Ordered off of GrubHub tonight. I grabbed my order and thought, woah this feels heavy.. For a $7 shrimp ceviche tostada, they don't skimp. I actually went back and forth on whether I wanted to order two but it turns out one was perfect. It came with a bag of chips, two house salsas, a bag of fresh limes, crackers, tapatío and mayonnaise. Get this- the ceviche was mostly shrimp too! Not all cucumber & tomato filler like a lot of places do. The ceviche was delicious too. Very bright, fresh, and tangy. The Gobernador taco was delicious too. Full of melted cheese and delicious plump shrimp. I think this place gets slept on, it's so good. I've been there with friends and would suggest the enchilado taco too. read more

Should've listen to the comments. I rarely leave bad reviews, but the service here was genuinely terrible. We sat down and ordered a grapefruit Jarrito, only for the waitress to tell us they were out--and then I watched her hand one to another table minutes later. On top of that, the owner personally walked up to a neighboring table to give them complimentary chips and salsa, while our table was completely ignored and never received any. It took 20 minutes just to get our drinks. For food, we ordered ceviche and a shrimp cocktail. Since these are both cold dishes that require no actual cooking time, we didn't expect a massive delay. However, after waiting 40 minutes--and watching a table that sat down 10 minutes after us get their hot food served first--our dishes never arrived. At that point, we had enough. We paid for our drinks and walked out. Unbelievably poor service and blatant favoritism. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

This place is very dirty and I ordered water and it had mold in it. The service is very odd had to ask for everything like napkins and stuff. When the waiter brought out chips she swung and salsa got on my friends leg...... never going back again read more

We were craving mariscos and found Mariscos Mazatlán on Yelp. When we got there we decided to dine in, but that turned out to be a mistake. The restaurant had a DJ booth and the music was extremely loud. So loud that my wife and I couldn't even have a conversation. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to ask for our food to go. Unfortunately, the food wasn't much better. I ordered the camarones cucaracha and they were very overcooked, almost like the shrimp had been deep fried. They were dry and had no sauce I was disappointed. My wife ordered a tostada de aguachiles verdes. The flavor was okay, but it seemed like the cucumbers weren't properly washed or peeled, and they didn't try to wash the shrimp it was also dirty. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Between the loud atmosphere and the food quality, we won't be coming back. They definitely need to improve their food quality. read more

Mariscos Mazatlan - Very dry over cook shrimp. - Seafood Near Me - Escondido, California

Terrible service. Completely unacceptable. We waited over 40 minutes for our order. The drinks arrived incomplete, and when we finally thought our food was coming, the server casually told us there was "no coconut for the shrimp" -- after 40 minutes of waiting. At that point, we had no choice but to cancel the entire order. I still paid for the drinks (two sodas and one bottled water), and we did not even receive an apology, which is the bare minimum in a situation like this. Clearly, management was either absent or indifferent. This place shows zero respect for customers' time and has no basic standards of service. Absolutely not recommended. read more

When we went we were the only table at that particular time. It started to pick up as we were leaving. The music is perfect it makes you feel as if you are at a restaurant on the plyas and there is a groupo playing. It has a semi modern look to the dining area. The food was good the chips and salsa come pre seasoned and we're quite delectable. The food we got wasn't spicy. I wish there was a bit more spice to the dishes but they were still good. Overall, there are a few mariscos restaurants in Escondido and while this isn't the best it is not the worst either. It's worth a visit. read more

Went in for my first time to get rid of my seafood cravings, the one item I wanted to get was ACTUALLY on the Menu and such an important one, I'm glad I had the Mojarra frita it was perfect. The service was great and the ambiance was awesome. Also tried the camarones revueltos and a michelada. Easily a great spot to go for lunch if you want some seafood! read more

I came in Thursday and the owner Hector was great. I just turned 21 and he advised me to get a Pacifico and I fell in love with it! I got some oysters which is also another thing I have never tasted.

