If I could give zero stars, I would. The service was horrible, I arrived around 7pm and closing time is 9pm. They were sweeping in front of our table, cleaning and prepping for the next day instead of taking our orders. They took our order and forgot to mention one of items was not available no more. After ordering again they took 15 min to bring out our food and only because we reminded them. The waitresses are rude and not friendly at all they don't even bother to smile. When we received the check she added an item we didn't even order. Definitely don't recommend coming here, save your time and money! Horrible service. read more

We stopped by at the recommendation of a friend when we were in town and in the mood for mariscos. The place was crowded, but were still seated immediately. The service was a bit slow and we did have to ask several times for things, but the food was on point. We ordered tacos de marlin, tacos gobernador, raw oysters, ceviche verde, and aguachile de salmon. My favorite had to be the tacos de gobernador!!! They were filled with shrimp and well balanced with cheese. I'd come back if I was back in town, but am now excited to find just as good if not better mariscos in the area. read more

I highly recommend this place to absolutely anyone. Seafood lover or not you've got to try Hector's Mariscos!!! We went to the restaurant and order 6 different ceviches ALL were delicious. The tacos were perfect and customer service.... excellent! We ordered food to be catered for our baby shower and decided to go with their mazatlan and tamarindo ceviche as well as the chicken fajita and carne asada!!! My mouth is watering just writing about it now. Thank you so much for the delicious food!! We will be returning most definitely. read more

I haven't come here in years, but im glad i came today. The waitress was very polite and accommodating. The ambiance was clean and comfortable. The food was delicious and well prepared. read more

I thought the food looked very good online but when I went to have the food it wasn't as tasteful. The food was lacking taste. We also had asked for drinks and the server forgot our drinks. I told them I didn't like the tacos and he discounted one but the other one he didn't so my bf ate it. It also wasn't the cleanest place. I personally haven't gone back and it's been like 2 months and I haven't looked back read more

Service was okay, she seemed to get overwhelmed with the amount of people that were there . I had the small shrimp and octopus cocktail and a fish&shrimp taco plate with rice and beans The beans and rice were cold...not even a little bit warm ... They didn't have modelo negro or sprite... My youngest had a green salad which she absolutely loved My oldest had green Pollo enchiladas and stated that her gramas enchiladas were better but she ate them all (except rice and beans) My husband got a shrimp ceviche tostada and he said it was perfect! He also had the molcajete mix I think, it came with steak and shrimp and soooo much cheese he thought it was amazing...they only gave 2 tortillas at a time... he didn't wana keep asking for more but we had too lol with such a big plate we def needed more tortillas.... Overall very good and definitely recommend read more

Great experience we love the sparkling lemonade and all the ceviche that they offer great family atmosphere

Best seafood in the world area with the best prices. I go to Karina's and leave hungry. At Hextors you leave full and the food is better.

I ordered a to go order a cocktel de camarón y pulpo. It was watery!! Sometime the servers aren't in the greatest of moods

Been coming here for years, my favorite mariscos restaurante. Pues aver por dónde empiezo. So I got the stuffed fish fillet. It was supposed to be stuffed with all types of stuff like bacon and marinated with Chipotle sauce and idk like 5 other things, I got it and when I was about to take a bite there was a giant fucking hair stuck to the food. Great. I usually don't trip but it was big af. So they took it back and I ordered the Chipotle shrimp instead, whatever. The waitress ended up coming back with Chipotle fish fillet. Like bruh.. lol I still ate it and it was hella bomb, as always. First time they ever messed up on me so I'm still giving them 5 stars. Dope atmosphere and great staff read more

Can't go wrong with Hector's Mariscos. They are always consistent with the quality of food they serve. I've basically tried their whole menu LOL but I do have a couple favorites. I love coming on weekends and getting their paella, I love their aguachile verde, it's so fresh!! And I love their molcajeta mixta with all the seafood. Service is great here too!! read more

This place is on point with food and family atmosphere. To start the greeting is right away, the hostess sits you down and the waiters briskly right behind to get you situated, they bring what I think is their house made tortilla chips nice and warm with a homemade salsa that is ridiculously good! The food is phenomenal! The best almejas al popeye, it's clams in the shell with melted cheese, spinach, shrimp and a salsa they add, omfgosh! Must try!!! I eat them with crackers or the chips they bring SO DAMN GOOD!!!!! I have tried others and they won't come close. Another must haves are the shrimp chimichangas and tacos gobernador. If you really want to impress someone and eat like kings and queens you must get the Parrilladas Hector! A combination of all sorts of seafood served with rice , beans and tortillas! Do it! Enjoy! read more

Best smoked fish taco i have ever eaten, nice casual sit down resto at taco shop price, excellent fast service,food and parking.

