Marisco's Germán - Micheladas - Seafood Near Me - Escondido, California

This place is not the same as the food truck. I bought octopus tacos and they were hard. I threw them away and they were expensive. I have bought other things from food truck in San Marcos but it's not the same. read more

I've been eating here and at the food truck in San Marcos for the last 5 years - the food and the service is always excellent!! Make sure to try the verde aguachiles. read more

Marisco's Germán - Fish tacos, consome, michelada - Seafood Near Me - Escondido, California

Amazing food!!! Worth the price will definitely come back. Service was great.. consomé was delicious

I love Marisco's Germán! Their tacos are so good but the prices have risen SO much within the past 9 years (it's $4+ for one taco now). This location has a bit of a hidden parking area in the back that you can turn into on the big main road. Food rec wise, I've only tried the tacos because I'm just a huge fan. Definitely still worth trying if you've never been, but this isn't exactly the most affordable taco spot in town. read more

if your white don't go here they are incredibly racist to you if you are which isn't cool! food was disgusting, mind you I love Mexican food! and its super hot in there and uncomfortable overall I don't recommend at all read more

This is the first time I go to this spot. I always pass it going to north gate and I went today. Maaaannn I made a mistake passing this spot everytime. I got agua chile negro, shrimp ceviche and a cocktel de camarón. ALL OF IT was insanely good. I have zero complaints. The taste is just THERE! The cocktail isn't thick like some places I've tried here in esco. It very much goes great with a beer. My compliments for sure! This is now a go to for mariscos for me read more

This my to go for Mariscos I love Germans . Very tasty I love there consomé is so delicious read more

Bad service food was okay bought an extra large campechana only gave us two tostadas and 1 pack of salted crackers on a campechana that cost $32 read more

I had the campechana cocktail, which is a mix of shrimp, octopus, clams, scallops, and imitation crab. I'll start with what I loved the most about it, I loved the fact that the vegetables were very fresh, along with the lemony & spicy flavor, it just made it super good. The things I didn't like were, that for the medium cup that I got, I really only got 3 shrimp in the whole cup. Also the imitation crab was cut up in big chunks and they added way too much of the scallops. I wish that I could say that I've finally found my go to for "Mexican Seafood" in town but sadly my search continues. Overall, this place was great with their service, and the environment was clean and friendly. I will definitely be back but perhaps to try something different. read more

My mom and I had lunch here. We were craving Mexican seafood. I ordered 2 fish tacos and a shrimp taco. I ordered my mom a shrimp burrito. Batter was really thick and it had just cabbage minimal pico, and crema. Across the things we ordered they were all the same. My mom's burrito was exactly the same as the tacos cabbage a little pico and crème. She had a soda I had water and it came out to $47.00. Won't go back. read more

Visited 7/11/2022 Back for another visit for the best Fish & Seafood Tacos in all of San Diego County Bar None. The food here has been consistent every year since I've been coming here and that's been many years. The fish tacos are amazing and only $3.75ea. I never get tired of them. The Mixed Seafood Taco is $12.00 and is a whole meal in one taco. I ate it with a fork this time I never got to the bottom and the tortilla. Service is good, That food is even better. Small place but I've never had a problem getting a table. If you Love Baja style fried tacos this is the place for you. I'll be back again soon. read more

Do not order marlin or arrachera because it's not it. They served us tuna and ground beef. We were expecting quality food like it used to be and it was not at all the same. Very disappointed. Unsure if they're under new ownership but we won't be going back. The food was not worth it. read more

The name says it all..this is a seafood lovers paradise. The whole fried fish, scallops, octopus and garlic shrimp are house specials. Plan for a return visit to try something different which you are sure to enjoy. Viva Mariscos German..! read more

