    Ceviche de Camaron

    live music, amazing seafood, and generous portions -- all in an outdoor seating. the mixed seafood platter was perfect minus the crab legs. the menu was a pamphlet. lots of options! bring friends and good vibes. you'll have a great dinner night.

    I came here one Friday evening for dinner. Wow, this place has a great atmosphere, food and drinks. There was even live music. We ordered two items to share for 3 people which was more than enough. Ordered the Molcajete Costa Alegre and Vasiloco Mixto. The Molcajete Costa Alegre is a seafood mix of different types of shrimp, crab legs, octopus, bass fish filet, green mussels, in a chipotle cream sauce with nopal, cilantro, and fried jalapeno. It was served with fresh flour tortillas. The cream sauce went very well with the tortillas, had some nuttiness in it which was good. Good amount of seafood as well. Would definitely get again. Extra tortillas cost $1 each. Vasiloco mixto is a shrimp, fish, octopus, mexican scallops with a black aguachile sauce, avocado and tostadas on the side. Good variety of seafood. The food was delicious, will definitely come back.

    Came in on a Saturday and boy.. this place was packed! I can definitely see why. Everyone was watching the game so it was a vibe to say the least. Service was quick and attentive. I got the crispy shrimp tacos, a michelada, and a mixed drink and it really hit the spot . Tacos were flavorful and just the right amount of crisp Worth the hype for sure. I honestly didn't want to leave, but I could see there was a line and lots people waiting for tables, so I didn't want to be greedy and take up a seat any longer than I needed to. If you're looking for good food, drinks, and a fun atmosphere, definitely give Mariscos Costa Alegre a try!

    Food was great! Legit spot for good Mexican food. Cristian provided extremely pleasant service. The vibes are immaculate! Even on a Monday night. Will definitely come here again and the other locations.

    First time at this Mariscos spot and I'm so glad that we stopped! Oh my God, the menu is so extensive but everything looks so good. I wanted to try everything we went at the right time for lunch. My daughter-in-law ordered the dungeon crab a lot of crab. She brought some home. I ordered the pulpo a la Diabla. Everything was so delicious. I brought mine home too. I had a shot of Mezcal we ordered the mango Caliente drink service was excellent. They didn't hover but they were there attentive. I love the outdoor seating. They have a huge screen TV out there music it wasn't too loud. The ambience was perfect not too noisy. Everyone was enjoying their food and having a good time that's what it's all about. We'll definitely go back. I want to take my husband if you're into seafood, you have to try this place

    Wow. Order it, eat it, an shut up

    Seriously - 1100+ reviews at a 4.6 *!!!! How can u go wrong. I'm here on Wednesday June 24th. Oh god soccer in San Jose !!!!! This place is really cool. Outdoor seating = great Valentina is my server = beautiful, kind, and very helpful. I ordered the ceviche Mixto on her recommendation!!! Some of the best CEVICHE that I've ever had. Did I say there's soccer here in San Jose?!?!?! Anyways, all of the staff go out of their way to be sure that you're taken care of and happy. Food is fresh and fantastico. This is the epitome of THE neighborhood / local hangout!! I love it and will be back on ALL my SJ trips. Parking is a little tight.

    We finally were able to dine at this fine Mexican seafood restaurant,having tried two previous times only to find it crowded with no parking in the area. Spent my Birthday here on a Wednesday and loved every moment. A big outdoor seating area as well as some indoor seating. The parking lot is very small but plenty of street parking. A wide variety of seafood dishes as well as some traditional Mexican dishes. Service is great and the food is delicious. I had the Caldo de pescado(Bass fish soup and it was delicious. The caldo(broth)was spicy but not overbearing. The fish seemed to melt in my mouth like butter. Glad we were finally able to get in.

    This place is a charm in Luna park. The owners, management and staff are amazing. They always find a way to cheer you up. I heard that they have multiple locations throughout the South Bay. This place is very special to me. It keeps me going, it keeps me motivated and it keeps me grounded in true American dream. The food is amazing, the service attentive and everyone enjoys working here. I wish utter restaurant follow the philosophy and purpose. The core values and straight and simple; fresh simple and delicious! Thanks Dona Betty and staff. You cheered my day. You keep me motivated.

