What a hidden gem! The seafood was fresh and plenty of sauces to choose from to complement the food nicely. Mariscada was filling with delicious grilled shrimp and flavor. The shrimp and octopus ceviche was filling. The broth was kind of sweet and mixed well. There are a lot of tables & booths and it has a beach-esque vacation decor, chill l, sports on the TVs. read more

I enjoy this restaurant, maybe more than I should. The food is good, the service is good, and the ambiance is good. The grilled shrimp plate is the plate to get here. Nice huge shrimps that are grilled to near perfection. Oh, the shrimp ceviche is also really good! If you're craving some authentic Mexican flavor, this place will do, but it's not a place to drive far to get to. It's a place to eat at if you're nearby. read more

The service here is what really won me over. Everyone was so kind and it felt like family here. The food is comforting and focused on seafood. I really enjoyed their Shrimp Ceviche as it was fresh and tangy with a kick of spice. Definitely good to get a seafood platter to share. It comes with a variety including some fish. The also made it special by celebrating with an hearty flan that was nice and eggy too! The inside has a fun and playful seafood mural as well. It's a no frills space serving up comforting Mexican style seafood! read more

I was greeted immediately upon entry and the waitress was very patient as I asked several questions about the menu. I was a bit leary because I've been going to the same seafood restaurants. Since I was a little girl. There was this was the first time I went to a different Mariscos and I was very impressed. I will go back very soon. read more

Great Ceviche... But the Energy? Trash. I really wanted to love this place. The shrimp ceviche? Fresh, flavorful, and the portion was generous -- no complaints there. But let me tell you... the vibe was off from the moment I walked in. Cold energy. Not a smile in sight. The girl at the counter looked like helping customers was interrupting her day. She didn't greet me, barely made eye contact, handed me my receipt like it was trash, and didn't even say "thank you." Just turned right back to her convo like I wasn't standing there spending my money. It's wild -- the food said "Welcome!" but the staff said "Why are you here?" I should've trusted my GPS and gone to Tequilas Bar and Grill first. They actually made me feel seen, welcomed, and appreciated. Simple kindness goes a long way. This spot? Food's great... but if the energy doesn't match, I'm not coming back. read more

This is now Mariscos Cancun. We just moved to the valley and have been looking for a good mariscos spot (my credentials: I'm Mexican and grew up in SD & Playas and the mariscos down there are unbeatable). This place is genuinely pretty good and fresh! I'm sooo picky with my fish but we loved it. It tasted just like my abuela made it back in the day. The service is also Immaculate. Our waitress Yolanda is so sweet and attentive! Highly recommend you give this place a try! Support your local businesses! read more

Too Expensive for what the food we got, The Aguachiles and The camarones los arcos . Services is not all that great . Hot Michelada. Will not be coming back. read more

I've been coming to this place for over 10 years at both locations the food is incredible. Yolanda is amazing! I felt like my mom was serving me. So polite attentive goes above and beyond . I felt so at home. She made sure everything was perfect. The ambiance is typical . Forever my fave spot in the valley for Mariscos. read more

This place always hits the spot! And the service is fantastic. We used to live nearby and visit often. We moved away but still make the drive once in a while because it's that good. Everything is tasty but we usually go with the langostinos with garlic and a grilled fish with diabla sauce. All the fish is excellent but the trout is our go-to. There's a lot more we still need to try! Can't say enough about the excellent service. read more

Prices are different from the menu and the workers wont tell you until you get a outrageous charges. BEWARE. Do not recommend.

