Mariscos El Rey

Fantastic food! I tried the pulpo (octopus) tacos. Amazing, haven't had as good since Cabo. Music and futbol games on all the tvs. Great spot for a pop in lunch. Will eat again!

We came here with our family after a fun filled day because my brother in law recommend it. And boy it did not disappoint! My brother in law and his father joined us, they are Mexican and speak Spanish fluently which was nice because the food is all Mexican inspired so the names are in Spanish. But every dish has a picture, the description is also in English and our waitress spoke both English and Spanish. The picture is so helpful to see exactly what you are ordering. I ordered the Cameron mango, it was beyond delicious! The mango was so fresh, it was so sweet and paired so well with the shrimp. The avocado was perfect, it cut so easily. I liked the little spice mixed with the sweet. The shrimp was finely cut so it was like a salad just no lettuce. My boyfriend ordered the fajitas mixtas and the meat was cooked perfectly, the shrimp was my favorite it had a great flavor. We also ordered the tempura shrimp and gratinado rolls because they are cooked and not raw. The shrimp was my favorite and tasted so good! The gratinado had a good flavor with beef and bacon flavors standing out the most. Great appetizers! The food came very quickly and they kept our drinks full. While we were eating they had a live Mariachi band, it was loud but made the atmosphere so fun! I loved the music, they played in all Spanish. They made checking out painless and split the checks so easy for us, there were 10 of us. This was not just good food but a great experience! I highly recommend this place and would come again!

I knew it was gonna be good before I walked in. Greeted immediately in the most friendly manner in Spanish but they had an English speaking hostess. Decor just makes you feel like you're at a beach restaurant. The menu is huuge and visually mouth watering! I already knew I wanted some kind of seafood soup and I was hoping they had 7 mares soup which they did. All kinds of sea creatures in one soup . My daughter had the fajipina which is grilled steak chicken peppers served in a half of a pineapple with the cubed pineapples. So good. The appetizer chips and house salsa is 10/10. I'm sure all the items in the menu are! They even have sushi! I didn't get a margarita but the alcoholic drink menu looked just as appealing as the food menu. I enjoyed my 7 mares soup on a rainy day and it hit the spot. But the side of salad rice and most smoothest delectable refried beans . I don't like refried beans but theirs took me back to when I lived with a neighbor who made the same smooth magical refried beans that I could literally eat with rice and tortilla with no meat! Our server was very polite even with the language barrier, I know a little to order what I want . I felt like it was my birthday. Great service, great meal and overall just made me dance in my chair while I ate. Will have to go whenever I can to try everything on the menu! If you want pictures for the gram -go to here. Best refried beans I ever tasted in south side Colorado Springs!
