Taqueria Y Mariscos

The service was quick, the food was real good. The salsa and chips were deliciously spicy.

Possibly the worst burrito I have ever eaten. Lacking flavor in the meat & salsa. To be fair my wife loved the Marisco's so I give it 2 stars.

"Silence of the Shrimps"By Dr. Samibal Schlecter One fine day, Samibal was getting hungry for animal protein, and started eyeing his co-workers. Alas, they were way too fat, and high in saturated fats. He also needed to stay out of prison and to try to behave himself. He then leaped into his Sami-mobile and cruised along Tully Ave., looking for protein. Samibal's goal was to get the local M.O.A.B. Burger ASAP, but the traffic light went first to Yellow and then a bright Red, which foiled his diabolical plan. While waiting at the light, he somehow spied a new Mexican restaurant in his left peripheral vision, and rerouted his synapses toward investigating this new & improved goal. The Sami-mobile silently slid into a nice & close parking space. He got out and walked silently toward the door, all the while, snapping iphone pics to document this culinary discovery. Samibal entered, and was immediately surprised to find a clean & bright interior, with over a dozen clean tables, and a big counter sign, that abounded with zillions of choices. He scan the menu for tasty protein & decided to try to go with a "custom" seafood choice. He asked if they could do a Shrimp/ Fish Combo Wet Super-Duper-Burrito with both sauces on each half, and they did not even bat an eye, while saying "Yes". They better say "YES" to good old HUNGRY SAMIBAL!"Believe me, you don't want Samibal Schlecter inside your head." Samibal took a seat while they silenced the shrimp and fish, and stuffed their bodies into a huge burrito, which was partially buried in both green and red sauce. After about ten minutes, the waiter appeared with the generous plate, and Sami took a Yelp pic or two, and then a bite. "YUM, YUM, EAT UM UP!" said Samibal! but, his pulse never got above 85, even when he ate... Sami was very pleased with the Super-duper Burrito, but the Shrimps were less pleased, and he thought he could hear the little screams of the Exoskeletonless Arthropods, as they slide down his gullet. The Super-duper Burrito has a nice kick to it, but it was less than a donkey's , and more than a tree shrew's. It appeared that this was far tastier and healthier, than any of his co-workers. It was also comforting to know, that it is quite legal to eat almost any member of the Arthropoda Phylum. The Subphylum Crustacea and subclass Malacostraca are the best for Sapiens. He also noted, that the chairs were almost brand new, and had very cushy butt-loving pads that almost seemed to cradle his ample posterior. A comfy butt seems to be critical to the enjoyment of a Super-Duper Burrito. Sami also enjoyed the extensive menu which also included some funny jokes, such as:1) Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.2) I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain... Sami says! Go to Taqueria Y Mariscos but beware of the Silence of the Shrimps :) ....and please remember that Shrimp are really only "Sea-insects", complete with exoskeletons, antennae, and an open circulatory system (ref. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crustacean )."I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner. Bye!",Dr. Samibal SchlecterP.S.- Taqueria Y Mariscos is right behind Modesto Junior College, and is in a small plaza next to the Off Campus Bookstore, two Haircut places, and a rather bland unremarkable "Oriental" restaurant. The location was a Pizza place before this. This Taqueria has relocated from 1341 Coldwell Ave., where it was formerly called El Marisquero.P.S.S.- They also have a big selection of bottled Mexican & Domestic Beer, as well as, three beers on tap. They do have a limited Salsa Bar, but the chips & fixins are good. The tables, chairs, & decor are new or remodeled, and are in great condition. It is a casual dinning place and is not "date-worth"...but it is "lunch-worthy".It could possibly be the "Best" Mexican food closest to the Downtown Modesto area...and is only a 5-10 minute drive from the Downtown area. The prices are quite reasonable for such good quality & quantity.Note: A rather loose homage to the great Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs"

Unbelievably great Mexican seafood! The #26 is my favorite all in spicy flavorful dinner dish. So good! Also got a plate of oysters. Will definitely go back for more. So excited didn't take before photos but as you can we destroyed the dishes. Sorry for the left over photos.

Ordered Camarones Ala Diabla (to go) , It only had about 8 little shrimp. I wish I would have checked the plate before leaving

This place never disappoints from the staff to their food. If you love seafood and micheladas this is place to visit.

Came here on a sunday to have chavelas and eat after a night out drinking because seafood is the best way to cure a hangover! We got the camarones a la diabla and my boyfriend and i LOVE spicy foods but it was wayyyy too spicy like too spicy we couldnt enjoy it nor finish it so i suggest getting them medium if you guys want to enjoy it. Other than that, the chavelas were amazing and customer service was good aswell. I will be going back most definetly!

Muy salada la marqueta que pidi y tardan mucho en a tenderte los ostiones más chiquitos a mirado me sirvieron

Food was ok maybe even good, but customer service is seriously lacking.Poor communication by staff and did not offer to remedy the situation or even check in for the long wait times. I don't leave reviews, if a place has so so or bad food I just don't return, I don't complain or ask for money back, but the staff was so lame I had to let them know.

Large serving for tacos and really good michelada, got the double and it was well worth it
