favorite is the vegetarian burrito and my kids love the cheeseburger and fries read more

What a great lil place. On a Small corner of Sherman way and kester you'll find this place. From the outside looks small and welcoming and on the inside very clean and comfortable. It was early so I took a look at breakfast menu. I asked for the servers opinion and she recommended the breakfast burrito over my other choice. She was honest and didn't recommend the more expensive one. I was expecting your typical breakfast burrito. Kind of bland and hoping for a tasty salsa that would come with it. To my surprise, I received the complete opposite. A bigger than normal size burrito exploding with flavor. I picked chorizo for the meat and what a great choice. The potato's were cooked to perfection, soft yet firm: the eggs, cheese and chorizo melting with flavor: oh and the onions and peppers sautéd to perfection added that bit of flavor to take it over the top. It was moist with flavor and not wet from cooking oil. The tortilla tasted home made. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu and the different meats they offer in breakfast burrito. read more

I used to order from here twice a week for the past three month, but no more. I won't be spending $150 a week at a business where the staff sounds consistently annoyed when you ask for a simple change to your order. We're not asking for extras or substitutions; just for certain ingredients to be left off, which actually saves the restaurant money. A small business should value the loyal customers who help keep them afloat, not treat them like an inconvenience. Thanks to "the lady who is always in a bad mood" and her rudeness, we'll be exploring other restaurants in the area where our business will be appreciated. read more

This place hits the sweet spot in your tummy. I was craving Mexican but not just any Mexican food. I was craving good quality Mexican food. When I have a craving for high quality authentic Mexican food I know to come here. It was 15 minutes before they were closing and I was wondering if it was yo Kate to order for pickup. They said no problem and that it would be ready in 15 mins. So my husband and I hopped literally across the street to go pick it up as soon as we had orders it. We got to sit and chat for a few since we got there early and before we knew it we had our food and were walking right back across the street to eat in the comfort of our homes. The food was delicious as we already know it to be. Our favorites we ordered were the: 7 Mares dinner (7 Seafood) (YUM!!!) Shrimp Burrito dinner (My husband's favorite) Shrimp Enchiladas dinner (YUM!!!) 4 Shrimp Tacos So good every time! It doesn't hurt that the young owners are so sweet and lovable! read more

1st time checking this place out and it did not disappoint!! We got the botanas para dos, asada fries, and horchatas. Super fresh seafood and the aguachile was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Our waitress was prompt, checked on us multiple times and even boxed up our leftovers for us! The parking lot was pretty small and shared with other businesses so we had to loop around a couple times but totally worth it. Will definitely be back! read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! I live in the SouthBay and drive out to The Valley for this sea food!!! We've been here a few times now and it is consistently delicious and gives huge portions :) :) On this trip we ordered a couple of Shrimp Cocktails & Fajitas to share. First the cocktails hand so much shrimp I couldn't count them and the juice was so good I would have drunk it if I didn't have more food coming ;) The Fajitas had Shrimp, Beef & Chicken amongst the grilled veggies including a fire roasted pepper! Also on the platter was some of the best rice & beans I've ever had. Everything here tastes homemade and the ingredients are top quality, so fresh that if you close your eyes you would think you were at the beach !!! In addition to the delicious food the service is very friendly and the food comes out quickly. The only negative is the small parking lot and limited street parking, that being said we always find a spot in the lot. If I could give Mariscos Corona 10-Stars I would! read more

Very disappointing given the positive reviews. I stopped by with a friend for a late lunch and was sorely disappointed by the food and service. It's a hole in the wall so can't talk about the ambiance. Food: the salsa that was provided tastes like a jar salsa, the guacamole was fresh but flavorless - everything lacked salt. My friend's shrimp were overcooked and my tacos were below average. The pics here do not correspond with the available food in the restaurant. Service: service is kind but they first brought something I didn't order and I never received the right order. Overall very disappointing and I won't be back. read more

Food was amazingly delicious. I had the ostiones arreglados my wife had the cocktail and 2 tacos de pulpo, my kids had aguachiles and camarones con mango. Everything was delicious.

The place is small but perfect for a quick seafood treat. The place is nice and quiet oh btw know that they don't serve beer. We definitely will add this to one of our favorites. 5 stars is just right for the place. read more
