Cocktail Shrimp AKA their version of Camarones a la Plancha.

Maria G.

WTF is this? I ordered Camarones a la Plancha and they gave me Camarones with no shell, the kind they use for the Shrimp Cocktail. AND they have zero flavor $32 in the garbage. If I could give them a negative Star I would Never again

You guys! Idk what to say! I guess that I'm sad I waited so long to go! First of all, Luisa was THE BEST. She recommended the drink and the entree. The owner's brother so happened to be sitting at the bar. We didn't know who he was, of course. We were talking a little bit and we asked about the shrimp and modelo dish. We didn't even know what to do with it! Haha Anyway, he asked if we lived in the neighborhood and told us his sister owns the place. He had overheard all of our previous praises, I think. He gifted this dish to us so we could try it. Omg. No words. Oysters and shrimp were phenomenal! I can't give enough praise! Also, I'm not a sweet eater. I often can't drink frozen drinks bc they are too sweet for me. I drank the whole thing. It was soooo good. Trust Luisa! Xoxoxoxo Filete Relleno pictured with the fries.

Fish w/seafood, I did not take a picture of the garlic shrimp drenched in butter.

Food was horrible!!!!!!!! Shrimp was dirty. Imitation crab, scallops were smaller than a dime. The customer service was good, the server saw that I was not happy with my plate & offered to bring me another dish. The second dish was worse than the first the only good thing this restaurant has going for itself are the piña coladas, and the fries. my husband and I were the only ones in the restaurant and they had 80s music playing with a Telenovela on TV. They definitely need to revamp their menu and a new chef.

Server is friendly. Not too busy at noon. Food was delicious, portion size is ample. I had Filete Gratinado, its flavorful, presentation looks appetizing.

Greta local, laid-back Mexican style seafood spot. We ordered a few items for takeout that the whole family enjoyed: pulpo mojo de ajo (octopus in garlic sauce), steak and chicken tacos, as well as the ceviche de pesado (fish) and ceviche the camarón (shrimp) over tostadas. I'll be back. Check the full menu for more!

Great service ! Great food ! Great music ! My 3rd time eating the food, 1st time eating inside the restaurant! Would definitely recommend!!!! Support ur local businesses!!

My first time and I got carry out. The interior is very nice. Since it was my first time, I went basic, steak tacos with cilantro & onion, and rice. All of it was very good. Both salsas were delicious.

I couldn't wait to get home to write this up. This place had so much to offer from comforting hospitality, amazing food quality and an incredible atmosphere. These photos don't do this place justice, it was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend. Latino-owned so you know we took care of them.

Unassuming from the outside and definitely a locals a gem, the food here was made to order and outstanding. Went with a group of co-workers for dinner, it was virtually empty, which initially was concerning but we decided to stick it out as we had been in training meetings all day and just wanted to eat and go back to our hotel... The portion sizes were great. The ceviche was awesome and definitely shareable. I had the seafood soup which seemed like a bottomless bowl because no matter how much I ate, it didn't seem to go down- it was delicious! Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of everyone's food but they pretty much licked their plates and there was no shortage of food- the meals all come with garlic bread, rice and salad too. The adult beverages were also an added bonus. The margarita was good the spicy tequila drink was excellent (sorry can't remember what it was called but it's in the menu) and they have a full selection of Jaritos (an authentic Mexican soda that rivals coke products) - fruity flavors and highly recommended!

Wow, this place is a hidden gem! I call myself a foodie and this place is now on our top five restaurants for seafood! Highly recommend this place! This place was also very Clean too. Service was very good too. Definitely will be back!

The food was amazing & the portions are huge!! We had the empanadas de camarón, mojarra , pulpo and shrimp tostadas and the mendigo especial . We took doggie bags home because we couldn't finish our meal. Excellent service as well. Would definitely recommend and come again.

The restaurant is clean, the food is good. But if you go, you better speak Spanish! We were regular customers for months, and we always had the same waitress, who was very friendly and sweet. The last time we visited the restaurant , there was another waitress there that did not speak English. (Or claimed she didn't speak English) She looked irritated when we continued to speak English, and grabbed a drunk man from the bar to translate! Very unprofessional. We never went back after that, and we were there all. the.time. It's a Mexican restaurant, I get it. But gueras gotta eat too! read more

We were greeted with a big smile even though we arrived close to closing hours. We started with the shrimp empanadas, omg deliciousness, I added the creamy sweet sauce... so yummy! For our main dish I ordered the langostinos dinner it came with a very spicy delicious sauce, literally finger licking goodness! My partner had the seafood boil it comes im a small or large bag. He was concerned because he thought it wouldn't be enough food but it was more than enough with plenty to take home for seconds the next day. Our drinks, yummm let me tell you... I had the vodka mango it came with my favorite Vero paleta (sucker) perfectly made with tajin on the rim, and he order a cantarito another drink that left my guy smiling from ear to ear. As we were leaving I took the check because I was treating my partner to dinner for his bday and I kinda mentioned that I was covering it and the lady comes out with a slice of cake and two shots of tequila! Made our evening even more perfect' we left there super full and feeling all cheesy! Haha everything was delicious and the ambiance was chill for a chill evening! Will definitely come back again! read more

