My bf and I have been living here in Merced for about 4 years and barely came across this Mariscos place, I can't believe it took us this long! Located in a small shopping complex with plenty of parking, so it's a little hard to pass up if you're not familiar with the area! We've started coming here since we found out, the mariscos and drinks are amazing, the quality and portion sizes of the dishes are definitely work the price! The michelada's are thirst quenching, huge, and tasty! We will definitely be coming back regularly! read more

Mariscos El Nacho - Shrimp tostada - Mexican Near Me - Merced, California

Oh. My. GOD. This mariscos spot is an absolute gem! The portion size compared to the price is INSANE. You get a serious amount of food -- the tostadas are loaded, and the cocktail? Packed to the top. No skimping here at all. The flavor was completely on point and everything tasted so fresh. It honestly felt like I was in Mexico eating seafood right off the coast. Every bite was bright, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. If you're craving authentic, fresh mariscos with generous portions, this is the spot. 10/10 -- I'll definitely be back! read more

Well- this place was not advertised as a seafood only establishment. Smelled like rotten fish when we walked in so we walked right out and went next store- had good carnitas there. read more

First time at Mariscos El Nacho and it did not disappoint! I ordered the campechana and it was amazing--super flavorful and generously packed with camarones, callo de acha, and pulpo. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion was more than satisfying. They also brought out a side of salsa that was nice and spicy--definitely had a kick, but it complemented the seafood perfectly. The service was friendly and quick, and the whole vibe felt authentic and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu! read more

Shrimp cocktail delicious. I will be back soon. Tried fish ceviche, excellent. Green salsa fire

My wife and I were craving some shrimp cocktails. We searched around and came across Mariscos El Nacho. So we drove over and tried it out the only negative I could say about our experience is that it was cold in there but after some spicy salsa and chips we were just fine. The cocktails (campechana for me and shrimp cocktail with mango for her) came out filled to the brim with fresh sea food. They definitely satisfied our craving. The portions were HUGE and the service was good. We will be back ! read more

Pésimo servidos te atienden con mal actitud y nacho tomado le anda faltando el respeto alas mujeres casadas

My Family and I were craving seafood while we were in Merced and this was their introduction to Mariscos. We ordered cajun shirmp, aguachiles and a tostada. Aguachiles was definitely the crowd favorite, the shrimp were big and the lime juice portion was generous. The cajun shrimp is quite good and came in hot. The seasonings and butter are definitely way more in traditional cajun shrimp Im used to but this satisfies that craving. Knocking off a star for the tostada because the squid wasn't fresh, resulting to being barely eaten. The service was fast and friendly. We also liked how it gave a family restaurant feel. I'd go back specifically for the aguachile again. read more

The place was clean and the food was great. Will definitely be back when we're in the neighborhood again. The seafood wasn't fishy and two dishes fed the 4 of us. . We got the seafood tower (Pastelito de Mariscos) delicious but definitely needed more lime and salt. And we got the shrimp in the green sauce(don't know what's it's called)... got a spicy kick but so freaken good. We also go the squid sugar drink(non alcoholic).... Definitely a must get. read more

Edit to my pervious review. I'm very happy I gave this hidden jewel in Merced another chance! I was very, very pleased that they remembered us and let us know that our review was appreciated and that they took note of our opinion. This speaks highly of the ownership. The music was pleasant and at comfortable levels. It just happened to be louder on the previous visit. Again, the food was on point! We brought the kids this time. (Ages 9, 8, and 7) they really enjoyed it! We ordered Kobe Tostada sauce on the side Tostiloco Nacho Pastelito So so good! I invite you all to come. Prices are very good for the amount of food. Great for small groups. read more

I have eaten here several times and have tried about four different tostadas. My favorite is the tropical, but all were very good. Honorable mention is the aguachiles with Verde sauce. The hot sauce has great flavor. Getting to know the staff and they are friendly and provide quick service. I can call in my order and its done by the time I drive there. read more

If you have never had Mexican seafood nachos and can only visit one restaurant in Merced, I would recommend Mariscos el Nacho. This family run business consisting of the dad and his two sons makes excellent food. I have come here 2-3 times a week and highly recommend the Kobe nachos/tostada. It is a combination of diced cooked and raw shrimp, cucumbers, onions, and mangos mixed in this special mildly spicy, limey, delicious sauce. It comes with some chips to dip into the shrimp mixture, all for $8, generous portions. If you are trying to eat healthy, this is a high protein meal! The food is simple, fast, delicious, generous, and reasonably priced. The staff are super nice and chill. I am so sad that I will be leaving Merced after only 3 months and won't have a chance to eat here again anytime soon, but am glad to have found them early on. They have an assortment of other seafood options, but I loved the Kobe so much I didn't get a chance to try any of the other ones! Seafood nachos are the best and this is the place to get them. And for those with sensitive stomachs out there like me, worried about eating raw shrimp from a small restaurant, I will say that the food sanitation here has not been a problem for me; after eating here countless times, I have yet to have a stomach ache. read more

We had aguachiles verdes, as one would expect a spicy/sour platter. The Food Was Salty and Flavorless. Seemed like they only added salt to their platter. Staff was okay. Although weren't much of a help, took our order & handed us our food and that's about it. Left the place with a headache and stomach ache. read more
