Mariscos Tampico Bar & Grill

Was exploring other possible Mariscos (Sea Food) location while traveling this part of Texas and thought this must be a hidden local venue, yes...it hidden and very unusual place to find.From outside could discourage you as I was hesitant to enter, however the place is clean,has great layout and character with two bars and excellent sound system,lighting,and TV screens everywhere, including a stage for a band to perform.Sitting offering booths and tables depending of party size. Nice!Food quality and portion for the price was disappointing, other than the jumbo shrimp seems to be the favorite item to order while I was there. $14.95 appetizers: 1/2 dozen of half shell Oysters, fair to ok29.96 Main dish: price didn't match menu by a $1+"Parrillada" Grilled Shrimp, Beef, Chicken & ear nopales, with rice and beans and a small greens, the corn tortillas were hard and seem old and everything was just bland tasting.Drinks: ask price before ordering $9.40 Modelo bottle beer ))WOW(( 12oz.$11.33 for Modelo Super-Michelada 24oz deal!Note: Regular menu had no pricing for beer or alcoholic drinks, my error not to ask!Service: was fair to good but continue to ask for condiments to improve the flavor of this items that took to long to get, considering the place was relatively empty. Conclusion: did my best to enjoy the experience but left feeling disappointed. Furthermore, since this venue caters to local Latinos who learn quick when it comes to cost, lesson learned should there be a next time, Hey the first one was on me!!But Ahh...above are my token to share this exploring experience to the next happy wonder!Bathroom are Decent and plenty of parkingFinally,Regardless of where you go ask questions and be engaging to explain what they are offering.

Came in to order to go! The staff was very helpful and recommending dishes. Ordered the 7 seas soup! The ambience is a bar feel. Not my personal fav Bc feel Bc to dark and dreary. The soup is delicious and full of a large variety. Would def go back to try more food.

This food is horrible. It's all fake seafood, the meat is just cooked that's it no seasoning no taste, nothing. It takes about an hour for it to come out cold and have NO TASTE!! Honestly I was so upset for the prices they are charging you would think it would be half decent.. If you wanna save yourself from throwing up don't come here.

Decided to give it a shot my brother order some food and food was trash he ordered a meatball stew meatballs were still frozen when they arrive at the table if I can give it a zero stars you know damn well I'll give a zero. The shrimp cocktail was good but the food is overpriced.

Worst place ever!! If can give it zero stars I would. This food is disgusting and over priced. The food arrived cold. We still had to pay the full amount. The drinks tasted watered down also. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place!!! You're better off going to McDonald's.

I'm on vacation and I try to treat myself after a day of cancelled plans, and the food is legitimately disgusting. Thanks a lot, Mariscos Tampico. :(Like, seriously. Scallops were rubbery and watery and legitimately inedible. Crab cake was ice cold. Rice was way undercooked. Queso was hot and delicious, which is why I gave them one star, but even then, they only gave me like eight chips. I was really hoping for a good treat, but I ended up just... sullenly dipping microwaved cheese sticks in queso once the chips ran out. Thanks for increasing the disappointment of a disappointing day of disappointments.

The food was good but I asked for a beer and it tasted awful, when I told the waitress she said the manager told her I still had to pay for it even if I only took a couple of sips, so beware if you do not like what they serve you you still have to pay for it even if its horrible and don't eat or drink it

Muy triste ya van varias veces que voy y ordeno para llevar y me han fallado, pero hoy en especial se lo mencioné a la persona encargada de enfrente y no le importo. Mi comida tardó más de media hora para salir y a partir de eso salió fría y ni estaban ocupados, pedí la parrillada de mariscos. La mesera que me entregó la comida fue muy amable pero triste mente no justifica la manera que se maneja el servicio para un cliente. Rara la vez que escribo una revista mala pero este tipo de servicio no se merece uno especial menté cuando nos están subiendo el costo de producto y no se alinea con el servicio o producto!

Overpriced!! The food was horrible and they gave us very small amounts and most of it onion tomato and cilantro. The menu doesn't have the prices

Cobran por gratitud cuando aveces el servicio es pesimo, se supone que uno tiene que dejar lo que quiere.
