Full of life and taste! The best, freshest flavors, in Chicago are here. Mariscos Luis, located in Archer Heights. It will bring you joy with every bite you take. Every single time i drove by the place was always packed! So finally this weekend was my chance to come to this place and taste the food. As I enter the restaurant the vibe was calm and it felt like Mexico. Music was playing and the friendly waitress came to our table and took my order pretty fast. I looked at the menu and so many options to choose from but finally decided to order the Salpicon and a glass bottle cold Coke. The Salpicon is a serve-cold dish it comes with peeled shrimp, octopus, crab meat, and oysters in a special house sauce with onions, It kinda looks like ceviche. I grabbed a tostada and add it a spoon of the salpicon and when i took the bite, the millions of distinctive colorful flavors of the dish punched my tongue with so much power that i was mesmerized by it. Wow, out of this world. The dishes are big enough to share between two people. If you want to try something new with the Mexican touch come to Mariscos Luis, you wont regret it. I would definitely be coming back. read more

Adorable place for some Sunday seafood! We hopped in Tyler's car and headed to the south side for some mariscos- and boy I found some delightful mariscos!! I always love traveling to smaller places that open early, have a few tables, and fill up quickly! The staff is Amazingly friendly- my Spanish is okay buy Tyler's is better-- so everything was conversed in Spanish and i answered in English and got just what I ordered: We started off with a lovely complimentary little 'hangover' cure of a cup with a shrimp in a spicy garlic broth. We didn't have a hangover but I couldn't resist this traditional treasure so I ate both of ours :) We shared a Tostada De Pulpo Y Camaron (octopus and shrimp) and it was refreshing and crisp. Lovely seafood atop a tostada...yum!! I ordered Camarones a la Diabla for my main meal: spicy and Spicy shrimp....so good, so cleansing, so fantastic! The Side salad of rich crab meat and fluffy rice were a great contrast! Delicious!! Tyler ordered Al Mojo De Ajo in garlic sauce - a fish with a garlic rub and it was beautiful to see and crispy and delicate to try! I did get a bone or two, but that's part of the experience:) A great Gem to dine at.....plus there are FULL portions of crispy tostadas and crackers as 'bread'!' On the way back, a guy was selling roses on the highway/ and Tyler bought a pak for me....I don't enjoy roses, but this was lovely!! read more

Made the trek from the north side down to the south side to try some Mexican seafood based on my brothers recommendations. If it's one thing I love ( Aside from my wife and kids) it's sea food! Walking in, my brother and I were seated promptly and the server brought some delicious "Conzume" The conzume was a bit spicy and was adorned with some Shrimp. Nevertheless, it was delicious! I would go back just for that! My brother order the Camarones ala diabla or devil shrimp and I had the camarones Zarandeados. I found myself eating of his plate as I didn't like my plate that much. It's nothing against the restaurant but I just ordered the wrong plate. My shrimp were chard and drenched in a chipotle mayo butter sauce. I ordered them because the server recommended them and I hate trying new things at places I've never been before. I will be back to order the plate my brother had as that was outta this world plus the consume! read more

Soy un cliente de años y estoy muy decepcionado de la calidad de los camarones , no son los mismos .. Compre un cóctel de camarón con pulpo y ni sabor tenía , los camarones no son los mismos ahora son de los que compran ya previamente cocidos y congelados ... El cóctel ya no tenia ese sabor fresco de mar . No vuelvo ni recomiendo mas este restaurante ... read more

Always great food. BYOB cans ONLY! I usually have the vuelve la vida which is always delicious and you can truly taste the freshness in the seafood. The coctel is loaded with seafood. Every spoon is a spoonful of greatness. See my pics read more

Real cheap mariscos in price and when you go, you're not there for a fancy meal, you're there for the food. Husband loves their camarones ceviche since they don't add cilantro and they are very generous for the cheap price. I get the camarones a la diabla - extra spicy, and boy, they are spicy! Def. Recomend if you're looking for good mexican seafood on the low-low. read more

VERY hole in the wall but some great food. I love seafood and have eaten at some pretty fancy places but this place always hits the spot and is very consistent. I like the ceviche, camarones a la diabla, and caldo de camaron. Pretty much all their shrimp dishes are delicious. The prices are not as expensive as other marisco restaurants. I usually do carryout bc getting a seat can be tough on the weekends. Also, BYOB . Overall, nice casual place to drink a beer and have some seafood at an affordable price. read more

The camarones a la diabla are very flavorful & delicious. I am very much in love with the salsa the shrimp come with it's spicy & I enjoy the amount of heat they add it's really well balanced. I usually don't go for a dish like this at any seafood restaurant I stick to the caldos but I'm glad I went with my craving, they didn't disappoint! It's a small restaurant but don't let it fool you they get packed. Even though I didn't dine in my food was still hot once I got home & overall I'm looking forward to coming back again. read more

I use to love this place , I stopped coming years ago and returned today and lord the disappointment. They changed the way the do the Langostinos and it was nasty. I can now see why they have lost business. If the system isn't broken don't change it. Your old menu made you why change? read more

One of Chicago's best kept secrets. They do offer BYOB. I have been to this location a handful of times and have not had anything on the menu I didn't enjoy. Small family owned and the weekends may leave you standing until a seat is available. I would recommend their mixed ceviche & their breaded shrimp. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because at times, you are seated next to another family due to lack of availability which takes away from our privacy. read more

This place never fails us...food is amazing, service is great and even though it's a small place you will not be disappointed!!!

