Servers were friendly. The prices displayed on the menu are out of date and they basically charge whatever they want. Octopus was mediocre. Menu said 16.99, and for that it would have been ok, bad definitely not for the 28 they charged us. We will definitely not be back. read more

Las Islas Marias - Biggest oysters ever, but not good. - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Let's start off with the service. The servers, Yaneth, Michel, Ashley, Cabrera and Xóchitl, are outstanding. They are on top of things and if one of them is tied up, any of the others will willingly take care of the customer. The food: Everything we've tried has been outstanding. We normally start off with the guacamole and fish chicharron. You are served a large portion of guac (sometimes hard to finish) and the chicharron (fried fish strips) that sometimes make a full meal. Any of the entrees we've tried have all been great. I am not one for octopus (too rubbery) but my wife ordered a whole one and had me try it. It was actually soft and easy to chew. Not that I would ever order it, but if you like octopus, I believe you'll like it. Their pasta dishes are awesome and you can even ask to remove any seafood you don't like from the dish (such as octopus!) My wife likes the Mojarra a la Diabla which is whole tilapia in a red sauce. I've tried it, it's good, but I just can't eat something that's staring back at me. Try this place. It's small and sometimes parking is hard to find but well worth it. read more

I don't know where to start bragging about Las Islas Marias! I have been a loyal customer for years! This restaurant isn't only for good food but the perfect establishment for entertainment and people watching! At every visit it never fails to see something unusual. From clowns performing... to mariachis... to people selling random things. One time a lady walked in carrying a table to sell... so yes this restaurant i believe function on Mexico time lol and I am in love with it! Also the food is super good! My favorite is the shrimp Nayarit that sauce you can drink on its own! All of their ceviches are amazing! Very well seasoned, spicy, citrusy and tangy! No need to add anything to it just scoop with the tostada and enjoy! Pair it with a cerveza preparado and you are all set! read more

Freaking AMAZING MARISCOS!!!! I will say best mariscos in San Antonii!! Molcajete Kora is my favorite! read more

Es el típico sabor de mariscos, los mismos platillos que hay en todos los restaurantes de mariscos, no está mal, pero nada diferente

The service was amazing along with the food. Our waitress Xóchitl was especially amazing. 10/10 recommend.

This is by far my favorite Mexican Seafood place in San Antonio. This place is similar to ones in East Los Angeles. The Aguachile Verde is the best as well as their other menu items. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating. The dining area is clean and I love the ocean decor. If you are from the East LA area i suggest this place. read more

Las Islas Marias - Pasta Marinera - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We decided to check this restaurant out on a Sunday. I know, I know... I expected to have to wait a longgg time but surprisingly no. We waited maybe 15-20 mins? For a party of 6. We got a booth that was surprisingly accommodating. We all got different things and they all tasted very delicious! I want to go back and try so many more different options because the family next to us ordered some delicious looking good. read more

This was my second time there. I hadn't been since when they first opened. As I was driving up I was wondering why I never went back. I remembered once the food came. I ordered shrimp in a butter garlic sauce as listed or camaronnes al ajo as it's called other places. It was gross. Not sure how else to describe it. I feel like I want to puke it up now. The cantarito my tequila drink was good. I'm grateful I ordered it because it's topped off with soda. Soda I need to burp the food. Once the server served us she never came back. We asked for our ticket twice before finally getting it. Then when we went up to cash out the cashier stayed on the phone. Yes, she was helping a customer on the line but never acknowledged us other than to take payment. My boyfriend liked his paella. It was extra soupy. I've never seen soupy paella. I'll keep this review as a reminder next time not to go back. Oh, and the music was blaring. I must be getting old but it was super annoying.. read more

I really hate to do this but I don't know how you people can eat this. That only tells me that people around here do not know good seafood. This was straight up food poisoning. The fish meat, shrimp was chewy and old. Trash. I took a few bites and called it quits. That was enough to make my stomach hurt. To the people who left this disgusting place good ratings: y'all crazy. Close this place down! read more

Service and food were awesome. The location needs to be a lot bigger because it was packed, for good reason.

