Wow, I can't get enough of this place. Evertime I come I get another surprise. I was here on a Monday at 9:30 pm and there was a full-blown party with live music. Today, I had a very big bowl of fish, shrimp, octopus, and veggies! It was amazing and full of flavor. So far all their food has been wonderful. I will continue to come several times a week. read more

Mariscos El Malecon - Huge and delicious Octopus - Sushi Bars Near Me - McLean, Virginia

BEST MEXICAN (Seafood) MARISCOS IN NOVA! Los mejores Mariscos en Northern Virginia. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection, and I highly recommend the tamarind margaritas, churros and tres leches cake for dessert. I live the lively atmosphere and the amazing service, the owner and employees are very welcoming and friendly. Get there early on the weekends, it gets very busy and waiting time can be long during weekends and holidays but totally worth the wait! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Went on a Sunday lunch. Not busy. Seated immediately and staff was very quick to respond. Even though we had a waitress, the whole team that would walk by would always check-in to see if we need anything. Very kind people! Food was really good and fresh. Generous portions so make sure you go hungry. Restaurant was clean with some modern decor. I would go again to try more food items because their menu is very large. There is something for everyone (to include those that don't want to eat seafood). read more

I write "wow" a lot, so I'm going to throw in wow, wow, wow, so you'll know that this restaurant would get more than five stars if I could give it more. My family and I loved our entire experience. Service was so attentive and helpful, from start to finish. Our food was incredible. And we couldn't get enough of the party vibe--lively and fun. We ordered the ceviche especial, coco relleno, and molcajete de Malecon for two. It was a gorgeous and scrumptious feast. All the dishes were huge! Definitely perfect for sharing. The ceviche was bright and fresh. They were also very generous with the amount of seafood. Coco relleno consisted of assorted seafood served in a coconut shell, with the sauce made from coconut milk! This dish was a stunner, and it tasted as good as it looked. The proteins served in the molcajete had the right amount of saltiness and fattiness--a great choice if you're looking for something more decadent. While they have "mariscos" or seafood in their name, this restaurant also excels at meat dishes; another family member got carne asadas to go and loved it. If you still want to stick with seafood, then you might want to give their versions of sushi a try (ginormous and mostly cooked). Or you could try the photogenic seafood tower. Yum! I can't wait to return and share this experience with other family and friends. read more

Good food, great vibez. Had soccer games and some great mexican bandas . The ceviche was delicious and the drinks were also delicious

This is the first time and last time to visit this place I order the carne asada in medium rare. It took only a couple of minutes once it arrived the cucumber was just like in the drink old like if it was left in the refrigerator for a couple of days, the seasoning for the carne asada had the seafood seasoning and was well done. The entire plate seemed like the entire plate was recycled from the food that was left over last night. The service was not the best the server did not seem friendly or caring with the concerns. My wife order the shrimp and octopus botana and the food had the same seasoning and the carne asada as if it was cooked in the same pot. She ate it and hopefully was fresh and hopefully she does not get sick. We got 3 different servers and we waited over 10 minutes for the check. This seems like a salón or a pub and will not recommend it specially if you plan to bring your kids here they have lot of people just drinking on tables mostly older man. Please do not waist your time or money in this place read more

Mariscos El Malecon - Langostinos (prawns) - Sushi Bars Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Es la primera vez que fuimos a este restaurante. La verdad la comida estuvo excelente, muy limpio el lugar pero la atención al cliente es 0/10. Entramos y estuvimos esperando, las mesaras solo viéndose entre ellas todas sentadas, al parecer nadie nos quería atender. Cuando nos atendió la mesera nos sirvió la comida y se fue a sentar y nunca más regresó. No llevó platos y el platillo que pedimos era para dos personas. La mesera nunca fue atenta. Solo miré un mesero barón alto, blanco que estaba atendiendo la mesa de la par, muy atento y amable. Ojalá que todos fuera así para atender. read more

