    I got a tip about Mariscos Nayarit, a newer Mexican seafood spot off East W.T. Harris and Albemarle, and I'm glad I checked it out. I was invited in by Pedro, the manager, and while my meal was hosted, these thoughts are my own. Staff was well-compensated and the food delivered. Inside is bright and full of ocean-themed murals, greenery, and upbeat Latin music. The menu is huge, with photos for every item, which made ordering easy without needing to Google anything. I started with chips, salsa, and queso. All solid. The Ribeye Brasas was next: steak and zarandeado shrimp with grilled veggies and a surprisingly great baked potato. The inside was mashed, creamy, and loaded with bacon and sour cream. The steak was seared perfectly and the shrimp had that smoky open-fire flavor. They also brought out a wild dish called the "Tendedero" -- steak, corn on the cob, shrimp clipped to a clothesline, and a seafood stew served in a flaming cast iron bowl with clams, mussels, shrimp, calamari, and more. It was dramatic, flavorful, and a lot of fun. I don't drink, but they showed me their over-the-top cocktails. One came in a glowing hippo bowl with a rubber duck. Another was served in a purse. There was also a piña colada so tall it needed a lifeguard. I passed them to other guests who were more than happy to enjoy them. If you miss the flavor of spring break in Cancun, this is your vibe. Servers may speak limited English, so bring a translator app. Think of it like a real-life Duolingo session. The reward is great seafood. Fun atmosphere, kind staff, and big portions. Definitely one of my new favorite full-service Mexican restaurants in Charlotte. I'll be back. Follow me for more local food spots: instagram.com/charlottefoodieguy

    Listen! I have been searching high and low for a place that has basa fish and this place not only…read morehas basa but damn near every other fish you can think of. Including my other favorite, red snapper. The menu has a ton of options. I kept it light and just ordered the basa sandwich and a side of fried okra. Love me some okra! The basa sandwich did not disappoint! They give 3 nice size pieces of fish. Perfectly fried. Not greasy. It was hard to tell what all I could have on my sandwich since that wasn't visible on the menu but the owner insisted I could build it however I want. So I did mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese on a bun. I got my tarter sauce & hot sauce on the side. She served my sandwich w/o the cheese due to it not over powering thr flavor. I was too hungry to care so I ate it anyway. I can eat it with out without but since she didn't charge me for the cheese, I didn't complain. It was so good I never sat it back down once I picked it up. Sandwich in one had, my free hand grabbing the fried okra bites. The fried okra was also fried perfectly but could have used a little more flavor. Sometimes it's tricky with okra bc too much seasoning will make it unbearable. I'd rather it have less seasoning than too much. Would order it again! I also grabbed a lemon pound cake. Not sure it if was actually lemon and couldn't say anything while there since I ate it once I got home. The size of the piece was huge but was more on the dry side and didn't taste lemony. Could have been traditional pound cake. They have a lunch special for $10 I saw on the street sign while leaving. I'm definitely coming back! Damn near once a month if I can. But will for sure be a regular. It's located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking!

    First it was my first visit and I invited two other couples. The waitress was pleasant kind of…read morebless your heart type of attitude. Once my guest arrived the problems started. To move forward I would like to say we all ordered out food, and it was a total of six of us . Three people approved of their dish however, two of us had cold food when you go to a upscale restaurant, such as sea level it would be nice not to have to send our food back due to the temperature. The manager came to the table and she did get our food prepared correctly however, at that point the manager should have given some type of concessions and offered the free dessert because we were not able to eat with our guest. I had to ask for that type of service. My friend got her Bill and the waitress was doing what you call up sale. She asked her husband and my husband if they would like to have three scallops added to their meal the waitress did not say would you like to have three scallops added to your meal for $30? She just plainly said would you like to have three scallops added to your meal or a lobster tail now I understand that there are many people that would go in and not have a problem with the price however, it should be stated how much the up charge is going to be and it should be in writing on the menu because we looked back on the menu and there was not a price for up charge on the scallops . My friend was not happy with the service nor the cost of the scallops . The manager did not really know how to handle the situation but because I invited everyone I wanted to make it right and I asked to pay part of her bill and of course my friend denied and said it'd be best. If we just not come back she said the food wasn't bad the food was actually good however, the waitress was definitely not as friendly focused as she should have been and not willing to help make our experience the best I will say the manager should have been able to accommodate her request and move forward and be kind and understand her point. I will be back and I would love for my friends to come back. The ambiance was very nice and the drinks and food were good as well. Please note the manager at the end gave us a $10 coupon for next visit but our friends were not happy with the outcome. It was simply lack of communication and more openness regarding the charges of up selling and the price is not on the menu. My husband and I left the waitress a $40 tip to show her we did not take it personal and the restaurant has great potential but additional customer service is definitely needed. Thank you.

    Great food and literally the best waiter ever. Made me want to say yes to every recommendation…read more It was an enjoyable experience.

The one dish that was a little questionable was the trout. It was accompanied by broccolini and black lentils. It didn't seem to pair well. Flavors were there, however the last time we dined it was paired with a succotash. Every other plate we had just burst with flavors and spices. The poke bowl was our favorite. We also had a crab dip that was good. The calamari gave us hints of a bang bang flavor. The ribeye was tender and paired well with the blue cheese. Lastly the diver steak with the chimichurri was good. The drinks were very good.

This restaurant is very nicely designed. It's visually appealing with tables indoors, a bar area, and an outside dining area. The hostess and my server were professional and extremely nice and made my dining experience very pleasant. The reason I am giving three stars instead of four or more comes down to value. Seafood is expensive, I get that. But I don't know that there's much value to be had here. Portion sizes are small relative to what you're paying for. And in my opinion, while the freshness and the quality of the seafood may be there, the flavor is not. I have no doubt that the quality of the seafood here is good. But I did not enjoy anything I ordered. I wasn't put off by the food, but I wish I had wanted to savor each bit. I ordered the cajun grilled oysters and the miso sablefish. I thought both were too salty and despite paying over $40 for the meal, I left still a bit hungry.
