El Marinero Family Restaurant

So far, I love this place! We were out for a walk around town and came by this place and expectedly. I must've been by this plate 20 times but never stopped in. We love it so far. An authentic Mexican restaurant! Service was sweet and nice and quick. Super friendly server who let me practice my Spanish. The food was great!!!! Sizzling hot cast iron plate with a big portion of shrimp and chicken fajitas, with grilled Mexican, green onions, jalapeños, tomatoes, onions, rice, and beans on the side, tortillas, and chips and salsa. It was delicious. The drinks were ok...but icy and refreshing. Some great Mexican music playing in the background, love songs and nothing too rambunctious. We will totally come back here !

Bought a shrimp with octopus soup. Very good taste but it had more vegetables then shrimp and octopus. In my opinion for a vegetable soup 27 dollars was way to much. I may have had 5 whole shrimp and 5pieces of octopus the rest was all vegetables..

This place is over-priced for sure but some of the food is good. Just have to stick to the basics here and don't go too far into the menu. Tacos burritos and the fried stuff is good. Can't really mess that up.Came in for a quick dinner and got just that. Was seated quickly after checking vaccination status. Put our drinks order in and they came quickly and we placed our food order. It was past 3pm but was still able to order of the lunch menu which was good. Ordered the fried shrimp and the chicken enchiladas. Both came out quickly and hot. The portions were not that much but we were still full off the chips and salsa included. Overall a 3 star trip.

Muchas gracias, Vanessa. Muy amable y eficiente. Me atendiste super bien. Eres los maximo!

I don't know why this place has a 3 rate star I'm not from the area and today after a long day shopping went looking around for a good place to eat when I first got here and didn't see that many people and thought the food was going to be bad seat down and start looking at the variations of plates they look good on the photos,My server named Vanesa recommended my plates I listen to her and order my food I asked her to bring me a hot sauce for my food my surprise was she got the chef make a especial sauce for us OMG super delicious thank you very much for that.Very good food & service 100% recommended.

Typical small business Mariscos(Seafood) spot. This place is a literal 3 star, not great, not bad. Food actually tastes good, certain items are yummy, others are ok. This like many other small business has potential, but kind of rely on the usual customers coming in on weekends or after work for beers and seafood. I am just assuming their food is not always fresh as its typicaly not busy in the day time or weekdays. My go-to orders and something that is just random but have been eating them for yeaaars. The Taco de Camaron(Shrimp)/Mixto(Surf & Turf type) and Marlin. Soooo good. Little greasy but fire. They come with a super spicy sauce that ties everything together. Mariscos are not bad, not great but not bad. Sometimes fresh other times not so much. Havent got sick from them, so thats a plus.Marsicos are pricey everywhere. So my take is to get them from a busier place to ensure they are fresh instead of playing Food-Poising Roulette.

There's literally mold in the boys bathroom and they give me enchiladas chicken when I ask for cheese

Service was excellent and restaurant is very clean. My omelette was fine and the beans were delicious. Really need to come back for dinner. Breakfast menu is limited to a few traditional dishes. Maybe they could incorporate seafood into their breakfast menu.

THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE WORST RESTAURANTS I HAVE BEEN TO IN MY LIFE!!!! I AM NOT ONE TO LEAVE REVIEWS, NEVER HAVE, SO THIS IS THE FIRST TIME DOING SO AND CANT BELIEVE ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW!!Husband and I brought my parents to eat here today and first thing we noticed it was empty on a Sunday, restaurants are usually never empty on Sundays, but now I understand why people do not come here and if you go you will too understand anyways, we sat down and opened up the menus RED FLAG the prices on the menu are crossed off with white out which i've never in my life seen such thing at any restaurant!! we placed our order,items ordered:2 fountain drinks 1 agua de limón natural 1 molcajete de mariscos for two people3 tacos de camarón1 fajitas de camarón y pulpo 1 alocadas al marinero for one person The food it self was not good the agua de limon "natural" was given with a pile of sugar right at the bottom, the tacos de camaron didn't have flavor, overall entire food lacked seasoning, alocadas al marinero only had 2 shrimps of 3 different kind which will not fill you up at all, the pulpo on fajitas de camaron was super stinky and nasty and only had 2 shrimps the size of a quarter, molcajete sauce was just straight up tomato sauce. THE CHECK CAME AND FOR WHAT SHOULD'VE BEEN AROUND $140 TURNED OUT TO BE $187 THIS F** PLACE IS INCREDIBLY INSANE, MONEY HUNGRY, AND DISGUSTING!! I COULDNT BELIEVE THE MOLCAJETE WAS 80.99 AND FOR 3 TACOS 20.00!! OVERALL PLACE IS SUPER OVERPRICED AND FOOD IS DISGUSTING!!! NOT WORTH THE $187 AT ALL!!! TAKE YOUR MONEY TO A BETTER DESERVE RESTAURANT THAT DOESNT RIP PEOPLE OFF!!!!

This place is a joke. I went in to order ceviche and walked out with a joke of a serving. The cup is no bigger than a kids drink at any restaurant and i was charged over $18. I was shocked and asked if they were serious and i was immediately told that there were no refunds. $18 for half a cup of ceviche. Not to mention it was dry and flavorless. No wonder there only 2 people in there at peak dinner time. Please DO NOT waste your money here because they wont give it back if youre not satisfied. Yelp wouldnt let me leave no stars They dont even derserve the one star. How theyre in business is beyond me
