Cute place with good tasty food. We enjoyed lunch special plates. I judge places on the quality of their chips and salsa. There's was delish with a kick. The margaritas were more than the entrees. A regular was quite large.

BLAND. In other words…No Sazon. The food is horrible. Service wasn’t very good either. No tartar sauce for the fish…..that tasted super fishy. Really?…..Who doesn’t have tartar sauce? This place is a dump. My enchiladas were mediocre at best and the rice and beans the same. Won’t be back.

Have given this restaurant a chance time and time again, and they always let me down. Food is incredibly bland. Ordered to go chicken fajitas, and this is what I got... like seriously, who likes unseasoned chicken and plain white rice in fajitas? I have tried numerous things from the menu and have experienced this same thing every time it's just bland food. A restaurant pet peeve of mine is unseasoned food... if I am paying this much for food, it better have at least some salt on it.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mark Hickman · Feb 2024

I didn't have high hopes when we walked in the place but was pleasantly surprised how delicious the food was. Prices were very reasonable. The amount of food was more than we needed so we brought some home. Atmosphere was nothing to be impressed with. Service was okay. Not bad but certainly not over the top. It was mid afternoon and almost empty so I expected better service but was still slow. People were over the top friendly. I'd go back again without thinking twice.

Wonderful food and seafood dishes. Mole excellent! Their ceviche is really good and a hearty portion. Nice atmosphere and nice change from chain Tex-Mex. They treat you like you're part of their family. Nice. Always recommend Mariscos! The whole Tilapia was excellent. Red/garlic sauce is nice.
