Mojarra fish
Quin U.

I really liked the atmosphere inside, not super fancy but totally has that Mexico beach feel. It just has that real Mexican vibe inside. This place also has something I've never had as an free appetizer from a Mexican restaurant before, a free bowl of pozole. I did have to wait awfully long despite the fact that there were only a few other parties inside of the restaurant. Mind you this was my first time ever eating mojarra so I can't compare it to other places, but I liked what I got. The fish was well grilled and had a nice taste to it. Would I had enjoyed this place more if I got a food that I was more familiar with, I probably would had enjoyed it more. This place deserves another visit from me but for now I'll say that this place is decent. The service definitely could had been better but I'm not gonna complain too much about that.

beef fajitas

good food and great service. I like coming during the weekdays since it's very busy weekends.

Woo wee! This place serves authentic seafood from a Hispanico background and they nailed it. They have come leaps and bounds from when they first opened, everything is repainted, very bright, the menu is varied and easy to read, the servers are knowledgeable, friendly and very fast. They start you off with a bowl of Taliban, which is a warm shrimp "chowder" that has shrimp cooked to perfection, potatoes, carrots, onion in a spicy broth with a slice of lemon on the side, it will warm you through to your bones. I had the Sopes with chicken, it came piled with everything I love, pico de Gallo, cotija, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce and the kicker HOME MADE BEANS, I would have eaten those beans in a bowl with nothing else, they were so buttery and rich in flavor. When I go back I will be ordering vegetarian sopes so that I can have additional beans! My husband ordered the Molcajete Calentao but I loving nicknamed it as the "beast bowl", My man has an appetite and he definitely put an effort into eating this, besides all of the food the is draped over the sides and cooked to perfection, the middle of the bowl is filled with this rich sauce full of warm notes including curry which surprised me, but it is full of veggies there's red peppers Green peppers onions potatoes it is like an additional soup plus all the meat and veggies and tortillas! The environment here is wonderful, it's definitely a neighborhood spot, there's so many people coming and nobody minds even close to each other, the bar is perfect for sitting at, and when we arrived there were actually mariachis there singing and they left about half an hour after we started our dinner but it was really delightful to have them there and it was not overwhelming with their music at all they kept it very professional so that everyone could enjoy the sound level. We're going back, maybe this next weekend! I can't wait to have my bowl of beans.

What a wonderful restaurant they have. Mariscos is a small friendly diner with a very robust menu offering multiple Mexican dishes and many great seafood options. The fish tacos were ok he best part of the meal, but the fajita burrito did not disappoint! I would also strongly suggest the drink menu, as it has lots of options and a very pocket friendly reverse happy hour. Great place for a quick bite or dinner with the family and the staff is spectacular!

Love this place

I enjoy coming to this place I love it I go there every Friday they played the music I like the food is great

In a town full of latino locals with so many mexican restaurants all around you'd think one more would just blend. Not this one! I was so "giddy" to see this place pop up and in the heart of it all. One new, clean and big mexican restaurant shining. I thought I heard angels singing when I entered into the place. That was mariachi music.. ok nothing like angels but still. The restaurant is full of energy and happy people dancing to your tables happy to be waiting on you. OK not like that but.. I have to tell you this spot had a super old chinese restaurant in here for years. It was dark, dingy and you wondered what it really was. I had not stepped into this location in 15 years? Now it's just like a breath of fresh air. The menu is packed with so many different choices and since this is a marisco place it is loaded with fish and seafood options!!! They also managed to get their liquor license pronto!!! Now for the food part since ya I know you've been waiting. I just had to "indulge" on some background. Speaking of indulging though I ordered the Camerons Diablo.. and yes, the devil was in the sauce. I asked for it spicy and they took me seriously! Yes! Oh and no melted cheese on anything! Yes again.. just the nice white cojito cheese dusted over my creamy and flavorful beans. Even their rice had a little bit of onion, green pepper. We got a side of chile rellano to see what type they make. It's breaded on the outside for those of you that like that. When you cut into it the cheese drips out.. perfectly cooked. I had a margarita. Strong but not my favorite because it's just from a mix but that's to be expected and pretty normal in this type of establishment. I had also asked for some hotter salsa before even tasting their original salsa they brought to the table with chips that were warm and homemade. They made us a special salsa that was so creamy and spicy. I still regret that I did not ask to take it home. Next time. In all seriousness, I think this restaurant will round out this particular area a bit more and make it their own.

Free appetizers awesome

See all

By FAR, the only true authentic Mexican mariscos restaurant near Portland. Their current rating is total bullshit. Highly recommend.

Super expensive for what you get. Six shrimp for $17 is way too much when you can get 11 shrimp from a competitor.
