    Really great seafood here. They recently changed their menu a bit so there is a bunch of things on the list I want to try. Lots of seating here. Service is really good even through all the noise. Parking can be a bit of a mess since there's only one way in a no way out.

    Seafood tostada

    The food was delicious. I had a seafood tostada and shrimp cocktail. The mango chamoy margarita was also delightful. My friend had the Peruvian seafood soup and it did not disappoint.

    This is by far my favorite seafood restaurant in Austin. Every dish I have tried, I have loved it. You should try the Mariscada Mario, the oysters, the Vuelve a la Vida cóctel, the Pulpo Asado. The Micheladas are also great, but try the Oyster Shot (wow!). The service is very friendly, and I have been there to watch games and fights. Great place!

    Great ambiance! The music was cheerful and they even have mariachi some of the days! My server was attentive and always checked on us , I had the torre of mariscos , was nice and fresh. All the food was fresh and delicious!

    Molcajete carne asada
    Tina D.

    I would say this establishment is more like a Mexican seafood fusion than just a seafood restaurant. The service is always great here and never had to wait to be seated. Get their molcajete carne asado! So delicious with sausage and cactus. Really flavorful too. Their caldo 7 mares broth and seafood in there was tasty! One thing that I didn't like as much was the zarandeado. The shrimp just taste salty and nothing special especially for the price. It came with two sides and I got the shrimp fried rice and beans. Avoid the shrimp fried rice side. It was dry and tasteless.

    Between the five of us we had 2 person fajita with chicken, beef, and shrimp with the fixings, fajita tacos, fried shrimp, and seafoseafood stew. The FOOD ALL were absolutely tastey and so filling. The atmosphere was great. The service was good. We were so glad to try this place. The taste of everything down to the salsa were flavorful. Must return to try other men items. Yummy!!!!

    We were in the mood for seafood and Mario's popped up, so we decided to give it a try. It was lunchtime for us and mama was getting hangry, so her order needed to be hot and correct. Well....they got the hot right but they fried her fish instead of grilling it, as requested; Then later we figured out they forgot her side of tortillas. She was too hungry to give it back, so she ate it like that. She said it was ok and wouldn't come back but my hubby on the other hand said he wants to give it another try because they were out of oysters, due to the storms down south, so he would like to go back for those. He had Nayarit ceviche and a caldo that was too spicy for my tio but when he had it he said it was ok, taste was off. He also had a michelada that was good. I had Rellenos (stuff jumbo shrimp) with shrimp fried rice. Shrimp was delicious but rice was ok. I also had a drink I believe was the Cantita in a cute ceramic mug and it was tasty. We all had some appetizers of Calamari and Tostada Mazatleca-ceviche. They were good but Nothing really stood out for me except the stuffed shrimp and drink. Some of their prices are a little much with certain items but overall, expect to have a pricey bill because it is seafood. Our server Erika was nice and friendly. The rest of the staff seemed productive. It would have been nice to have been offered a discount or a comp for the mess ups but it didn't happen. That bathrooms were clean and they provided seating right away even for a group of nine. Overall, It was a decent experience. I'll probably go back when hubby wants to try the oysters.

    Seafood soup

    I order two dishes, don't remember the name but i have photos below. The fish and crab is fresh, taste very good. I love the way you deep fry the fish, make me remember my hometown ( Vietnam). The price is affordable, i also have discount on Monday which I don't know. Mario seafood gave us such a very warm welcome to Austin Highly recommend Mario seafood

    They use oyster shells as decoration outside. Super cool!

    Stopped in for some oysters and margaritas. Unfortunately they were out of oysters which made my heart sad. We spoke with the bartender as I'm gluten and dairy intolerant. He wasn't knowledgeable about my food issues but was super helpful on finding something to meet my needs. I decided on the shrimp tostada. I told him if I see something that doesn't meet my needs my husband can eat it. The tostada came out and was delish. I would recommend getting one per person in the future. The drinks were strong and delicious. We had Mexican martini and margaritas. Overall a cool chill pass. I would love to come back and try more food and drinks.