I been coming to this restaurant for years. I've recommended this restaurant to my friends and family and they love it. The mariscos are amazing, but you can't wrong with the authentic Mexican food. The servers are great and very attentive. You definitely have to come try the micheladas and mariscos. read more

The waitress was very nice, staff attentive and super friendly atmosphere. Food was delicious, big portions, 2 could share an entree. Will definitely be back and suggest to others. read more

Honestly I am so disappointed by this place, but I gave them 3 stars because of the waitress and the guacamole was good! I ordered the fajitas which were so disappointing! They added mushrooms which I am allergic to! Second the tilapia had no meat on it and the food was not fresh! As we were eating we noticed the chef opened up a freezer across from us and boom all the frozen seafood was taken out including the oysters! You should just go there for the chips and guacamole! read more

We had a great experience tonight. Not only was the food to die for but the servers were the absolute best. The salsa was a little too spicy for my wife so our server, Janet made her a mild version. How kind! She made the best salsa too, it was so good that we ate it with a spoon lol. She was also very helpful with the menu. Our Order: Grilled Snapper - the whole fish consisted of 4 fillets and it was DELICIOUS. Awesome flavor and Janet brought us a homemade sauce that was the perfect addition... sauteed onions and tomato. Shrimp & Octopus Cocktail - this was another one that I ate with a spoon and didn't even dip a chip or cracker because it was THAT good. Everything from the ambiance, chips, service, meals was perfect. We'll be back very soon. Thank you to the entire staff... especially Janet! read more

Service was great, the food was very fresh and well made. I ordered fish soup and it was really good. The waiter Giselle was very attentive and got our order right. There were 12 people in my group. I will definitely be back to try more dishes. read more

To be honest , I am not a huge fan of mariscos but the hubby is . I do love the consomé here !

The ambiance is nicely done and I even love the paintings in the bathrooms! read more

Just went in and ordered a chicken burrito (12.99) and Mojarra Frita (16.99) when the waitress asked if we would like to upgrade to the red snapper. We said yes thinking it would be a small upcharge of a few dollars. We expected a bill in the mid $30 range but come to find out that the red snapper that was "suggested" to us is DOUBLE THE PRICE and our bill came out to over $50! When I brought this up, the waitress just said sorry, it's the house special that's why it's so expensive, and when I asked why she didnt tell us it would be so much more expensive she just looked at me and said "sorry". If you are going to suggest food and up charge somebody for something, the least you can do is let them know that the food is so much more preposterously higher (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS DOUBLE THE PRICE!!!!). Absolutely ridiculous, make sure to ask prices before you order anything they suggest otherwise they'll just try to hike up your bill as high as possible. read more

Went to grab take out from this neighborhood seafood restaurant and man what a treat. Got their whole grilled fish (they had snapper that night) as well as their mixed seafood grill for one (a called a Parilla), this thing ended up feeding 3 people. The whole fish was all carte, but the Parilla came with rice. They also provided tortilla and salsa with chips. This was take out so I also loved that they prepared the food pretty fast from the time I called in to pick up was about 20 min which basically the time it took for me to drive over. The restaurant has a nice vibe, there were a few diners when I came so it was pretty chill. I think we'll have to plan for a dinner out when we want a quiet seafood dinner out. Check them out if you're in the Valley sometime! read more

Family and I were there for the 1st time last weekend. The staff was awesome, greeted us very well and was so attentive. The food was good, family of 10 , had a variety of plates. The best part was the cheesecake. read more

It was our first time eating here bc we were craving seafood. Omg this place is soooo good. We got the seafood mixta tostada (shrimp, octopus and abalone), grilled garlic bass, and shrimp tacos with beans and rice. We really wanted fresh tasty seafood and jeeze did they deliver. Everything was so flavorful. can't wait to come back! 10/10! Also everyone is so nice there. The servers always checked on us to make sure we were okay. An added plus is that they give you complimentary soup and fresh salsa with warm tortilla chips before you order. Thank you Mariscos Los Arcos! We'll be back soon! read more

Picked this place to take the MIL for mother's day. A 4 star place was bound to be at least decent. So NO, NOT REALLY. Agree with other reviews that guacamole was decent. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. Husband ordered the mixed fajitas and they were missing flavor and the was dry and chewy. I had the worst entree with the bread fish fillet. I guess I'm used to the moist and tender filet I guess at the Peruvian place I like. This was a really big fish stick! Thin, dry, and flavorless. No amount of lemon, salsa or guac could salvage it. Really disappointing. Also, horchata was watered down but at least there are free refills. Meh! Won't be back. read more

The food and service is always fantastic. However the prices seem on the high side for a mom and pop joint.