These guys get the 4 for the cooking quality. Calamari / octopus is a hit or miss for a lot of places but both it and the shrimp in the cocktail were nicely cooked. No chewyness. That is a big plus in my book. The ambience and space inside is ample, the view is nice too, even for it just overlooking the street. Nothing I tried screamed crazy good, but they were ok. They know what they're doing, maybe choosing other items could give me better luck. read more

Came to this place in hope of some good birria on a Sunday morning, so we decided to try theirs out. The staff was really friendly which is why I decided to give 3 stars instead of 2. The birria on the other hand was not great. It was full of fat, in fact it was mostly fat, and I felt grossed out looking at all the pieces of fat floating. We also tried the quesatacos and they were also mostly fat and the meat was really dry and unflavorful. I would say skip on the birria at this place. Update: changed from 3 stars to 2 stars bc me and my boyfriend both got sick the same night and threw up read more

This place has quickly become the wife and I's new favorite taco shop! They have a pretty good and simple menu, but the guac, salsa, tacos are legit! The music is loud and sometimes they have a small Mariachi that come through and play at your table. Definitely a family place, the wait and service staff are friendly and polite! Franco read more

So today i came in with my family to try this resturant for the first time, i ordered 2 mojacetes 2 tacos at first the place looked nice , however 20 min after ordering our food and being seated the waiter comes to my table only to tell me that they do not have the mocajete. I was shocked that it took them 20 min just to let me know that they didnt have what i wanted, i ordered something else instead and waited another 40 min for them to bring out 2 tacos and then waited another 20 min just to recieve my main entree, they forgot the tortillas and a soda asked for 3 boxes gave me two waited 5 more minuets for the last box paid 80$ and wont be coming back. I reccommed terramar mexican kitchen instead read more

At Mariscos Mazatlan they bring the booming Ranchera music straight from the Escondido Swap meet right into their dining room! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/37iH21qhsdwC6W2NnRD4Bw?select=sQftbRAOTRLxO4y8nlcoJA The Grub.. Enchiladas - Nice Dark Orange hue to their enchilada sauce "oil". Chicken enchiladas contained Pollo Asado rather than shredded chicken. It was very good actually. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/37iH21qhsdwC6W2NnRD4Bw?select=yyW-Q6W5XYadO4s9ESx70Q Steak Ranchero - Love their Ranchero sauce. It had a nice savory kick to it. They were generous with their steak too, especially at this price. You'll pay twice as much for less steak at corporate chains like "On The Toilet". http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/37iH21qhsdwC6W2NnRD4Bw?select=BwlxY6oCYE8FrdCirT_yQA - Good prices, no meals appeared to be over 6.95. - Cash Only - People occasional "vocally participated" during some of the ballads blasting from the Ranchera Juke Box. read more

This may be my new "go to" spot! Just left here and I loved it! Food was amazing, service was just as great, and the drinks were even better! They greeted us promptly and brought chips and salsa. We ordered 2 micheladas, which were pretty damn good. And it just so happened to be buy 1 get 1 free! How cool is that. My boyfriend and I each ordered the campechana, which contained the usual, shrimp, octopus and oyster. The seafood was fresh and let me tell you, they are not skimpy on the seafood! There was a lot in there. We also ordered the cucarachas which was just as great, especially their green salsa that it had came with. I left this place happy, stuffed and buzzed, what more could you ask for? Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and I for sure will be back! read more

If im being honest, the customer service was definitely there, the 2 girls who were taking my family's order and checking in on us were very kind. However, it's a very small restaurant, no AC and the food took SOOOOOOO long to come out, we waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food to come to our table. We weren't the only ones who were frustrated there was about 3 other families who continued going up to the counter to ask how much of a longer wait there was for the food. When the food arrived it wasn't even warm, so that was concerning, considering we waited a long period for hot food. Portion sizes were regular serving sizes, not cheap on the meat or too much. They had a DJ playing music inside the restaurant and he was playing the music ridiculously LOUD, im used to hearing loud music at any other restaurants but the music was too loud the tables were vibrating. I unfortunately will not be returning due to my bad experience. read more