    Came in with a group of 10 and Orlando our server was very accommodating to our needs, we had 2 people in wheelchair and others with disabilities. Orlando was great and made us all feel welcomed. The food was also amazing will definitely be coming back to try other foods from their big menu.

    Ceviche
    Alana S.

    I visited on a Saturday night, and the place was absolutely buzzing. It's a large restaurant, and it was packed--there was a DJ, karaoke, and sports playing on big screens, which made for a really fun, energetic atmosphere. Despite the crowd, we were seated quickly. We ordered the ceviche, tacos de marlin, and a burrito, and everything was fantastic. They also brought out a complimentary soup at the start, which was a great touch and really delicious. The menu is huge, and honestly, it was tough to decide because so many things sounded good. The only downside was that they seemed a bit understaffed, so getting a server's attention took some patience at times. That said, it wasn't enough to take away from the overall experience. Amazing food, lively vibe, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more.

    outdoor/indoor open-air Mexican spot with a huge menu, almost too many options to choose from. we ended up trying the beer battered fish taco, grilled fish taco, birria taco, plus chips and guac to start. overall, everything was pretty good. flavors felt a little different from the tacos you typically get elsewhere, which made it interesting without being overly adventurous. one thing I wasn't expecting: they serve a complimentary seafood soup when you're seated. nice little touch before the meal. the vibe was super lively too. there were so many birthday celebrations happening throughout the evening that it felt like a party every few minutes. definitely a fun, energetic spot if you're looking for good food and a happening atmosphere!

    I didn't get to take a picture of anything else besides my own plate, La Morenita so so delicious!!
    Susy D.

    Everything my family and I have had here has been excellent! We have to order the Camarones Doña Cuca for the table every time...they're sooo yummy and have the perfect amount of kick!! I ordered La Morenita, their Mexican scallop ceviche, it was the best choice!! The scallops were incredibly fresh and perfectly tender...nothing overly chewy We always look forward to coming back!!

    Allison S.

    If you're going purely for the food, it's worth checking out. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our server only came around to take our order and didn't check in after that. It was slow and pretty inattentive. We had to flag someone down when we needed anything. No one ever came around when we were finished so I ended up walking up to the front to pay with the bartender by the front door. I'd still come back for the seafood, but I hope they can improve the service to match how good the food is.

I also had the salmon belly nigiri which was a two piece dish. The salmon was seared to perfection and deliciously rich. Ambiance is on the casual side.

Everything we've had has been incredibly fresh, and we love that they serve real wasabi--it really elevates the experience. Our must-orders are the otoro nigiri, salmon miso fusion nigiri (our absolute favorite!), mango crunch roll, amaebi with the fried shrimp head, and the uni nigiri. The salmon miso fusion nigiri completely blew us away. Everyone at the table was awestruck after the first bite. And the uni deserves a special mention. We've had uni nigiri at plenty of other sushi restaurants where it's been just okay, but the uni here was an absolute showstopper: fresh, creamy, sweet, and without any unpleasant aftertaste. The quality of the fish, attention to detail, and consistency have been outstanding every visit. We can't believe we waited so long to try this place, and we'll definitely be coming back again and again!

Spicy tuna roll 2. Spider roll 3. Rainbow roll 4. Tiger roll 5. Miso soup 6. Seaweed salad We also ordered Asahi beer and hot sake. The food was very good and we gave a solid 10/10 (the ratio of rice to filling was well balanced), the hot sake was smooth, and the beer was very cold. Everything was priced well compared to other sushi restaurants. Most rolls we ordered ranged from $6.95 to $13. Staff were very nice and attentive. The restaurant was clean and quiet. Two things I want to highlight:: (1) the restaurant closes at 9pm, and stops serving new clients at 8:45pm. Keep this in mind if you arrive past 8pm and (2) the receipt calculated the recommended tip based on total amount (including taxes) but tip should be calculated before taxes. Either way, we greatly enjoyed our first time experience and we will be back again.
