    Lemon margarita on the rocks
    David M.

    Great experience and great service. Been coming here a few years now. I always come back for the bean dip. Margaritas are tasty and a great price during happy hour. Definitely a great place to enjoy drinks and good food with family and friends

    Generous draft Modelo Negro Happy Hour special
    Val G.

    Came here because I had seen that they have a Happy Hour that goes pretty late. I was in the area so I stopped by. The HH is for drinks only: beers and margaritas but they did give me chips and salsa for free. The salsa was good but they gave me a cup of their refried beans and they were very good. At $7 for huge mug, the Modelo Negro was a great deal. I wish they had some light food options but the chips and salsa was a good offering. The place is huge and nicely decorated. I had been here years ago for a Groupon coupon I had purchased. I remember walking in and it was so packed that I was like "what's going on" and then I was reminded that it was Cinco de Mayo. Would love to come back and try the food.

    This place is amazing!! March 28 2025 12 noon I ordered a 7 mares caldo, hands down it was definitely the best caldo I have ever had. It was delicious!! The restaurant is clean, and the service was outstanding, even though they were really busy they were very curious and polite. Kitchen, extremely efficient as I did not wait long for my food and best of all it was piping hot and they don't scimp on the seafood, it was loaded. But the service was the highlight of my visit/meal. Thank you for a great experience. I definitely recommend this place, and I will be back!! RS

    Delicious food, great authentic Mexican food. Margaritas are pretty good also. Prior to COVID the $1.00 beers were very enticing!

It's a pretty small space and only fits maybe 5 people inside, but there are more tables outside. Both dishes were super fresh. The ceviche came with fish, shrimp, octopus, crab, and scallop I think. The aguachile came with shrimp and was super delicious. We got it medium spicy which was perfect. Portions were good and prices were not cheap but reasonable. They gave us salt packets and tapatio packets in our bag which was nice. I would definitely come back for the aguachile. I could drink the sauce by itself it was so good!

My…read morefamily loves Mariscos, I absolutely don't mind paying if it's worth it, my opinion this place is NOT!! I have included a picture of a small tray of tostadas mixtas (camarón crudo, cocido y jaiba) for $52.00 (Yikes!) plus I added callos to it (I counted the callos which was a whopping 8 cut in half ) for an additional $18.72. BEWARE when you buy a Charola "Tray" no salsas come with it, not even limes....only tostadas!!! WTF!! I can go to a pricey Marisco's place by my house and they At least provide ALL condiments, this is ridiculous. Now to only make matters worse the majority of the seafood is Jaiba (crab) you can barely see the shrimp. Look at the pictures and see if you can spot the shrimps!! Well all I can say go with caution!!!

    I finally tried this place and unfortunately I was disappointed…read more When I went in, the servers were all in the Kitchen. Then a server came out and seated us. We ordered after 10 minutes. I was very hungry and thought having tacos and ceviche and shrimp cocktail should be something quick. But the order took more than 20 mins to come out and I had to follow up with them. There were only 3 tables at the time and each table is just with one or two customers. There two servers total, but it seems the person who ordered for me also went to cook. I am not sure if this is one time situation where the Chef is not working that day? Because it honestly took too long to bring the food out when it's not busy at all. The most disappointing part is that after all this waiting, the tacos were toooo salty. We ordered grilled fish and grilled shrimp tacos. There were these blacks stuff sticking to the fish and shrimp, it's those black stuff that you get from burnt pan. The shrimp cocktail and ceviche was okay. Nothing amazing but I just wondered why couldn't they bring these two dish out first because it should be something already premade?? I would not come back after this experience. But I would suspect the management more the employees working there because I think they need more training. I also wonder if it's a substitute Chef or a new Chef was working that day?? This happened on Saturday the Thanksgiving weekend. Their ambiance is cute but feels old.
