Delicious. Inexpensive. Spacious. Great Service. Tostadas are real tostadas, no filled w/ cucumber and other veggies; if you ask for a tostada de pulpo or camaron, that's exactly what you get, no fillers. Good amount too, 2 tostadas will fill you up, unless you like to eat a lot. read more

Best place to go for taco Tuesday, period. The tacos are really good, especially the shrimp diablas. They also bring a soup with the chips and salsa that is amazing. And get Tristen for a waiter, he's one of the best. read more

Great food! Clean! Delicioso!! Best mariscos! I've had several dishes and all have been wonderful! 7 mares! Ostiones preparados! Ceviche! Aguachiles! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This place is as joke when it comes to food and service. Oh and god forbid you show up 2 hours before closing time because they will literally tray you as you al were asking for a handout. They missed an entire order, they refused to serve another drink 30 minutes closing time!!! Literally the worst experience. So much for remodeling, work on bigger issues like your crappy service! read more

The food here is phenomenal.. however the service is less than desirable. I agree with the loudness of the band - way too loud ... i can see if they play it that loud after the dinner crowd if they're going to stay open late and turn it into a club at 10 but for dinner when people are trying to relax, eat and conversate it was WAY TOO LOUD (screaming so u can hear me)!! Thabkfully the bar area is closed off so the kids could take they're hands off their ears. We will definitely be back for the food ...on maybe a week night, when hopefully there won't be music as loud. read more

Glad to see more folks are trying out this local gem, the seafood broth soup they serve before every meal is worth stopping in for! Very hearty portions, fresh and authentic too! Clean and fast service. read more

We tried for a new Taco Tuesday place. Regular seafood tacos were $2 each. They have mini tacos for chickens, etc. for $1.99. Happy hours is till 7pm, and a few brand bottled beers were $1.99. Overall it was a great deal with good service and good food. Other menu items were pricey as other reviewers mentioned. I'd like to go back again on Taco Tuesday and try more!! read more

Mariscos el rey has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. Great place for seafood and good drinks.

I had very high hopes for this place, I was visiting from out of town and stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, we were seated very quickly and there was Karaoke going on so I was pumped and in the mood for some good Mexican Seafood. I love Ceviche De Camaron and that is what I ordered but it came with a sweat sauce on top, I think if without the sauce the Ceviche would have been okay. I asked the waitress what the sauce was and she didn't know. Someone from the table next to us send a plate back, lots of locals so maybe I just picked the wrong plate. I asked the person that I went with to try it as well and she agreed that it wasn't good, because of this I'm giving it 1star. read more

We got food poisoning after eating there Saturday night, my bf got it the worst. Service was good though and the place was cute.

Yummy. It's my first time. I really liked the spicy broth and chips and salsa. The service was friendly. It was a bit slow and I didn't see the sever after she took our order but other servers checked on us. The Prepared oysters were really fresh and delicious. We also tried the Morcajete cielo mar y Tierra. Sorry for butchering the spelling. They serve large portions. I recommend this place. read more

My friend and I came here for mariscos with some other friends. Parking was not a problem though it seemed like a small strip mall. As usual with most of the Mexican restaurants I go to and probably the vast majority of Mexican restaurants, there was complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious and spicy. We also received a complimentary seafood soup which was very good. We had quite a bit to eat. I had about a half dozen of the prepared oysters which had avocado, scallop, shrimp, onions and oyster. I dribbled some lime and a little salt onto it and it was delicious. I had some aguachile on tostadas which was excellent. The alcohol was well priced and I had a strawberry margarita as well that was good. Overall, I would definitely recommend. read more

They are okay. I had the coctel in a coco. Not much flavor, portion sizes are big. I also had a mangoniada margarita and it wasn't strong, had to ask for an extra shot. My son got the friend tilapia and he said the fish still had a lot of scales. Plates came with white rice, not the typical red mexican rice and veggies. We won't be going back. read more