    C'mon man.... Not a hater, just a true review and being generous with the stars Been driving by this place for months wanting to find a reason to stop for some Mexi-style seafood & oysters Understand its desperate, tough times and thank you for being open. but dang man, y'all gotta get some things right if you're gonna take peoples money Seems like you been outta oysters for awhile now, at least put a sign up if I have to wait for service Stale crackers? Throw that shit out, man, they only cost like $7 a box Get your bar cleaned up, makes customers think everything else is dirty, don't need to wait till the end of the night to clean Fried fish was fresh and cooked perfectly but not sure exactly what type of fish it was, seafood cocktail was as expected, nothing unique Sorry but I didn't find anything intriguing or able to recommend here, not even basic cantina/food truck level need to step up your game for the pricing, I guess you can draw business from the nearby hotels Would like to try again if you're still open in the future

    Don't listen to these haters. You have to be a sad, sad person to leave bad reviews for a place that just opened. I had a bomb ass meal here tonight. Lemme tell you about it. Mario's Seafood serves up LEGIT mariscos (seafood) in the old Applebees. Honestly, this is one of the best trades ever for the Austin food scene. We've really needed some quality ceviche, and Applebees? I'm not even going to go there. The shrimp coctel was absolutely killer. Some of the best I've had. It was super fresh and a nice portion. Bits of habanero and some other spice I couldn't identify, but was all about. Had camarones zarandeados and a couple big pieces of pepino on the side. So artfully presented! My aguachile negro mixto was also great. The mixto version comes with oysters and scallops, which pair great with the shrimp. I recommend getting the mixto instead of the regular aguachile. And the spice - it was spicy (like an aguachile negro should be) but not overwhelming. My mouthburn steadily incremented throughout my meal, but I finished all of it. I was sweating a little at the end, but it was sooo good! All of the mariscos were tender, flavorful and FRESH, which is the most important thing with mariscos. My wife's michelada was bien hecha tambien. Downsides - prices seem to be all over the place. Some things are priced right, some things seem a few bucks too high. But for quality ceviche in Austin? I'm not complaining. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu, and SOON!

    Tacos de Birria. Just fat, no meat

    Was angry to see that the Birria Tacos had no meat, just lumps of fat. They were the only thing I ordered and were a disgusting disappointment

The staff were kind and friendly too! I got the special of the week--a gyro taco-- and the fish n chips taco with a side of queso. He got the gyro taco as well and corn elote. The gyro taco was our absolute fave! The queso was so gooey and delicious, and the corn elote was everything too even though it wasn't on the cob. They have tacos, bowls, nachos... a really versatile menu suitable for any hungry person! They also have this velvet cake that I plan to get during my next visit--yes, we will be back!

Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

    My first time ever trying Michelin star tacos!…read more Suedero tacos and they were amazing! Juicy, tender, and with a squeeze of lime and salsa (red plus green) it was perfect! Like your girl can eat tacos but I had never been one to be like let's go get some cause I am craving them. But man cuantos tacos can definitely get me saying I want and crave them! I thought prices were pretty fair at 2.75 a piece. After much researchon what to eat in Austin this is one of the spots that I saved as a bookmark.While I was in Austin, a foodie friend on Instagram shared with me her list of recommendations since she just moved to Austin not too long ago. I knew that Ihad to stop by Cuantos Tacos, I mean how often do you see a Michelin BibGourmand taco truck. We came here for dinner but it was cold, sprinkling, anddark out. Tables they had were wet from the sprinkle.  My family only triedthe suadero taco ($2.75 per taco) but OMG it was the best thing we ate duringour trip in Austin. It was super memorable, the meat was soft and the salsaadded the perfect kick to it. It's been a month, my husband and I are still daydreamingabout these tacos.  Tacos are madepretty fast, we had to order tacos 3x since they were so good, we kept wantingmore. Wait time was super reasonable. Staff are nice and if I lived closer Ican see myself coming here every taco Tuesday! This definitely is a must go tospot if you like tacos.   Tips: *Small parking lot *Outdoor seating only *Credit card accepted *Porta Potty in theback (night time it is pretty dark and hard to see) *They cater. *You can also orderonline for pick up. Tips: Credit card and cash accepted. Outdoor seating option only. Restroom is port a potties. Located in an area with other food trucks.

    These tacos are really tasty and even better the salsa was amazing…read more One could easily get one of each taco to try them all because they are pretty small. Making them costra style to add cheese for 50c is a nice touch too. The picnic seating kinda leaves a lot to be desired, my table was very broken. Staff is friendly and helpful in the truck!

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.
