Hello Guys today I decided to review a restuarant in tulare called mariscos costa azul. This place deserves 2 stars for plenty of reasons. This place did not have the ingredients for many of the dishes which was very unprofessional. The Price for food is very high and not worth it and the waiting time for the food was very long and not worth it. The day we went the music being played was very loud and made us not enjoy being there alot of customers left very quick due to the music being very loud. read more

One star only for the aguachile. The service is absolutely terrible. We ordered drinks with one waitress and then another came to us asking us what we wanted to drink. Not to mention when my boyfriend was ordering his drink (with the first waitress) she acted like he was speaking a foreign language. He was speaking Spanish to a Spanish speaking waitress. We ordered aguachile verde and a coctel de camaron. We get served coctel de camaron y pulpo. Not bad except for the pulpo was hard as a rock. We ordered two micheladas as well and they were 2/10 tasted watered down. The aguachile was good no complaints. (They only gave me two tostadas for a big as* portion of food) the chip's definitely needed salt and the salsa was just okay. For a Saturday night the place was pretty dead. The music was good but really really loud. read more

We stopped by for a beer on a Thursday night. Ordered two Stella's. That's all we ordered. We weren't even offered complimentary chips and salsa. The total bill was $19.56, for two beers. Couldn't believe it so asked the waitress 'is this right? $19 for two beers????'. She's yes, they're $8.99 each. Mind you, these were short beers, not talls. Unfortunately what happens when the owner price gouges the customer very often the servers get the shaft, i.e. no tip. We won't be returning, needless to say. read more

First time going there. They are really slow our waitress was really slow. People that got there after us got their food first. She was bringing everyone the wrong order. My husband asked for red rice and she gave him white rice. Then she wanted to charge extra to bring a side of rice. You only get two tortillas. I asked her if the flour tortillas where hand made she said yes and they were not. Check your receipts because they charge extra little things. The food was ok. Took them about 30 min to acknowledge us. read more

Asada tacos had no marinade, so no flavor Service was took to long on a slow Sunday Not very welcoming from the servers Good enchiladas rice and beans Bad asada tacos Oh and u don't need to order chips and salsa they will serve it to ur table and then add the $6 to ur bill lmao this restaurant is almost as sunk as the titanic read more

Tonight was my first time here and I'm so happy we decided on this place. My hunny and I were craving seafood so we took a drive to see what sounded good and with the help of Yelp! we came across this delicious find. When you drive up, you can't help but say "Oh how cute!"...or maybe that's just me....but it's attached to this sweet little plaza and it is just full of character. Love it! We walked in and were greeted by the hostess. She saw we had our 1 year old with us so she gave us a high chair and let us choose our table. Very accommodating! It's pretty big inside so they're great for groups. We ordered empanadas as an app and yes....shame on me for drinking in front of my baby "cover your eyes sweetie!"...but I had to order one of their amazing Micheladas. It was perfect. Husband had the filet of fish stuffed with seafood. It was spicy and fresh and full of flavor! I've never had octopus until today and I really liked it. Would definitely have it again! Now, at the risk of sounding fat, I'm gonna tell you what I ordered...it's not so much what I ordered but the waitress's reaction. I was the first to order and I asked for the Aztec Molcajete which has chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo, cheese and veggies. She said "Ok! Sounds good!" And closed her book up and my husband was like "And I'll have..." And she said "Oh ok, yes" but I think she thought we were gonna share haha! She obviously hasn't seen our get down because we don't go out often but when we do we always over order so we can try everything and take home food for later. I could hardly put a dent in the thing but it was amazing. I highly recommend it! I cannot wait to go back. The staff was super friendly and checked on us often. The service was really fast too! Love that! See you soon Azul! read more

Love all the different options of dishes, the atmosphere is great. The only thing I don't like is waiting time is ridiculous.

Deceiving and misleading happy hour sign outside the restaurant. I went on a Tuesday thinking I was paying 2 for 1 margaritas. Got the bill and was shocked. They were not 2 for 1. When I asked the waitress she said Thursday only. The sign clearly says Tuesday and Thursday. This is wrong and not good for business. read more

I hate to leave bad reviews, but the service was bad and food was horrible. I ordered shrimp tacos, got a corn tortilla with 6 shrimps no toppings, for 16 bucks it was depressing. I gave it 2 starts because the salsa was actually good. It's a beautiful place just wish they took more pride in food and service. read more

Came in for dinner on a Thursday and it was dead we were the only people there plus another family....they had one beer on tap available....on a Thursday? Ordered camarones al mojo de ajo and got a total of six medium sized shrimp that were over seasoned with garlic, tried taking some of it off and the shrimp were taste less...the waitresses don't bother asking you if you'd like a refill on your drink...I've been here 45 minutes and was only initially offered my first drink...tried not to choke on the over seasoned shrimp. My child asked for chicken tenders (yes it's on the menu) and they brought her chicken nuggets that were hard. Oh let's not forget she came back AFTER taking my food order to ask me what type of tortillas I wanted with my food only to not bring them at all. I can honestly say I will never come back again to eat here and I can see why no one eats here either. read more

