Delicious! Fresh, friendly, nice atmosphere! We really enjoyed our lunch here. From the mango ceviche made with fish to the shrimp cocktail. My husband also had shrimp ceviche and finished all of it. He's very picky about his ceviche but he loved it! We will be back when where In Town. Can't wait to try other offerings on the large menu read more

This is one of those spots that you only know about by Word of Mouth.. So If you Know, YOU KNOW! Right off of the 198 Freeway (on the same road as the Visalia Flea Market) Service has never been a problem for us, but do expect a little of a wait if tables are full. It's outdoor seating only, but a Plus is that it's very family friendly. The food is always good! I always get the Chaparrito #2, ceviche with shrimp, the portions are very generous for this one. My husband always gets Tacos el Gobernador (3 shrimps tacos) Only downside for me is that the Chaparritos are now $30 but still sooo tasty! This is definitely a treat for me Don't miss it, if you passed read more

Stopped by with the family on our way back from sequoia national park. Really neat spot to have a restaurant. It's tucked in the back parking lot. Spacious and nicely built. Service was amazing felt like home. We were greeted as we walked in and offer help with the menu. The food was on point everything about it was amazing even the flavors and presentation was great. Hands down we loved it all. Perfect amount on each item definitely coming back next time we are around town read more

Food and service are five star their food is always super tasty and packs a punch. I purchased a ceviche tray they said it'd feed 4-6 people and it ended up feeding 10+ plus of us! read more

Excellent food, Great service. Friendly staff. The food is always prepared right, taste amazing. I've been coming here for the past two years. My favorite is the Tacos Dorados. I have ordered these over 150 times in the past two years. Shrimp fries, carne asada burrito, shrimp cocktails, and all things mariscos are excellent. I highly recommend stopping by... read more

Welllllllllll I think this place just wasn't for me. I thought the cooked shrimp in the coctel had an odd texture. Of course Strathmore is far away from the ocean and i'm sure its all frozen, which I don't mind. However, this shrimp had an odd, flakey texture I didn't like. The jugo in the coctel didn't have much flavor either. It needed lemon juice and some SAZÓN. It was pretty bland. No tenía sabor para nada. The shrimp in the aguachiles had much better texture and i liked them a lot more. For me, the chile was really spicy and I couldn't really eat it. If you love spicy you'll like the aguachile. Just my opinion! I see this place has lots of good reviews and this is just my opinion! read more

Have been here twice now and both times haven't disappointed. Have ordered the seafood platter which is more than enough food for 5 people. It's a mix of ceviche, agua chiles, oyster shots and more!! They have mariachi on Sunday mornings and a Grupo in the evenings. You can bring your own alcohol so that's pretty convenient. read more

3/5 stars based purely on taste. Food was okay, nothing memorable- could use more season/flavor on the shrimp/octopus itself & Clamato. Only good thing is they do give a lot shrimp in the ceviche itself. Service was spectacular though- workers are very attentive. It's outside seating but they have a shade and clear film covering openings blocking most of wind. read more

The shrimp and fish tacos are amazing! 12/10 recommend. Very crunch and tasty. Green salsa adds a little spice.

Friendly people! Food needed a lil more salt.. but they did provide the salt packets so that helped. Overall good experience! read more

Great food, the best fish tacos around, and always polite. It would be better if they were in a different location. If they had indoor seating with air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter, it would be a big hit!! read more

I'm in town for the World Ag Show and had the opportunity to stay with my good friends the Sanchez family, so because of their hospitality I treated them to dinner...twice. This is the second night and the second dinner I took them to. This restaurant will officially open this weekend and I'm very happy to say that I was one of the fortunate few to taste the delicious food before many. As you can see from the pictures the exquisite presentation and without question some very delicious choices. There was yummy noises emanating from both sides of the table and everyone felt free to sample the dishes. The oysters were prepared on the half shell with a mix of other seafood, peppers and sauce, very tasty. I tried the nachos and thought they were fantastic. I'll have to return to Lindsay and revisit this restaurant and I hope you'll give it a shot the next time you're in the area. Enjoy. read more

I have been telling myself for awhile to stop by here and get some food. I picked the classic tostada mixta! Super delicious, texture of all the seafood was perfect. Nothing was over cooked and chewy. I definitely recommend as the plate is pretty hefty!! read more

Mariscos El Chaparrito - Mixto Tostada - Seafood Near Me - Visalia, California

If you are looking for a place to be seated inside.. This is NOT THE PLACE. It's outside seating,, AND BRING YOUR OWN BEER.. the place does not sell Beer.. Service was fast an quick, feels like everything was precook.. it's a FOOD TRUCK. I order some seviche plater with a mixture and let me TELL YOU IT WAS HORRIBLE IN TASTE.. no flavor, to plain- needed to add a lot of hot sauce, Lime and pepper. So I switch it up, cause I thought it was just me.. then order Ostiones Preparados and to my surprise it was Worse, NO FLAVOR. No sauce no flavor. So went for the Third plate, seviche cosido,, and Woa.. the same.. precook food, no flavor. Not sure why people like the place but I guess they need to experience other places. If you are a real food eater and looking for a good place.. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Called in order, picked up order was not complete, called and gentlemen on phone stated he was the one that prepped when I talked to a lady in person. Asked for a refund and was told to go thru grub hub when I ordered thru their portal. Called to fix order and nothing but attitude was met. Long time customer but that don't matter when it comes to money it seems. read more

no taste do not recommend super bland my white homie has better taste I ordered aguachiles Rojas the callo de acha has a pic of a full one they cut one up into small slices and charge you 40 bucks what a scam service Sucks asked for limes and salt they gave me limes that already have been opened for a while I usually don't do this but I have too for that much i expected something good not a rip off never again read more

Always sooo good. Plenty of seating! Food comes out quick and never disappoints. They have options for the kids.

