Caballito Del Mar Seafood Restaurant

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for many years. The service and food has significantly declined. Although our waitress was attentive. The mojarra was too dry and rice was cold. The seafood quesadilla was good it is only reason I agreed to this place. The ladies restroom did not have toilet paper and was unclean. Not to mention the drunk customer who was loud and disruptive. He made the rest of the customers uncomfortable. They need to refuse to serve alcohol to an individual who is clearly obliterated. Lastly the assigned cashier on Saturday evening(11/16/2024) lacked customer service skills . In fact, as we approached the cashier she did not even greet us. Or communicate with us (odd). She simply accepted our money (odd). This cashier should not be allowed to interact with customers. I will not return to this restaurant.

This spot is a hole in the wall kind of looking restaurant BUT I promise you it's so good. My kids absolutely love their shark on the roof. You are limited on the seating but they do allow indoor eating. You do have to wear a mask! No big deal, you can take it off when you sit down. The waitress immediately greeted us and took our drink orders. The owner also took the time to walk over and say hello and introduce himself. We debated on what to order bc everything smelled and looked so good! I started off with oysters and finally decided on filete relleno. It's a fish fillet steamed & "stuffed" with octopus, crab and served with a side of rice and toast. The toast was so good!!! Perfect combination of crispy and buttery. The fish!! WAS DELICIOUS! The servings are so big I could not finish my whole food. My family got an assortment of other options & if you know me , you know I'm going to want to try your food. My favorite of all of them was the red snapper and the fried oysters. Both were delicious. Pretty cool fun fact, the seafood platter comes with frog legs!! Which my brother was excited to try. I'm excited to go back and try more things

Love this place-good hot mariscada soup good fishdo this place once a month good seafood place in the hood small cozy

I come for the mariscada soup, it is so good and piping hot, the horchata is another reason I come to visit. They have a variety of seafood cocktails that are flavorful and go well with a michelada, or beer. Good food overall if you're craving seafood, servers are always nice and mostly Spanish speaking, I've never had trouble communicating my order since Spanish isn't my strong point. Lastly try the desserts, everything is good. The flan and tres leches are my picks.

the food is delicious the owners are very nice they make you feel like you'r in your house they are a blessed family of the times that I was in texas i had to come here like 3 times the food is fresh

Definitely a southside restaurant with the mariachis. A little loud but food good. Nothing to write home about. Homemade Tartar sauce and large shrimp for dinner. Guacamole salad was delish!

$10.70 for about 16 tiny fried smelt is what we were charged. $3 for 3 servings of 2 slices of lemons when were were only served 2 slices. Camaron sarandeado was horrible tasting, turns out all it is in their restaurant is just deep fried shrimp sprinkled with one of the bottled sauces already located at all the tables. This plate was returned.. Never going back.

This place is just like a hug from a guela. I tried the cheese enchiladas and they did not disappoint. Tons of cheddar cheese not that plastic nacho cheese, the gravy was true enchilada gravy not from a can and with little carne guisada chunks. Did I mention this a construction worker appetite plate?? It has 4 red enchiladas paired with creamy beans and well seasoned rice. Nothing needed more salt or spice. It was simple, classic, memory jogging, delicious. The hot sauce reminded me of the Bill miller hot sauce, you know, the kind makes the chips disappearOnly reason this place didn't take the five stars was because the plate with tilapia and nopales lacked some more spice. The fish wasnt gross, well cooked, and other than nopales and cheese it was just a little tomato and onions.

Some tacos we ordered looks and tastes excessive salt . Soups were ok they charge u for extra things that don't make sense at all they . Poor service

I lived my this place most of my life and would give it chance after chance after that disappointed me . But it's just a terrible restaurant
