Simply the best! Better tan all the rest. This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant since I moved here 4 years ago. It's one of the first places I go when I've been out of town. Sometimes, my husband and I eat here twice in one week. Everything I've tried has been delicious. Amazing mole, tacos de pulpo, filete à la Diablo, and chile relleno. Their tamales and enchiladas are great. Their tacos are the best. My favorites are ground beef, shredded chicken, and shrimp. The staff is terrific. There are several people to greet you at the door with bright, smiling faces. They assist each other in making sure you have a great experience every time. The manager goes around to the tables to make sure they are well taken care of and are enjoying their food. read more

Hadn't been here since it was La Caseta and really enjoyed the La Caseta menu options they still have. I don't eat seafood but my dining companion did and really enjoyed it. Salsa tasted the same, always good. Service was mid, slow, not super friendly at around 7 on a week night when it wasn't that busy, but food was good. Would come back. read more

The service is good. The aguas frescas are to sweet. The enchiladas should only be with queso fresco as how original is, no cheddar cheese, I understand that people might like it but is not how they approach what they advertise Mexican food, the shrimp soup had lots of condiments that over power the natural taste of the shrimp. Mexican food is a very difficult way cook it but once is done right you can go wrong. The Mexican cusin does not have lots of room specially when you say is authentic. The place could do much better as they have a great place. Food is the key to all. read more

Sosimo, Elisa, and the rest of the servers there were EXTREMELY accommodating. The absolutely best service I have ever received at a restaurant. 10/10 The food was delicious and the prices for the amount of food they're provide to you on a plate is very reasonable. I ordered their Combo Tres Plate. I chose a burrito, tamale, and the enchilada w/ a side of refried beans and the house salad. 10/10 They provide you with really good salsa and chips. We probably had about 8 servings of the chips and salsa; so good! 10/10 The restaurant was exactly what you expect when going to a Mexican restaurant. I would comeback here any time I'm in the area. read more

I had my rehearsal dinner here in their outdoor patio space and we had a great time! Sosimo and team were extremely communicative and made the experience easy and stress-free. The space was clean and private, and the food was delicious! The Tres Combo plate allows you to try a few things at an extremely reasonable cost. I would love to come back here when I'm in the area and would recommend for any larger group parties. read more

Food and service amazing I tried the food truck for the first time yesterday and me and my girlfriend were very impressed we loved the soup they gave us while we waited the seafood, birria, and ceviche are amazing. read more

Cute little restaurant in Fallbrook. We were seated right away in the patio. It was getting a little cold so it's good they had heaters going. We shared a variety of food. We started out with Choros A La Plancha. So full of flavor. Cheese enchiladas. One with roja and the other with mole sauce. Loved both of them. The Parrillada Pacifico fajitas were also excellent which included 1/2 lobster tail, shrimp, prawn, steak, chicken, tomato, onion and bell pepper. Loved the assortment of meats and veggies. That came with beans, rice, salsa, sour cream and lettuce. Xango was the dessert. Churros, vanilla ice cream, chocolate, and raspberry sauce. I was so full after all the food I could only have a couple of bites of that which was delicious. I would definitely come back when I'm visiting Fallbrook again. read more

We have been here twice. Once when our planned lunch restaurant was closed and now we have returned because it terrific. Great Mexican food. Excellent, friendly service. Dog-friendly patio that's very nice. read more

Absolutely wonderful every visit. Mariscos a regular stop when we visit Fallbrook. It's always wonderful. The food is outstanding and the service is great. However this holiday season they did a particularly wonderful job. Both times we visited, the team welcomed us and our pet boxer on their patio. The guacamole is perfection. Entire menu is delish, but we particularly enjoy the enchiladas, burritos and chili relleno. We enjoyed the patio, the wonderful food, and the fellowship they offer. Can't wait to come back. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful lunch at this great restaurant. I had a mixed cocktail with shrimp and octopus that was top notch. Great service. Comfortable seating. Diverse menu. Checks all the boxes! read more

Yum! Nice new find for us. Fantastic Mexican food. They have a nice bar area you can sit in, a smaller dining room, or an outside patio. We enjoyed sitting in the bar area with Happy Hour M-F 2-6pm. Margaritas are awesome, but they also have beer and wine if your prefer that. They also do a fun little bday celebration if it's your bday! read more

The absolute BEST fish tacos ever!!! Try their butterfish tacos (fried) with their beans and rice. The rice is pretty flavorful, but the refried beans are impeccable -- super delicious with a good amount of cheese on top. Seriously though, the tacos are to die for. The fish is always extremely fresh and super juicy. The inside of the restaurant is always clean, and service is always kind and super efficient. I cannot wait to come back and order the tacos again. read more

