What at treat we found here, I don't even know how I've missed this place for so long. It's authentic Mexican food with a menu that covers a wide variety of traditional dishes especially seafood along with beef,soups etc. There is plenty room to park, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was quick to answer our questions and make suggestions. It's a lively festive atmosphere here with live entertainment. The food was amazing be careful with the queso sauce it bites back the Pico de gallo was mild. I had Salmon fillet with a red pepper creme sauce which I requested to on side. Absolutely delicious steamed Veggies and white rice all cooked perfectly the rice was amazing flavorful. The wife had Aguachiles Shrimp with malencon sauce their were 3 sauce options for this dish.We finished it off with Churros and Ice Creme which look fabulous but the ice creme was mostly melted when they put 6 hot churros in it. Just ok I prefer Ice Creme cold. I asked for an Old Fashion but apparently they don't served those, went with straight whiskey while wife had a Paloma. We enjoyed the music, the crowd and the night at Mariscos El Malecon and will definitely be returning. read more

We are so lucky to have found this place! The torre de mariscos was HUGE and tasted great! My husband got the mojarra frita and the flavor was good! The food was good but the service was better. Everyone was super friendly and the staff went out of their way to fix our wobbly table without us even asking. We just left and are already planning to go back! read more

Best tacos de pulpo I have had outside of Mexico. Tender, not rubbery. You can order by the taco. Service is always attentive. Place can get loud as they will spring some live music on you. LoL. read more

A lively and festive environment with a live band. Beers are served in bottles and by the liter glass. The food was authentic and the portions were very big. All the seafood we tried was fresh and delicious. Our hostess was fast and friendly. Great place for groups. read more

Great food and service, great location to hang out with the family and great atmosphere to be. Service was perfect and we had a great time! Thank you read more

This is one of my favorite seafood places, full of flavor and it's always been fresh for me. The micheladas are great and service is fantastic: Not sure why there's some low reviews but everyone thinks different. The true seafood lovers know this place is legit and it has fabulous flavor. There is one thing I disliked and will tell people as a precaution. On my last visit I ate some aguachile negro and half a dozen of oysters, the flavor and everything was good but man, I got my wife pregnant so that sea food hits read more

Service was excellent but the food wasn't. The tosada de callo de hacha was absolutely horrible. The cook clearly doesn't know how to "cook" it. It was overcooked with lime which resulted in a bitter taste kind of like mineral water taste. I didn't even eat it, instead I ordered a ceviche de pescado... which was somewhat better. read more

I enjoyed the place but food was high priced. The service was friendly and if we had not been hit w buying pictures it would have been better! I would definitely give it another try during lent! read more

Amazing place! This is the place to go if you want seafood, excellent dishes and great food presentation. The service was fantastic, our waiter was even suggesting a pineapple sauce to go with my Hawaiian shrimp and it was fantastic! The place overall was clean and has a good overall ambience. read more

We stopped in this town briefly and ate here yesterday. Food was good, server was nice. I ordered my daughter from the kids menu the pescado empanizado which came with fries for $6.99. When they brought out the plate, it had a salad and a portion of rice which was not listed on the kids menu. I asked our server 3 different times if she was sure this was the kids plate, she assured us it was. I thought WOW! she wound up not eating the whole thing obviously. When it came time for the check, I still had that plate size in the back of my head. Sure enough, the charge on the ticket said $18.99. I called our server over and pointed it out to her. She said she'd be right back. She took FOREVER. She came back saying she was sorry but that they couldn't adjust the price since we had basically "accepted" the plate. I said, this is why we asked you THREE different times if this was the correct plate. She insisted they wouldn't do the price adjustment and that she could take the 15% gratuity off because she'd have to basically pay for the difference on that plate. I told her that wasn't right either... she then showed me on her device how it is very confusing on how to put in the order for that specific plate and I saw that myself. I told her it wasn't fair if they aren't making the choices clear for her. I said I could speak to her supervisor to make things right for her and myself but she seemed scared and just insisted she'd take care of it. We left it like that for her sake and left her a cash tip. Your company needs to not take advantage of your customers/servers. Also I've never heard of a 15% gratuity on a party of 5. Is this a NRH thing? read more

The salsa was good. Service slow. Food higher priced than expected and portion small for price. Will not be back.

