    The seafood boil laid out with the sauce bowled up for dipping.
    Megan C.

    I was on the hunt for a good seafood boil and this place hit the mark! They are always busy which shows how good they are. The staff is friendly. There so many options on the menu. It was so yummy!

    A simple looking shop with not so simple flavors. This place has all the mariscos greats and does them well. There is also a large drink menu with good prices (heavy pours) and nonalcoholic options. We loved our ceviche, Cajun crab boil, and shrimp in a creamy sauce dishes and kept looking at what other tables ordered. Everything tasted fresh, well sauced, and well seasoned. Our waiter was kind and helpful. We can't wait to go back and try so much more.

    Very casual, small dining room. The tables are very small. We almost could not get all of our food on the table, The drinks are very good!! I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and we shared the seafood tower. Everything was very fresh and tasted great!

    This place has been on my list to try for a while, so I was excited when my buddy decided for us to go here after work. The setting is very casual. We started off with a Michelada flight, which was a nice sampler of three different styles. I then ordered a seafood tower (torres). It comes with a good variety of seafood, and the portion is very generous. The only downside is that the server was a little pushy to take our order, when we were trying to have some conversation instead of ordering within the first 2-5 minutes. Trying fresh seafood in the middle of the country can be a gamble, but this place does it well. I will have to come back with the wife and try some of their other options.

    Great shrimp dishes

    Out hitting estate sales in Johnson County, when we looked up nearby restaurants and saw this described as Creole. I would call this more Mexican seafood. So no shrimp poboy. Still a nice find. On weekends they don't have a lunch menu. It was one of the most expensive lunch I have had in awhile. Came to $60.00 with 12.00 tip: $72.00. But the wife and I got great dishes with enough leftovers for a second meal.

    Wow! Mariscos offers a variety of food a bev options with kick. Me and a couple of girlfriends came and were pleasantly surprised not only by the quality of the food, but the price of it as well! We each had two cocktails and a crab boil each for under $100! Our server was kind and took excellent care of us! We sat at one of the patio tables outside, but the bar inside was adorable and the place, though small, was gorgeous. The hot is hot! I will be getting the medium seasoning on my boil next time LOL!

    Ceviche Tostada

    If you love seafood and Mexican food this is the place. My son ordered the chicken fajitas they were full of flavor and a huge portion. I had a shrimp cocktail and a ceviche tostada they were the best I've had in KC. The service was also exceptional.

    What an unexpected find on our Friday night search for a dinner option. We had some late afternoon errands & were hungry so we decided on finding something near the area we were in and through Yelp found Mariscos KC. Let's just say we are not hesitating to go back. We focused on the Cajun options with my husband getting the Shrimp Boil & I worked hard on the Crawfish Boil. We are not strangers to Seafood Boils and their base is the best we've ever had. The servers were smiling, friendly and efficient; especially Jenny who took great care of us. We like to sit at the bar especially a new place. It's a great to get to know the staff and how well a place runs and she is a great ambassador for the place. She insisted to come back and sit at the bar so she can take of us again Be sure to give this place a try and don't leave without trying their pineapple ice cream! Until next time.

    Ordered the seafood boil and crab boil.

    Flavors on the seafood boil was amazing. The seafood itself is good. The potatoes are soft and the corn was sweet. You can tell this is frozen seafood but we will definitely come back!

    Can't remember...some tequila cocktail

    Ok, so I've been wanting to try Marisocos for a while and we finally were able to make it one Friday night in March. It was a beautiful evening and it was quite crowded inside, so we opted to sit outside...and kinda froze as the evening progressed (would not be remiss if they added heaters outside). Even though it was so crowded, our waitress took the time to help us figure out drinks an food options. I wanted to try their cocktails...sadly I cannot remember what I ordered. I wanted something less sweet and it was what was recommended...unfortunately, I was not a fan. Not because it was a bad, but I freely admit to being a snob when it comes to cocktails. Even though it wasn't as sweet...still waaaaaay too sweet for me. That being said, the food was far and away much better. I loved the calamari strips! Something similar but different to the traditional calamari starters you get...and they came out piping hot!! So YAY! He ordered the chicken tacos (boring LOL) but loved them so of course, always a win! I had the Molcajete Caliente - OMG the broth was delicious (like trying to drink with a straw delicious) and everything was perfectly cooked. My only complaint was that it wasn't spicy enough. Of course that was easily remedied by the hot sauces on the table ;). They also provided tostadas with the Molcajete so I was in a very messy heaven.