The portion is large enough to split between two people. Otherwise, it will definitely fill you up. For an appetizer, we ordered the fried zucchini, and it was incredible! Perfectly crispy and full of flavor! For dinner, we had the Pastitio, which was also one of the best we've had, rich and flavorful. We also tried the Shrimp Tagliatelle; while it was well prepared, the parsley flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. Overall, a wonderful meal and experience. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it!

Marlin is one of those hidden gems that totally over-delivers. It might have that slightly divey,…read moreunassuming vibe at first glance, but don't let that fool you, the food is legit. Oyster Fridays are a favorite of mine, and honestly, everything on the menu hits. The Marlin bites and all the different fish bites are killer, and the sliders are always a win too. The bartender's friendly, the patio is gorgeous (especially when the weather's nice), and there's just something fun and relaxed about the whole place. I haven't checked it out since the remodel, but even the old version had charm. Definitely worth a visit whether you're craving seafood or just want a chill place with great food and a good vibe.

My husband and I wanted to go out to dinner. Somewhere local with great food and drinks. First, off the service was incredible. To me service is key. Bad customer service can ruin my entire day. Next, I actually asked for a drink that's not on the menu. Prepared mineral water (chamoy, Tajín on rim) with tequila. Fantastic! Finally, parrilla for two. It was so delicious we could not finish it. Enough for lunch tomorrow and the price for two was fair. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here to celebrate my father's birthday and had a wonderful experience ! Service was awsome and the food was great ! We brought a cake and the Manager was kind enough to store in the fridge and they even put the candles on and lit them before they brought it out. I definitely recommend stopping in and checking it out as I will be coming back ! read more

I've been to Chicago several times and tried the langostinos from other restaurants. I came to this new one on my layover and the food was beyond delicious. The langostinos were so much more well seasoned and the cantaritos were delicious. Now I got a new spot to come when I visit Chicago again. read more

This place used to be a Peaches and Pears and when my wife and I…read moresaw that closed we were very disappointed and hoped that the next restaurant that moved in would be a good addition to the neighborhood. Fast forward to Sunday August 16th and my wife and I had a hankering for seafood. I saw the reviews in Yelp and saw it had 4 stars so we figured we'd give it a shot. Rosa greeted us at the door and sat us right away. When we got the guacamole we immediately saw that it was freshly made, which we know doesn't happen anymore. Let me tell ya, my wife and I looked at each and said wowww...okkk. Then our main dish arrived, I had the whole red snapper with the garlic butter and my wife had the the steamed tilapia also with butter garlic...we both looked at each other and said.."yup we're coming back." So in short if you want to go to a Mexican seafood restaurant that has great food, lots of parking and great service (THANKS ROSA!) Come to Riviera Grill! You won't be disappointed.

Hubby ordered a pineapple margarita, and I ordered a pina colada. We both liked our drinks. He ordered the shrimp fajitas, and I ordered the seafood paella. We both enjoyed our meals. The reason for the 3 stars is the language barrier. All the waitresses spoke English, and it wasn't a complete struggle to communicate. However, our waitress rarely came to see how we were doing. Hubby was asking the waitress for more water and extra napkins from the next table. Although we enjoyed our meals and drinks, we unfortunately will not be back.

I have been meaning to take a jaunt down the Nostalgic road and try this new(ish) Docks. I ordered a Fishwich with cheese which was huge,and very enjoyable. The fish was breaded and fried nicely with a decent seasoning too. Tartar sauce, lettuce and bread were all good and that matters too. Nothing like a restaurant to have some off-tasting toppings to ruin an otherwise great piece of fish. What I really appreciate is that the sandwich is cooked-to-order. Which means after driving home, feeding the dog,, grabbing something to drink, and finding something to watch on tv, my sandwich was still hot when I finally unwrapped and ate it. Take that filet-o-fish!

After seeing the fake cheese on those, we should've just stopped our order then but there was no turning back. The sushi rolls are super big, not like a regular roll.

La Cocina De Mama is one of the popular places to drink and eat along this particular stretch. Far from authentic. They focus more on look and taste. Came in and got seats at the bar. It's often crowded and this time was no exception. There was a wait for a table. Of course cocktails. We got a couple of these. It's about $13 for a margarita. The Cucumber Margarita is great stuff. It's about $12 for a burrito. Menu has a good amount to choose from. I got the Vegetariano Burrito. This has beans, cheese which I left off, lettuce, rice, and tomatoes. Filling.