The service was amazing but the food was a bit cold my sister got some shrimp and fish and it was cold

Love this place oysters and seafood on point. Drinks services is all way on point . Don't forget to go on Saturday night they have Banda

Amazing seafood great cocktails mariachi band excellent service perfect and the sushi is a must have I would love to come again #seafood for life read more

I found this place on tiktok and it was a huge disappointment. Food is mid and very expensive for no reason. Service could've been better. I received no drink refill and I had to ask someone if they could grab our waiter so we can pay. Their sushi menu was only 3 options, and the cheese appetizer I got was not even melted. read more

The food is amazing. My absolute favorite is the Marlin tacos and the aguachile en molcajete! I don't know if any other place that serves Marlin. Also their mangonada margaritas are very good. We had the pulpo dish the other day and it was super good as the pulpo was cool correctly, therefore it was super tender (No rubbery) and well seasoned. Our server Angie is the absolute best, super nice, super attentive, always smiling and anticipating our needs. Always a great experience with Angie! read more

Food was not good .. Had absolutely no flavor. SERVICE was horrible our server had the worse attitude and was on her phone hidden almost the entire time we were there her name (Vanessa) . Photographer asks to take a free picture then print out a bunch to try to sell to you.. and then the singer just comes up asked if you want a song or just starts singing THEN charges you $10 for each song she sang .. don't get me wrong I've always tipped for music but to not let you know that's how much each one is , is manipulation . read more

Idk if I want to leave a three star. First the place was open during Easter Sunday which was a plus. Thank you for that. The staff was great , pretty well pack but had tables for a large group. We tried the sushi cali roll only because my kid wanted it and it was terrible. I ordered the cocktail de camarones and I was disappointed truly. My hubby had the mojarra frita pretty decent size nothing wrong with a fried up whole fish. Rice was terrible and the beans WHERE CANNED!! Cant fool us. Other plates I saw looked ok nothing crazy it was chicken tenders and fajitas. Idk I might go back to try other stuff. read more

Stopped in for the first time. Cool looking place and nice design. It did help that I speak some Spanish. The food is expensive and only tastes ok. We were very disappointed in the Fajitas, it was very chewy. The side baked potato was different but it was filled with so much sour cream. Then the stuffed Tilapia had so much cheese on it, couldn't find the fish. Since I'm not fluent in Spanish really difficult to complain. There was live entertainment when we were there Friday night but for dinner music it was so loud, I couldn't talk to my friend. The large house margarita tasted good but seemed to have extra ice. The appetizers of shrimp soup and tostada were ok, the spicy red sauce on the tostada was too much sauce. read more

Very expensive. The waitress doesn't even speak English. It was horrible. I wish the location that they have the price is little bit more friendly. The price is like nobu steakhouse. The waitress doesn't understand any English, and then the bartender kept coming to answer my questions. It was very annoying. The waitress needs to go. At least this is America. They need to speak English. Or understand English. Very disappointed. read more

Went last night and was disappointed. Not sure if you changed chefs or recipes. Went there just for your whole red snapper with octopus rice which "was" the best in DFW, but the snapper tasted like it was about to turn bad and the wonderful rice you served was now all red bell pepper rice with face calamari. Spent over $40 for something I did not eat. Mariscos El Malecon what happened? This is what I came for and all I got was disappointment.... read more

Mariscos El Malecon - Seafood Near Me - North Richland Hills, Texas

This place looked very promising from the outside but the inside felt very un-welcoming and only catering to specific people. I didn't try the food because everything seemed very over priced and there was a table of about 20 people obnoxiously drunk with cases of beer at their table standing up and yelling at one another at around 1 pm on a Tuesday. Definitely not a sit down for lunch atmosphere. Felt more like a bar on a Saturday night. read more

We tried this place for the first time. As we walked in I asked the hostess if we seat ourselves and she just kind of looked at me then I realized she didn't speak English which was no big deal my wife's speaks Spanish. We were seated and I was happy to have a waitress that spoke English because I knew I was going to have questions about the drinks and food. I was surprised to see how high the prices were on the menu, I had the fried shrimp and my wife had the shrimp kabobs. Our food was ok I didn't care for the rice. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be cilantro lime rice but without the lime. Our main concern was the prices seemed pretty high for this type of place. I seriously doubt we will be back since my fried shrimp was one of the cheapest plates at about $21.00 and it was nothing special. read more

