I Been coming here since 2000, at a time when I was in foster care, traveling from Vallejo to Oakland to visit my moms in her drug program. (Shout out to mom's sobriety and GOD for continuing to show grace upon her life). I remember when tacos were $1.25 & burritos were $5.50 so I can't be mad that they finally went up. This food at this place has always been The service is always amazing. Me encanta comer aquí. Comer de todo. The asada burritos are best burritos in Oakland especially for the price y tacos are y Aguachile, Tostadas, Tortas. The ambiance has elevated since I first came here. It's amazing for a good vibe lunch dates. Whoever don't like this place after they tried what I suggested, next meal on me. Just message me if you disagree. read more

Everytime I am in the Bay Area, this restaurant is the best stopping point for some good ceviche with tostadas. Service was incredibly fast and there were lots of seating when it was raining. The portion size was huge too, so I recommend eating at least 2 for the ladies. read more

Can I cuss on here? Haven't been here in a decade but it's still fire AF. Used to be my go to for shrimp ceviche tostadas & it still is. A spot I'd always recommend to people if they're in east Oakland. Straight forward. Ive never tried their tacos or burritos, but I promise you won't be disappointed by the shrimp ceviches. Plenty of shrimp, fresh. They've got hot sauce & ketchup on the table for you. Service is usually pretty quick. They've got a parking lot. Outdoor seating in shade. They'll call your number out on the overhead system. read more

Fast, fresh and affordable is so hard to come across now a days and this is exactly what you'll get here. I order the shrimp and octopus ceviche tostada and regular shrimp ceviche tostada. Love all the hot-sauces they have on the table. I prefer my ceviche with saltine crackers but seems like they never want to give me any when I ask. They'll literally give me one per tostada, if that. Other than that I have no complaints. You walk up to a window to order then sit and they'll call out your order #. No beer here but you can byob. Wish they were on DoorDash. read more

Asada and pollo tacos were on the smaller side, but the shrimp and octopus tostada was good! Would just come here for their seafood, and skip the tacos. read more

Mariscos La Costa - Shrimp and octopus tostada, Asada Taco, Pollo Taco - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

Probamos la tostada de ceviche, un burrito de camarón y una quesadilla de camarón. Los demás tenían razón decir que el ceviche era aceptable más o menos, pero el burrito y la quesadilla faltaban sabor. Los precios no eran tan razonables tampoco - en total fue $48. ¡La quesadilla no tenía queso! Puedes comprar camarones y limón en Cárdenas y hacerte tu propio ceviche con más sabor y menos precio. read more

Beware of this place you might want to go somewhere else to avoid getting sick. Sunday we bought a couple of the tostadas mixtas to go, when I got home I uncovered the lid they smelled horrible. They smelled like straight up ass. I couldn't tell if it's the shrimps that where bad or the octopus it all smelled bad. They know those shrimps where not good because you could smell that as soon as you uncover the lid it has that strong smell but its obvious the restaurant doesn't want to lose money that's why they rather sell spoiled seafood. Always check your food, lucky for them I was already in Hayward so I was unable to go back and return them the food it just ended up in the trash. read more

Excellent food, convenient parking, friendly service, and convenient takeout. We look forward to returning.

Incredible chicken burrito! They don't have "regular" and "super" -- it's all super, and at the time of this writing it's 12 bucks -- a hell of a deal nowadays. Positive atmosphere, great seating, super efficient. And the burrito is SO GOOD! read more

Ceviche and service were pretty good, I spent a total of 30 dollars and it was more than enough to feed me and my girl with and have some more to snack on later! They aren't stingy with the sauce either so that's a plus read more

Absolutely Devine Fun outdoor atmosphere with a pretty wall painting Felt like eating with the food truck setting with very authentic Mexican fare and seating area is clean and you can enjoy the interesting international blvd scene The tostada was very fresh and crispy with the shrimp ceviches toppings no excellent fresh tomato's and onions add extra crunch The spicy pork was very flavorful definitely need to return read more

Bad costumer service the food wasn't good 20$ for 6 shrimps it's crazy it had too much salt.