Great seafood and location is very clean. Service is kind and efficient. The location is not very accessible and that's why it's 4 and not 5 stars. The caldo de camarón is my favorite! read more

Depending on the time of day you show up seating is almost immediate. Otherwise you're waiting quite long (it's worth it). I LOVE this spot. The appetizers are good the drinks are good the crab legs and mojarra is always perfect. Molcajete Cora is perf to share! The Nayarit sauce is out of this world and perfect with any dish! Rice is always cooked perfectly as well! Would come more often if I could! read more

The food was way to buttery for my taste. It doesn't look nice and neat like the menu suggests. They brought up this massive heap of seafood but it was drowning in butter. If you like that then you'll love this place but I couldn't eat it. The service was good and so was the atmosphere Max read more

This place is complete chaos in the most mind-blowing way. At one point I thought to myself "Am I still in America?!" English speaking? Nope. Everybody speaks Spanish. Maximum capacity? Nope. Never heard of it. The place was even packed at 3:30pm and there was no downtime for the entire 3 and a half hours we were there. More and more ppl just kept coming in. There was even a long line in the bathroom hallway. I thought ppl were waiting to use the bathroom. But they were actually waiting for a table. Any rules/formalities? Nope. Ppl eating a pizza they brought from outside. Cribs bumping every table. Lady trying to sell her table and chairs to everybody she sees. It is such a wild place for ppl watching! I felt I was eating in the middle of time square in Mexico. Yeah I know that doesn't make sense. I didn't think so either. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I got constant stares as I was the only non-Mexican looking person in there. See, there is an Asian girl! She got two eyes, two ears, and a nose! Crazy experience. Making sense doesn't seem to matter here. Everyone's goal is just to eat like they have been starving for the past 10 years! When in Rome, do what the Romans do. That's exactly what my friend and I did. We got ourselves margaritas and plenty of Mexican seafood. My mango margarita was delicious. The ceviche with green sauce was so fresh and spicy. Spot on! The best part was the Nayarit style shrimp. It was not like anything I've tasted before. Omg it was so addicting that we kept licking our fingers and ordered ourselves a second plate right away! Best shrimps ever! I'm so glad I came. Not to mention a random mariachi band just popped in twice and one of the mariachi old man took a instant liking at me and kept waving. I waved him back every. single. time! Superb food, one of a kind experience. BOMB.COM!! read more

My husband and I have made Islas Maria's our go to mariscos spot. We came here for the first time 3 months ago and have been back every week since for put 'Mariscos Mondays'. The entire menu is seafood ... from filets of fish to mixed seafood plates to Baka style shrimp cocktails. I can pick a favorite dish because I have so many at this point! We'll be coming back here to try some new menu items as well as our faves. Highly recommend for a date night, drinks and appetizers with friends or just to eat with the family. ***they also give 10% Military Discount read more

Las Islas Marias - Seafood stuffed Chimichangas for an appetizer. Absolutely delicious. - Seafood Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We came for the ceviche. Busy place for a Sunday late afternoon, it was crowded but it felt comfortable. I enjoyed the food and the service, My husband said the ceviche was a little too sour for him due to the limes they cook it in, I loved it because I love lime, so if you're not a big fan of lime I suggest you try something else, the portion sizes were good with good prices, you can even share a plate of ceviche for 2 people. read more

Mediocre does not even begin to describe the food here and the service was among the worst I've ever experienced. The waitress seemed bothered to have to take our order, her attitude was short and she made us feel rushed. I wouldn't go back if the food were free read more

I Yelped tacos in the area i was in and this place came up. I ordered the stuffed lobster. It's stuffed with shrimp, octopus, abalone and i believe crab. Not bad. Food was tasty and flavorful.

Knowing that today's meal after church was going to be seafood and it being not so far from my place of worship, I decided to give it a try. I brought a few friends and had them explore " mariscos". Quite a difference and compared to the way we have been used to eating seafood. It's not all fried. It's grilled, broiled, and possibly boiled too! To start with, be prepared at the cost, it is a bit pricy but you will be satisfied after you have tasted a good portion of the food. It's well worth it for a party of four. Our appetizers, empanadas de camaron and fish grinds came out quickly as did our "parilla " plate full of under the sea crustaceans. Todo fue muy sabroso! read more

Aye caramba! This place is muy delicioso! Some of the best seafood I've had around here! Absolutely delicious stuff. The place is in a small place along SW Military that's easy to miss. I really enjoyed the menu. Only one item here is fried. The rest are all served in much healthier ways. The drinks here are plentiful and varied. They have everything from margaritas to aguas frescas to a beer can topped in cucumbers, shrimp, and Tapatio hot sauce. I can't say I've ever (intentionally!) had seafood in my beer, but somehow it worked in an ice cold Tecate. The menu is mainly ceviches, each of which is more imaginative than the next. I got a molecajete cajo, which is a spicy bowl of mussels, shrimp, octopus and cucumbers. It was honestly one the best ceviches I've had! Really fantastic. The service was great, but they didn't speak English. However, the menu has all pictures so it's easy to point at the photos if you're having difficulties. They have live music too! While we were leaving, an accordion player and his band were setting up. Viva! Parking is not the best in the front, but there's a large lot in the back that makes it easy! I highly recommend that you check this place out. read more