I try to be the guy to give a place a try, before going off the rating. But unfortunately the ratings are true. The server was quick, clean, and on point with our order. The kitchen on the other hand I don't know. We ordered a shrimp ceviche tostada, the shrimp had a weird taste. We ordered a campechana, seemed like they only put 2 shrimp, and 1/16 of an octopus leg, and the rest was vegetables. I taste ketchup more than anything. Last thing we ordered was 1 taco gobernador, tortilla was burnt (that's all I tasted). Only had 3 shrimps, and 2 small square slices of bell pepper and onion. These tacos are known for being filled with meet cheese and vegetables. THE 3 STARS ARE FOR THE SERVER LUIS. NOT THE FOOD OR QUALITY OF IT. read more

as an immigrant from the asian continent, this is my only favorite american thing even though i live in a country that considers its neighboring countries not american even though they are all located in the north american continent. huh? anyway, pick any item in their menu and none will disappoint. it might take a while to wait for the order because there's a loooot of demand for their food (makes sense everything is good). but it's all worth it c': read more

We heard about the molcajete from a close family member so we decided to come try it. The molcajete mixto (shrimp, Serrano salsa, and steak) comes with a side of rice, beans salad and a small seafood soup). They bring out the molcajete steaming and the steak is really tender. I love that they stack it with shrimp and the Serrano sauce is perfect, not to spicy but enough to give it flavor. Laura was our server, she was so friendly and would check up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be coming back! I didn't try any drinks but from the menu they had craft beer and good cocktail drinks ( clamatos, margaritas etc) read more

Hectors is a good seafood place overall. The service could be better. It was a fight night, so they sent most of their personnel home however, place rapidly got packed and food took twice as long. Our host did apologize and explained the situation. Prices are a bit overpriced but.. that's seafood for you. read more

Hectors is a nice Mexican seafood restaurant located in Chula Vista. One of a few Mariscos type places located in the general area. Nice clean dining area. Chips and salsa was provided as we sat. The menu consists mainly of seafood type items. I ordered the seafood combo enchiladas. It has shrimp, crab and scallops. It comes with rice, beans, and salad. Before our meal was served, the waiter provided a cup of seafood consume. It was good and flavorful. Great way to start before main course. Our food arrived soon after. My meal was very good. Fresh seafood in my enchiladas. I chose the green sauce over my enchiladas. It's a mix of green pepper sauce in cream. Very good with the seafood. The rice and beans were good too. Nice clean dining area. Our waiter was nice and provided good service. Only slight minus is some menu items are a bit expensive for me. But most prices are in the upper moderate range. Still a great place to dine. I can only recommend. read more

We usually go to the newer Hector's in Eastlake but we were close by and were in the mood for good seafood. First glance you will notice that this place is situated in an older small strip mall on Broadway. The restaurant is not very well maintained it is older and shows it. We were not deterred. We stayed and ordered a couple of Mexican beers and got a tray of fresh chips and salsa. The chips were made fresh and tasted great. The salsa was also fresh. Our meal arrived hot and delicious I had the Seafood Grilled plate which in hindsight was enough for two people to eat. My wife who is so much smarter than me ordered a Shrimp Cocktail and one Shrimp taco. The food was delicious and very nicely presented. The waitress was a little slow but nice and friendly. The price was unbelievably low. My beer was under $5 how cool is that and get this they have a Happy Hour with beer for less than $2!! Overall we had a nice dinner at a great price. Considering how bad this pandemic has affected most restaurant's bottom line. We can overlook the walls crying for a nice paint job. We need to support small businesses now more than ever. read more

I love going here during my Lunch Break. I mean just look at my attachment, if that's not the best looking Agua Chile tostada than I don't know what is! The shrimp is super tender and the flavor is superb. I've tried their tacos enchilados, 7 mares soup, consume de pescado, fish taco, coctel campechano, de camarón and I'm always satisfied ! Has a true Baja feel. The staff is the best too! read more

My new go to spot for mariscos in San Diego County. Hector's has the best filete relleno de mariscos (stuffed fish) I've found in the 2 years since La Costa De Nayarit closed. I've tried places from San Francisco to San Ysidro trying to find a replacement for my favorite seafood dish and while a few others in the South Bay have been good this is my favorite version so far. This dish goes by different names: Filete Relleno De Mariscos, sometimes Campechana Filete, Stuffed Fish and one place for whatever reason called it " Don Toño ". Hector's calls the dish "stuffed fish" and what they stuff it with was something a lil non mariscos, BACON !!! Bacon actually goes perfect with the queso fresco, shrimp and butter sauce and seems like an obvious addition. I would've liked for it to have had a few scallops but it's delicious just the way it is so no complaining here. Another good thing about Hector's are their happy hour specials. I got the buy one beer and get the second one for 99cents deal but they also have Cadillac Margaritas specials for the ladies. Tried the aguachile tostada for an appetizer and it was good but what Im coming back for is their stuffed fish. Definitely worth the drive down to Chula 8) read more