Amazing. Just amazing. I was recommended to try this place if I liked seafood and their ceviche did not disappoint. You order at the window (cash only) and they call your number over the speakers, both in Spanish and English. I ordered 2 shrimp ceviche ($10 for the pair) and a can of coke for $1.75. The ceviche is huge!!!! You really get a lot for your money. And best of all, it tastes absolutely amazing. Spicy, citrus-filled, and fresh! Pros: -they have their own free parking lot -they have outdoor dining which is perfect during covid -staff is friendly -ceviche is on point -reasonably priced -they have music playing outside Cons: -it is cash only Overall, excellent spot! read more

The seafood cocktails are not the cheapest, but as far as flavor and quality, it is solid! This is good for hangovers. A little bird also told me you can bring your own beer! Cool to know! They also have tacos ! It is CASH ONLY !!!! I will return on my next hangover! read more

This doesn't apply to most foods. But when it comes to burritos, once I find places I like, rarely will I be adventurous and try a taqueria I've never been to. Because why take a chance of being disappointed? Why waste 1000 calories eating something mediocre? That being said, this Shelter-in-place has closed down over half of the taquerias on International Blvd in Oakland. My go-to taquerias were all closed, so driving down International I landed in front of Mariscos La Costa. I thought to myself, ok, "Mariscos". So they must specialize in seafood. From the pics it looks like they carry ceviche and different items from regular Taquerias. But I had my heart set on a Al Pastor Burrito and a Steak quesadilla. Al Pastor Burrito: the burrito is a decent size at the fair price of $8. The taste was ok but they go really heavy on the onions. You know how Nations is famous for the pile of raw onions they put in their burgers? Well I actually like that refreshing crunch of onions in my burger. But in my burrito, I thought it was overbearing. Made it taste like I ordered an onion burrito. Steak Quesadilla: my wife ate this item. She said it was ok. Nothing special or memorable for her. Based on just visually for me, it looked disappointing from other Taqueria's quesadillas I've seen. In a pinch, I say go to Mariscos La Costa. It's not the best but it passable and the prices are lower than most if not all other Taquerias. That makes it a place worth trying at least once, and possibly a second time when a Worldwide Pandemic threatens to wipe out earth's entire population. read more

My friend and I drove out to East Oakland for lunch. I was in the mood for shrimp cocktail, and lo and behold, fhe shrimp cocktail at this location was delicious. However, it was Mexican style shrimp cocktail, which is full of fresh ingredients like tomato, cilantro lemon and chiles and very different from American style shrimp cocktail which only has ketchup, lemon and horseradish. The portions were good the service quick, it comes with yummy homemade tortilla chips. My only complaint is that it would be nice not to have disposabletableware and bowls. So I will probably go there again, but I'll bring my own picnic ware and take what they give me and put it into picnic style deeper dish. It wouldn't go on the flat plate. read more

Burrito lengua, meat was good, other things decent. Rice beans could use more taste or flavor smell. Gave 1 red salsa to go, could use another. read more

***3.5 stars Fun, lively outdoor seating resto. Reminds me of a drive in of yester year. Just finished at dentist and was starving afterwards. Decided to give this place a try. Got the agua chile con camarones to go. Pretty tasty, but the sauce seems like they put ketchup in it, which for agua chile is weird to me. Fresh tasting and lots of little shrimps. I don't think they marinate the shrimp in citrus juice beforehand, as the shrimps were raw raw when I first got the cocktail. I squeezed lots more lime juice and tapatio into the cocktail and let it sit a couple of hours before eating. Prices are what you would expect for any kind of seafood. Cash only! read more

How disgusting ! I've never been to a place so nasty at everything we ordered . Tacos Shrimp octopus even the rice and beans were disgusting. How do you mess up rice and beans, anyways when I asked if I could please switch out my plate which I didn't even eat nothing they said no and that's how the plate is supposed to taste . I can't believe they have semi good ratings . Must be there whole family posting fake ratings read more

