A local favorite in Soledad, Mariscos Puerto Angel puts out quality food, both standard Mexican fare and seafood, at reasonable prices and full portions. I've had several of the shrimp dishes and all have been wonderful and cooked to perfection. Customers are always greeted promptly with complementary chips and salsa which is a great way to start a Saturday evenings are my usual time coming off volunteer work at a nearby National Park. The Saturday server is usually Norma and she always has a good attitude and smile and gets everything accomplished quickly and efficiently. Her ability to manage everything out front and staying in tune with all the customers is truly amazing. A worthy stop in Soledad. read more

I walked in and ordered an order of fish tacos to go. I liked that the fish was grilled. I wish I could have tried some of their other things, but that was very tasty. I got the beans on the side and it was a bit on the salty side. The person who works behind the counter was very nice and was helpful with all questions I asked. My food was quick and fresh and it the spot after hiking in Pinnacles. read more

If i could i would put no starts, i dont know how this place has 4.0 starts. First of all from the start the salsa they gave us was so salty. We ordered a mixta tostada and the shrimp was obviously not a restaurant cooked shrimp, octopus was still frozen. And the whole tostada was a little salty. We also ordered a costa azul and beans were sour like if they had gone bad, shrimp was so nasty like if they were not good anymore. My husband got a shrimp burrito and the beans in the burrito were sour bad/sour as well. In general it was just a bad experience as a whole. However, The waitress was nice, we told her about burrito they did not charge us for it i did pay for the rest and i we left food on table shrimp plate was full of all the food. I don't know if it was just a bad day for them or maybe they just reuse old food left overs but it was just bad. read more

Wonderful tasty food!!!! Seafood broth entree and chili rellenos and very hospitable staff.

"Our server, Norma Leon, was absolutely amazing! They were so attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure we had everything we needed and even offered great recommendations. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dining experience." So whenever you eat here ask for her. read more

Stopped in on a random drive on the 101 and my girl and I really enjoyed their Carne Asada burrito. Mine with sour crème and hers without. We both really enjoyed them and would eat here again without reservation given the opportunity. Service was great with the waitress actively engaging us for our order, the later to check on the meal. We also enjoyed the music which brought back memories for my girl of her youth. read more

I have gone to Mariscos Puerto Angel many times and highly recommend it. The food is amazing and the employees are great. Norma Leon is a fantastic host. She goes above and beyond to make sure all the orders are correct. She offers advice on what complements the meals. She deserves 5 stars as well. read more

Well big dawgs this place is mediocre at best. I ordered the carnitas burrito and it was ok. Nothing spectacular about it. No salsa no lemon was offered nor did she ask if I wanted any. My burrito was about 6 inches long and 4.5 inches wide.. wtf kinda burrito was that. And it was bland. I took 3 bites asked for a box and she gave me foil then walked out. The burrito was not tasty at all I threw it away outside. Sorry no photo bkuz it wasn't worth the effort.. . And the waitress was on her phone the entire time. Wipe a table down,sweep the floor, fill up salsa cups for Togo orders.. something. Jesus this place sucked read more

We ate here while charging our Tesla thanks to the good yelp reviews. The food was tasty, especially there delicious refried beans. My hubby loved his chili relleno. The cheese in it was especially good and it was actually spicy, the way he likes it. I liked my cheese enchilada and vegetarian nachos. Both were soggier than I am used to, but we assume it is the style of the region. I would eat here again while charging. read more

I ordered the filete empanizado to go. It was ready pretty quickly which is no surprise tbh given the fact that I received previously frozen, breaded, store bought fish sticks. It was really like the frozen breaded fish sticks I buy at Trader Joe's which are not bad. They are definitely not what I expect to receive when I order from an "authentic " Mexican restaurant. Dish doesn't even come with tortillas like other Mexican restaurants. Such a rip off. read more

Delicious, authentic. We got shrimp cocktail and veggie burrito and shrimp tostada. Tamarind drink very good. (By the way, in the same parking area as 350kw superchargers for electric cars.) read more

