If you think about this restaurant as a restaurant in Mexico, the issues go away. The issues are tables that could be cleaner and the same with the floor. On the other hand, I was there only noon-Hispanic person in the restaurant and I was referred by a Hispanic person. The overall theme is the sea, which goes hand-in-hand with the name. Mariscos means shellfish); bucanero is a pirate. Do this is the overall theme. The music was Hispanic and their was the Hispanic channels on the tv. The salsa is hot and yummy. I could taste the veggies in the salsa. They don't have Jarrito's (Hispanic pop) but they do have Topo Chico which comes in a earthen glazed cup like in Mexico. Generally, I don't like temple cheese dip, and I'm honestly not sure it's authentic, but this one actually tastes like cheese. I ordered the shrimp rellenoes (is this the correct plural?) My camarones relleno was humongous. It had more crust than I like and was extremely messy, so I eventually scalped my relleno to mostly the inside. I tried the beans and my goodness, they were the best beans I've ever had. The rice was good today, but the lightly flavored rice of central and South America. P.S. there were beggars outside which was ignored by the restaurant. I think this is indicative of the Hispanic culture of love and let live read more

I have seen the reviews and yes the building might not be aesthetically please but if you are craving Mexican seafood then this is an amazing place to go eat at. I love ordering octopus tostadas which would be similar to pico de gallo with octopus. I also love ordering green aguachiles or as we say it in Spanish aguachiles verdes those tostadas have shrimp that have been soaked in a spicy Lemon sauce. Perfect for anybody like me that likes lime flavored stuff. Steaks are also good here. read more

El Nuevo Buka - Shrimp and octopus tostada as well as a crab tostada - Seafood Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I've never eaten seafood so horrible in my life it is definitely not recomended but my nephews burger was pretty good

Ok so upon a suggestion I decided to try this place. On appearances its a bit run down looking but the parking lot was full and thats usually a good sign. The menu takes a bit to go over because its in spanish and then some words are listed at the end in english - pretty much the proteins are in english however if you dont know mexican foods then you are a little unsure how this protein is prepared and with what it will come out like. I took the safe route and ordered micheladas, cervice, and steak fajitas. Everything was delicious - however the waitress was a bit slow to check on us, or bring the check and i'm very open minded having worked in the service industry but after we were done eating we waited about 15 mins for the check as we just sat there looking for her (note at this point it was not busy) The dishes were great, they are in the $10 range and big. The micheladas are so cute they come in a strange clay mug with celery, cucumbers and shrimps (with heads and body attached) hanging on the side. Overall if you want authentic mexican with an emphasis on seafood then I suggest this place! read more

Food is pricey, but it's worth every penny! I got the camarones culichi and it was amazing! They bring out fresh tortillas and they're the best tortillas I've ever had. I didn't know tortillas could be that delicious. Would put 6/5 stars if I could! read more

Mediocre food. Pretty sure seafood is frozen. Get ready to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND. Paid 25$ "meal" of 6 missly individual shrimp. Ordered it to go and waitress still wanted me to give her tip. Ha! For what? To pass me the bag. read more

Food was EXCELLENT! Vast variety of things to choose from on menu, fresh made tortillas, wonderful selection of hot sauces available to try and choose from. Service was great. Will be coming back. read more

YUM! I was so excited to try this place and it didn't disappoint! Their menu is huge and a bit overwhelming but definitely something for everyone. With unique seafood dishes, regular Mexican items, and steaks how can you go wrong. I loved their salsa and even mixed a bit of the spicier salsa with the regular to add a kick. They've done a good job at adding short English translations of their menu items below the regular descriptions but I highly encourage not to visit unless you have speak Spanish or have someone that can translate for you. It makes the experience much smoother just knowing that you don't have to worry about any language barriers. Service was great and attentive. My food was out of this World and included Grilled Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, Steak, Chicken, Avocado, rice, beans, pico, sour cream, and guacamole. Don't let the menu prices be intimidating because their portions are easily enough for 2-3 people to share. PS. The Michelada is a MUST TRY! read more

Ordered chicken enchiladas here it took about 30 minutes for the food to get out to us. Everyone that ordered seafood got their meal before us. For it being a so called Mexican restaurant the can not cook enchiladas. The seafood that they brought out to the other people looked awesome. But our food was awful the rice wasn't Mexican rice it was white rice and also the beans were canned beans. The chicken enchiladas didn't have no sauce but may be three big handfuls of melted cheese. My first bite of the rice was cold. Really for a 30 minute wait I would think it would be hot. Never again. This restaurant needs to take off the Mexican food and just menu there seafood. I wouldn't even give them one star. read more

First time there and impressed with quality, price, taste and amount of food. We could only eat about half of what they provided on the Grilled Seafood Platter for 2. Leftovers for dinner tomorrow and we will be going back again. read more

Good food good service ordered oysters and a grilled mix of seafood the oysters were good and also had jalapeños wrapped in bacon and stuffed with a shrimp. The mix of seafood was ok corn tortillas are the way to go here the flour tortillas are not the best and kinda chewy. The only thing I can't stand is loud stressful music I wish they would put something calm and to where you can hear your partner or lunch date talk. Overall not too bad of experience just can't stand when I can't enjoy my food over stressful music. read more