We are regulars at Marisco's and they make each week so memorable! Bryaam is our bartender and always pays attention to detail in his drinks. We have never had a bad margarita or drink here and it's always a pleasure talking to him. Pedro, Joel and Maria always meet us with a smile every time we walk in the door. They have fast service and excellent customer service. Everyone works so hard and it shows in the food. We have tried many Mexican places and it's the best in town. Chips and salsa are always excellent down the most expensive thing on the menu. All perfect. My husband says the chicken mole is the best he's ever had. I think their happy hour is one of the best and taco Tuesday's! We will continue to come often and encourage everyone to give them a try! read more

We love Mariscos El Pacifico. The chips and fresh salsa are always a highlight--so good every time. Service is consistently friendly and fast. The ceviche tostadas are our go-to; super fresh and full of flavor. Just a great spot in Fallbrook for really solid mariscos. read more

You don't have to cross the border to get outstanding Mexican food just visit Mariscos it is fantastic. My favorite dish is chili relleno it melts in your mouth. Their drinks are great, margarita of course is the best. Atmosphere. read more

We have been dining here the last few years and sad to say it's been disappointing the last few times. Our food was cold, the drinks have gone up and don't match the casual atmosphere. The waitress never checked back for a second drink order, or to see how our food was. A party of 6 is charged a 20% gratuity now??? Really? Would a family with 4 kids get slapped a 20% gratuity? Nickle and dime us by charging $1.99 for a basket of chips after delivering 4 baskets( that are small to begin with) to a party of 6 adults. $1.82 for a small scoop of sour cream .... We use to enjoy this little casual restaurant , but the service and expensive drinks and petty charges are a big turn off, so we will say adios amigos! read more

Not sure if this is the margarita talkin, the sampler plate was fuego! We ordered the margarita flight as an afterthought, fireworks!! Fried avocados, mic drop. If you're within 100m come check this joint out. M read more

Yummm! I LOVE this place. We visit Falbrook area just to eat here. I always order fish (mahi mahi). I love their fish burrito, their fish tacos, and their whole grilled fish is amazing. Their chips and salsa are soooo good, and their drinks-delicious!!! I also love to see what others order-the shrimp dishes look pretty great also. The ambiance here is so pleasant-we like to eat outside. It's just such an enjoyable place to dine. I'll post a picture of our drinks. If you are in the area, stop in!!! read more

Mariscos El Pacifico Fallbrook - Yummy drinks! - Mexican Near Me - Fallbrook, California

It's hit or miss. This time it was a miss. We sat down- ordered our drinks- took awhile- but we got them. Server came back and took our dinner order. The dad and his daughter that sat down right before us got their order and left. Still no dinner. The party of 4 that sat down after us got their order- still no dinner. As we are about to throw down some cash for our drinks order, the manager came by to check on us. We told him that we ordered, but no food. He left came back.. our sever didn't submit our food ticket, but would you like another drink? We should have just left. Food came out- bland chicken enchiladas and the carnitas were very dry. We pay- we leave- our sever, who still did not apologize for not turning in our order, chases us down outside because she said our payment didn't go through. It did- we checked our bank. Major miss! Won't be coming back. read more

We've been coming to this Mexican restaurant for a while because the food is consistently good -- fresh chips, flavorful dishes, and generous portions. Unfortunately, the service is usually slow, and last night was a real disappointment with the drinks. My husband and I ordered margaritas with Patrón Silver (something we've had here plenty of times), but what we were served was not Patrón. The flavor was harsh and tasted more like moonshine than tequila. We didn't even finish them. If you're here for the food, you'll probably leave happy. But if you're looking for quality tequila or a well-made margarita, you might want to pass. read more

I think they had a change of owners. The place was nicely remodeled. The service is great. I had shredded beef tacos again on this visit. The shredded beef was dry and needed seasoning. The rest of the taco was good. The refried beans were on the dry side. They tasted good, though. The guacamole was made of avocados that were overripe. They still had a good flavor. The salsa was good but could use more seasoning. Their food, overall, is good but lackluster. read more

Delicious and very consistent! Food is hot and quick served with a smile! Huge menu with many wonderful choices!

The food was very good, we had a cheese enchilada with green sauce and burrito Verde. The chips and salsa were delicious as well. Wish there was more chips and salsa offered. Service was fast and.the resturnat is cute. read more

Taco Tuesday is OK, it's $4 a taco. And rice and beans is extra, so for 2 people. You're looking at $20-30 some dollars plus drinks, so it's really not that great of a deal. I thought that I was going to be a little bit more excited. The atmosphere's nice and the service is good, but not too happy on the prices. read more

Visited Marisco's for my wife's birthday and seated in the bar area. The serve staff were very pleasant and efficient, and the dining areas were full. The ambiance was low key and local. Ordered the carnitas verde and my wife had a fried fish dish in a Mexican sauce. Had not returned from our first visit a year ago which we found disappointing because of the food preparation. Sadly there has been little change since then. Both dishes were cold and the flavors bland. The carnitas tasted like boiled meat in a soupy flavorless green sauce and the rice and black beans were cold. Decided not to bother to send back because even reheated would not save the dish and left half a portion on plate. Wife had similar experience (cold beans and rice) and found her sauce bland as well. As a result of this experience have no plans to return. read more

