    Super disappointed and grossed out. I went threw the drive thru and got a sopa de Mariscos.. As I'm eating it I noticed a tiny hair. I take it out and move the soup around I noticed another bigger hair. And you can tell it's a man's hair! I called them to tell them and the lady who answered the phone tells me she's gonna pass me the manager, but as I'm waiting she picks up the phone again and tells me that the "Manager Manuel" which is supposedly the son of the owner. Said that there's nothing they can do since it was take out. Definitely do no recommend coming here!!

    Complimentary caldo that I ate before picture and ceviche sample.

    This is a 5 star place. Service was great! They start you off with complimentary chips, salsa, crackers, a sample of ceviche and a sample of fish Caldo. Place was very clean food was great.

    Great find! Looks like this is where the locals go, which is a good sign. Both the red and green sauce served with the chips were great! Surprised to be served soup before the entree, which was very good. I had grilled garlic fish filet. Very generous portion, very tasty. The only thing - I didn't see on the menu what sides came with the entree. It had rice, which was good, and also fries. I don't eat fries, so had I known, I would have asked for extra rice instead.

    If you love seafood GO to Mariscos Mares!! I love seafood and couldn't wait to check out this family owned business with an average Yelp 5 star status. Mariscos Mares didn't disappoint in the slightest with fresh flavors, generous portions, attentive, super friendly service and a menu in Spanish/English. Top seven highlights here is the amazing food, affordable prices, fast service, the restaurant can handle large groups, offers daily lunch specials, coupons available online and live music on Sundays. What else do you need?! The majority of the fish can be grilled or fried and then you select from 5 different styles to have your Filets prepared (try A la Diabla Style). If Whole Fish is your thing then check out the Red Snapper or Whole Tilapia. The Octopus Entrée is new for me but I'm told traditionally cooked in either Garlic Butter or Garlic and Guajillo Chili. I have trouble eating whole fish or Octopus that still looks like it was just caught so I had to pass. I was insanely craving diced and chunky Ceviche but preferred Aguachiles which is a spicy shrimp ceviche cooked in lime and chilies. Here you have 3 options of chili peppers (Red Jalapenos, Serrano Green or Habanero) for the Aguachiles. Love that!!!! Appetizer suggestions are the Shrimp or Ceviche Tostadas ($10.99/$9.99) come 3 to an order. Or go for the Shrimp, Oyster or Campechana (mixed seafood) Cocktail. The Cocktails have 3 size options, (small, medium or large) and the Medium size could easily be a meal in itself. Delightful!! Don't overlook the 4 types of Soups ($7.99 - $11.99) as an appetizer or entrée. I had a difficult decision deciding between the 3 sizes of Ceviche since I was craving (small $6.99, medium $10.99, and large $15.99). I ordered the medium but of course, my eyes were larger than my belly but excellent layers of flavors with the Shrimp, lime, onions and cilantro. I'm still thinking about the Aguachiles and wish I lived closer. I was so happy devouring as much Ceviche as possible. The Fish Soup steams your face in a marvelous fish and cilantro aroma. The large is affordable at $7.99. The broth was excellent with white flaky fish and garnished with avocado and cilantro. Highly recommend the Soups. The Fish Tacos ($7.99 for 4) were scrumptious, fresh with light and flaky Fish and perfectly cooked Shrimp. We split the order of 4 between 2 Fish and 2 Shrimp so we could sample 2 out of the 3 types of seafood available. So you ask what kind of seafood do they offer? We saw Shrimp, Oysters, Scallop Aquachile, Tilapia (Filets or Whole), Octopus, and Whole Red Snapper on the menu. The Tilapia and Red Snapper can be Fried or Grilled and you select from 5 different styles of preparation (try A la Diabla). Non-seafood folks have Beef or Chicken Fajitas or Cheeseburger options. Whether you go for a light lunch or dinner, I think you'll be glad you tried Mariscos El 7 Mares. I only wish I didn't live 1,400 miles away but on my list when I return to Mission. Go often for me.

    To start off while you wait for the food chips and different salsas

    Very nice place and the people are very kind they make sure you don't need anything. We had all shrimp food shrimp cocktails, grilled shrimp, and costrabrava shrimp. Very hearty portions and the shrimp are a very good size for a big appetite. We left fool and wearing a smile

    The restaurant is very clean with friendly staff and the music is not too loud. They have big screen TV's for your viewing pleasure and the food is not expensive good value and great tasting I was not surprised since I found out it's a mom and pops restaurant so they take care of their clientele very well. yeah highly recommend

Staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Started with the free tortilla chips and salsa. Salsa was served warm with very good flavor and a little kick to it. Ordered the Guacamole as well. Was very good with a blend of avocado, veggies and lime juice. I ordered the Buena Vida Pack, a delicious sampler. I finished every bite. My companion ordered the Governador Tacos and really enjoyed it. Total bill for two with beverage was ~$40. Be advised that they do not have alcoholic beverages. I definitely recommend.

Other than the meal, everything is served on styrofoam, utensils are plastic and cups are bad fast food plastic qualify. Con # 2: I asked the waitress if they had unsweet tea and pink packet sweetener. I asked about the pink packets 3 times and she said yes. She came back with yellow packets. I asked if they had pink packets and she said no. No to her. Con # 3: There are no free refills. I ordered two unsweet teas and the girl brought me two unsweet teas with yellow packets. So I asked for a sweet teas. They charged me for three Aqua Frescas. Charged $15. Hell no. Meh. Pass on a second visit.

    The hands-down best taco restaurant I've ever been to (including taquerias I've been to in Mexico…read moreand in Texas' biggest cities). The vampiros are so insanely delicious, I regret not filling up on them when I order anything else. Their tortillas and fajita are really good too. The restaurant itself is nothing crazy, very mom and pop, and the parking is a tough situation. Very crowded lot. Service is also not phenomenal but the food is absolutely delicious! One feature of their service I'd love for them to fix: when you order, you wait in line at a window before being seated. If you decide later you want a single extra taco, you have to go get back in line AND they take just as long as they took to bring your food originally so if you don't order something initially, it'll take so long to get it after the fact that you'll wish you just left. Customers who are already seated should be able to order with waitstaff and not wait in line again for twenty minutes. That does not make sense.

    Tried this well-known taqueria that everyone talks about, and it was good overall, but I've…read morehonestly had better. The tacos were solid -- fresh ingredients, good portions, and nice flavors -- but nothing really stood out or wowed me. I think the hype set my expectations a little too high. The service was friendly and the place is small and cozy which I appreciated. It's definitely worth trying at least once if you're in the area, but for me it wasn't quite as memorable as I expected. I'd still come back, just not rushing to.