Top Taqueria Alert! I'm always on the prowl for the Top Taquerias in the bay. This one makes the top five easy. In a word Mariscos La Costa is flavorful. In two words: fricken amazing. I ordered a chicken burrito, a chicken quesadilla, and two chicken tacos (can you tell I like chicken). I wasn't expecting much flavor from the quesadilla but it was delicious. It had ripe tomatoes, and savory cheesy chicken. I couldn't get enough of it. The burrito was spicy and mouthwateringly good as well. The staff are quick here. We ordered four full menu items total. They had it out in 3-4 minutes! It's a walk-up order window with outdoor seating. This place had an extensive menu and everything we ordered was exquisite. read more

I have food allergies like a dork. But I had always wanted to try Octopus. I have researched, I should not have even been eating Octopus also, because of my allergies, but I had a friend raving about how much she loved octopus and I had to try it for myself. Found this place easily on Google, easy to find, small parking lot. SUPER fast service. Upon arriving at this place, the smell of Shellfish is STRONG, I sat on the side and just inhaling after I ordered had my throat feeling tight. My daughter had my Benadryl, I did pop one while waiting for our food. Tasted the Octopus, tastes like rubber bands. But the presentation was legit here, it was like a Ceviche. Veggies were fresh, the tostada they pack for you was nice also. Just was not a fan. But this place is legit otherwise, very courteous having the "Shellfish Allergy" signs all over, very nice. read more

This is a great Mexican ceviche place in the neighborhood. My Mexican friend brought me here, so you know it's legit! Most of the people eating there were Mexican. I'd recommend: FISH & OCTOPUS Tostada: Loved the texture that the octopus slices brings. Refreshing and not too heavy SHRIMP AGUACHILE: Raw shrimp in a tomato-based salsa. Loved eating it with creamy avocado and crunchy tostada OYSTERS: These things are MONSTERS! Super big oysters. I also enjoyed the varieties of Mexican hot sauce that were on the table TOSTADA DE LENGUA: My boyfriend had this because he's not too into seafood. It was a solid, well-balanced torta. PROS: - Friendly service, especialmente si puedes hablar espanol - Outdoor seating, which is perfect on a sunny day - They have standard taqueria offerings if you're not too into seafood - PRIVATE PARKING LOT, which is a rarity in Fruitvale! That alone makes it much more likely that I'll return read more

The food is delicious and well priced. Staff is always kind and respectful. I enjoy it a lot and recommend it to everyone

Ceviche is king at Mariscos, while I found the Mexican fare to be average. However, let's get a few things out in the open: 1) It is cheap as hell. Eat like said king for about $10 and be full for days. 2) If you want an authentic experience, you will find it here, and I'm not talking about that all inclusive resort to Cancun. This is reminiscent of the small beach towns I visited while spending a month backpacking through Mexico. The carne asada burrito was stringy and tasteless with no homemade tortillas found here. An ultimate fail. The al pastor tacos were solid, again I prefer those tortillas homemade. It's the little things. The star of the show: the ceviche tostadas were delicious and plentiful. The shrimp did have those grey veins, but it was about $4, I get it. At the end of the day, it was fresh and that's all that matters. Outside seating only and cash only at this super casual cevicheria. Order at the counter, find a seat, grab your food and enjoy. Definitely a solid spot that is a taste of the real Mexico. When jonesing for some ceviche at a very low cost, no need to look further. read more

We had a craving for some ceviche on Saturday Morning and we were in Oakland so we headed to Mariscos La Costa. It's located on International Blvd. and has a parking lot. The eating area is outside tables with 5 different kind of hot sauces on it. The menu is pretty simple and the food is ready fast. The line is usually 4 or 5 deep. Paper plates, plastic forks and trays. Fish ceviche tostadas Lots of ceviche on top Shrimp and octopus tostadas ceviche on top a thick crispy fried tortilla Asada tacos Al Pastor tacos Carnitas tacos Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche $11 Fish Ceviche $11 They clean and bus the tables quickly. We also ordered some ceviche to go that comes with tortas. The tacos are good too. read more