Great service, food is really really good. Even the octopus is not chewy, its quite nicely done. The Mariscada is great. Their signature wings flavor is great. The place is awesome - the ambience. Fountain, shaded seating. Its a great little spot! read more

I've been here more than a handful of times since new ownership. I/we have had nothing but wonderful customer service and great food. We noticed that the chips and salsa that come out before the meal could be a hit and miss as far as freshness. My experience this week was fresh tortilla chips, still warm. It was light and crispy. From the get go customer service excellent. It was very friendly, and there was eye contact and smiles! I ordered the Mojarra Frita, again. I had it not to long ago and it was seasoned (salt) & fried to perfection, that I had to order it again. I'd rather order fish out, less cleaning at home. The fish could have used a little bit more salt, but nonetheless it was delicious. Nice and crispy! I ordered double rice instead of having beans. They brought out the dish with my specific request and cautioned that the platter was extremely hot. Everything was fresh and I was very content with my order, I may order it, again! They have soda water available too! This is a plus for my husband and I since we are not flavored soda drinkers. The menu offer a variety of dishes and even some meatless and low carb options. I've yet to try some of their cocktails. The decor is simple and nice, no clutter look. The outdoor seating has been enclosed since it changed over. This is a nice barrier for noise and weather control. Parking lot fills up quickly but there is street parking available. read more

Excellent food and service! I would highly recommend Mariscos El Pacifico in Fallbrook.

I had my rehearsal lunch for my wedding party here this past weekend. I reserved the patio well in advance and communicated with the manager, Zozismo. He and his staff provided top notch service to our guests. The food was amazing. Everyone loved the tacos and ceviche. I can't thank them enough. A huge thanks to everyone who worked that day. My wife and I are lucky to have found this place. We'll definitely be back when we're in town. read more

Ordered door dash for Super Bowl best omelette I've had in years ..great hot sauce and when they say HOT they mean it loved it

Nice spot for good Mexican food. Nice inside seating and a great patio area. Tons of choices on the menu and plenty of wine, beer, and alcohol too. They have Senior menu too, but the portions looked small. The Vegetarian Burrito was a bit wimpy, hardly any beans. It didn't come with any salsa. The carnitas were good. The service was slow, so relax! read more

Service was great. They were very friendly! I came so early for the oysters, and it disappointed. They were Baja oysters, larger than most but they were pasty and lathered with water! If the food was better I'd give more stars. Maybe I came on an off day. I loved the restaurant ambience and where it was nestled. I'm glad it opened so early so I would come again. Hopefully next time I'd get to update with more stars! read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Fallbrook. Our family eats there once a week. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding. Everyone who works there is always so friendly. We also order to go food too. The $4 tacos on Tuesday are so yummy. The seafood is amazing. They bring chips and homemade salsa soon after you sit down. The salsa is great, we always ask for extra. You can't go wrong here. It's a great place to go for your birthday. They sing and play music for you. They bring a free dessert too. read more

Ordered a tostada de mariscos and I received a tostada full of octopus barely any scallops on it I was hoping to eat fresh shrimp but was disappointed by their food. They placed an oyster on the side but that also was warm and not how it's supposed to be served. Although customer service and environment is nice they need to hire a cook who cares to provide fresh seafood as it should be served. read more

The grilled fish filet was pretty good but until I got home I had the worst stomach pains. It felt swords were stabbing me. The ambiance is vibey but yeah next I won't be ordering any seafood read more

We usually always order this place from Door Dash and the food is pretty good, but decided to go in today and eat inside. The restaurant itself looks pretty humble, it's cute but nothing crazy or anything. It's clean and comfortable. I am not one to be huge on ambiance if the food is good- this is why I am really here anyway. The food! The service was top notch, very attentive staff, really polite and made sure we had everything we needed and our chips were always full. The food is amazing here. You definitely wouldn't think this place is so good, it's pretty hidden and not super noticeable in Fallbrook but don't sleep on this place. It's really a hidden gem out here in Fallbrook. The food is amazing!!! A must try, again and again! read more

The food is good. The service is mostly efficient but not always. They charge $20 for shrimp fajitas which comes with two sides, tortillas and pico de gallo. They weren't sizzling and they deliver them on a square cutting board that has the hot surface.... And no plate. They do not serve guacamole or sour cream with the fajitas! At least not the shrimp ones. So we asked for some. They charged us $2 each for a tiny plastic container of guac and $1.75 each for a tiny plastic container of sour cream! I dislike the nickel and dime-ing. I would rather they increase the price and just include it. Idk...something about that that doesn't sit right with me. Also, there was a piece of chicken in the fajitas. Ew. I will be back but won't order fajitas again. Why didn't they sizzle? Isn't that the most exciting part of getting them? read more

Love the chicken enchiladas with Oaxacan black mole sauce. First rate flavor! Good drinks and service too.