I have been here a several times and only ever had the caldo de camaron. First few times were a 3.5, but this last time was really disappointing. The spicy broth and vegetables are great, but I could tell that this time the shrimp were not fresh, and they were over-cooked. And to top it off, they didn't remove the shrimp intestine. I can't say that I will be back unless I am sure they use fresh, clean seafood read more

Bad bad service never come back again first and las time I did order a camarones a la diabla media diabla but the sauce was si freaking hot that was fire so i told the server this sauce i can not eat it and she say o no body was complaint about that and the peppers are so spicy and that was the way it is then she say i can got you something else but I have to charge for both orders this is the kind a place that the customer are never right never again first and very last time on been on that joint read more

Great Place!!! This has been my little secret place for a long time!!! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the service. They are great people but they are a family owned place. They really do not know about professional service its not their fault. The food speaks for itself. It is awesome... I always stop by to pick up orders is Ceviche. It is the healthiest fast food seafood in the planet. I'm in and out in 10 minute and get to eat delicious seafood. I have always loved this place. It's not a hole in the wall. It's been around for a long time. It's not fancy at all... This is were you take your GF of 6 months after all the formalities are over LOL (Old Review on account with lost password) read more

Food was ok , nothing new or exciting. The place needs some updating. Service was ok, the place was dead when I went so....

Amazing food but the service is horrible. It's understandable that good places will make you wait and maybe put you on hold for a few minutes. This place has answered my call multiple time and put me on hold for 15 minutes by putting down the phone. They weren't taking any other orders just heard them talking amongst themselves. read more

I love their food is delicious especially the Jaiba salad that they give with any dish I love it!! I recommend this place and I give them 5 stars oh and the michelada mix is a bomb read more

Stopped by this place yesterday and was interested because it always seems to be busy on weekends. I came to find out that it was likely more busy due to it being BYOB than food quality. Don't get me wrong, my camarones momias were delish but the same couldn't be said about my wife's dish. She ordered the garlic shrimp dish and some of the shrimps hadn't been prepped correctly. There was still vein in a couple of them. Come on people this is seafood 101. And the avocados they served with our dishes were still green. It's like eating an unripened banana. And who likes that. The tostadas bag table side was open when we sat down. Not a big deal to me but my wife equated it to having someone else's bread bowl unfinished. Overall it wasn't that bad but they do need to do better in the cleanliness department. read more

Great food, consome is my favorite. They seem annoyed when they take your order and when you get up to pay. 5 stars if they were a little friendly. read more

I'm a big fan of this place. I always buy the shrimp empanadas dinner meal. Also, the shrimp ceviche & the crab salad are delicious. Small place. I always do carry-out. Waiters are friendly and professional. They have parking. read more

Great place to get fresh and delicious Mexican seafood. You can get some fresh ceviche to fancier pinaple stuffed with seafood. Its not fancy, it a great neighboorhood spot. Forget the large retail chain. Great attentive service. Great place to catch a soccer game read more

The shrimp empanadas are so delicious! It's just a bit small to dine in since it's packed a lot but great for takeout!

Totally a hole in the wall, but it sure is a tasty one! Listen, I dont even like shrimp, but the "camarones sarandeados" here are out of this world! This place is truly amazing and unique. They also sell really good ceviche to take on the go. Woohoo! As good as it gets! read more

Small place, good prices, great service! Me and my husband love this place. Everything is delicious! I usually get the camarones a la diabla not to spicy. And the taste is just perfect. Their Jaiva is really good too. My husband gets filete empanizado and he always devours it . read more

If I could give this place -2 stars I would! Saturday night my husband and I went to eat at this place. It was 9:34-9:37, we were excited to eat here. The place was almost full (good sign I suppose, but it was Saturday night, the place is small and weekend days are usually the busiest days for every restaurant). As soon as we walked in, a 12 ordinary looking kid approaches us asking us if we are gonna eat in there or we were gonna take the food home?... Because the place was gonna close at 10pm therefor we could only order carry out.. Only carry out O.O?!?!? (Wow!! Rude I thought but we were hungry and didn't want to make a big deal out of it) For what I know they welcome you with a small cup of spice soup and give you some crackers. Point is the cashier pretty much said that since the complimentary soup had been put away (before they even were closed) we were out of luck. So basically it was take what we want to offer you or just don't!... HOW ON EARTH ARE YOU GOING TO TREAT CUSTOMERS LIKE THAT??!? The two people that dealt with us were young, ignorant of business and 10-15 years away from being somewhat professional.. I'm guessing they were related to the owner, to be as bold as ballsy as they were.. We then went to el Muelle (the sea food restaurant almost next door) go there next time.. Even though el Muelle also closes at 10pm we were welcomed as if it was early ( we arrived around 9:40) and the food was amazing!! read more

I love the consome here! I also like the piña envuelta. The place is small but comfortable

My favorite Mexican Seafood of all time! The empanadas are delicious, camarones a la diabla are amazing and their ceviche is the best! Avoid going on weekends because there is always a long wait for a table. The place is nothing fancy and it is byob. Their consume is a perfect start to any meal. My only issue that I noticed is that they keep like a plastic box with the ceviche out in the open and is not properly refrigerated. read more

I ordered for delivery and they charge $4? I think that's a lot! Consomé levanta muertos was good and spicy. The coctel vuelve a la vida was not what I'm used to. No flavor, there was more water than anything. Expensive. For large Consomé and the medium coctel I paid $19 plus $4 they charged for shipping. read more

I heard of this place from a friend who raved about the shrimp empanadas, so I had to give it a try. I order the shrimp empanda plate - came with 3 Large empanadas (very generous with shrimp), rice, crab salad, lettuce, tomatoes, lime wedges, saltine crackers and homemade salsa. All for $10! It's not a fancy place, pretty casual (some would consider it a bit of a "dive"), but the the seafood is great. I'm looking forward to going back to try something different. read more