My family went this past weekend, the worst service ever!!! One of them ordered a shrimp cocktail and they served it with no shrimp all it was the tomato juice and onions. Let's not forget the fresh water, disgusting. Way over priced for the quality of food they provide. The rice and beans were cold, only one waiter serving everyone. Worst experience ever! read more

The food here is awful. I'm not sure who makes the refried beans here but my god they must add a whole container of salt to them! I could feel my body starting to retain water after the first bite LOL seriously though, the beans are nasty. If everything else was super bland then I could see the salt in the beans making up for it but that is not the case. The chile verde does not taste fresh or traditional and when you order hard shell tacos they bring you soft. When taking my drink order I asked for a coke and the girl said they only had Pepsi but I was literally looking at a glass bottle of coke when I asked for it.... when I mentioned that she said "oh yeah" and grabbed it haha Service was lacking and food was not good. I will not be back. They are quite expensive for the quality so I would avoid this place if I were you. read more

Definitely a fun place to go with a big group or for an event. The night we were there, they were setting up what I think was a private party and it seems like the perfect place if you want to do something relaxed and well-catered! Delicious and authentic Mexican food! They have karaoke and dancing here too sometimes! We went while visiting family and had a good time. read more

This use to be one of my favorite places to eat. I was very disappointed with our dinners last night. I ordered 2 shrimp tacos and all they gave me was shrimp on tortillas and no toppings. My husband ordered the fajitas mixtas and they weren't delicious like before. They forgot to give him rice and beans with his meal until the end. The quality of their food has changed. read more

Hello, I would like to start off by saying when my spouse and I first arrived to the restaurant music was playing and it wasn't too busy and is was round 6PM when we arrived by the way, so I would assume everything would be okay to sit for the evening and have a drink and enjoy some food as I thought.... So we waiting five minutes at just to get someone's attention when first arrived to be seated, after we were seated, the waitress took out drink orders okay but took ten minutes to come back with our drink and an additional ten more minutes to bring chips and salsa when I thought that's one of the first things served at the table before drinks. My spouse orders a burrito and for myself I ordered a Molcajete, we waited and additional 40 minutes to wait for our food, REMINDER IT WAS NOT BUSY WHATSOEVER, and when my Molcajete came out IT WAS NOT HOT, IT WAS NOT WARM, IT WAS COLD ASF!!! And waited and additional 10 minutes for my spouses burrito which came out a bit cold also, she only ate a quarter of the burrito and had to take it to go, and unfortunately for myself where I don't eat until my spouse also receives her food just like any other couple would wait to eat with them, so I just also packed it up to got and just finished my beer and we left honestly worst customer service I've had in a while, hands down I cannot make this up smh. read more

The food is good but the underage serve who admit she is under 21 is drinking on the job and is very rude and probably high. If you go there don't have the new serve named Carmen serve you. Overall bad serve from her. read more

This place has everything: sticky furniture, flies frolicking on your haphazardly presented food, a nightmarish hellscape of umpteen tvs tuned to fox news, miserable servers, a plethora of putrid odors and that thing where you smile and try and pretend this isn't the absolute worst restaurant you've ever been to while secretly yearning to get home as quickly as possible and take a very hot shower and hope against all odds that you don't wake up sick in the night like that time you unwittingly had bathtub potato salad at a wedding reception. The most exhilarating part is when you finally leave and walk out into the relatively fresh air (guaranteed)....never to return read more

Very poor food and device, had cheese enchiladas, so cold cheese was not melted, told water, he checked in back and we were told that's the way they serve them. We could not eat them but were charged more than the price on menu, we paid and left, very expensive for one Diet Pepsi We won't ever return!!! read more

Overpriced, food & drinks. Food was not good at all, not worth coming back at all. Cool environment read more

WORSE place to dine in got charged $43 for a bucket of 6 beers when the menu clearly says $27 I will never ever go there again just a heads up for anyone who orders beer they make up there own prices on the food as well!!!! Cubeta means bucket in English read more

Worst worst worst!! Do not eat at this restaurant. Had worst food, worst service...and the owner Dora is the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered with. Over charges in our receipt so pay attention to ur charges.... If I could give this restaurant a zero star, I would. .. read more

Bland food, weak margaritas, loud band, and it's questionable how much English the waitress knew because I asked for no cheese in my burrito and I was served a burrito that contained 90% rice and cheese. Overpriced for the quality of food you get. My boyfriend's wet chile verde burrito left him with an upset stomach. Not going back. read more

Great service, delicious seafood , and authentic interiors. One of my favorite places to visit when I'm in my home town! Also, they are very generous with their serving sizes. Highly recommend for mariscos and micheladas! read more

My fish was drenched in minced garlic, no other my kids ordered garlic shrimp and it was the same thing 6 shrimp with a ton of canned minced garlic. Chicken strips are actually nuggets. Disappointing... read more

