Mariscos Uruapan - Wonderful music and drinks - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

I love love love their molcajete, yes I know it's a mariscos place, and yes I have had their mariscos which are also very yummy. But their molcajete de carne, pollo y puerco.... Omg, that with a michelada... muah... that was me kissing my finger like a chef does. Lol. Only thing That kinda sucks about this place, but at the same time doesn't, is the live music. Don't get me wrong, the ambiance is awesome. Music is awesome, but don't take like a first date there cuz you won't be able to actually get to know the person cuz you won't be able to hear anything the other person is saying. I took my bestie and she loved it but we couldn't really catch up because I couldn't hear her. Lol great for food, and a live show, not good for conversing with your date/companion. read more

10/3/20 Horrible Customer Service!!!! Came to eat with a couple of friends for the first time and waited 30 minutes for outdoor seating which made no sense since they have plenty of tables. Waitress came out 2 times to say oh they haven't cleaned your table. Finally one Waitress came and looked upset that she had to clean. She threw all the food to the floor and did not broom the floor. There was already lots of cups on the floor. They deserve an "F" for cleanliness Customer service "F" There were more tables filled with dirty plates. There were plenty of waiters attending guests on the street side. Some tables were in the dirt and others were actually sitting indoors. I wish I would have taken a photo so people could see. Will definitely never come back! Save yourself the Trip! Total Dissapointment read more

Okay, I have been a patron to Mariscos Uruapan since 2012 and I have loved the food since day one! The Marisco Molcajetes are delicious, their red snapper ( Huachinango) is great, and the ceviche accompanied by a Pacifico Beer is just what I love most about this place. The service has always being hit and miss. I have been served by Hilda many times and she is nice but the service is not that great. My wife and I went today and we were waited on by Teresa and OMG! She Was Amazing! She was attentive, she was polite, she was quick to bring our drinks, cutlery, food; she would remove plates that were not longer needed at the table on her way back from serving other tables. She was Amazing and I can't remember when was the last time we had such great service. Teresa if you are reading this Keep Up The Good Work !!! (4/24/2021 6:00 - 7:00 PM Table in front of Bar) We Love Mariscos Uruapan !!! read more

Love this place... If ever a perfect "hang over spot" or "sunday chillax" dinner... it would be Mariscos Uruapan. Occasionally they do have a live mariachi band that will blast the efff out of your ears while your dining...sometimes you can be in the mood, sometimes not -- just don't plan on having any lengthy conversations over dinner. Can't go wrong with the dozen oysters to start with a couple of beers. A friend of mine and I went one night for the whole she-bang... and we got sold on the mango margaritas...and I swear after two..or was it 3... I felt like I got slipped a roofie... I never felt so drunk off of margaritas. and I will say I WILL GO BACK FOR THEM. Because those bad boys are AMAZING!!!! The mixed fajitas... are DELICIOUS. With beef, shrimp, cactus, chicken, green peppers, onions... and choice of corn or flour tortillas and all the side works including guacamole. I'm officially a Uruapan Fan! read more

First and foremost Jenny is an awesome human being and a has a beautiful soul. I literally called and asked them to see if they can help me out in a big way and they came through. S homeless man was hungry and I didn't have any cash so I called Uruapan and they helped tremendously. Made a bean and cheese burrito for the homeless guy who was hungry cuz he had no shirt or shoes on and was embarrassed to ask for food. So I took it upon myself to help him out and do did Jenny. Next time I'm in the area I'ma make sure to tio jenny big for her kindness. read more

Worse dining experience I've ever had at a restaurant. First of all, i went with a party of 4 with one person in a wheelchair (my grandma who was visiting from Mexico). They put us on the first table on the left which the table is labeled as the handicap table. We were eating and many members of the restaurant kept asking us if we were done and if they can take the plates off the table when we were obviously not done and still had food on the plates. We felt super rushed. Towards the end, one of the waiters literally told us we had to order something else or leave because they have a large party waiting. I forgot to note that the large party table is also the handicap table. This was super unprofessional. After spending nearly $200, paying the bill then they tell us we have to order something else or leave. My mom who also accompanied us was not even done with her food before they kicked us out. Definitely go somewhere else. The food was also subpar with everything missing salt. First and last time I'll ever go to this establishment. read more