Saw this place from the corner of my eye and I had to stop. And I am soooo glad that I did! They have the Mexican style seafood that I have been craving in San Antonio. There were no tables open when we arrived but we only waited about 5 mins. They even had mariachis (I'm not sure if it was only because it was a Sunday) I ordered a Sangria Preparada that was perfect! I can't remember the name of the dish I ordered. It was fully loaded with crab legs, shrimp, clams, fish, and octopus, in what I think was a stew. It was a nice spin on seafood. Definitely will be going back. read more

Highly recommend it! We went on a late Friday night near their closing time, and I was scared that the food wouldn't be good because it was so late. But it was delicious! Our server was very attentive, as soon as we sat down she placed chips and two kinds of salsa along with A small plate of ceviche (i think). The chips were very crunchy and homemade one of the salsa's was hot and the other mild, we loved the small plate of ceviche we even wanted to ask for more! My husband got the pasta Marinera and I got the paella. The paella was a little bit on the spicy side, I loved my plate but I enjoyed my husbands more. Portions were very well served and the food was yummy! read more

To the white people out there (im one of them) , don't be scared of this place because they don't really speak English. We are Californians who traveled from Austin and this is the closest thing to quality mariscos we have had. Ceviche: complementary , sooooo good. Don't forget to add a little bit of tapatio to really bring out the flavor. Molcajete Cora: So good! Spicy with a hint of lemon . It was soooo good.seriously , and enough for two. The salsa's are good too, way more authentic than any tex-mex salsa. If you are a newbie, I'd order the ceviche plate and enjoy that because good ceviche is hard to come around. read more

So far, I've only stopped by to pick up ceviche and Mexican shrimp cocktails to go, but they are FANTASTIC! I can't wait to stop in to eat and try other dishes. Tastes are very fresh and well-balanced, plus they throw in avocado and tortillas. My Yelp rating system: 5 stars= Driving across town just for this! 4 stars= I would recommend visiting. 3 stars= Average, acceptable, positive. 2 stars= You might be able to drag me in. 1 star= I will definitely not be returning. read more

Want spice? Want seafood? Don't want it fried? This may be the place for you! I was impressed with this place from the moment the waitress placed a basket of tostadas on the table with an accompanying bowl of complimentary ceviche. And it wasn't a tiny bowl either; there was plenty of it there for three of us to enjoy. I ordered the sublime filete de pescado relleno plate. This was a huge fish filet with shrimp, octopus, peppers and I don't even know what else under a layer of melted cheese. It came with white rice and some very nice grilled vegetables."Sabroso" doesn't even come close to describing this beauty. This was one of the best lunches I've had in a long time. I had been a little unsure of the octopus--it can sometimes be a little too chewy for my taste--but it was sweet and tender. This place is a keeper--check it out! P.S. One of my companions, Elite Yelper Chris A., had the mixed fajitas of beef, chicken and shrimp, which he enjoyed. Will he write his own review? Keep watching this space! read more

I arrived pretty late on a Friday evening after work. I actually had driven by the place and saw what looked like to be a Mexican Trio entertaining the diners so I figured, why not? The place was packed to the gills and a waitress eventually wiped a table down for me and took my drink order. Something about Mexican beer and seafood being the perfect match. Or possible the spicy seafood make the beer a greater thirst quencher! A Pacifico was brought to me--although I ordered a Victoria--along with a basket full of golden tostadas and saltine cracker packets. A tiny bowl of ceviche was brought to the table along with a duo of green salsas. The ceviche was tasty and had a much different appearance that I have been accustomed to previously. The tiny pieces of minced fish resembled crumbled queso fresco mixed with a pico de gallo. I then opted for the mixed ceviche plate: a combo of fish and shrimp ceviches. I tasted the salsas and boy were they hot! Actually, one was more tangy than hot. The ceviches were both fresh and tasty and the portions were fairly large. They have other seafood offerings like the legendary pescado zarrandeoado. I'll probably be back, although I wouldn't haunted in my dreams if I didn't. I'll definitely try to find a better deal although for seafood, I think only Mexico can beat current seafood prices. read more

This food is very plain and pedestrian. Food for people who drink "Miller Lite", watch football, and drives a Ford F-150. I sent back the "chicken chipotle", it's a chicken breast flatten down thinner then a tortilla. The chicken was so over cooked it was crunchy and dried out with flat-top markings. The chipotle sauce didn't have a ounce of heat spice and was watery and lack favor. Only cops and beer drinkers would think its good. The fajitas was also a disappointment, the meat are pre-cut and I know the meat is cooked without any seasonings. Which is why the meat was so dried any flavorless. To give meat flavor you have to season your protein with salt and pepper for the meat to come out moist and have flavor. None of that here. Food. 1/10. read more