Outrageous! The food and service were decent but the behavior they allow is mind boggling. As we were exiting we encounter a woman who had been over served alcohol and then kicked out while her company (driver) was allowed to stay. We called the woman an Uber as she was clearly unable to find her way after being served an absurd amount of alcohol to the point where she was kicked out for vomiting in the restroom. Admittedly, this isn't their fault but if they're going to kick her out they should kick the group out. Instead the men who were also intoxicated with her were allowed to stay. As we waited for her Uber, I went inside to request a plastic bag in case she was sick again. While I waited to catch the bartenders attention, the male the sick woman was originally with attempted to fight me! As I stood and patiently waited to ask for a bag, not having spoken a single word to him he asked who I was and what I wanted with an obscene amount of cussing and threats. He told me he'd kill me amongst other things that the bartender ignored. All the while I calmly explained to him I was just waiting for a bag. The bartender EVENTUALLY asked me what I wanted, in a hostile manner, I told her a bag and she said "for what?! What do you want a bag for?!" And I told her "there's a woman outside who was here earlier and is feeling sick, so I just want a bag to give her." She aggressively told me "she has her bag! She took it with her!" After I explained I wanted a bag for her in case she felt ill again, the bartender told me they were out of bags and she couldn't help me. I accepted that and started to walk out when our server (who was polite all along) asked what I needed and I explained it to her and she said she'd get the bag and was back with one within under a minute. What a terrible way to manage an establishment. You'll take a persons money and then treat them like garbage. I would never return to such a place. read more

Great little spot! The molcajete was amazing. Spicy and delicious. Definitely enough to share. I took so much home that it didn't look like I had even touched it. I couldn't wait to eat the left overs the next day. Top it off with one of their delicious micheladas and you can't go wrong. Our server was very friendly and service was fast. We will be back. read more

The food was delicious! However the restaurant was soooo hot inside. I couldn't even really enjoy my food because of the heat. I'm not sure if the ac broke or what the deal was but that was definitely a buzz kill. I felt the servers took forever to take our orders. They were very friendly minus the wait. It wasn't super busy from what I could see but then again idk what goes on behind closed doors. I wouldn't mind going there again if it's not so hot again. Maybe I'll wait til the winter before I go back. read more

Nothing wrong with this place, I just wasn't amazed at the plates they had. The waiter was super nice, I got the fluatas de carne desebrada, they were good but honestly I can make them better at home, they don't have consome for any plate which really sucked. I'm probably going to stick to El Cosatleco. read more

If I could give a 0 rating I would but obviously I can't. This restaurant is literally TRASH. The management sucks ass. I've been waiting for more than 30 minutes to get my problem resolved and nothing has happened. I got two plates that were salty as HECK and they didn't want to remove the those entrees. My sister and I even feel really sick with a minor stomach ache and also nausea. They even said that they'd call the cops if we decided not to pay for those 2 entrees ourselves. I really don't understand how people can be this non-understanding. I thought a good business meant that the customer was always right but I guess they go by different rules. After waiting they resolved it we were asked TO NEVER COME BACK ? Which is fine by me didn't plan to anyways but honestly I believe a business should react 1000x's better than this. VERY VERY VERRRYYYY DISAPPOINTING. read more

I use to enjoy coming here , but recently it has gone very downhill. Me and my husband came here to eat dinner about a week ago . He ordered a Chile Relleno plate and I got a fried fish . Just the fish no rice or beans . His food was so greasy the Chile relleno was sitting in a pool of oil. He could not even eat it . My fish was super soggy and tasted horrible. No flavor . We both only took about one to two bites each off of our plates and couldn't eat anymore . It was disgusting. The chips and salsa were also gross. Both salsas they brought to use did not taste good at all. How do you go wrong with salsa ? Anyways we told them we couldn't even eat the food because it was not good and they just gave us our bill. No offer to refund or at least a discount. We barley even touched the food but still had to pay $50 on food that was disgusting and inedible. Not to mention we didn't have much money and that was our only money we had to treat ourselves. And we left hungry and disappointed. I will not be returning ever again . The last few times I went the food was not good either but I wanted to give it one last shot . That was it for me . read more

Does anybody know a phone number i can call to contact the restaurant? I left something there today and would like to call amazing food and service btw. read more

I really loved it!! The food was great. Big portions. Our sever was very nice and attentive. We had our 11 month old with us and he made a mess with the rice, we asked for a broom to clean and she said it's not problem, she would do it. I felt really bad but we left her a good tip. The drink wasn't strong enough and she gave me a double shot, shut me up lol. Her service was excellent!! They have chips and salsa. The food didn't take long to be served. Very delicious. The rice, beans and salad dressing was amazing!! I will definitely be back. Family friendly for sure. read more

I do not recommend Mariscos Costa Azul in Tulare. The customer service was terrible, the food took forever to be served and it was pretty pricy. My family and I went after a graduation, there was about 20 of us. Which is a lot but the waitress was rude and half of our food was cold. I do not recommend going unless you want to get bad customer service, cold food, and pay extra because they automatically add a tip to the bill. read more