Doesn't look like much, tastes even worse. EXTREMELY overpriced and bland. Never thought I'd come across the day where I ordered a plate of Mexican food and they actually charged for the tortillas until I came here. Stay away from this crappy place read more

What has happened to this place we used to come to this spot because it was the place to go for good food and good entertainment. Went to celebrate my wife's birthday and the place was dead no live music wich they told they would have a norteño plying they lied!!! The food was horrible who serves chicken nuggets with rice & beans for kids??? The carne asada was under cooked and the queso fundido was just a glob of cheese. Not to mention the price that they are charging for the food its a total rip off we drove all the way from Vegas and were exited to go there for dinner but It turned out to be the worst dinner I would of enjoyed a big mac from mcdonads more than the dinner from there DONT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE IT SUCKED!!! Total disappointment... Queso Fundido nasty I could go on and on but not worth my time bottom line just dont go there!!! read more

I been here before, but when we order our food, freaking plate was literally room temperature cold, I didn't say anything because my friend insisted we come here, she really like this place, the first time I went plate was hot, but today was not good, the girl with long blonde waitress was really nice, they should check their plates before serving them. I wanted to go to Spaghetti Eddie's. This place is expensive for cold food. read more

Loved everything on their menu. It was hard to choose. Our server was excellent and was very attentive in checking in on us.

Not bad service was good nice enough the lentil soup was really good but over all nothing great about this place, probably won't come back read more

Best atmosphere all around town. The drinks are good on the modern side nothing crazy I've had them mango margaritas it's really good not sure if that's what they called. Also carnitas plate delicious. Everything is hard to make a choice so many dishes. Their green salsa is also good. Quiero decir todo muy rico y que es bueno con familia o con amigos. read more

Straight to the point: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Two days ago, I came here to celebrate my sister's graduation with close family and friends. There's no reservations so we waited 30mins. From our previous experience, we were happy to return at first only to become disappointed. The tables and seats were dirty and unsanitary, which should've been a red flag since COVID-19 is still a problem... we just wiped it down ourselves. The customer service was horrible. Instead of being attended and offered something to drink, I got a view of employees being on their phones inside the kitchen. After we got our food and drinks, we just wanted to try enjoying the rest of the time inside. ...Unfortunately, we ended up almost getting SCAMMED. We noticed a $15 increase in our bill. We spoke to the manager, and he said the pricing on their system appeared fine. We had a menu on our hand, and showed him the different price. He looked annoyed that I approached him about the situation and fixed the bill to the correct price. To top this off, almost everyone to this day been feeling sick. I don't know if it's because the food came out oily or if the food was undercooked, let's just say that I won't be coming back. read more

Food is good. Service not so much. Live band is great. Enjoy the shrimp tacos enchilados

There customer service is not there. The seafood smells like it's not cleaned correctly. Just not the same anymore. I us to enjoy coming here for ceviche tostadas. read more

I have never left a Yelp review. This place made me leave one. It was my second time there, the first, good food with decent service, tho it could have been cleaner. It has a "B" rating but I went back because my father enjoyed his previous meal and I get that the "B" rating can be due to anything. I brought him back and tho there were guests, they did not appear too busy. We get rushed by our waitress to order, we weren't ready. She brought our water and I had to flag her down when ready to order. My father and I placed our order.... She asked what type of tortillas we desired and we answered. 15/20 minutes later she returned with father's meal. I asked for the tortillas, as well as a certain green salsa they have. She never checked on us and I attempted to get her attention.... No luck. It took me asking a different waiter to get her for me. She returned.... Mind you, it has been 30 minutes and my father had finished his meal. I had yet to get mine. I asked about the tortillas, green salsa and MY ORDER. She appeared confused and said my dish isn't ready yet. I cancelled my order paid for father's meal. No salsa, tortillas and oh yeah.... No meal. I walked to a taco spot in the same shopping center and took meal to go. One star is too generous for a "B" rating restaurant with bad service. read more