So my boyfriend is the king of knowing good places specifically mexican placed as well. So my mom wanted to bring my grandma some food for when we go see her. My boyfriend was telling my mom and I about this place because he says they are known for their fish tacos. We decided to try it out and bring some to my grandma. When we entered the place it looked very cool, the design and the decorations were very cool. The workers only speak spanish as far as I am aware because when my mom tried she only only responded in spanish. I ordered for us and we waited inside for our food, while waiting the lady also brought us a complementary consome de camarones. We got 2 fish tacos, 1 fish burrito and 1 carne asada tacos. It was so good! oh my gosh the food tasted wonderful, I usually have been pretty picky with my food especially mexican because my boyfriends parents good is unbelievable delicious!! I always compare it to theirs haha! This place is so freaking good and I would absolutely love to come back for some food! I wasn't able to finish the tacos because they were pretty big. I recommend coming here for good mexican sea(food). - Así que mi novio es el rey de conocer buenos lugares específicamente mexicanos colocados también. Así que mi mamá quería llevarle algo de comida a mi abuela para cuando fuéramos a verla. Mi novio nos estaba contando a mi mamá y a mí sobre este lugar porque dice que son conocidos por sus tacos de pescado. Decidimos probarlo y llevarle algunos a mi abuela. Cuando entramos al lugar se veía muy bien, el diseño y las decoraciones eran muy chulas. Los trabajadores solo hablan español hasta donde yo sé, porque cuando mi mamá lo intentó, solo respondió en español. Pedí para nosotros y esperamos dentro nuestra comida, mientras esperaba la señora también nos trajo un consome de camareones complementario. Nos dieron 2 tacos de pescado, 1 burrito de pescado y 1 tacos de carne asada. ¡Fue tan bueno! oh, Dios mío, la comida sabía maravillosa, por lo general he sido bastante exigente con mi comida, especialmente mexicana porque los padres de mis novios son increíblemente deliciosos. Siempre lo comparo con el de ellos jaja! Este lugar es tan bueno y me encantaría volver por algo de comida! No pude terminar los tacos porque eran bastante grandes. Recomiendo venir aquí para un buen mar mexicano (comida). read more

10/10 - the ceviche and fish tacos were incredible. We asked for an extra chipotle sauce on the side for the fish tacos and that really elevated them. The batter itself was already incredible but with the sauce it was *chefs kiss* read more

Everything was so good. A little bit pricey As a restaurant owner checking prices and plate presentations Looking for new ideas Pescado frito al mojo was really good. ***** Tostada loca was amazing ***** Ambiance was good You must put money if you want music as a restaurant owner I think we have to entertaining our clients Overall food was great We're here to rate food so food was amazing Service was amazing Recommended read more

Food actually taste pretty good. But the servings aren't as big for certain items and it is extremely overpriced. $4.25 for 1 fish taco?! A shrimp taco will run you $7!!! If you're absolutely craving it, it may be worth it to you. read more

What can I say.. first time here "awesome fish tacos" excellent friendly service... definitely give this a try you won't be disappointed

Be prepared to wait some time for your food if it's take out, they will skip you and serve others who dine in. If you try to order through the phone your call gets ignored I saw the cashier do it. I ordered my food at 6:33pm and did not get it until 7:30 pm read more

Los tacos de pescado son muy buenos es un lugar pequeño pero muy cómodo y limpio nos gustó mucho

I used to love this place a couple years ago! It is my go-to for campechanas! However, I did visit recently and it does not taste the same, sort of bland. I do love the shrimp tacos here, so much flavor. My boyfriend loves the fish tacos as well. The size of the tacos are big! You could get full off of 1 or 2. The carne asada taco - very plain and no seasoning on the meat. Stick with the seafood! Also, I believe they raised their prices a little. For a medium campechana it's 17$ now? Not 100% sure so don't quote me but I do know they raised prices. Understandable because of COVID. And Right now, they are open for dine in! read more

I would not recommend this restaurant if you are in a rush or need quick service! It took 2-3 hours from order to deliver for the food and the employees stress ignorant with using the computer machines. No recommendations for this restaurant stay away! read more

The best fish tacos. And at a great price. This is their specialty but yet all their other food is delicious as well. Each taco comes with a huge piece of fried fish. Topped with fresh pico and a mayo sauce that perfectly complements the taco. I get full off of two tacos with no sides. That's how big these tacos are. Their carne asada tacos are huge and equally tasty. The pieces are meat are cut fairly small and allowed to crisp on the flat top to get that perfect sear. They offer free small cups of consommé and it's even delicious on a super hot day. Their shrimp cocktails are on the pricey side and is just ok. I wouldn't order it again. Parking is available behind the restaurant but that's limited to about 8-9 spaces. No parking in front. There's no air conditioning inside either. The food also holds up well when you take it togo as well. The fish tacos are still crunchy and fresh tasting. Staff is hit and miss. Sometimes they are super friendly and helpful, other days they don't seem like they want to be there. read more

The best fish tacos and ceviche in toooown! Cash only!! Staff is friendly. Both times we went there, no one spoke English. This is where I wish I picked up Spanish in high school! Our order is correct every time so it's not a big issue. Our favorites are the fish tacos and the mixed tostadas because it has octopus! read more

So happy to have a Marisco's in North County! It's basically the same menu as the food truck but at a sit-down venue. I had the pulpo (octopus) taco- fresh with lots of pico de gallo and a white sauce. Very generous portion. I also ordered battered/fried fish tacos for my girls- they couldn't even finish them. Complimentary fish consume when you order-- it's a tomato and broth soup with fish and some vegetables. Everything is very fresh and cooked as you would expect. Worth another visit the next time I'm in Escondido. Next time- the marlin! read more