A review for the Mojarra Frita here caught my eye, and I have been hankering after some good fish, so a sunny Sunday found me here for lunch. A Chavela Preperada started things off (Hey, it's Sunday), and then the Tilapia arrived. They have a source for some big Tilapia, this was a big, delicious, Fried Fish. With salad, rice and fries, it was a heck of a meal. I have to go back and try some of the other offerings because this is an excellent restaurant with easy access from 101, clean with friendly, fast service. read more

The beef soup is to die for! My husband order the carnitas and we're delicious as well

This was my third visit for take-out tonight and, once again, the food was brilliant. You're greeted with a warm smile when you come through the door, and the service is great. I again ordered two orders of three enchiladas (one order of cheese and one chicken) with green sauce. Absolutely delicious! Also ordered their chile relleno, which is quite possibly the best I've ever tasted (and I told the proprietor that while ordering). For my money, this is some of the best Mexican good I've had in this town. It's the best I've had since my previous favorite, La Fuente, closed its doors several years ago Give this place a try!! read more

Service was so slow took 30 minutes for food to come out and it wasn't too busy. Don't come here if you are in hurry. I do not recommend the Chile rellenos because they come with white sauce !! Yuck ! I ordered the combination but I've tried the Chile rellenos years ago never again. This the combination #4. read more

Mariscos Puerto Angel - Chicken tostada, carne asada taco, carne molida sope & rice & beans - Seafood Near Me - Soledad, California

I came here around noon on a Saturday and it was somewhat packed with only one server. I didn't mind it because the service was still great and we had no problem waiting for the food. We ordered the big nachos with chrome, a shrimp tostada, and aguachiles verde. The aguachiles takes 20 minutes to prepare so I would order ahead if you can. It was a little to watery for my liking. I'm used to the verde sauce being a thicker consistency. Also they did not have a lot of onions, only like 7 very thin slices. The cucumbers on top were very old. The shrimp tostada was the worst. Nothing about it was authentic and the ingredients were very old. The big nachos were my favorite. Perfect portions!!! Great ingredients and really hit the spot. I appreciated their twist of picketed jalapeños. read more

Chips and salsa are very good. The water of tamarindo is everything you want the agua frescas to be. You can tell they do it by hand the agua de frescas. I ordered the torta of carnitas and it was all around pretty tasty. My dad ordered 3 tacos de asada and they were pretty solid too. read more

Excellent Mexican food and good prices. You want authentic Mexican food, this is the place. I do love their shredded beef super burritos.

Arrived at 6:40 pm and were told they were closing but the waitress told us it okay to take a seat - their closing time on the app says 7:30 pm is closing The the burrito I order was the worst I have had there Very little cadne asada with the majority of the burrito filled with beans and rice The meat was over cooked and some it was burned read more

Best, freshest food in town. Best guacamole. Great customer service. Hubby loves the shrimp fajitas, which are more like prawn fajitas. I hardly ever post Yelp reviews, but I seriously love this place. First rate. read more

Mariscos Puerto Angel - Side of one chicken flauta. $2.50. Maybe 'cause I'm a regular customer? Everything is so fresh and delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Soledad, California

Solid Mexican in a small town - I've hit this place a few times now while rolling up or down the 101. Might not get 4 stars in LA but in Soledad... Add this to your list of "Road Trip Safe Food Stops." I should probably make a list like that now that I mention it. K thx bye. read more

It's decent but then again I didn't order much. The vegetarian options here are slim to none so I'm basing it off of that. So basically you can get a bean and cheese burrito, a veggie burrito (lettuce, tomato, rice, beans), or omelette a la Mexicana which has tomatos onions and jalapenos. The inside had a decent amount of seating for a small place, nothing all that fancy tho. There is one TV but it wasn't on at the time when I went in. There are deals on beer such as a beer bazooka, and you can get a metal bucket of cold ones for your table. The service isn't crazy friendly or anything, just business and to the point. I don't know if I'd come here for beer specials unless I knew there's a game going on of some sort and even then it is debateable. I had ordered the veggie burrito with fajita vegetables added and no rice. Ended up being mostly just onions, no bell peppers. All in all, basic burrito, good size. I'd have to order something else to really gauge if this would be a place to come back to but for vegetarian needs I think I would abstain. Don't get me wrong, the burrito wasn't terrible but it wasn't anything to call home about either. read more

