Came here on a Saturday on Memorial Day weekend. We arrived around 3pm right after the lunch rush because there were several tables that had not been cleaned. It also took 20 minutes before we got our menus or any water. That being said, I believe they were busy and probably down a person or two in staff. The food is still outstanding. The Parillada is basically steak, chicken & shrimp sizzling fajitas and comes with tortillas, and another plate of beans, rice & a salad. Combined with the complimentary chips & salsa, this is a TON of food for $23. And it's absolutely delicious. We also got the shrimp aguachiles (small), which comes with 6 butterflied shrimp. They use serrano peppers in the citrus broth which is spicier than you can imagine. One of, if not the hottest, dish in Oceanside. Bring some ice-cream for your mouth. My wife didn't like the Chile Relleno plate too much. This is surprising because most of their food is really amazing. Will be back again and again. read more

Food was amazing !! I ordered the carne asada plate and wow it did not disappoint. It had a smoky juicy flavor to it and was sad when i got to the final bite . Food was very filling that I was able to take some to go. I recommend ordering this plate if you're indecisive about what to order. As for the service , the workers were very kind and i liked how the place was decorated . If this restaurant was inna more busier area I feel like it would get more business because i was surprised why it wasn't more full of people. Will be coming here again, thank you!! read more

Great little mxn restaurant here in Oside. Highly recommend the fish ceviche tostada! Great value and even better tasting! Very authentic.

Mariscos Huatulco is a hole in the wall located off Mission Ave in Oceanside. Very colorful inside. Lots of food options. Ordered some chips and salsa. Chips were slightly stale but I give it a pass because I usually eat all the chips before my entree, which spoils my appetite. Ordered the shrimp quesadilla. Was yummy. Large portion for a decent price ($12.99). Did not skimp on the shrimp either, which I appreciated. Able to take half home and eat it for dinner. My friend ordered the taco which looked delicious as well. Service could have been more lively but it wasn't terrible. She does her job and checks in. Would eat here again to try other options w that expectation. read more

We got a flat tire and pulled into the restaurant's parking lot. Since the tow truck was going to take a while we decided to stop in for a bite. Glad we did. I had a mango Margarita and we ordered some asada nachos. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised it was very good. What stood out to me was they did not hold back on the meat. Good food and good portions. read more

We usually love this place, but Saturday night was a huge disappointment. We were six people and we really should have walked in & walked right out. They had a guy singing karaoke & the music was cranked so loud we couldn't hold a conversation, even though we sat at a table furthest away from the speaker. The guy was also not a very good singer.... Usually the food is impeccable, but the kitchen seemed a bit off. Chips & salsa are always good, especially if you use their house made green salsa which is nicely spicy. Fish tacos are great w/a nicely fried chunk of fish. The kitchen sent out a cheese enchilada instead of a beef enchilada on a combo plate & it took forever to get the replacement. The chicken taco plate was also lackluster & it's usually very good. Their octopus ceviche is always excellent & the combo fajita dish was also good, Do NOT waste your money on their strawberry margarita ($15) It's waaaay too sweet- think they use strawberry syrup instead of fresh strawberries & you can't even taste the tequila. Tried to fix it with a shot of tequila, but that was a waste of another $10. Soooo .. some of the food was off, the music was painful (my husband actually tried stuffing pieces of napkin in his ears & I found earplugs in my purse & used them). The waitstaff there is also usually good, but it seemed like there were only two ladies working, so service was slower than usual too. Hopefully, this was an anomaly as this is usually our go-to Mexican restaurant. read more

It might not look like much when you drive by, but this is the spot! Anytime I get a craving for some ceviche this is my go to! I also really enjoy their enchiladas with rice and beans. They have huge portions and everything is super fresh! The full sized mix ceviche is bomb. It's enough for about 4 people to share! The mini ceviche is perfect as a little appetizer before your meal. The enchiladas come with either red or green sauce which are both choices are amazing! The service is excellent and the prices are great! If you're in the neighborhood stop in! read more

Aahhh so this little hidden gem is in the mid valley of Oceanside next to a wonderfully shady bar that I like to frequent and other random business. I'll be honest I've only really had their mariscos, so I couldn't tell you about their burritos and regular Mexican food, but damn.... The ceviche - fish, shrimp or mixed has never ever let me down. The plates are always big and seafood seems fresh. The Costa Azul - well who the hell doesn't like bacon wrapped shrimp!! Comes with rice and beans, tortillas and a small salad. It's good! Mojarra Frita - if you dare eat a whole fried fish this thing did not disappoint. Love this one here and at some of my Asian spots. A great little place to get some mariscos with good service and food. read more

The mariscada plate with. Ceviche shrimp, oyster is the best value for a tastes of field ferment foods. My family enjoyed the margaritas as well as the fish tacos, Baja style. Although there was one server available, the waiting time is worth the food you are eating.i always return to this spot for the best seafood, thank you to the chef for all the time and effort they place on the food. We will continue coming back. read more

Ceviche was very good and very unique. We came back the next day and I had chili verde & we had ceviche again. Affordable and delicious. It's the same place! read more

Not professional, customer service was bad. Had dirty tables and when asked if they could clean a booth lady got upset and said just sit in a small table. Took me having to tell another waiter to sit in booth. He told waitress to clean up the booth. All waitresses were rude after we sat. No one ever checked on us. Food was not that great. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Stopped here for lunch with my cousins. They said it would be good and it didn't disappoint! It's not the best things you have ever had but it's pretty good. I ordered the brochetas de camarón. I wish it had been grilled a little better. Still very tasty. I just prefer some good grill marks. Ceviche was on point! So delicious! Very fresh. Best thing I tried. Quesadillas de camarón we very tasty too. Chips and salsa are decent. Nothing special. I had a margarita. It was very good, couldn't taste the alcohol but you could feel it read more

