I came to Mariscos Maria with my family and we had such a great experience overall! My mom ordered the Siete Mares and she literally gave it 10 stars--she loved it that much! If you enjoy a little spice (but not too much), just a heads up on the aguachiles... they are EXTREMELY spicy definitely a nose-runner, so come prepared! My teenager ordered the tacos flautas and devoured the entire plate without me even having to ask, so you already know that was a win My 4-year-old niece had a salmon all to herself, which says a lot too! My sister and I shared the Cohete. I'd give that one a 3/5--it was missing the melted cheese, which was a bit disappointing. We also tried a Michelada made with mineral water instead of beer, and honestly... it tasted just as good! On top of everything, the customer service was great, friendly and attentive the whole time. Overall, despite a small hiccup with one dish, I'd still give this place a 10/10. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I was really excited to come try their mango micheladas and support a local business that's still holding it down in West Adams, but honestly, I left disappointed. I had pretty high expectations since they're part of the Midcity Mercado. The place itself is cozy, but it feels a bit outdated and could definitely use a deep cleaning, the walls looked pretty dusty. We (a friend and I) decided to sit outside on the patio, which ended up being a HUGE mistake. We were pretty much abandoned and had to flag down a waitress just to get checked on. I know a restaurant can get busy, but the service felt very nonchalant for an empty establishment. The mango michelada was great, which is why I'm giving it two stars. The shrimp ceviche was interesting, more creamy than what I'm used to. It seemed like it had a ketchup based sauce, which was different. Not really my favorite but wasn't really impressed either. This place has a lot of potential, but I think with better service and a little more attention to presentation of the restaurant, it could be a really dope spot. read more

They have good mariscos, drinks and Mexican food. The service was also good, they were fast and attentive. They checked in a couple times if we were doing okay. The ambiance is lively, they have indoor and outdoor seating available with TVs all around. They also have daily deal specials, different for every day of the week and the prices were reasonable. We enjoyed everything we tried. The mango margarita was so flavorful and a good portion for the price. We had the shrimp ceviche, carne asada plate, grilled salmon plate with garlic plate (you can customize and request how you want your fish cooked), the mojarra frita was a good size and it was delicious too. It was their special on Mondays and it only came out to $9. read more

Yes I go every Friday Food is always fresh n so delicious. Order never takes long.

I was honestly very surprised at the portion of my plate and how quickly the food is prepared once ordered. I really enjoy the frijoles, the chile relleno tasted even better the next day for left overs. The portions, in general, were very good. The only downside was that on this night there was only one waitress. It just meant a bit of a longer wait to be seated and attended to. read more

I came to this restaurant because I saw them in my instagram feed. So for 5 de Mayo I too my family to give this place a chance especially since it's in my neighborhood. But I must say service was horrendous. As soon as we walked in we were never greeted although two young ladies including Tatiana saw us standing there by the entrance but said absolutely nothing. Not a welcome, for how many, let me get your name NOTHING. We waited for 20 mins standing there. I had to approach the waitress and she seemed bothers. She gave us a table. We waited to order out our drinks 15 mins after no drinks no waitress. Luckily we were helped by two young men that I am sure saw the need to help out with the tables. Because of them we got our drinks. We he then took our order and we waited for another 20 mins this was insane. We had to get the bill without our food and we decided to leave. The two young ladies need customer service training. I will not come back. This was a waste of time. read more

I've lived in the neighborhood since 2019 and really wanted to like this place. It has a chill laidback, locals only vibe. I ordered a shrimp aguachile (I think that's what it was but can't find the menu to reference) from the appetizer section and even pointed to it. I was served a rather large portion of the dish. It was super spicy and just lacked flavor. And I just didn't like the extreme rawness of the shrimp, which I am aware is the style of this dish and a personal preference. When the bill came, I noticed we had been charged a price higher than what I saw on the menu. Turns out I had been served the entree portion. The server was super annoyed with us and actually even scolded me. I was pretty shocked and feel like I have some pretty thick skin. But it just caught me off guard. Although we said we'd pay the entree price, she changed it to the appetizer price. Safe to say it's not likely we'll come back. read more

We commute 25 miles from the SFV to Maria's and in LA traffic specially the 405 that's a mission but the Mariscos here are well worth it! Michoacana and proud! I grew up eating mariscos in Playa Azul and this hut set up and delicious seafood takes me back to easier and better times. Mojarra Frita- Perfection!! Served with rice and beans , side salad and I of course added French fries cuz u can't have mojarra frita without papas! Rice + Beans - Mexican stamp of approval ! Aguachiles- spicy spicy spicy with huge fresh shrimp, fresh cucumber and yummy avocado. Camarones a la plancha - just order these ! Great customer service, hard people giving it their all and it shows in their food and great attitude. read more

Mariscos Maria's Restaurant - Aguachiles - spicy ! Yummy ! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tasty food. We ordered micheladas, tostada de ceviche, oysters, and agua chiles. Michelada cost $10 each. Tajin rim with a spicy mix. Tostada had the perfect serving on ceviche. Oysters were smaller than usual but still delightful. Agua chiles were okay. A handful of shrimp for $20 felt overpriced. read more

the michiladas are unlike any other they're thick spicy and delicious! everything was seasoned, salted, limed to perfection. read more

