    Super disappointed and grossed out. I went threw the drive thru and got a sopa de Mariscos.. As I'm eating it I noticed a tiny hair. I take it out and move the soup around I noticed another bigger hair. And you can tell it's a man's hair! I called them to tell them and the lady who answered the phone tells me she's gonna pass me the manager, but as I'm waiting she picks up the phone again and tells me that the "Manager Manuel" which is supposedly the son of the owner. Said that there's nothing they can do since it was take out. Definitely do no recommend coming here!!

    Complimentary caldo that I ate before picture and ceviche sample.

    This is a 5 star place. Service was great! They start you off with complimentary chips, salsa, crackers, a sample of ceviche and a sample of fish Caldo. Place was very clean food was great.

    Red and green sauce

    Great find! Looks like this is where the locals go, which is a good sign. Both the red and green sauce served with the chips were great! Surprised to be served soup before the entree, which was very good. I had grilled garlic fish filet. Very generous portion, very tasty. The only thing - I didn't see on the menu what sides came with the entree. It had rice, which was good, and also fries. I don't eat fries, so had I known, I would have asked for extra rice instead.

    If you love seafood GO to Mariscos Mares!! I love seafood and couldn't wait to check out this family owned business with an average Yelp 5 star status. Mariscos Mares didn't disappoint in the slightest with fresh flavors, generous portions, attentive, super friendly service and a menu in Spanish/English. Top seven highlights here is the amazing food, affordable prices, fast service, the restaurant can handle large groups, offers daily lunch specials, coupons available online and live music on Sundays. What else do you need?! The majority of the fish can be grilled or fried and then you select from 5 different styles to have your Filets prepared (try A la Diabla Style). If Whole Fish is your thing then check out the Red Snapper or Whole Tilapia. The Octopus Entrée is new for me but I'm told traditionally cooked in either Garlic Butter or Garlic and Guajillo Chili. I have trouble eating whole fish or Octopus that still looks like it was just caught so I had to pass. I was insanely craving diced and chunky Ceviche but preferred Aguachiles which is a spicy shrimp ceviche cooked in lime and chilies. Here you have 3 options of chili peppers (Red Jalapenos, Serrano Green or Habanero) for the Aguachiles. Love that!!!! Appetizer suggestions are the Shrimp or Ceviche Tostadas ($10.99/$9.99) come 3 to an order. Or go for the Shrimp, Oyster or Campechana (mixed seafood) Cocktail. The Cocktails have 3 size options, (small, medium or large) and the Medium size could easily be a meal in itself. Delightful!! Don't overlook the 4 types of Soups ($7.99 - $11.99) as an appetizer or entrée. I had a difficult decision deciding between the 3 sizes of Ceviche since I was craving (small $6.99, medium $10.99, and large $15.99). I ordered the medium but of course, my eyes were larger than my belly but excellent layers of flavors with the Shrimp, lime, onions and cilantro. I'm still thinking about the Aguachiles and wish I lived closer. I was so happy devouring as much Ceviche as possible. The Fish Soup steams your face in a marvelous fish and cilantro aroma. The large is affordable at $7.99. The broth was excellent with white flaky fish and garnished with avocado and cilantro. Highly recommend the Soups. The Fish Tacos ($7.99 for 4) were scrumptious, fresh with light and flaky Fish and perfectly cooked Shrimp. We split the order of 4 between 2 Fish and 2 Shrimp so we could sample 2 out of the 3 types of seafood available. So you ask what kind of seafood do they offer? We saw Shrimp, Oysters, Scallop Aquachile, Tilapia (Filets or Whole), Octopus, and Whole Red Snapper on the menu. The Tilapia and Red Snapper can be Fried or Grilled and you select from 5 different styles of preparation (try A la Diabla). Non-seafood folks have Beef or Chicken Fajitas or Cheeseburger options. Whether you go for a light lunch or dinner, I think you'll be glad you tried Mariscos El 7 Mares. I only wish I didn't live 1,400 miles away but on my list when I return to Mission. Go often for me.

    The restaurant is very clean with friendly staff and the music is not too loud. They have big screen TV's for your viewing pleasure and the food is not expensive good value and great tasting I was not surprised since I found out it's a mom and pops restaurant so they take care of their clientele very well. yeah highly recommend

    To start off while you wait for the food chips and different salsas

    We were Yelp'd in after my wife was craving seafood. We found the place to have a very pleasant atmosphere. Staff was very attentive and establishment was clean. We tried the ceviche, shrimp cocktail & mar y tierra. All the food was cooked perfectly & was tasteful. Overall its one of the best Mexican seafood places I have visited this side of the border.

    Free appetizer Soup awesome!

    I've been to McAllen frequently in the past several years, but I had always been told that this…read moreplace was "okay, but nothing special", so I avoided it as there are plenty of great options. This time, it was the first option that was recommended, which certainly got my attention. When I walked in, it was obvious that there is a renewal happening here - the restautant itself is getting quite a nice makeover, but while I love a nice ambiance, you can't eat the atmosphere. That said, I love the fact that even though there is lots of great energy in such a lovely space, I could still hear the people across the table. The true test of course is the food. I'd rather have a great meal in a dive bar than so-so food in an elegant room. The good news is that I did not have to choose. I don't know what the food was like before, but clearly what is happening on the plate has been elevated well above "okay, but nothing special". As usual when I travel, I dined with a group. While I very much enjoy the company of others, I also like being able to try taste more dishes, especially when I go somewhere for the first time. That allowed me to swoon over the hamachi crudo, crab cake (a favorite in general), lobster tail (very creative), the bacon mac & cheese, the king salmon, and the carrot cake (another favoriote). I don't love red meat, but my friends were just as effusive about the steaks. There's a real vibe to this place - a pride in the food, the place, and the experience. Go (or go back)!

    We came to Prime in McAllen planning to just have drinks, but the atmosphere was so inviting we…read morecouldn't resist ordering more. The cocktails were excellent, and what started as "just one round" quickly turned into sharing a delicious appetizer of chicharrón de rib eye, beautifully plated and full of flavor. We couldn't leave without trying the warm, golden cornbread dessert, and it did not disappoint: soft, sweet, and absolutely addictive. The ambience is elegant yet relaxed, making it easy to linger, and the service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. What was meant to be a quick stop turned into one of the highlights of our evening.