Every time I'm in town my sister and I make a pit stop at mariscos el chaparrito. Im usually not a huge seafood fan but man their mango ceviche hits different. I was skeptical at first because there's no way there's fresh fish in the Central Valley but it's actually really good. I love that the portions are huge so I'm always able to share with someone and they are pretty generous with the mango. They all ways give a good amount of tostadas and crackers to go with the food which is always a plus. The only qualms I have about it is that they don't give enough Chile and it needs a little Lemon and it would be perfect! read more

Mariscos El Chaparrito - Ceviche Mango with fish - Seafood Near Me - Visalia, California

Raining hard. I find shelter at this patio restaurant. Im alone, so I go with the shrimp burrito. The lady was super nice. I take it to go. When I got home I opened it. Picture perfect. I dont share my food so there is no picture to show you this time. Had it been my buddys food I would have totally gotten a pic, especially if I felt I missed out. Anyways, this burrito was loaded with shrimp. The sauce that was given was more than appropriate. I felt like this particular burrito was made for me. I am definitely a long time customer. If your in the area treat yourself. The price point was also a plus. A burrito like this may cost you $20 in a big city. That's not the case here. Less than $15. Off the beaten path. read more

This place gives me ENSENADA BAJA CALIFORNIA VIBES! The fish is fresh and so are the veggies. I prefer my shrimp uncooked/raw and marinating in the lime/lemon mixture so ask to be sure of what's in the order beforehand! The prices are pretty darn good for the amount of seafood you get. The towers are so insanely massive that the to-go box WILL NOT close if you order this - don't let this scare you this only is how well portioned they are -you'll have to eat or knock down some of your tower or ask them to make it so you can close the box lol They're already so busy that I would personally do it myself. Also the hours on here are not correct they're open at LEAST 1-2 hours past the time listed here. Be prepared to wait up to an hour for this - the wait is worth it so come prepared to relax under the fans this patio has - some mention mariachi music on the weekends! Also these tostadas are super addictive! I asked if I could purchase a whole bag and they did sell it - worth the purchase for those towers! Some people complain about less taste yes they are made with a light flavor profile- if you eat there in person (which is recommended) get the salsa you like there's like 10 on a table at a time sometimes I personally like the ones with habanero or the salsa Negra or tapatio they have salt in little packets & ketchup by the register. Doctor it up to your liking and I'm sure there's a way to ask for more lemon. read more

I love this place !! The have a large selection of sea food dishes! And I love that we could bring our ice chest on any given day and drink our own beer!! I love Sunday morning they have live band and we gather to listen to music and drink some beers and have some aguachiles. The vibe is always top tier here read more

I would give this place 5 stars but it was pretty dirty getting there their was food all over the floor and the tables needed to be wiped down. Their is no waitress or anyone cleaning outside.. that must be why? But, The food definitely got 4 stars it was sooo yummy. The aguachiles tostadas are so worth it and the mojarra is topped with shrimp , topping to make tacos 10/10 definitely going back soon. read more

I always order Dr. Verde to go...the last 2 takeout has been disappointing..I paid over $30.25 for a Dr. Verde ..which is normally worth the price..but the last 2 takeouts has been looking more like a shrimp salad with no green sauce over it.. not even lemon flavor .. idk if you guys changed cooks or why the change .. but I there's has been a difference in your food :( No flavor read more

This hidden gem really surprised us! It's hidden behind a couple other businesses but you'll see their sign on the fence next to the path you drive through to get to the parking lot. Most of their options are seafood so we figured we'd try one of their popular items (mango shrimp ceviche). I had not had dorado tacos before so we thought to try that too. Both were plenty for two people. The ceviche order had SO MUCH shrimp and came with tostadas. The tacos were fried and seasoned to perfection. Next time we come or if we even drive by since it's right off the highway, we're coming for more!!! read more

My wife and I stopped by after her cousin recommended this spot to us. Let me say, it did not disappoint. Mango Ceviche, Aquachille Ceviche and tacos dorados. Each was great. Mango Ceviche packed with the sweetness of the mango balanced with some Tajin. Every bite had a ton of shrimp. The aquachille had a nice flavor with a little bit of spice which was cooled by the cucumber. Both had sliced avocados on top. The tacos dorados were fried perfectly and the salsa they serve with them complimented them wonderfully. Very tiny operation and you would almost miss it but they are definitely pumping out some great flavors! One of the best ceviche spots I have been to. Check out the pictures as it speaks for itself. read more

This is my go to place for mariscos in Visalia. I typically take food to go. Love the oysters.

Cant Wait To Head Back To Visalia And Have Some Amazing Seafood! read more