Tuvimos un recibimiento muy amable de parte del host, un server muy amable y cordial el cual estuvo atento en todo momento, el recibimiento del Manager espléndido verificando que estemos bien. Si buscas un ambiente familiar y te gusta la música en vivo día Sábado por la noche que pudimos visitar con otras parejas amigos nuestros les encantó la visita de los mariachis en nuestra mesa. La comida con un sabor delicioso cuidando qué cada plato cumpla con su propio plato, sí eres amante de la Paella pues te fascinará el sabor. Un ambiente limpio y agradable que te da gusto visitar y compartir una comida deliciosa. read more

I really wanted to like this place but after two visits of terrible food, inattentive service and questionable sanitary practices I am certain my first visit was not a one off. The staff is young and inexperienced and makes a lot of mistakes. They use poor quality ingredients and overcook the seafood. I'm uncertain how this place remains in business read more

The outdoor seating looks great but indoor looks plain. The food was weirdly unique but tasted good. The price was high despite large quantities. The sushi was not good so I don't recommend those. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious. The taste was unbelievable. I have never tasted food this good. The drinks were on point and service was excellent. The atmosphere was perfect. I will be a regular this place is amazing. read more

Prices are like a 5 star establishment, food like a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Staff barely speaks any English. Main ingredient in all the dishes is shrimp. 3 kinds of ceviche, all shrimp. Cocktails - shrimp, fajitas, guess what - shrimp. Ordered a double shot of tequila. Apparently, a 1 and 1/2 sip of beverage at this place is considered a double shot. Music is too loud and obnoxious. All and all, save yourself a couple of hundred dollars, go across the road to Patsy's for a very nice meal and drink and still have some pocket change read more

We loved the Butterflied Shrimp lunch platter that my partner and I split along with a beer and Mexican Coca Cola. Deliciously seasoned shrimps in a remarkable sauce included a few side tortillas with 2 highly spicy sauces, salad and rice. Our service was lovely and we felt very welcome. We enjoyed our meal and would love to try others, so we will look forward to returning . read more

Great food and excellent service. We were a party of 5 (one in a wheelchair). Newbies to this restaurant, but long time fans of Sinaloa cuisine, which is hard to find here in Northern Virginia. The staff was very accommodating and gracious. We will be back! read more

The food here was top notch. We did the seafood platter for 6-8 people. If you like seafood and you like flavor and spice, you will enjoy this place. I recommend this place and will be returning soon. read more

The food was not that great. Our service was very slow, and the margaritas flight tasted like juice without alcohol. I am not a fan and will not be returning. read more

The food here was amazing. We got the shrimp cocktail, the texana fajitas, and some tacos. The portions are huge, flavors are authentic, and the drinks were enormous as well. This is an underrated gem, especially for the price. The service is decent, and the ambiance is very homey and cozy. They have an outdoor seating area and a very small bar as well. read more

The ambiance was fine, the service was fine too and I'm just talking about our waitress. However, the management of the restaurant was terrible. We ordered the grilled octopus and unfortunately it was chewy, super tough to eat and they didn't care when we mentioned it, we were just told they would tell the chef. Price of the dish $58.00 USD. We also ordered the 7 mares seafood soup and it was tasteless. The micheladas were super sweet and almost alcohol-free. Very expensive and not worth it. I don't recommend. read more

The place is weird. You walk in and feel like you are in a caribbean restraunt. The menu has mostly shrimp and octopus (and mostly both in all dishes). It is mexican/sushi/ and we saw someone eating fetticini so theres that. The service was bad and we were there over 2 hours (not because we wanted to be). We watch the bar tender pour a shot of tequila, it sit on the bar for an hour and the bartender pour it back in the bottle. Overall i will never come here again due to poor service and lack of cleanliness. Lots of good places to choose in this area, dont waste your money read more

Such a fun restaurant! A mix of Mexican and sushi...who knew that worked? Food was fantastic. Service was great too. Would 100% recommend this place! read more
