I came here on a Wednesday where it's not super packed. Mariscos are TDF. La piña era una delicia. 10/10. Michelada was bomb af too. ‍ read more

No les recomiendo este lugar para nada El domingo fuimos 4 amigos a las 7 pm Nos dieron la mesa la Mesera no fue por 20 minutos hasta que fuimos a reclamar Luego las bebidas tardaron mucho llegaron primero los aperitivos que las bebidas No nos dieron tostadas ni galletas hasta que las pedimos Pedimos unos aguachiles súper salados y Un coctel de camarón mixto feo una piña rellena y me la llevaron sin piña que porque se les terminaron un servicio horrible y pedimos la cuenta y ya con el 20% de propina Le dimos la tarjeta y a un así tardaron 10 minutos para darme la cuenta la verdad ese lugar no lo recomiendo read more

The service was quick and the portions were great. Usually seafood places are stingy with rice but the portion here was good. They didn't have many options of aguas frescas to choose from. The ambience was decent, they have tvs displaying sports games. read more

One of my favorite Mexican seafood spots in the city! I drive all the way from the north side to archer heights just to eat their red snapper with the Nayarit sauce great service and the owner/manager is always nice and attentive. This place doesn't stay open late so make sure you make in with time or else they won't be able to serve you. read more

Take Out: ordered a caldo de camarones $20, to receive a small side of broth with vegetables and not one single shrimp . Tried calling the restaurant numerous times but no answer . So costumer service 0/5. The broth had great flavor, so don't doubt the food . read more

When it comes to getting Charolas de mariscos my family always chooses this establishment. However in the past orders they have been receiving very little side salsas (2 little ones) have in mind this charola loca is over $120 Yesterday I decided to place my first order I live in the south suburbs so since it's a family favorite I placed it and made sure to let the person on the phone know that lately there's been very little salsas for the amount of money and quantity... she even charged me extra to make it's saucier.... When finally getting home and opening not only did my family say they didn't fill up the charola , it wasn't saucy and they again only gave two small habanero salsas(little as in taco salsas little). I was and my family were very disappointed I personally won't be ordering from here again... first impressions make the difference. read more

After a couple times of trying to dine in here, we finally decided to wait the 45 minute wait. It was definitely worth the wait. They start you off with a mini ceviche tostada made out of tuna, along with two very spicy salsas. It is also BYOB, but they limit you to only 3 beers a person during the weekend. I ordered their large Michelada mix for $8, and they bring out a huge pitcher filled to the top. Definitely worth the price. I also ordered a 1/2 dozen order of oysters. Great price at $1 each. They taste so delicious with Lime, salt and Cholula sauce. My go to entree is their Pina Rellena. Some places go all out with these, and other places serve some disappointing pinas. Here they served a phenomenal Pina Rellena with a side of garlic bread and rice. As for the Pina Rellena, it was stuffed with shrimp, pineapple, peppers, and octopus all sautéed in their delicious spicy cream sauce. Overall I left very full and very satisfied with their food and their customer service. Even though their wait time was extremely long, the guy was on top of everything, and gave us a call as soon as our table was available. It took a while for our order to be placed, but once our order was in, our table was never empty. I will definitely be returning. read more

Covid-19 Isolation Review ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I recently picked up a couple of Piñas Rellenas. These are phenomenal and the most delicious piña rellena I've had. The piña is filled with a creamy sauce, pineapple, shrimp, crab meat, calamari, among other seafood I can't remember at the moment. The dish comes with buttered, garlic bread, and white rice. It is enough for two people to share. We also got the tuna ceviche, and that was also delicious. A would say that they don't give enough salsas or tostadas, so ask for extra if you want more than three tostadas. I would recommend if you're in the mood for a sweet and savory piñas. read more

We have ordered from this place several times. If you are having a couple of friends over for dinner or to watch a game and just want to put so.ething out for everyone to nibble from and pizza is not your thing, I would highly recommend ordering one of theirtrays. read more

We've tried almost every item on the menu and they're all great. Fried stuff, cocktails, michealadas, grilled stuff. Nothing disappoints. Great place to go on a hot summer day. The grilled pulpo (octopus) tostada has some of the greatest and mysterious seasoning I've ever tasted. I definitely recommend coming on a hot day. Coffee is tasty but on weak side but free refills make up for that. You really can't go wrong here. Update: Last visit the place was understaffed badly..30 minutes and we didn't even have drinks. We will still go back, food is that good, but we hope that was an isolated occurrence. read more

