Food is not what it used to be ! This was my place to go anytime I wanted "platillo de langostinos" they WERE amazing. I went last night to celebrate a birthday and let me say I was DISAPPOINTED ASF! they just tossed the crawfish in chipotle sauce. The most disgusting thing I ever had and for $30 smh explains why I always see this place empty now. My husband then ordered a plate of mixed spicy seafood. It was also tossed in the same sauce. DO NOT GO read more

I would give it zero stars if I could do NOT come this place. Service is HORRIBLE. Food was so awful. please do not come.

My girlfriends and I went here on Friday and we ordered the garlic shrimp. It was good, however it was definitely over salted. If they cut back just a little on the salt, it would have been perfect. Overall, fair prices, good portions, and excellent service. I would recommend this place if you are craving some Mexican seafood. read more

Mariscos El Huichol - Garlic shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

I'm a Joliet native + I absolutely love mariscos & come to El Huichol whenever I get the chance. I ordered the Langostinos platter + the flavor is Nayarit style. The portions are BIG so be prepared to eat!! The pricing is fair for the amount of food they give you. The restaurant can get crowded on the weekends. They give you complimentary ceviche upon arrival :) read more

Mariscos El Huichol - a plate of food - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

This place used to be good but now it's an absolute joke and overpriced. My husband and I ordered a "large" shrimp cocktail each and were so shocked at how small it was. It came in a small 16oz container. We expected more for the price we paid. Not to mention their ceviche has no fish or shrimp, it's all onion and cucumbers. Such a ripoff. Never going back!! read more

Mariscos El Huichol - "Large" size shrimp cocktail - Mexican Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

10 stars for their food but -10 on the safety of their customers. Best Mariscos in town, been going here for years! but if your going to eat in you might want to think about it before you do, specially if you are covid concerned. Customers and even some servers walk around without masks. The restaurant owners even let their customers come in without mask. There is no social distancing at their tables and their cleanliness is not on point. They just wipe the tables with fabuloso (floor cleaner) and sometimes the chairs. Definitely not sanitary!! This place is worth the wait but, not worth catching Covid! Next time I'll be ordering out from this place! read more

I like to go here for the fish tacos. I think they are the best in the area. The portions are huge! I see a few things on the menu that I want to try but I could never eat that much. When you dine in you get complimentary ceviche and that too is probably the best in the area. Newly remodeled inside so don't let the outside fool you lol. read more

Great place for MARGARITAS!!! Went out with my girlfriends to celebrate my Bestfriend's birthday and our server Jairo (my apologies if it's spelled incorrectly) was awesome! He suggested the empanadas de camarón con queso & that's the first time someone asked if we want them with cheese. They were delicious & can't forget the margaritas were just amazing as well! Will definitely come back again read more

This restaurant is not good. The service is ok the waitress came quickly to take the order and brought out the food quickly. We (party of 3 adults and 1 child) ordered the Botana Mariscos Grande (shrimp, muscles, crab legs, fake crab, fish fillet, and small pieces of octopus). The seafood tasted frozen not fresh. The salsa was not salsa but soup and very bland. We also ordered horchatas and micheladas and the horchata was not made from scratch for the price it was and the michelada did not taste that it had any beer and was way too spicy did not taste like tomato and clam juice or anything but spicy. They also charged us 18% gratuity on our bill BEFORE taxes. We did not appreciate that at all it could have been after tax but having us pay taxes on tip is ridiculous. I will not be returning the food was awful I should have cooked at home or gotten some tacos somewhere else. I took the seafood home and rinsed it off very well at home and recooked it in a sauce of my own and it was 100 times better. Save your money if you go here you're going to be ripped off and hungry. read more

This place is absolutely delicious!!! I'm from Miami and don't think I have ever encountered a place this delicious for seafood!! The price is excellent and the staff is great. Definitely come here for great seafood. read more

WOW A hidden GEM!! We found out about this place through a friend. I am Mexican with very high expectations when it comes to Mexican food. This place is definitely very authentic Mexican seafood. It's SO GOOD! Ok, for starters they give you complimentary tostadas with ceviche and very spicy salsa. For me, this was already a great indication that the food was going to be amazing. In my opinion if the salsa is spicy at a restaurant it's the real deal! Secondly, we placed our order for drinks and I ordered a michelada (beer with clamato, lime, salt) Again, I was impressed with the mixture. Finally, ordered my entree: garlic shrimp. Upon arrival of food my eyes opened wide due to the big amount of food. I'm very picky when it comes to the temperature of my food and this plate was steaming hot freshly made just the way I like it. To top it off the shrimp, rice, and fries was absolutely delicious!! I'm so glad I went with a big appetite. My husband ordered mixed seafood cocktail and I tasted it and was also very good. I absolutely recommend this place and can't wait to be back! Hands down the best seafood in ALL of Joliet and surrounding areas. We got lucky with our waitress she was pretty good. The only improvement feedback I have for the restaurant is maybe improve on the salad portion of the plate since it was only shredded iceberg lettuce. read more

I always order the shrimp Cerviche. The dish is always fresh and you get a great value for your money. Make sure you come hungry!

Fabulous food! Huge portions so you can share! Ceviche was very good! Most try this hidden gem

Food was good. Service was terrible. Wait staff very unorganized. Did not even ask once if food was ok or if we needed anything. All the girls looked like would rather be elsewhere then waiting on table. Por eso hablan mal de los mexicanos. Smile people earn your tips! read more