    Very quaint spot, with not just a comprehensive seafood menu of Mexican dishes but other entrees of Cajun and Asian origins. We sat past finishing our meal enjoying the music genres of The staff was very attentive and if service with a smile was their motto.. they'd get an A+! They were poppin with every table occupied but we felt like the best customer! I relished in the flavors of the Shrimp Cocktail - mounds of shrimp!!

    This review is for the new location in Shawnee, Kansas because they do not have their new location listed yet. My husband and I went for their soft opening several weeks ago. The space is nicely redone and is very clean and bright. We were greeted immediately and sat immediately, but it took a long time for the waitress to come over and take our order, even though there were many servers just standing around the bar. I ordered the fajitas and my husband ordered their shrimp fried rice. The fajitas were just average, the portions were good size. I did appreciate their homemade guacamole. My husband said that his shrimp fried rice was pretty good and he ordered extra shrimp as well. They have an extensive menu and a variety of alcohol alcoholic beverages. The food came out in a decent amount of time from someone from the kitchen. I just feel like their service is lacking and they never checked back upon needing anything except to bring the check.

    Merritt M.

    The service was highly attentive and so kind. Some wanted to try a seafood boil and they did not disappoint. She loved it all! There were also lots of things that looked great and the plating of everything was very eye catching!

    Tacos don't just have to be a Tuesday thing and margaritas shouldn't be limited to happy hours…read more K Macho's serves up the TexMex pretty well and pretty consistently. Your bowl of chips is rarely empty for long (especially for a glutton like me) and meals are delivered hot & ready. It's a big space, and when the place is packed, there is a LOT of service traffic on the floor. Wait times are usually not bad and the tables turn quickly with all of the help happening. The food is good, maybe not great. But it's not far from great and if you ordered something that would be delivered hot, then you can be sure that it will be served VERY hot. A plate of carnitas runs about $16, comes with tortillas, and is served very hot. K Machos makes a sensational traditional carnitas plate, and this is one of those top shelf items to try. If you want a taco salad or standard TexMex plate, then you get the good level. K Machos has a great drink menu and great drink specials. Their house marg runs $10 for the big schooner, or you can get several varieties of fruit in a frozen margarita version. Mango marg, anyone? Service is great, location is great, food is pretty good overall, and the drinks are great. It's definitive worth the stop in Olathe.

I started with the jalapeño margarita, but honestly downed it before I even remembered to take a photo. My second was easily my favorite: their masterfully crafted Mango Margarita which felt like a fiesta going down. For dinner, I ordered the Combo #4 (tamale, pork burrito, and crispy beef taco). They were kind enough to swap in a deep-fried taco for free, and since I'm a habitual chip-dipper, I happily doubled down on the refried beans to satiate my dipping cravings. One friend had the skirt steak and raved about how tender it was and how nicely it was plated. I was able to get a quick pic before it disappeared from his plate! One small quirk: they don't keep salt and pepper on the tables, so you'll need to ask for them. Our server also seemed a little eager to rush us out the door even though the restaurant wasn't very busy.(we weren't having any of that and me especially after two margaritas, haha), but overall, great food and standout margaritas make this an easy spot to revisit!

And I don't make multiple return visits to restaurants where I don't enjoy the food and the service. The restaurant is tucked away down what appears to be an industrial street where you wouldn't expect to find a sit-down restaurant. Because of this you won't accidentally discover it while you're out on a Saturday afternoon drive. I'm certain the location hurts their business as it has other failed restaurants that have occupied the same space in the past. But if you go to the trouble of finding it, you'll be happy you did. There are a few "Mexican" restaurants in this area of town, but this is a "Tex-Mex" restaurant, which I prefer.

Sadly a soft option or corn option was not offered to us. Even though we dined around 1230, the restaurant was empty. Only one other table was occupied with guests. The hostess was even eating while working which didn't make for a very welcoming ambiance.