Amazing food! My favorite is the ceviche Nayarit, tacos gobernador, tacos de carnitas/buches, Caldo de pollo and Chile verde. Highly recommend!! read more

Worst service. Took too long for our food to come out. The person behind the register was rude. Not worth the wait!

3rd time coming here and the food was great ordered the Diablo Red Snapper and the garlic Red Snapper. Both were good, the rice and beanns were also good. My wife and daughter both had Margaritas and said they were good. They also have Mariachis on Sunday. Will defiantly be back. read more

Walked in for a order to go the young girl Marlene looked like she already didn't want to be working, So I made my order for camrones serandeados, which she put down as a la diabla. Now when I called back and got home and saw they weren't the right order she told me that this is what I ordered. I'm sorry but I've been here in the past and know this order very well not to mistake the two. Horrible customer service and how rude to tell me that I ordered wrong. read more

I am giving them a 5 star review for their cheese and chorizo plate! So yummy. The caldo de res was also really good and affordable for the size. The ambience was good, there were people in the bar playing live music. read more

Mariscos Uruapan - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

Amazing food and service! If you go when the Banda playing it does get difficult to converse or for them to take your order. But it's just like a free concert! The staff does everything they can to accommodate you in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend trying it out! read more

Mariscos Uruapan - The Oysters are amazing! - Mexican Near Me - Irwindale, California

Why do I keep going back? This review is from a few weeks ago, ordered 2 large menudos to go. Asked for a normal meat and hominy and one with just hominy. When we got home one was fine the meat and hominy but the hominy only had nothing but the soup, no meat , no hominy! Nothing! Husband went back and the hostess seemed bothered and confused. She came back with a small container and said, this is all the cook handed me and walked away, it was probably about a scoop of hominy, did not justify the large menudo I ordered. So disappointed, now I know not to order to go, they just manage to screw it up each and every time and customer service still sucks! What a shame, quality and service is bad! Buyer beware and go at your own risk read more

This little hole in the wall cantina has great food, Michelada's and strong Margaritas. From the outside it looks kind of old and dingy but once you walk inside it's surprisingly spacious and has this very dark and night life atmosphere. The decor is pretty nice too. They have plenty of tables and some TV's above their bar. Service is a little slow (I went on a Tuesday for lunch) but that's probably due to under staffing issues. Not sure how it is on a weekend. I can eat their free fresh chips and salsa all day. BOMB! read more

This place is dated. Food is sub-par. Search yelp for better mariscos spots. I wouldn't come here again, unless someone else was paying for my meal (just saying). read more

RICO RICO DELICIOSO!!!! (let me say that a few more times). I love the Atmosphere, FOOD, & MUSIC. I've been here several times and I recommend it to everyone. Camarones al mojo de ajo is flippen bomb along with the famous Ceviche ( the serving size is ridiculous, 1 is just enough). read more

The food was good but the vibe was great music is on point. The service was good a little delayed but it was fine since the vibe was great

Had never been here before but wanted to try some good mexican food and needed to have lunch in the area so gave it a try. Was really happy with food and service and prices were fair too. If I was ever in the area I would definitely stop by there again. Highly recommend. I got a tostada salad. Lots of delicious chicken and a good size for the price. And they had a delicious salsa and bean dip they brought to table with the chips. Very good! read more

