Mariscos Altamar

Never again, we’ve tried their food several times but they keep disappointing. This is the last time I give them my business. Just see the picture of the nearly burnt shrimp.

Just got back from my birthday dinner...where to start. First, the food was not bad, but it definitely was not great. The rice had pretty much no seasoning and an aftertaste. The beans are..okay. The meat however was solid. Second, they messed up our order not once, but twice. First time they got us the wrong dip, which they then GAVE TO ANOTHER TABLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN ON OURS FOR A COUPLE MINUTES WAITING FOR US TO SEND IT BACK. I'm no crazy health inspector but even I know that's a major violation. Then they gave us the correct dip which just amounted to beans with cheese that ended up burned on the bottom of a skillet. We had the ask for the guacamole which was supposed to be on the dip. Not a big deal compared to the rest, but notable. Then they came with our entres, only to give my

Vibrant restaurant in a charming building. Loved the veggie medley, but disappointed that the online and in-restaurant menus had not been updated to replace the pollock with tilapia. I like pollock but not tilapia, so I had to order Mexican food with chicken versus fish. Spoke to the owner about this, who was aware of it but had not updated the menus, but said that he would.

The salsas were not your normal type you usually get. They were tasty and quite spicy. Our server was attentive and pleasant. She did a wonderful job. The food was also not your normal dining fare found in most Mexican restaurants. The crab and shrimp enchiladas were very tasty. If I am in the area, I would return to try other options.

Get the Specialty Plate with an extra order of tortillas and you easily have enough food for two! A mountain of well-seasoned, sautéed shrimp, crab, octopus, and fish alongside peppers and onions - plus a generous helping of rice and even guacamole. All for just $20. Need I say more?! Will definitely be back again next time I happen to be visiting. A big thank you from California! 🙏