Serivce is atrocious - especially from the short older lady with the pulled back hair. My young son burned his tongue on the table salsa and we asked the waitress for water. She just stood there lile a robot wanting to take our order. I said we need water now. She left the table and started talking to another employee in the back. 5 mins later I walk up to the front counter and say DISCULPE NECESITAMOS UN BASO DE AGUA. She said ok. And then started to ring up a customer's bill at the register I spoke to her in both English and Spanish. She didn't care and did what she wanted. Our whole family got up from our table and walked out. If a business doesn't give a crap about it's customers, why should we patron said business. Evidently many others on Yelp have experienced the same, terrible service from this place. Shame too. This place did look pretty good. Oh well. Hopefully the owner will pay attention to the complaints and get rid of her. read more

No, just no... lady ar front taking my order was very sweet however she charged me for more food that i had ordered and yes i got the food as well, not sure if she got confused or simply just sold me extra shit. Camrones cucarachas were just not good at all.. they are not even fried they are steamed cooked. I was like, aren't these supposed to be fried ? She said no, you didn't read the menu there's cucarachas and there's ones that say deep fried shrimp. Deep fried cost more. I was like wtf... we tried one and threw the rest away... that's how bad they were. I ordered 4 tacos in total, i was charged for 8 and given 8. I told her the taco order like 4 times. Still didn't get it right. Carne asada torta was not the business.. tacos de carnitas looked as if meat had been sitting there for days and they finally sold a carnitas taco. We didn't eat it. Adobada taco... yeah, enough said. Carne asada was ok. Plate with 4 tacos looked like i had bought a cebolla and cilantro salad with tortillas.... I did however love the flavor and crisp sound of the canned coke soda i got there ! Very nice and cold ! Best item on the menu for sure. Save your time and money, there's way better places to go eat. read more

This place is so nasty got the aguachiles and shrimp tacos spit out everything. Never again!!!

I have been coming here for years. The food is good, the service is okay but what recently upset me is discovering the increase in price on the receipt vs the menu! I understand the increase in prices but invest in updating the menus to be completely transparent and not deceiving. read more

Rubbery seafood and over priced. First time here. Wanted to go to Mariscos Ensenada. Customer service wasn't great. Employee never came back after giving us our food to ask if we needed anything or offer more water or a refill on my soda. The medium size shrimp cocktail was in a small sunday cup. was $13.99 plus tax! Wasn't even loaded with avocado tomato or cilantro. Very plain. My husband's cocktail campechana had rubbery pulpo (octopus) and was served with one oyster on the side and it was warm. The cocktails weren't cold or fresh. His was $18.99!! Wasn't loaded with avocado or variety of seafood as it should be. We also orders the fish fillet. Picture shows a slab fillet. We were served one and a half small frozen tilapia filet. Beans weren't fresh and rice was bland no flavor. Extremely disappointing. Wasn't expecting it to be exactly like mariscos Ensenada but didn't expect it to be this horrible either, especially with a 4.2 rating on Google. Other customers were loud and obnoxious. Others were just families trying to enjoy dinner. Definitely not coming back. Would like my money back to be honest. ______________________________________________ Mariscos gomosos y caros. Primera vez aquí. Quería ir a Mariscos Ensenada. El servicio al cliente no fue excelente. El empleado nunca regresó después de darnos nuestra comida para preguntar si necesitábamos algo más agua o una recarga de mi refresco? El cóctel de camarones de tamaño mediano estaba en una pequeña taza. fue $ 13,99 más impuestos! Ni siquiera estaba cargado de tomate aguacate o cilantro. Muy simple. El cóctel campechana de mi esposo tenía pulpo gomoso (pulpo) y se servía con solo una ostra al lado y estaba tibio. Los cócteles no estaban fríos ni frescos. ¡El suyo era $ 18,99! No estaba cargado de aguacate o variedad de mariscos como debería ser. También pedimos el filete de pescado. La imagen muestra un filete grande. Nos sirvieron un pequeño filete y medio . Los frijoles no estaban frescos y el arroz no tenía sabor. Extremadamente decepcionante. No esperaba que fuera exactamente como los mariscos Ensenada, pero tampoco esperaba que fuera tan horrible, especialmente con una calificación de 4.2 en Google. Otros clientes eran ruidosos y desagradables. Otros eran solo familias que intentaban disfrutar de la cena. Definitivamente no volveré. Me gustaría que me devolvieran el dinero para ser honesto. read more

We were visiting from Michigan and really wanted an authentic Mexican dinner. Our hotel staff recommended Mariscos Huatulco. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our meal and the service was great! I ordered the chile verde pork and the dinner came with homemade flour tortillas. My companion, who is half Mexican said the rice reminded him of his long past mother's dish. He ordered shrimp tostadas. We both loved our meal and hope to return next time we visit Oceanside read more

Stopped there by chance. My general rule of thumb is to order the simplest dish when at a new restaurant. Ordered the Carne Asada plate and I wasn't disappointed. The beef was tender, juicy, and there was a generous amount. Service was great from seating, taking the orders, refilling drinks, etc. I'll definitely return there when I'm in the area again. read more
