It would take a lot to improve . we tried to order shrimp fajitas and you said no you can't do just shrimp. Try to order just chili Riano you said no it has to be chilly Rito and enchilada that's bullshit. There were no chips with the order and I thought it was flavorless. read more

Coming to La Ceiba is always a great meal and a great time. The service is unlike Dos Compadres where they do not even acknowledge the patron to have them be seated. I took a picture of the waitress, she is absolutely wonderful!! Her service is friendly and warm. We had not been in a while, and I'm so glad we came back. The bar area is fantastic looking and so are the drinks. I hope this establishment gets more foot traffic because the food is beyond delicious! read more

Excellent service ! Great food and not too expensive. Don't understand why they don't have 5 star? I'm a very good cretic and I really like to be honest when I make a review. This place is amazing and the food is so Mexican authentic. Definitely recommend this spot. Oh man I took a video on IG . Next time I come I'll post one. read more

We stopped by on a Thursday night because they close around 10:30. The restaurant was pretty empty so we were seated immediately and service was quick. I ordered the asada with shrimp plate and the meat was very well seasoned. My wife got a cóctel de camarón and she really enjoyed it. I'll definitely come back on a weekend for lunch/dinner. They have a stage so it seems like they have live performances. Food: 3.5 Service: 5 read more

We used to come to this location when it was a Chinese Restaurant. We were sad to see it go. However, I am excited to try Mariscos la Ceiba! It always seems packed when we drive by, especially on the weekends. We stopped by today to look at the menu for next time. The restaurant has a big open feel to it. Plenty of room to get around. The gentleman I spoke to (in English and my limited Spanish) was very courteous and easy to talk with. He gave us a menu to look at and I wish I would have snapped some photos to share, like he suggested. The menu is pretty big, lots of items to choose from. Plus, they have daily (weekday) specials listed on the front doors inside. I posted a photo of it, in English and Spanish. Most dishes without a special are about twenty dollars each. I believe they have live music on the weekends. It was pretty calm when I walked in earlier today. Will be back! read more

What a neat place! We happened upon this place as it seemed to be the only place open on Easter that looked good. There were plenty of cars in the parking lot so we thought it must be good. We heard very loud music and someone signing into a microphone in Spanish. It seemed very upbeat upon entering, we needed a cheerful happy place that day as we are dealing with the recent loss of a family member. We had no idea what we were going to experience. Everyone was having a good time. The performer was interacting with everyone, it was so much fun. The food was made fresh and it was delicious. It takes awhile for the food but it's worth the wait, no problem. We talked with a few people there and they asked if we had been there before, nope, but they had been there a few times and enjoyed it. We will definitely be back. read more

What can I say, La Ceiba hit a little different. I just get some ceviche and maybe a drink or two. But La Ceiba gets loud and it's like an entertainment restaurant. It's get lit. Very impressive. Huge, got a stage and everything. Check it out. read more

Mariscos La Ceiba - Ceviche Cameron - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

I visited this place recently and was extremely disappointed. I ordered a shrimp dish that was served completely raw. When I told the server I didn't want raw shrimp, she told me "that's how it comes" and refused to take it back or offer any kind of replacement. I explained that serving raw shrimp can be dangerous due to the risk of bacteria and foodborne illness, but she didn't seem to care and still charged me the full amount. Luckily, I didn't get sick--but I found it unacceptable that they would serve shrimp that raw and not even attempt to make the situation right. In my experience, ceviche--even in Mexico--is prepared with shrimp that's been cooked or at least properly cured in citrus. This shrimp looked freshly cut and completely uncooked. Even sushi restaurants usually don't serve shrimp that raw. Beyond that, the service was spotty. No one offered to substitute the dish, apologize, or discount the meal. I still paid and even left a tip, but I left feeling very disappointed. I won't be back--and honestly, I've never been a huge fan of mariscos to begin with, and this experience just sealed it for me. read more

Service was horrible... took them forever to bring our drinks, didn't even bring us waters while we waited. Hot asf, the waitress said only half the place had ac. They also just put out drinks wherever they didn't ask who ordered what drink. She never came and asked if everything was ok. We waited more than 20 mins to see if we needed more drinks. Then I had to go ask for boxes and the tab cause she wasn't coming to the table.. BAD SERVICE!!!!!!!!!! food was good though. And I also I had called earlier in the day to see if they had Banda the guy said yes they would start at 6pm and they didn't even show up.. read more

Waiter was rude, didn't get chips i had to go ask for them after 15-20 minutes. When I went to ask if I can get them she seem upset about it, all other tables had chips and salsa Except my table. Many places to go eat and I came to the worst place. Place wasnt even that busy so she was able to ar least had a decent service. read more

The food was delicious. I had asada Sope. It was a lot bigger than I was anticipating so I also got two tacos the sope was crispy but also soft in the inside loaded with meat. The homemade tortillas are good and they actually load the taco up with meat! Service was just as good and the food! Very tentative and friendly! They have a stage. I'm sure this place will be fun on nights they have live music! read more

My husband picked up some food yesterday and I was craving seafood so we decided to order from here. We went to a baile a few months back but never ordered food just drinks but looked delicious. It was not!! We got the camarones cucaracha; it tasted like chipotle and chile guajiro with no flavor. The empanadas de camarón were not cooked. The only thing that was slightly good was the sushi. I did ask if the seaweed can be removed and they said "that's how it comes". I've been going to sushi restaurants my entire life and that's the first time I've ever been told that; they always do soy paper or no paper. For $74 I expected better food. Never again ordering. read more

