    Super michelada and small botana

    Bomb food, BOMBBB micheladas, good & quick service. All the servers are very kind and helpful! I visit this place almost weekly at this point and have ordered many different items from the menu. ALLLL have been delicious. My favorite has definitely got to be the canchanilla shrimps though or the steak and shrimp plate. We always always always get the botana before dinner and it is sooo good!! But it's really the MICHELADAS that bring us back again and again and again. I order the double and it leaves me very filled up LOL trying to finish the super should be a challenge! It is definitely too much michi for one sitting like if I order a super, i definitely don't need any food to go with it. I honestly think the Marisquero michelada may just be one of the very best in the area! I really don't think I've had a better michelada in Modesto and I have tried them a lottttt of places. LOVE THIS PLACE

    This is the menu

    If I could I would give this restaurant 0 Zero stars, I am very disappointed in the food and I have been going there for a very long time now. I ordered a combination plate carnitas with rice and beans. The carnitas were burnt and very salty they were horrible I pre-ordered and I brought it home I'm very disappointed and honestly this place has permanently now lost my business I will not be going back ever again. I had ordered it for my spouse as a Valentine's surprise very disappointed we both got sick to our stomach if I wanted a plate for the salt I could have just served me salt seriously..

    Burrito was pretty mid but this is what I received as a salad. I get that it's not on the menu but my 8 year old sister can make a better salad ..

    2 carnitas tacos.

    Full flavor pork with just enough bark. Double grilled tortillas with zippy salsa and fresh cilantro and onion. Soccer was on the TV in the dining area, so it had to be good! #spicemeister approved!

    They used to have larger glasses for the beers. I think it's possible that they use the large beer glasses to lure first time customers into returning, then are notified via a biometric scan or rdif chip that a customer is returning and they give them the smaller beer glasses. The aguachile is always good the relleno is good the cocktail is good. 805 Pacifico bud dos x dark dust bowl and modelo on tap. Foods good wait staff is nice locals are friendly

    Chips and salsa

    Did you guys know we've been searching for good chilaquiles? This Mexican breakfast dish (usually with tortillas cut up, fried, with red or green sauce) is a favorite and the standards are high. El Marisquero (a local recommendation) totally delivered! We got red AND green versions, and our group praised both! The enchiladas and chile verde sope also very good. The (huge) micheladas at another table looked amazing - we'll need to try those when we come back!

    Delicious food, good place, reasonable priced. Bring cash or pay a 3% service charge.

    Had left Akitaca Crab when they totally had us wait when there was no line and plenty of tables…read more Went to Bag o crab and this place was way busier and lines of peeps waiting. We put our name on the list and had to wait 10 mins to get seated. We didn't mind since they seem to have more staff to handle the crowd. We got seated and within a minute or so, our waitress came over to greet and take our order. We got the combo 3 with Dungeoness crab seasoned with garlic butter medium. Added 2 garlic noodles and 2 side of rice. Overall, I got my crab fix and my wife had her shrimp fix. Our waitress Soledad was great. Very friendly and attentive. This is my go to place whenever I'm craving for seafood!

The bag arrived much spicier than expected, and my friend was barely able to eat it. When we brought it up, our server immediately insisted it was the correct spice level rather than checking with the kitchen or trying to find a solution. She also assumed I would finish the entire bag myself, when I explained we share one, and would have to charge us extra for a new bag or small side portion for my friend but it was not our mistake. What disappointed me most was the lack of service recovery. There was no apology, no effort to investigate, and no attempt to accommodate the situation. Mistakes happen, but good customer service is about how they're handled. Unfortunately, I left feeling dismissed rather than helped.

The waitress explained items on the menu that we had questions on with no problem. She was very attentive and welcoming. The Food was the best and the Margarita flight was worth every penny and was completely on point! I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back. Don't let the outside stop you. You will be happy you gave it a chance. The atmosphere was also very welcoming and comfortable and there were a lot of TV's everywhere so we were able to watch the game from anywhere we wanted to sit.

But once you walk in, it's a completely different experience! I ordered the sizzling rock with chicken, steak, shrimp, cactus, salsa, cheese, and even a little piece of chorizo. It came out sizzling and smoking, which made the presentation so fun! The flavors were delicious, and it came with rice and beans. I also tried the ginger mint drink, and it was SO refreshing! Definitely something I'd order again. The only thing that was a little off for me was the rice--it had a slight taste that I didn't love. Other than that, everything was really good. Fun tip: They also do a really cool birthday celebration! You get to wear a HUGE sombrero while they bring out a giant sparkler. Such a fun way to celebrate and make a memorable experience. Definitely a hidden gem worth checking out if you're in Modesto!

It took him awhile to take our order too. The food came out good. We each ordered different items since there's quite a selections. The food is authentic for Vietnamese food. Bun Bo hue (spicy noodle soup) was good pho - was good Vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp and egg rolls- was good and a plus for the fish sauce to my taste Banh hoi with grilled pork- a lot of vegetables and was good. Rice plate with grilled pork, steamed eggs, shredded pork (bi) and tofu/shrimp patties (tau hu ky)- was also good Rice plate with grilled chicken and all the other items - was good Dim sum- was good Overall, everything was delicious except the unfriendly service we had with the guy. But will come again. Update: came back again on a Friday evening on 12/5/25, same thing with the guy. Had this RBF, very unfriendly, makes the guests vibes so unpleasant. He shouldn't be a waiter and should just be in the back. Customer service is very important. Anyways, thank goodness that he didn't wait on my table, it was a lady and she was pleasant. Again... food was amazing and delicious. I'll still come back and just have to disregard this person's attitude.
