Marisco's El Veneno

I got the camarones zarandeados and they were incredible. If I just had this, I would have given a 5. But my boyfriend's cocktail de camaron was underwhelming, we've had better elsewhere. But they give you free ceviche tostadas as an appetizer and they were incredible. The servers are very friendly and prompt. The other reason I am giving a 5 is because they have live entertainment (singing and/or guitar players), that is really loud. Also they come around asking for money and tips which I was not a fan of. So most of the food is incredible, but I'll probably carry out next time.

BYOB place. Best seafood we have ever had. The portion was great. We order 3 plates for 4 people and it was just enough for us

Came here thanks to a recommendation from someone in San Jose California. Any time you eat marisco's you have the chance of getting sick when it is old or not prepared properly. Scary I know. Well luckily everything came out perfect. Street parking is available. Loud live music was being played the Saturday I arrived. Servers were prompt and got the food out quickly. They gave free complimentary fish toastada. They do not serve alcoholic drinks here, but the food makes up for it.Aguachile - spicy as heckMixta toastada - $9 good. Heavy on the soy sauceBattered Fried shrimp plate - lots of rice, veggies, fries, and a decent amount of shrimpsBacon wrapped shrimp plate - another hefty plate. Sangria special - $12 expensive but hits the spot. Expensive because it's non alcoholic. I would so come back next time I am in Chicago. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food they serve you.

Well honestly i was trying not to expect too much. As seafood often disappoints. This time i can say i was wrong, wrong on the quality and wrong about taste. This is seriously a great establishment for seafood but just one drawback, its too much food! So my mom loves seafood soup but often times it is way too spicey. As usual we ask, "is it spicey?" And usually the waiters say "not too much", and that's usually the lie of a lifetime and mom never gets to enjoy even a few bites of the soup. This time she totally loved it and she said it was the first soup in a long time were it wasn't spicey, and that makes me happy.I order the seafood cocktail, similar to the shrimp cocktail but loaded their way. I mean you can't get fresher ingredients if you fished for the seafood yourself. I was pleased, and you all know this reviewer will keep it 100 and tell you if i loved it or not. I absolutley loved it and the fact that its B.Y.O.B. makes it even more special, come on now. I have to also give special props to the staff. I am absolutley in love on how they were trained to greet and just be sweet with all clients. That says a lot foe the Management, when you have staff that are just beautiful souls and actually care that you are comfortable. This to me (besides the food) will bring me back. Just a pleasure to have Sunday lunch with my mama.

Great food! Service was alright, not the best. And ambience, clean and comfortable

If I can give them 0 stars i will, I went in to dine in with my wife because it was the only seafood restaurant open late. Biggest mistake ever I got charged twice for that meal and I've tried multiple times to work with them on resolving this issue, after many times of going in to try to talk to management (no manager was ever in the establishment when I would go in) to get my money back for the transaction that I was charged double for 80$! Employees even admitting that they had a glitch around the time of my visit. But still not able to refund me my money, which I was technically robbed for. I finally got the owners number and was able to speak to her but after months of her just "looking into it" even promised me to resolve by the end of day, never heard back from her. DO NOT VISIT THIS RESTAURANT, UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY DOUBLE FOR YOU'RE MEAL!!!!!

Amazing seafood! Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Cozy atmosphere and attentive staff. Highly recommend!

I recently visited "El Veneno" in Pulaski, and the service was great i received my order on time but the food was not too good. I ordered my lobster tail & cream to go, and when I opened the bag everything smelled great I was eating some of the sides and everything was great. I then proceeded to eat the lobster, when I took my first bite I noticed an extremely strong chemical-like scent and an overwhelming chemical taste. I spat out the disgusting lobster out of my mouth, I then noticed that the entire lobster smelled. I am utterly disgusted by the quality of the food, please be mindful of your future customers. You have lost yourself a customer.

Terrible no price on their menu "market price" they say we ended up with a $570 bill for a supreme tray and two other dishes they no longer have the seasoned fries I remembered. Really boring atmosphere definitely would not recommend and most definitely I will not be returning

very bad service. we arrived at 11am mind you they open at 10am but it was closed. the employees just started at us from inside we called from outside and they said they were open. when I said we were outside they hung up!! this place is a joke!!