I've been here a few times and every time we have a really great experience. The menu is huge so I suggest ordering a mojara (the deep fried tilapia) mojo de ajo (a garlic sauce) or a molcajete (sizzling meat in the volcanic rock) Service is very attentive as well. Nice hole in the wall place!! read more

Good food for a great price. I've had many dishes here, but their molcajete mixto is my favorite. If you're going to have a beer, definitely get a Michelada. I also love the fact that I can play my music on their local system & listen to my rancheras. Overall, it's a great place! read more

Oh wow. I found this place by accident; honestly, just driving past and couldn't find a place I wanted to stop at, saw the sign, did a u-turn and parked and in I went. The waitress was friendly and attentive, the polla con plancha (grilled chicken and french fries) was honestly superb. Inexpensive, huge portion, and delicious. I just wish I found this place before i started my diet. Seriously good Mexican food, reasonably priced, and friendly waitress. 10/10 in my book. read more

Very terrible service I will never go back there , it took 30 minutes to get some water so NO DONT GO THERE !

Wanted to try this place since I happened to be in the area. I was extremely disappointed in the service and food quality. It was hard to know where to order since nobody will greet you or tell you to give them a minute to take your order, they just stare around. As I'm waiting to order there is a man frustrated saying he's been waiting at a table without anyone taking his order. After asking a waitress I witness him being told to order at the window and when he tries to do so they tell him he has to wait for a waitress. It just seemed to me like there was no system for welcoming guests or serving tables. It took more than 30 mins to prepare my order containing 3 asada tacos and 2 fish tacos to go. I take the food because I'm hungry and nowhere near home and find the fish tacos are burnt. The batter to fish ratio was overwhelming, very little fish, tiny smear of sauce over the tacos, cold tortillas and burnt! I didn't get a picture of the asada tacos but it did not look like good meat, somehow the asada looked like tiny little meatballs instead. I thought you could never go bad with some basic tacos de asada but I was wrong! They gave us a lot of tortilla chips on the side but probably just to get rid of them because they were stale. Also gave us lemons on the side and they were already moldy, couldn't even bother to check before placing in the bag. Overall outdated restaurant, horrible service, and terrible food. Wish I could give it negative stars. read more

Amazing food, amazing service! Always great vibes! Highly recommend also checking out the store/monthly events next door at Persona.

Love this please, food is great, the people are nice and I will always eat here when I need a nice spicy meal

7mares soup is the best thing EVER! I COULD EAT IT EVERYDAY the place is perfect for authentic Mexican seafood!

Very disappointing I have been going here for YEARS and this has been the worse experience ever. The waiter had very bad attitude especially when they served the calamari's it was burnt and we bad told the waiter and they said " the people behind you are eating them". My mom was still eating and they took her plate without asking if she had finished and the presentation is very bad we had thought it would look the same as in photos but it didn't very disappointing . read more

I was at Maria's for the first time on Sunday. It was a disaster. First, off there is no system in who came first. Secondly, we waited for a tostada de ceviche de camaron for 30 minutes. Wow!! And there was a soccer game on TV and all the customers were inside with no mask. Can you say Corona virus party at its best. The inside of the restaurant was full to it's capacity and customers that ordered take-out were going inside the restaurant to wait for their order. Wow. There needs to be a system in place for take-out orders. The customers next to us they were served after us and arrived before us. The only thing compt was their cup of coffee. Seriously. Wow. And when I received my bill and I paid with a credit card there's a $.50 cent charge for using your credit card. The service sucked and trust me I won't be coming to this restaurant again. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon with the fam. Really cute beach hut vibe w/ tropical decor. Chips and salsa were alright, I've tasted better. Ordered aguachiles, ceviche de camaron, oysters and quesadillas w/ beans and rice. Aquachiles are sooo good and very spicy! Oysters were suprisingly good. The ceviche didn't taste fresh but good seasoning and sadly tostadas were stale. Ignored the beans and rice cuz it didnt taste good but asada quesadillas were delicious. read more

I love supporting local restaurants and this one is awesome. I went during lunch time and it was pretty busy. There was only one waitress that I saw but she was fast and efficient. The shrimp taco was delicious but my favorite was the shrimp tostada. The campechana was good but didn't have enough shrimps and the flavor was ok. I'm not sure how the rest of the menu is but I will definitely be back. I want to try their other foods bc it looks delicious. I really like that they have a kids menu which makes it easier to eat with the family. The decoré is typical of a Mexican seafood restaurant, but cute. read more

Last visit here about a month ago is what brought me back today. The ingredients in the "Campechana" seafood mixed cocktail were fresh, generous and delicious. The govenador taco was epic! And the price was great. However today I again ordered the campechana and I noticed a strange smell coming from the shrimp when I got ready to eat. They were old and smelly! All the ingredients looked bad and scary to eat. I sent it back to avoid food poisoning. I'm 48 and I've gone down that road before. Not my first Mexican rodeo! I ordered the asada sope instead. It was lackluster at best. Half the meat was nerves and scrap pieces. The shell of the sope was old and leather like. I forced it down since I was starving. I gave 3 stars to balance out the last visit. read more
