Was excited to try this place due to all the excellent reviews here. Drove from McAllen, was super disappointed. Ordered mar y tierra for 2 asked for no chicken all beef, took nearly a half hour for the order to come out, platter came out with chicken which we asked to omit also came out with 2 yes 2 shrimp, told the waiter and he informed me that this $35 platter only comes with 2 shrimp, really? how lame. Also, platter for 2 came with only 1 quesadilla, asked for mixed tortillas and receive 3 corn and 1 flower which were store bought. Honestly, this was the most expensive mar y tierra I had ordered here in the Valley and the worst tasting as well. read more

The food here is great, I've never had any problems with them. The most popular choices with my family have always been botanas, both fajita/chicken and seafood. Portions are VERY generous and a botana for one easily feeds two. A botana for three can go for a crowd of five to six people with leftovers. The seafood botanas aren't as generous, but the food is always delicious. You can ask for rice & beans or small cups of caldo to go with the botana. I prefer the caldo, but the rice here is ridiculous, so either choice is a good call. Keep an eye out for the daily lunch specials too, they have some big meals at low prices. The manager is also very polite and professional and checks up on customers to make sure everything is up to standard. Go here for good Tex-Mex food! read more

Came here with my family. It's a super low-key place that seems to be crazy popular in this area. We had a botana, and from the looks of it, this seemed to be one of their most popular dishes. There were a ton of people picking them up for carry out. Ours was delicious and crazy huge. Five of us tackled the 4 person one, and we finished about half of it. Their lemonade tasted freshly squeezed and was equally delicious. It's nothing fancy, but the food is solid. read more

I like this place! It's a good place. I like their Mexican plate. Every Mexican plate starts off with a soup as a appetizer. Didn't like the soup. We had fun. With the sauce. The hottest pepper. I put it on my nacho and someone dared me to eat it. I ate it it was VERY hot! But back to the story, the Mexican plate was good! In the restaurant. But later I had a stomachache. Growling up a storm. like BUUUURRRRR... I think I can translate that. "I don't think I feel good." That's all... Because SOMEONE HAD TO MAKE THE FOOD REALLY GOOD THAT THEY HAD TO MAKE IT GREASY! "Augh, I need to call mommy before the belly gets BUURRR... Aww. (Throws up)." read more

I've been eating at Mariscos for over 20 years and it's still my favorite restaurant. The old man waiters, big ass cups of tea, and fat yellow cheese are staples at this unassuming establishment. If you order a botana for 1, make sure you can eat for 4 because their portions are gigantic. My favorite day to visit is Wednesday because the special of the day is fried catfish and a huge glass of tea for $6.99...again, make sure you're hungry because it's enough to feed a stoned fat guy. Don't let the weird parking lot, old exterior, and folding chairs fool you...the food, the service, and the prices are excellent! I can't even read the negative reviews...like, really? You're mad because you got one quesadilla? B!tch, you got 14 pieces of fish and 3 pounds of fries! Sit down! Lol read more

I'm completely in disbelief in the way casa de Marisco treats its loyal and frequent costumers. My girlfriend not only got over charged for sides, when her plate clearly came with sides, but I also had the saltiest camaron soup. My girlfriend also called before hand asking if her plate came with sides and was told no over they phone when it clearly stated on a 5 foot menu in the restaurant that it did. When i called Lorenzo the manager on duty, not only was he not apologetic for the situation for i don't live close by, but was requesting that i bring my soup back for evidence that i didn't eat it. In covid times not even McDonald's would ask for food back. They simply would just replace it without being asked. The fact that Lorenzo can't trust a loyal frequent customer, is wrong and demeaning. I myself am a manager in the food industry as well and never would i treat a customer as so. I fortunately will not be returning back to casa de marisco, and will be spreading the word about this terrible experience. read more

Try the Faquita Botana's or the Cheese Enchiladas here, they are delish! Any type of marisco is great here as well. This place is a family favorite and the owner is always attentive and happily greets customers throughout the restaurant. Great ambience & fantastic waiters! read more

Had the menudo that was excellent! Ordered a margarita that was weak and poor presentation. Overall excellent and would return again!

The lemonade has a delicious fresh and natural taste. The portions are generous and the customer service is top notch for this type of restaurant. read more

I recently tried to stop eating meat. Not a good idea when you come to a place like this. Ive been coming here for years (or at least whenever I visit my parents) and Ive never been disappointed. Although lately we have just been ordering the botana's. You really get the most bang for your buck. I dont think there is any place in the valley that has better fajitas. read more

Terrible food - steak tough and fries tasted like month old grease. Saw someone in kitchen picking his nose. Service was good.