Absolutely disgusting do not eat here at least until the COVID 19 is gone away. Our tables were disgustenly dirty. Asked for the waiter to come clean and after it was wiped down i tried cleaning it with the sanitizer and a napkin again and it was still black!!! Our drinks were $17 each with raw shrimp with the dirty black vain in it, Disgusting. My Carne en su Jugo had no meat in it besides the Bacon! Show me one recipe that calls for no beef in the soup! $78.00 check for 2 beers and a plate of beans with bacon, botana plater that was uneaten due to the food not looking appetizing. But if you like to sit with a bunch of drunks in the middle of the day its the place for you. read more

My sister recommended this restaurant so we went to go check it out. I liked the atmosphere and set up of the restaurant. We were greeted and seated right away. We went for lunch, but don't expect to take a quick lunch here. I ordered the chili relleno with taquitos. The chili relleno was very good, it was not spicy and was filled with cheese and covered in a delicious sauce. The beans are really good, not quite sure what kind of beans they were because they are not your regular refried beans. I also ordered a side of tortillas just because they are made in house. I would definetly revisit this spot next time I am in the area. read more

Have I really never reviewed this place?! i've been here time and time again! Never disappoints. Seafood is delicious, Tacos Governador are BOMB. Fresh made tortillas, YUM YUM YUM!! I think i'm hungry all over again! Their drinks are on point as well! It can get loud on a Friday night so it may not be a good place to take a first date or a group of friends that want to catch up. You won't be able to hear each other over the banda that's playing live. yumm, camarones a la diabla!!! Go check it out! read more

I am a regular here. Well I used to be there more often for lunch. I havent had time to take long lunches anymore but we come here for all the employees birthdays. Its fun they make you wear a sombrero and sing to you and even feed you cake lol Drinks are great, lunches are very wholesome, taste great and cheap. read more

I would give this restaurant a 3 but the fact is. We went to eat a quick little lunch ( On a Sunday) Yes it was packed! But the wait time for everything and anything was too crazy! We all ordered and it took over 1 hour to get out food! Not to mention it took about 20 minutes for me to get my Michelada! I noticed a plate of the same food I ordered was taken out and took to the wrong table! Brought back and then brought to my table. My friend looked over and noticed a curly hair in my beans! Yes I was offered another plate of food, but after waiting that long I did not want to order something else to make this quick lunch date a 3 hour lunch! Most likely would not go back or recommend to anyone else. The guest I took was a recommendation and of course we were all let down! read more

No professionalism and no structure at all. My Fiancee's family decided to make reservations for the whole family on Saturday night. After receiving a confirmation that it was booked, we got there and was told we had to wait because our table was accidentally given away. We ended up waiting for over 30 minutes. The worst thing was that the staff did not seem apologetic at all. It was more of, "You'll get seated when you get seated." type of attitude. When they finally sat us, there was no "We are sorry for the inconvenience" no "We are going to try and make it up." Nothing! To add insult to injury, the food was nothing great. I can go to 3 different mariscos spots in a 5 mile radius with better food. My suggestion to you is look for another place and enjoy your time there. read more

I used to come here at least twice a month....not anymore after the BS they just pulled. We decided to try their mango ceviche, which is clearly stated in their menu as $12.99 for a full order (even a large plate is pictured). When we ordered, the waitress asked if we wanted the full order or just a tostada. We asked what was the difference and she said not only the portion would be smaller with the tostada but also cheaper. Given that we wanted to order other items, we opted for the tostada. Well, when I paid, I was charged $14.99 for the "less expensive" tostada. After a long conversation with the lady working the main register and a guy who seemed to be a manger of sorts (both very polite...I'll give them that) and both agreeing that something was amiss, I got screwed and ended up being charged the ridiculous price. They wouldn't adjust it!! It's not the cost. I would have left happy and would have never written this had they just given me the rest of the order that I was charged for (even though the menu says $12.99 and I was charged $14.99). Instead, I will now reach out to the BBB to discuss overcharging and/or false pricing. read more

Drinks and food were really good. Service was excellent. Tried a couple of pomegranate mojitos.