Very good food! Nice clean environment, very pleasant servers. Food took a little long than expected but overall good

Nobody picks up the phone! Called 3 times. When I got here to order in person to go the person asked if I called in the order . When I mentioned they didn't answer she disregarded the answer and ask what I want. Customer service is a hard thing to come by these days. I wonder if these people know there's millions unemployed....... food was a solid 6/10. Shrimp was overcooked. Probably go somewhere else next time. read more

Very friendly service and drinks are amazing. The food is good and the bartender really friendly and more than happy to suggest different drinks. read more

Tried this place before and it was OK. Bit when I came here with my wife today, she ordered the fish taco, which was greasy and the filet was dry. She wanted to get something else, but the staff essentially ignored us. Sorry but we aren't returning. Edit: spoke with the manager who comped our meal. He did apologize. Upped the rating from one to two stars. read more

Tried this place for the first time had the molcajete ala diabla was really pretty spicy and flavorful the waitress was very attentive the only thing that sucked was that our order took so long to get to us apparently there was an issue with their system and our order was never put in...so it took about 40 min for half of our food to come and another 20 for the rest..I can't blame it on the waitress being it wasn't her fault but for this reason I can give this place another star. read more

Chilaquiles Modern Kitchen - Molcajete ala diabla very spicy! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I was shipped out here from CT for work and was hungry. I was going to try a local burger restaurant...but I enjoy seafood and Mexican food...but never together. I have now eaten here four times in five days and love their food. The spicy shrimp burrito...delicious and huge. The marlin quesadilla.....thick and tasty. The salsa with the complimentary tortilla chips was odd to me since usually eat the jarred stuff, but you can play with the eight hot sauces while you wait. Some nights they serve a complementary fish broth appetizer.....so good! Love this place! read more

Worst service ever ! Good food but the waitress we got today was so rude and unprofessional

The food was mediocre at best but this place by far the rudest manager I've ever experienced. I originally ordered a tostada de ceviche (camaron) but there was something in the seasoning that was off to me and unlike any ceviche I had ever tasted (and trust me, I've eaten a lot of different styles) so I asked if I could send it back and order something else. The waitress was very sweet and said she would check. When she came back, her manager was with her and he asked me what was wrong with the food. I told him that I didn't like the flavor that the ceviche had and instead of listening to me he proceeded to name all the ingredients it was made with. I told him that I just wanted to switch my dish to something different because even though the seasonings he named seemed to be what I've normally seen used in ceviche (minus the celery salt), there was a flavor that I did not like. He then proceeded to rudely tell me that "maybe my palate was not ready for ceviche because the ceviche he served was just fine". To be clear, my palate loves good ceviche! I have eaten ceviche from different states in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and a many different places here in the valley and not once did it taste anything similar to what I had here. It would not have been a big deal had the rude manager not offended me by the way he handled my request. The poor waitress was obviously mortified at how he handled the situation and was super apologetic when we asked for her to just box my new order (camarones culichi, which were very oily and only 8 small shrimp in the entire dish.) and bring us our bill. Never will go back again. read more

Stood at the front for about 4 minutes. No one greeted me or even knowledge that I was there. I ended up just walking out. What a same they have amazing food. Serves not so much. read more

Bad waitresses they take you're order and they take you're order wrong and when u tell them they tell u they can't exchanged because then she has to pay for it that's BS read more

Had the terra y mar (surf & turf) it was delicious. I split it with my husband and we couldn't finish it all. They had live music, which we enjoyed. read more

Second time here and I'm even more in love than the first time! The carne asada street tacos were amazing. My friend got the green chili burrito and loved ittttt. Bloody Mary's and michaladas are spot on! Their chips and salsa have to be on my top 5 favorite out of all places I've been. I highly recommend this place! Thank you for being 4 minutes from my home! Lol read more