The atmosphere was great, service amazing, the food was the best, I'll definitely be coming back when I come to the valley.

This is a really good find. The restaurant is nicely done inside with plenty of seating. Service is just exactly right. They have excellent, non-greasy chips to go with delicious salsa. We have eaten here twice and found all our choices to be delicious. You should definitely come by to check this restaurant out! read more

Usually I would give high marks to this place, tonight was a total fail on them and a legimate business. I had a friend come down from Dallas and I kept telling her she needed to try their botana. I call at 9pm to place a to go and they told me that their "TO Go" is closed? Hence the restaurant closes at 10:30. Very very disappointed, I will be taking my business elsewhere like back to Ciro' s. read more

My wife gets the fajita plate...I get the shrimp plate...and we share..why not just get the marytierra,because their fish taste just ok....but their shrimp are awesome and the fajitas are very flavorful read more

Definitely adding a photo on my next visit. Seafood soup as a starter was worth the trip by itself. My waiter suggested the flounder with garlic sauce. Portion was generous and the taste was amazing. Entrée was a lightly pan fried flounder filet drenched in a decadent garlic butter sauce. The sauce was loaded with minced garlic, however it didn't have an overwhelming garlic punch. 10/10 read more

Best botanas in the entire mid-valley. Would probably also say the best in the entire Valley. Everything that they make and serve is delicious and really fills you up. Get the best bang for your buck here read more

Very dirty location And our food was not good Will never go here again. They didn't treat us good at all waited for our food forever

Huge portions! Botanas for 1 can feed 2 or 3. Fish platters can feed 4. Prices are fair, food is excellent. Catfish plate is second to none! read more

Me and my wife were visiting the Valley for Mother's Day. I wanted to take both by wife and my mother in law to have a special meal for Mother's Day and I was thinking of a "fajita botana platter". I had heard not only from family members but had read the the great reviews on "Casa de Marisco's" great fajita botana platters. The location is easy to find and being the Valley everything is close to wherever town you live in. Our waiter was very attentive and very honest, told us that a fajita platter for two could easily feed the three of us. We were in the mood for ice tea and so he recommended their peach tea....delicious, gotta try it! Their chips and salsa are to die for. When the fajita botana arrived we were amazed at all the food and how delicious it looked. The food was as great and tasteful as it looked....simply delicious(5 Stars)! The food, the service the price...WOW! Folks if you are ever in the Rio Grande Valley you must make a trip to "Casa de Marisco"....5 Stars! read more

Casa De Marisco - Mexican Near Me - Weslaco, Texas

Casa de Marisco is a very good restaurant located in Weslaco. I strongly recommend the Mar y Tiera platter that's a combination platter with half a Fajita Botana, delicious cheese Pancho's and seafood platter shrimp, fish and fries. The restaurant has a lot of patrons that are regulars at the restaurant. You'll see a lot of those customers picking up to go platters of those botana's. I'm from Edinburg and it's definitely worth the drive to Weslaco. Casa de Marisco is a nice Mexican restaurant. read more

When we feel like Tex Mex this is usually our first choice. Great service and huge portions. I don't come here to eat healthy but that is by choice. read more

The botana beef is what we mainly go for. Huge portions for a great price. Lunch deals are great to. The seafood soups are okay but the cerviche is good. Service is always great here. read more

Order a fish platter for two with a cost of 37 dollars. Plate consisted of a bed of rice and fries covered with dry fishy flavored fish, toast and a few shrimp. Worst platter I ever had and far too expensive. I felt ripped off and I will never return. read more

We were at the outlets in Mercedes and were recommended to come here for lunch! Wonderful seafood, botanas look like a mountain of food! Can't wait to go back! read more

Outstanding food, great service, and generous portions. I was very impressed and would certainly go back. I'd recommend the fish tacos or the seafood soup. read more

Our visit to this place was to celebrate my hubbies birthday since it was highly recommended. However, the food was nothing to brag about-- to start off we have never seen rectangular fish served in a reputable restaurant like fishsticks sold in frozen bags. We ordered the mar y Tierra platter as well as mixed tortillas to go with and hubbie a caldo de marisco. We could not believe it when we opened the tortilla warmer as only 2 corn tortillas and one flour tortilla was in it. We questioned it and got a response that is how many came with what we ordered-- and mind you we are a family of five. We ended up paying extra for five more corn tortillas-- store bought at that. Hubbie asked for green salsa and again we had to pay extra for a small thing of salsa. We will never visit this place again :-/ read more