Great experience! Warm welcome from Norma as we walked in and outstanding service from her during the course of our lunch. We've tried the few other restaurants in the area and this one definitely made an impression. I recommend the Horchata (super savory and not overly sweet) and Carne Asada Quesadillas (added shrimp). read more

If I could rate ZERO stars I would. Came by for some tacos. Didn't expect to get what I got. LOL. It looked like they walked across the street to FoodsCo, got a rotisserie chicken and bag of salad from there and made a "taco." No salsa, no lime/lemon or radish. Save yourself the time and go to Taco Bell across the way to get a more authentic taco than this place. I couldn't even eat more than 1. No flavor and all I could taste were the large pieces of salad. Won't be returning! read more

Excellent fresh food. We stopped over on our trip back and were very hungry. Good that we chose it over other places. The food was super fresh and flavorful. Excellent cook and great host. It was completely unexpected to get that kind of food at that location to be frank. But glad that we did pick the underrated place. read more

Always great service food id made fresh and delicious fast and friendly been going here for years

It's okay. Just okay. First of all. The chips were not that crunchy. The salsa was not spicy at all. It was like that salsa out of a can or something. I got a chicken burrito. It wasn't impressive. Beans all liquidy! Rice wasn't flavorful...all dry and stuff. And if you're thirsty, don't get water! The water tasted like cold pool water. So get yourself beer instead! Maybe buzzed you'll feel happy amigo! read more

On our way up from Pismo to the Bay Area we stopped on Soledad for gas. Since we hadn't eaten yet, we decided to do that and found this little Mexican place. Nice menu. I had ceviche de pescado and tacos adobada. The ceviche was solid, fresh. The adobada was a little dry and more salty than having other flavors. Jack had a burrito with chicken. He liked it. Perhaps I should not have ordered meat in a place that is called Mariscos. The menu looked very extensive with the usual Caldos, Cocteles, etc. But I also saw Agua chile. The only place I've ever seen that was in Mazatlan. Service was by a delightful and friendly young woman. A nice stop. read more

Excellent seafood and service! The portions and prices were very generous. Would definitely recommend trying this place.

This restaurant is our go to place. We love their chili verde it's very tasty. The owners provide excellent service. We recommend it.

Great authentic mom and pop Mexican spot. Came here while charging at the Tesla charger and was pleasantly surprised. If you enjoy true Mexican food and flavors check this place out. Even my kids liked it and they can be picky. Service was great. Ambiance was to be expected for this type of restaurant in this location. Great option of stopping in this area. read more

Almost all of the 10 or so Mexican Restaurants in this small town have good Yelp reviews and only a couple of them, as far as I could see, were written by East Bay Yelpers. That did not surprise me Soledad is not a tourist hot spot. I chose Mariscos Puerto Angel for three reasons: it was easy to park, the other two other places, (CVS and Subway) I wanted to stop at were nearby, and the menu was extensive. It took me a long time to decide what I wanted, the server came over several times to try and take my order. I had to tell I would let her know when I was ready. I finally decided on bistec rancheros. The thinly sliced beef was tender. The tomatoes, onion slices and peppers were perfect, tender but not mushy. Other than garlic, I'm not sure what spices were added to this dish, they did add quite a bit of heat. The corn tortillas that came with this plate were fresh. The whole meal was great. The bistec plate was a huge; I took the leftovers back to the motel with me. I thought they would make a nice lunch the next day. I put them on the table rather than in my cooler or the mini refrig. The leftovers did not last that long. They had perfumed my room all night. When I got up at 4am to leave for the workshop I was attending I finished them off. They tasted even better than they did the night before. I ate them at room temperature after realizing that perhaps the smell might wake people in the adjacent rooms When I am in the area I will eat here again. read more

Awesome food and very nice people. I got the torta and my wife got the shrimp fajitas.

We had a party of 14 and they were very accommodating. We all ordered different things and the food was great. Definitely stopping there when we are in the area. read more