Second time I come here and the service is absolutely horrible. First time I waited over an hour for cold shrimp and potatoes. I'm literally sitting in the parking lot right now writing this because I came in and literally stood there for over ten minutes waiting to be seated and no one came out to greet or seat us. The food is okay and definitely not worth the wait. Sorry to say I won't be coming here again. read more

The place was fun ! We had my daughters birthday dinner here ...lots of great music and drinks! The food was descent.the drinks were my favorite by far ! read more

The food is amazing and and they have good deals. The parrillada al Rey is my favorite from this place. The owner also owns other stores and there good. Five star all day I recommend it read more

Food was amazing! For a northerner with a diverse group here on business, the environment and service added to the pleasurable experience. Thank you! read more

Excellent Sea Food, ambiance was great also the Service, the Food has a very good taste I oredered Octopus and Shrimp Coctel and it was fantastic will be retuning there for sure. All ingredients were perfect I was very satisfied thank you Mariscos el Rey. read more

The service was good. The drinks were mediocre. The food was the saving grace. My wife and I split a few tacos and a meal, which we ended up taking home. The manta taco was very good, however, the marlin taco was flippin' AMAZING!!! The flavor was unparalleled! read more

This place just opened up by my place and I decides to give it a try. So the inside decor was very clean and clearly had a theme. As I opened up the menu, I was a little surprised on the prices, a little high, but further reading it, the portions were quite large. I went with a more of a cost effective choice, I got the half dozen oyster, and three seafood Tacos. I'm thinking I should have gotten two tacos, they were much bigger than I thought. Service was ok. read more

We just tried this deliciously authentic Mexican seafood restaurant tonight, and left muy feliz :)! Chips (thin and crispy) and salsa were good (better than a lot of chains), and they took care of a specialized order of adding shrimp to a fish filet with mushroom cream sauce. The shrimp were big and not over-cooked. We went on the weekend and the live mariachi music was fun, but super loud (and I usually love loud music). Service was friendly and prices were really reasonable! We'll be back soon! read more

Decided we needed shrimp, but it was midnight... Mariscos El Rey to the rescue. The portions were large, and the quality was great. The one thing that really amazed me from a strip mall Mexican joint was the service. You need to give the young guy that works late at night a raise! We just came from a fancy dinner at a well known chef's restaurant and all I could think is how their service paled in comparison to how we were treated here. He made sure we knew what we were getting into, was personable, polite, attentive but not annoying, and the manager even popped out to say hello. Overall way better than expected in every aspect. read more

My go to spot for the past 2 and half years the food is so bomb they have the best sea food hands down I always something different and I've never been disappointed and the service is really nice nothing to complain I really recommend the agua chilles (verdes) or the coco con camarón, coctel de camarón read more

Don't even bother with the medium shrimp cocktail...go for large. It was amazing and great for those on diets. Literally the best Mexican food I've ever had. Also, I usually walk away from Mexican food feeling sick from all the fried foods and cheese. This time I felt great, but still full. I'm doing Weight Watchers, and found the shrimp cocktail is a great way to have Mexican food and still stay on the diet. I will be back. read more

I'm picky AF. Nothing is ever good enough to eat for me. However, despite only having two things from their menu I can tell only one thing. This place is going to shine. The taste is inordinately fresh, lemony acidic to a level of perfection unseen by me at other lesser establishments. I would come here more often despite the 8 mile drive. A little more $$ than the last place I ate seafood at but this is at a much higher quality. Mariscos el Rey is something to shake a stick at.... read more

I really loved their food well cooked excellent flavor and fair price! I had a molcagete and a seafood sampler I forgot it's name though The staff was very friendly awesome service! Would recommended to friends and family! read more

I ordered a breaded fish fillet, not impressed, the fillet was horrible. I had to ask for something else, so I tried the carne asada which was ok. The rice was also ok. Oh and they have a cool juke box but when it played music, too loud @noon I get it, party time but it's noon not club hours which by the way seem like they have a karaoke area. Mariscos el Rey doesn't really fit the bill if your fish fillet sucks more than a mcfish burger. read more
