La Mariscana

Labor Day 2023: I came here after hearing about this place from some colleagues at work. My goal was to compare their oysters and seafood cocktail against another place I visited last week. The oysters were good but the presentation was a bit off. They come out in a huge tray of ice which melted kinda quick - if you wait too long to have your oysters, you will be pulling them out of water. Also, the cocktail sauce that came with them was super watered down and messy to pour from the little cups it came in. The shrimp cocktail, though, was beautifully presented and delicious. It was topped with cilantro, red onion, and avocado. I relished every bite. Chips and salsa before the meal were good, too. The chips are dusted with some spicy powder which you can get hooked on, and the salsas were good and spicy. Unfortunately for me, though, I was exposed to Maroon 5, One Republic, and Bruno Mars songs blasting throughout the place. It felt kinda clubby, and not any club I would ever want to be in. All in all, though, not a bad place for seafood. I am definitely coming back after hearing about other entrees to try, especially their grilled octopus.

Yummy lunch plates abound! I ordered the camarones al ajillo and had veggies and salad on the side. Everything was exactly as I had hoped it would be and the food was ready in 10 minutes. The lady at the hostess stand was nice and let us sit at a table to wait for our takeout dishes to surface. I was super embarrassed it took so long to get anything done in HI. Thank you for checking in to ensure everything is going smoothly!

The food was delicious we got the molcajete mar y Tierra & Los Ostiones botaneros. The agua de pepino is pretty delicious. The service was friendly & quick. The ambiance was tranquil. The restaurant is spacious, they have live music at 8pm in Thursdays!

I have been here a couple of times and really come here for the entertainment. I wish I could say it was for the food as well but the food is mediocre at best. We had the mar y Tierra molcajete. Who serves a molcajete dish on a cold molcajete. The dish should be served with a hot molcajete. The shrimp served were under cooked, the chicken just okay but a bit on the dry side. The beef was good but not great. The tortillas were served on an open dish so the were cold within a few minutes. All in all I wouldn't recommend this dish. The pic I am posting looks great but it doesn't tell the truth. What really bothers me about this place is that there are no prices on the drink menu and they won't tell you the prices. The drinks are more like coo-lade. Stick to the beer. Service was okay. The Best part is the entertainment on Thursday's. Kudos to Joe and Ingrid.

One of the best place, very delicious food, great service,Thank you , Gracias .Seriously this is the first time I enjoy the food I wish we have restaurant like this in Dallas.GUYS OPEN IN DALLAS.

Very pleasant lunch experience! It's been over a year since I've dined at La Mariscana. I immediately noticed the restaurant design upgrades. Very nice improvements! Even though the restaurant appearance has changed, the food has not changed. The food is as good or better as I remember. I was very happy to see La Mariscana survived the COVID-19 pandemic. I felt very comfortable dining at La Mariscana knowing that COVID-19 protocol is still being practiced, regardless of the infection risks improving. The staff was very welcoming, genuinely friendly. I was served homemade chips with a variety of salsas once I was seated. The chips were seasoned, very tasty, perfect for the salsas. I ordered the Camarones Empanizados ( Battered Fried Shrimp). Nice good size shrimp, perfectly battered, not too greasy, delicious, full of flavor! My meal was served with a flavorful mushroom rice and a side salad with homemade dressing. Definitely once of the best shrimp meals in Laredo! I'm already looking forward to my next dining experience at La Mariscana. Consistency with their great food, superior customer service & attention to detail is no surprise!

I thought this place would have a lot more seafood. This place has many options but not enough seafood options in my opinion. The name and decor make you feel like you're entering a Pescadería but truth is, it's just a Mexican restaurant. They start of by bringing you chips and salsa, pretty standard. They do stand out by bringing several items like pickled carrots and fresh limes. The food tasted great! They probably have the best Agua Chile in town, super spicy just like an agua Chile should be. If you're not a fan of spicy food you can always ask for a milder version. The ribeye is grilled to perfection and the flavor is great! I will say, some of the dishes come different than the way they are presented on the menu. For example, my mom ordered the Mole de Pollo because she was craving the chicken leg glazed in mole sauce. Unfortunately the mole came shredded instead of whole. Was different texture and flavor that what was expected.

Dinner at a place I have never been. Is kind of tucked away and a bit hard to find. Is in Regency Square Center. Real plates and metal utensils, paper napkins. Was seated immediately , my drink and entree order taken quickly. Menu was interesting. Ordered bacon wrapped shrimp with 3 fajita tacos.so far good service. Three salsas with chips set up on table. All 3 had an excellent flavor but were a bit spicy for me. Also had pickled carrots and onions which I really enjoyed. ( see picture).Had upbeat music in Spanish playing at a good level in the background. Had a good high energy vibe to the place.The fajita tacos were good but would have benefited from avocado added in.Bacon wrapped shrimp plate was also very good. Veggies were just al denote as I like them. Overall a good experience. I would recommend.

Awesome Services/ Food / Drinks and a very nice atmosphere !Aurora is an Awesome and beautiful Server !

This restaurant is too over priced for the horrible plates that they serve. The meat in the plate "el toxico" is literally swimming in Maggie sauce (which just tasted like soy sauce) keep in mind this is a 26$ plate. The looks of it sucked, the taste sucked. When I told them the meat was horrible they took the plate to "taste" it. Came back and said that's how it should taste. EXCUSE ME THATS TOO MUCH SALT. So In the end I paid 26$ for 2 bites of the meat that were taken. And they threw the rest away, I could've taken the rest home and fed it to my dogs or something. If the plate isn't discounted it should be allowed to be taken. But nope. This place is unprofessional.