I have mixed reviews but on a good day, they are phenomenal and I love the menu choices. On a bad day, the little girl in the front won't speak Spanish to me and only assumes I can't speak because of the way I look I guess ‍ anyway they also forget to grill the shrimp sometimes when we ask so that sucks but like I said the food is great. I've just seen some bad days but I'll still give them 5 stars because we are human and can improve! read more

Wow first of their actual storefront opened 3 months ago! The ambiance took us back to Mexico with colorful decor and Mexican MTVs playing on the screens, and everyone looked Mexican except for us. We had tried their truck in San Diego and also in San Marcos before and the food here was slightly better than the truck, maybe because we had a spot shielded from the weather to enjoy our food? Their fish tacos were still amazing, and I finally got to try their octopus taco because they always run out at the trucks! The flavor was good but a bit too salty. So as I wanted to get some water to wash it down, we found out they don't serve water.... strange. We got a bottled coke anyway. There's parking at the back, just don't miss the small tight alley right before their entrance which will lead you to the lot at the back. It's nice that they have their own private parking! Unless you want to pay extra to pay with card, bring some cash. Thanks for coming to north county! read more

This place is bomb. Expensive but let me tell you the portions are what you pay for. You order two Tuna Marlin tacos and it's like 4 tacos. Huge portions. The lady at the front does smile. Service is good. I'm happy. I'm full. Alhumdudillah. read more

Marisco's Germán - Marlin tacos, and fish tacos! Eat here. Now. - Seafood Near Me - Escondido, California

Pretty good good and reasonably priced if you don't buy their liter sodas lol. This location is a bit hard to get to and the parking is in the rear. There's no drive thru but there's AC and TVs! Compared to their truck this is much better in terms of comfort. Comparing their food to other taco shops within a 5 mile radius their food is probably the best tasting. Worth a visit. Make sure to bring cash or be prepared to pay what I believe is a waste... $1.50 transaction fee is unheard of... Their Marlin tacos are bomb! Their dining area and restrooms are spotless. See you soon! read more

We came here last Friday because we were staying in Escondido and thought there would be great Mexican food around here. It took at least 45 minutes for our food to come out. The lady who took my order got it wrong. We asked for a wet burrito and it did not come out that way. I got the oysters and they were good with lime. The shrimp burrito was good. read more

$2 fish tacos! Come here you will never eat fish tacos anywhere else again! They have a "I'm eating maricos somewhere in Baja" feeling and the Finding Nemo theme is whimsical and fun! They also have a kids fish and chips meal that I occasionally get and the consome mmmm! If you order to go and it's not ready they offer it free while you're waiting! They have a taco truck too so if you see it -Stop by and you should try it!! You will see what I'm yelping about! Parking is in the back so coming off Esco Blvd turn into the Sun Valley gas station head towards the back and Mariscos German will be on your left. Enjoy! read more

Definitely recommend this place, and I worked at a mariscos location before! Called in my lunch order and it was ready in 10 minutes. He was super nice when I came to pick up, and included all their delicious salsas. The creamy red one is my favorite, spicy and full of flavor. The shrimp tacos were soooo good, reminded me of when I would visit Mexico as a kid. Will be back to try more, I highly recommend stopping in for a bite! read more

Came with my partner to try the delicious seafood Fresh seafood and great service. Love the ambiance, almost like a speak easy.

Fish tacos are good here also fair price considering they're pretty big. Everything else here is overpriced. I will say when ordering please look at the register prices. They are notorious for raising the prices on menu items. I ordered a tostada loca and menu price was 13, once i paid i saw receipt and it was 16. I asked the cashier and she pointed to the corner of the menu... "prices can change without notice" i thought that was very shady but they got me that time! I will still eat here but be warned. Stick to the fish tacos snd done over pay everything else. No outside food allowed for kids which is very stupid because our son is allergic to seafood. So for that reason we don't eat here anymore. If they allowed outside food for kids it would be different. read more

Move outta the way Rubios, this white girl found the authentic. I had this for lunch today. The price is right for the portion size. I ordered a fish and grilled shrimp taco. The fish taco was so delicious and filling. I only took a bite of my shrimp because I was full! This was a quick take out moment but I assure you, I will return, and I will take pics! Try the chipotle salsa, its one of a kind good! read more

Finally got to try this spot, this spot is a hidden gem!! I got the shrimp clamato and fish tacos. (sorry no fish taco picture was to delicious to wait) The shrimp clamato was perfectly made. it had a nice lemon/lime and spice added already you didn't need to add any extra flavor. The fish tacos was nice and crispy on the outside and soft inside. Definitely would recommed, i can't wait to come back & try the other things on the menu :) The spot is a little small, but you can take it to go and it still works out great. read more
