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.

Red and green sauce

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.

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

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

A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Food and service are good. Never order the whole red snapper though. A small fish was $65!!!! Yes,…read more$65! It's a rio off! I always go to Istioneria Michoacana on Dive and 10th and the whole red snapper is like $38, and the special, with six delicious grilled shrimp is like $42. Really, never going back to La Costa. Have never paid $65 for a small fish! Don't go there, go to Ostioneria Michoacana. I was so mad but it was my fault for not asking the price before ordering. I still think it's a ripoff!