Today I went to try this place for the first time. I have lived in in this town for 14 yrs never tried it, but it kept popping up on my IG. We were going to order all you can eat tacos but they were out of birria, so my son got shrimp quesadilla there was lots of shrimp and I got 2 tacos nothing to rave about. Next no Modelo beer so I got a Pacifico. My youngest got teriyaki chicken and it was drenched in sauce! The kicker I order two strawberry lemonades. When my kids drank all their lemonade our waitress asked would you like another lemonade. I was shocked when I saw my bill said $16 for lemonade! She said well I asked if you wanted another one I didn't say a refill! Any place that I have gone to one they always say.... we don't off refill on this drink because it's fresh we charge you full price and it's also noted on the menu. I wrote she can take my refill money for her tip I will never return! read more

We walked out after waiting 25 minutes. 4 other people in Resturant. She didn't care about anything. Handed a menu tome with food all over it. I've gotten food Togo before and it was good-probably a year ago. We will not return. read more

My family and I are not satisfied with the service here. First off, I asked for ice water multiple times and they either brought warm water, or none. Additionally the food was unsatisfactory, and late in some cases. Customer service could be much friendlier. read more

We Ate here on a Sunday at 2pm. PROS: food is really good CONS: super slow in kitchen (it took 25 minutes for our food to arrive) They brought my birria first (tasted amazing), then literally waited another 10 minutes for my husband's order. (Horrible when restaurants do that) The servers are incorrectly trained to constantly clear off your table wayyyy too soon. She Took my beer before I could finish it, and took my leftovers before asking if I was going to pack them to-go. DJ music was too loud (people had to yell to each other from across the table) I witnessed 3 men order drinks, the waitress heard them wrong (because of loud music), brought them wrong drinks, and attempted to take their food order, but the men paid for drinks and walked out instead (yelling that they Couldn't hear anything and obviously neither could she) If I could talk to the manager I'd tell him that the food is really good, but he needs to hire a quality control manager that would have turned down the music, and retrained his staff. read more

Let me try and make this long story short. I was told I had to wait 40 mins for a coconut with seafood. The table after us, who ordered almost the same thing as us was served first. I tried to pay for only our drinks so we could just leave, they said food was almost ready. We needed condiments and they came after we finished the food. I ordered no snails, my coconut had snails. And to top it of they tried charging me an 18% tip..NEVER GOING BACK! read more

Overall I really liked the place. They have a fairly extensive seafood menu and the prices are reasonable. On the minus side, the wait staff seemed to touch their hair and faces a lot and continued to serve food without washing their hands. Also, someone that I presume to be a manager. Was wiring up the TV sets for a boxing match later on on the evening....he was using service counters to stand on right beside the bear glasses. Neither he nor the staff bothered to wipe down the counter tops afterwards.!they need refresher courses in sanitation.... some might say I was being picky but being the a restaurant industry, I am always watching for potential contamination causes. read more

Came here in a Monday night to try this place out for the first time. Was immediately seated me and my two guest. very clean environment and well spaced out. We proceed to get our drinks and food all in a timely manner. The food was delicious, I had a little bit of everything and it definitely worth coming back for. The tacos are made of handmade tortillas that gives it a different taste. Our waiter/bartender was the best as well, constantly checking on us to make sure everything was great. The Mariscos and general were fresh and with a lot of flavor. Definitely will bring back family and friends read more

Under new management recently and I can say they are doing a great job! All their tacos had handmade tortillas. The fish taco was nicely battered without being too bready while the Mole with chicken taco was deliciously spiced and served with beans AND rice. Things to try: UNLIMITED all you can eat tacos on Tuesdays for $6 All drinks are bottled as they don't have a drink fountain yet, but they also have cold "aguas frescas". read more