The seafood here is awesome. I was a little leery when the menu came. I should tell you the pictures do the dishes, no justice. We shared the Longostinos, and OMG! They were awesome. The white rice was super also. We will definitely return to try another item off the menu. Our appetizers was a dozen raw Oysters. They were fresh and tasty. Loved them. You stop by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered food via Uber eats: Caldo de Pescado one size only $18. Got excited when I saw big white bucket!!! But It was not edible, I asked for lots of vegetables, it came with bottom of the pot misc dissolved unrecognizable vegetables only few carrots survived. It was full of fish A LOT of IT but it was not fresh at all, it had tail, fins, and fish was jelly like and some were rubbery. Just not good at all waste. read more

Ordered the shrimp in devil sauce. It was delicious! I slapped both the salsas that come with the ceviche before you received the meal. All of what I mentioned were delicious. Fresh and spicy. Hint of sweet in the shrimp dish. I'm craving it right now just thinking about it. Thank you. read more

BYOB but make sure to bring cans to avoid a $2 charge per glass bottle. Customer service that goes above and beyond, especially from the manager. He's constantly stopping by tables making sure everything is great. I enjoyed everything about this restaurant and will definitely return each time I'm visiting Chicago. read more

First time coming here, Mother's Day. It is an open area, family friendly. We were greeted immediately by staff and sat in less then three minutes. Clean, well staffed, okay food. It was early and we were looking for breakfast restaurant but everything on the area was packed. The appearance of the food was great. Large portions. I feel the taste was good not great but this maybe because we were not planning on coming here. We will definitely be back on a non holiday for another shot. read more

This is such a good representation of Nayarit style seafood. The service was fast, the portions were huge, and the food was spicy. I definitely recommend the ceviche as a starter. It has huge chunks and is a perfect combo of sour and spicy. read more

Great food. Slow service. Dirty bathrooms. Food was delicious, on the pricier side. The waitress forgot about us a couple of times, we had to ask her twice for silverware after she brought our food. The ladies bathroom, although it had elegant features, the trash all over the floor masked them completely. I walked in and immediately thought I was in a gas station restroom. read more

Not sure why this place has so many bad reviews ! 1. the mariscos here are some of the best in Chicago ( name something better I am game ) 2. The service is fair - cannot expect to be waited on hand & foot when this place is always packed 3. Going to a marisco place some of the seafood is kind of pricey ( not here ) & if the price is low the food is subpar .. you get what you pay for 4. The pinapple / cucumber drink is addicting order a pitcher not a glass . 5. This place charges for BOTTLES not cans when you BYOB El Kora is outstanding when it comes to Estilo Nayarit mariscos ( however other seafood places also serve meat options this is missing here) Parking is a problem here on the weekends on during the week later on in the evening be prepared to drive around looking for a spot . read more

Don't ever go here It was our very first time coming here and never again! The empanadas weren't cooked right,The bread was doughy. La salada kora was also so horrible. The shrimp wasn't cooked right at all and if shrimp Isn't cooked right we could possibly get sick. It was just a horrible experience. They charged us $20 for just the empanadas and the drinks. We don't recommend anyone coming here. Here are pictures of the food. read more

Never coming back to this place. Service was horrible. Our waitress must have been having a bad day, she was not welcoming at all. The food was horrible. I had garlic shrimp, yuck, over cooked is an understatement. My kids orders chicken nuggets, horrible. My husband had a campechana, horrible as well. Food not seasoned at all! The only good thing was the music playing hahaha read more

Service is great! The place is clean. The food is outstanding. Amazing Huachinango al Mojo de ajo.

We love the food here but....... this is my 3rd time at the new location and they really need to get their act together. We walked in with a wine bottle and the sever said we couldn't bring a glass bottle so I walked back to the car and put it in a plastic bottle I brought it back on and she said we couldn't bring outside drinks in IT'S BYOB! I was with my family 3 adults and 2 children we aren't planning on getting drunk at our favorite seafood place. 2nd issue our server was so bad! My 10 year old brother said " Great quality food, terrible service!". I asked for a michelada cup she brought me a pitcher, I let it pass. We asked for a cup she asked if plastic or glass we said plastic.. she brings a glass we ask for a plastic again with ice she brings a glass with ice. We loved coming here and have been loyal customers but why can't people bring glass bottles in if you offer huge glass cups!!!! read more