Food is on point from the tacos and burritos to the seafood section you can't go wrong here.The staff is nice and friendly and they keep the place looking nice and clean.The service was quick for the amount of people coming in to grab a bite. Helpful hint cash only and no alcohol is sold there but they suggested i go to the liquor store on the corner which was great as I got what I wanted. read more

I use to love coming here for years .. But today we had an unpleasant visit ! My family and I came for lunch here and we spent more then $150 and we had bought several plates overall food wasn't as bad in flavor but we did not like the service ! The ladies taking the orders at the register were very impatient and messed up our order twice! They now charge $1 for 3 saltine crackers and only gave us 1 and 2 tostadas with our xtra large coctel de camaron. When we went to ask for some extra salsa as we had bought several tacos and tortas one of the cashiers only gave us 1 so I asked for another and she had a horrible attitude and gave me another one. We won't be coming back at all and to future people expect horrible customer service!! read more

Mariscos La Costa is my new "goto" Taco spot.I rate taco spots based on the quality of their Al Pastor and their's is outstanding.Not too sweet as some can be with the addition of too much pineapple but just spicy enough and very tender meat.The Asada is also crazy good ! I have not tried the tostada's yet but they look great .... topped with Shrimp,Crab and some looked like they might have had octopus ! You can also get any meat you'd like on them. They also have Oysters on the half shell ! Don't be turned off by these Taco joints on East 14th( I'll never call it International) because you will be missing out on great and very authentic mexican food.I go here with my wife and the place is totally safe&clean and you can feed a family of four well for under $20 ! read more

So ready for this! 95 degrees East Bay heatwave Sunday 8/16..Joe & I masked up & had our 1st drive together here...bought a-not-cold-enough quart of Corona Familiar...but had it on ice with lime with our orders....worked!...Pastor taco, fish ceviche, camaron & pulpo tostados for Joe...Me, camaron & pulpo cocktail We loved it all! except the seafood ceviche.. Joe preferred the texture of the camaron/pulpo....I liked the fish myself.... friendly service, perfect Covid outside dining! return soon read more

Came here hearing all these great things about the ceviche. So ordered the shrimp ceviche and you know what, the shrimp was grey! It wasn't even cooked. So couldn't even try it unless I wanted to sit on the toilet all day long having uncooked shrimp come out both ends of me. The parking lot is tiny and crammed and there isn't much seating area. The food did come out quick, I guess too quick cause they didn't even cook it. Also ordered Carne asada burrito and two tacos. At least those were cooked. The burrito had very little meat inside. Mainly cilantro and rice. I guess that's what you pay for, for 3.75. Tacos were a dollar each. Nothing special. Never order the shrimp unless you wanna die! There's better places for Mexican. Heck it's fruitvale. It's Mexico. Gotta step up the food read more

The food is authentic, fresh, and delicious. I got a pastor quesadilla, but am really looking forward to coming back and trying one of the seafood tostadas. My mom had one, and it was amazing! Super quick service! Remember to bring cash, as they don't take credit cards. There is also a small parking lot, which is great in such a crowded area. As a note, they do call out your order number in Spanish. Not a problem, if you don't know Spanish- just look it up! read more

This place is always the spot for a quick tostada de ceviche and an aguachile. The prices are decent. Service is well organized and timely. This place would get 5 stars but since my last review 5years ago they still only take cash and its 2020 i think they should have options. The parking lot is tight but big enough for their traffic on a regular day. read more

Still great - still affordable. The menu is very straightforward - you can get several different preparations of their seafood items. You just can't go wrong with the tostadas....and specifically the ceviche and pulpo. It's $6.75 and big enough for lunch or dinner if you're not terribly hungry. The pulpo is never chewy or rubbery - always tender and flavorful. I really need to come here once a week because when I don't I just continue to dream about it..... read more