Great tasting food, spicer than expected. Great atmosphere, a little too loud with the music though. And it was strange they wanted to charge an extra fee to be in the restaurant after 9pm, even if you were there eating before that time. Still got some kinks to workout with the staff, waitresses and hostesses were arguing about who to seat and where. But still worth a try. read more

Pues para empezar esta es la primera vez que voy y honestamente la comida no vale lo que cuesta. cuando entras las meseras te reciben con mala cara, como si ellas te estuvieran haciendo un favor el atenderte. Ordene los camarones empanizados y el arroz estaba duro reemplacé mi ensalada por vegetales y mis vegetales tenian un cabello. las fajitas (trio) nada de sabor. No se quien era el encargado porque nadie fue a nuestra mesa mínimo a disculparse por el platillo el cual salió el pelo. Los meseros en su teléfono sin importar el cliente. No vuelvo a ese lugar. Necesitan buscar gente profesional que de verdad le importe su trabajo! read more

Overpriced and took too long to serve. The food was mediocre. Probably wouldn't go back. Our server however was pleasant!

You cannot be scared because looks Mexican, this is really authentic Mexican seafood and is super good with great service and dissent prices. Unless you like live Mexican music avoid Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays after 7pm read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I don't usually write reviews unless the place was excellent or horrible...in this case it was HORRIBLE! Our server was not attentive, rude, and had an attitude when giving the food to my dad. It should be noted that the place was not busy at all. We went for my dad's birthday and asked if they do something for birthdays and she brought out a lady who sang my dad las mañanitas. She did not mention that it would be $10 per song nor did the lady singing until she had already sang. Places usually do this for free. This felt very shady. The prices are also very high for less than mediocre food and drinks. There is plenty of better places with authentic mexican mariscos around fort worth for half the price, literally pick anywhere else. read more

The staff is friendly and welcoming but after ordering we waited for 25 min to be served. The prices do seem a bit exaggerated for the quality of food but they do have an extensive options of seafood plates. I personally would risk giving it a second chance. I've been to Sinaloa and California where seafood is their specialty and the quality of seafood at this place is no where compared. read more

Absolutely great food! And service Is fenomenal everyone is very friendly and polite.

VERY DISSAPOINTING!!! I saw the Parillada Malecon on their website and was really looking forward to having it. When I get there, it's not even on the menu and the waitress had no idea what I was talking about. IF YOU DON"T HAVE A DISH, DON'T PUT IT ON YOUR WEBSITE!!! read more

Me and my husband decided to try this place on 10/26/24 around 5 in the evening and we realized the inside of restaurant is casual. Now for food, my husband ordered the el Malecon molcajete & I ordered the stuffed pineapple with shrimp, scallops, octopus, fish. I enjoyed my food except it could use more seasoning, it was pretty bland. Now here's the DISGUSTING PART of my husbands food, as he was mixing the food in the molcajete and made his taco out the meats , he took a bite and inside was a BALLED UP NAPKIN!!!!!! we couldn't believe it, and the waitress did not seem concerned or apologetic at all!!!! we hear those type of nasty things at fast food establishments but at a I think newly opened restaurant is outrageous and ridiculous! We lost our appetite but didn't want to waste money or time so he ordered the huachinango frito which had NO FLAVOR OR SEASONING compared to other mariscos marea restaurants we been to. Along with side of refried beans which tasted SO MUCH LIKE OIL !!! So my husband didn't get to enjoy any of his food. The only thing we did like and only like was the queso fundido with chorizo. Overall this restaurant DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE 4 STARS RIGHT NOW! And BEWARE OF FINDING SOMETHING IN YOUR FOOD!! Waste of time and money and I had 3 margaritas and our total was $113 , NOT WORTH IT AT ALL !!!!! DONT COME HERE , GO TO MARISCOS LA MAREA IF YOU WANT REAL SEAFOOD AND MEXICAN FOOD!!!!!!!! read more