I don't where to start; the music was too loud, the flies kept circling our food, and someone decided that during the dinner hour it was a good idea to pour out some ammonia cleaning solution that overwhelmed the air. The highlight was a very pleasant staff who did a great job serving. However the food was mediocre and not worth a second try. read more

I came here for midget wrestling a while ago and I paid $60 for 2 early admission seats. Not only did we get let in 15 mins later than they said but when I sat down at the table I was blocked by people standing. Why would I pay $60 to be blocked by general admission read more

I never give bad reviews but this place was a terrible experience. The music was so insanely loud our group could not even converse. Food was OK, service very slow. Sorry not one we would recommend. read more

Service is great a lively large open area could use a little more air, but, the Food and Service made up for all that really pleased with MARI our server the best server. Attentive and on point‼ The live band music was starting. It sounds like it's gonna be a huge night tonight Fourth of July weekend. !! read more

We had some time to kill and decided to try a place we'd never been before. I'm so glad we did. We learned they entertain with a live band three nights a week. The food is great. The staff is so friendly and quick with the service. There is plenty of seating and plenty of parking. If you get too tipsy, there is a hotel conveniently right behind the restaurant! read more

Mariscos La Ceiba - Molcajete! - Seafood Near Me - Modesto, California

Hubby and I went to this restaurant on Cinco De Mayo and we had a good time listening to the mariachi band and enjoying each other over a nice meal and drinks. As soon as we walked in we were immediately taken to our table and greeted by the owner! I can't begin to tell you how well the service was. I didn't get a pic of my husband's meal but he loved the birria tacos with the tasty gravy to dip it in. We made our minds up after eating here that we would be going here often for Mexican food in Modesto. Try this location out, trust me you will NOT be disappointed! read more

This is a brand new Family style Marisco restaraunt. The food was fresh and tasty, better than most in the area. The service was also very professional and timely. The interior is newly remodeled. There are plenty of tables a large stage with start of the art audio and lighting. This place is scheduled to have live Banda on Friday and Saturday nights. I feel this is a much needed place in this area, I look to see it grow. Lastly the owners are on site and very nice. read more

The food here really is delicious ,the quality of their meat and the way it's cooked is appreciated ,for example their asada burritos don't have overcooked overly seasoned meat ,it's sliced right with nice size chunks so when I bite the burrito I can actually feel the meat ,their Birria tacos are nicely grilled and crunchy as most restaurants claim "grilled to perfection" ,but they all fail .. this restaurant is GREAT! I hope they keep the same quality as they become make established because the a new restaurant.. The ladies that work here are very friendly even though some don't speak English but that's ok! They have great work ethic ! read more

Recently attended an event with about 200 people. The food service was severely lacking. They lacked experience and organization of food handling and delivery. Over two hours waiting for food. Several elderly people, some with diabetes, waited even longer. Food served cold. They did not know who ordered what. To improve, need organization, cooks should not start cooking for a large event after guests arrive, new manager read more

Presentation was nice and the restaurant had nightclub vibe. Live music on a Sunday and most likely a DJ on weekend nights . The food was presented well, however, for a sixty dollar cocktail I believe the cucumber and onion filler was a bit much. Cocktail consisted of two shrimp skewers, some sliced octopus and a few slices of shrimp along mixed in with a lot of cucumber and onion to fill in the rest of the cup and plate. It was also topped off with shredded mango on top. The flavor was decent nothing special as far as Mariscos go except for the oyster shots everything else was a bit bland. read more

Food is great! Service is 50/50 sometimes they're low staffed but worth it for the food and drinks!

The service was horrible. Food was cold and wasn't fresh. I'm really disappointed for my first time coming here.

My sister ordered chicken fajitas. It was served as a plate of Luke warm chicken. Rice was $7 beans $8 tortillas $4.50 no sour cream no salsa. I could not order nachos because they were out of nachos. "Full" bar but no wine. I will be very very surprised if this restaurant is still in business in 6 months. read more

If I can give this place zero stars I would. Services sucks and can't even talk even when you are screaming trying to talk to the person next to you. Save yourself time and never come here. read more

Horrible service matter fact we weren't even served when we first walked in they handed us the menus then never returned, I even got up to ask the server to tend to our table after waiting a long time, after trying to communicate w the server they still never came, communication in this place is very hard bc the music was too loud, I had to scream jus to speak to the person next to me, after waiting over 30 minutes to be served we ended up just leaving it was a group of 6 of us, all entered excited and left very disappointed. read more

Came in and waited to be helped they didn't come after 30 minutes so we left. Servers were rude

Great space great service and food. I'm looking forward to a night of party and dancing here.

Went to this restaurant last night cause a buddy was playing in a band. No one came over to ask me if I wanted to order anything to eat. I had to get up and go to the bar to order my dinner and what a mistake. My meal was delivered while I was talking to a friend at another table. When I got back to my seat I noticed I was given a big spoon and knife. No fork or napkin was left. Had to get up and go ask for them. Started eating my meal and realized I wasn't given any hand made tortillas that was part of the meal. Went back to the bar requesting the tortillas and was told they don't come with the meal. While eating I looked at the menu again. Under the dinner menu it clearly showed that rice, beans, and tortillas were part of all the meals listed below that statement, which included my meal. Went back to the bar and asked for the manager. The man I was dealing with before informed me that he was the manager. I had to point out to him what the menu stated!!! He didn't apologize or offer any compensation to me. This place is a BAD joke!! The food is not good and the customer service is horrible! Don't waste your money on this place. read more

The octopus was so hard we couldn't even bite it, The consomé that came with the quesavirias was so salty and when I told them they just added water. Service was good but the food could get better,the service was overall good but for the price should have been better.and there were an awful lot of flies. read more