I almost liked my meal here - almost --- but the atmosphere was creepy - and the place was empty - and the order was messed up. I wouldn't be so critical - but I brought my girlfriend her as our first meal out together when she came to see me in LA - and I needed this place to make her love eating food in Los Angeles - and it did not do that. She politely said that the meal was okay - but she let me know over and over again afterwards that she did not like LA's Mexican food. And it was not cheap. This should have been a better meal for the price. read more

"Never judge a restaurant by it's exterior appearance because this place proved me wrong." Why: The service by the owner and our server Yolanda was by far the best I have experienced in such a long time! Yolanda consistently proved to go above and beyond throughout the duration we were there. Ironically, I watched the owner change the TV station when a family with kids came in to eat (he changed it to a cartoon station for the kids to enjoy their stay). The food was also amazing and I was just in "awe" of the service! A fan and they have simply gained a new customer with their superb service! read more

Loved this place! The customer service is out of this world here. I felt right at home the minute I walked in. The owner is beyond hospitable and friendly- we're giving him all the stars, he made us feel like royalty! The food is four stars and the prices are decent, the restaurant itself is very clean and all the waitresses/customer service staff are all wearing masks so that is a plus plus! We were served a 7 Mares soup before our order came (so tasty!) It was a very hot day so we went with a campechana and the agua chiles. Very good Great job, Mariscos Corona, you guys are awesome! Will be coming back soon. read more

They're open during this COVID-19 and have set up and open outdoor area outside that's so pretty. It looks almost like a casual garden with little chairs and tables. The food was delicious and most of all seafood was fresh. The staff is super friendly, inviting and warm. The owner came out to greet us and ask if everything was ok. Such a sweet quaint place. We went during lunchtime. I really recommend the Campechana (all seafood). I had never seen such a nice presentation of a campechana. read more

Word of advice: Do not go to a mariscos restaurant and order chicken. What's up with that? The place is called Mariscos Los Arcos; on the sign it says "cocteles y marisicos." I don't speak Spanish but I am going to assume that means "Cocktails and Seafood." And when a place states their specialty in their name, then order their specialties. I normally go to a place a few times before I review but I was so impressed with the service and the food that I decided to share my experience. - chips and salsa and pico de gallo: yummy... where the adage goes that you can tell a good restaurant by their bread, this adage can go with tortilla chips and salsa with Mexican restaurants. complimentary soup- good way to clear your palette for the rest of the meal. - guacamole- thumbs up! very fresh and made with quality ingredients. - raw oysters- OMG... so fresh. with a dash of hot sauce and lime, i can easily order a second round - tostada de ceviche- again, fresh and light. tortilla stayed crisp til the last bite - fish taco- this is not your ordinary fried battered fish. they added their sauce and fixings to it. - shrimp tacos dorado- highly recommended! -michelada made with modelo negro- refreshing and not too salty. a bit watered down but it's okay. i was still content with it. they are so super friendly and accomodating, always checking up on us and seeing what we needed. the ambiance is for families. it's not super fancy but cozy enough to sit back and watch a soccer game with good food We are definitely coming back here to try the rest of the menu... and definitely for the fresh raw oysters and drinks. that alone is something that will bring me back. Los Arcos is a nice surprise beause it is nondescript . read more

Wow! I had been looking for a marisco place that wasn't full of young drunks! I found this place on Yelp of course! The staff was very friendly and was able to take our drink order right away. She also brought us complimentary chips and salsa along with veggie soup! Delicious! She was somewhat attentive through out our visit. The decor is very Nayarit style. Very cute. They have TVs on each end of the place. I had the camarones aguados which are like "agua chiles" my all time favorite marisco dish. Amazingly delicious. So spicy, lemony and just PERFECT! So far best ones I've had. I also had a tostada mixta which is shrimp, scallops and octopus. Which was also delicious and very packed. I love places that stack on the good stuff! My bf had ceviche de camaron and he also liked it. We had modelo micheladas and they were just okay. But as long as the food was great that's all that matters. Will definitely keep coming back for more read more
