Very dry over cook shrimp.

We were craving mariscos and found Mariscos Mazatlán on Yelp. When we got there we decided to dine in, but that turned out to be a mistake. The restaurant had a DJ booth and the music was extremely loud. So loud that my wife and I couldn't even have a conversation. After waiting a few minutes, we decided to ask for our food to go. Unfortunately, the food wasn't much better. I ordered the camarones cucaracha and they were very overcooked, almost like the shrimp had been deep fried. They were dry and had no sauce I was disappointed. My wife ordered a tostada de aguachiles verdes. The flavor was okay, but it seemed like the cucumbers weren't properly washed or peeled, and they didn't try to wash the shrimp it was also dirty. Overall, the experience was disappointing. Between the loud atmosphere and the food quality, we won't be coming back. They definitely need to improve their food quality.

When we went we were the only table at that particular time. It started to pick up as we were leaving. The music is perfect it makes you feel as if you are at a restaurant on the plyas and there is a groupo playing. It has a semi modern look to the dining area. The food was good the chips and salsa come pre seasoned and we're quite delectable. The food we got wasn't spicy. I wish there was a bit more spice to the dishes but they were still good. Overall, there are a few mariscos restaurants in Escondido and while this isn't the best it is not the worst either. It's worth a visit.

Mojarra Frita & Michelada
Mario V.

Went in for my first time to get rid of my seafood cravings, the one item I wanted to get was ACTUALLY on the Menu and such an important one, I'm glad I had the Mojarra frita it was perfect. The service was great and the ambiance was awesome. Also tried the camarones revueltos and a michelada. Easily a great spot to go for lunch if you want some seafood!

Amazing Food, great Service, host and servers always ready to attend. A fun ambiance! Good place to come watch the game.

AMAZING MICHE!!! I'm literally in love with it. Magical. 10/10

Best Michelada I've ever had in San Diego!! And I try A LOT of Micheladas! Chips and salsa in the beginning are very tasty as well. Perfect combo. Festive atmosphere! Must try!

Camarones Sucios

Food was delicious! I recommend the camarones sucios and the ceviche tostadas. The waitress was nice and attentive.

The best happy hour!!!! Best service and food in Escondido!!! Highly recommend it

My server Joel and Fer were THE BEST!!! on point and very attentive no disappointment, just delicious food and great service. The ambient was great

Shrimp & Pulpo cocktail
Kay M.

These guys get the 4 for the cooking quality. Calamari / octopus is a hit or miss for a lot of places but both it and the shrimp in the cocktail were nicely cooked. No chewyness. That is a big plus in my book. The ambience and space inside is ample, the view is nice too, even for it just overlooking the street. Nothing I tried screamed crazy good, but they were ok. They know what they're doing, maybe choosing other items could give me better luck.

Once restaurants can begin to profit again post-pandemic, I'm sure they will have the funds for repairs.

Pros: Nice staff. Aesthetically pleasing food. Music. Cons: Restroom needs some deep cleaning, but clean enough to use.

This is all pieces of fat floating on the top, it is NOT meat

Came to this place in hope of some good birria on a Sunday morning, so we decided to try theirs out. The staff was really friendly which is why I decided to give 3 stars instead of 2. The birria on the other hand was not great. It was full of fat, in fact it was mostly fat, and I felt grossed out looking at all the pieces of fat floating. We also tried the quesatacos and they were also mostly fat and the meat was really dry and unflavorful. I would say skip on the birria at this place. Update: changed from 3 stars to 2 stars bc me and my boyfriend both got sick the same night and threw up

Is the menu price for tostadas just for a single tostada?

Thank you for the hospitality and amazing food! Will be returning for the bar as well :)read more

FIRANGI Authentic Indian Gastropub -- What a Place!…read more Wow. I honestly walked in expecting a good Indian restaurant... but what I found was something completely different. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's a full-blown lounge with style. First thing you notice is the vibe. Beautiful Tiffany-colored interior, elegant lighting, and a stunning marble bar that looks like it belongs in some high-end lounge in London or Dubai. Very classy, very comfortable, very cool. But wait... it gets better. POOL TABLES! And not just decoration -- actual playable tables. $1 a game! I nearly fell off my chair. I haven't played in ages. When I was younger I used to be pretty serious about pool, so naturally I had to grab a cue and see if I still had the magic. Let's just say... the spirit is still there, even if the aim needs a little polishing. They even run pool tournaments on Saturdays, which is amazing. So now suddenly dinner can turn into a little friendly competition. I'm already planning my comeback tour. Now about the food -- absolutely authentic and delicious. Real Indian flavors, beautifully presented, rich spices, and clearly prepared with care. Everything we tried was excellent and I'm already planning my next visit because I have to try the lamb. I've heard it's fantastic. A special thank-you to Sky, the lady boss of this place. She is super friendly, incredibly polite, and very professional. You can immediately tell she knows the cuisine inside and out. She explained dishes, made recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Hospitality like that makes a huge difference. So what do we have here? * Beautiful lounge atmosphere * Marble bar and stylish interior * Authentic Indian cuisine * Pool tables for $1 (yes, really) * Saturday tournaments * Fantastic hospitality Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. A perfect spot for dinner, drinks, and maybe a little pool if you're feeling competitive. Let's just say this: I will definitely be coming back... probably way too often. If you see a guy practicing pool shots while waiting for his lamb curry -- that's probably me. Highly recommended. woww

It's really nice to have a local brew pub in Escondido! I've been multiple times and really like…read moreit. Very open concept that has a modern feel to it. There is a nice indoor/outdoor vibe as there are some really big glass garage type windows that open (or close). The service has always been very prompt and friendly. I keep going back to their pizza's as they are quite good. I also suggest checking the special of the day as they usually have some pretty cool ones. They also have beer! Quite a few to be honest and if you aren't sure they are great at helping you figure out what works for you. For good food served by nice people in a clean and modern environment, this is the place!

Something feels off here. The vibes in this place are weird and looking into the yelp page…read moreconfirmed my suspicion. First off, Im 100% sure the owner here uses ChatGPT to answer all negative yelp reviews. Any business owner worth their weight is able to think for themselves and use their brain to answer unless they're completely illiterate or too incompetent to think of a good response. Second off, are they even a brewery? I see cans and taps of their own beer, but looking into the business, I dont think they own a brewery at all. This is more along the lines of a taphouse/pub. THAT BEING SAID, the food is quite nice. I think the pizza is great and it feels like they make and roll their own dough which is respectable and ambitious for a random little spot like this. But It is quiet...too quiet. The beer tender would constantly hangout at the handicap table talking to any co-worker with free time on their hands for a long time. Seems like a cushy job honestly. I'm assuming they would hold conversation with customers, but unfortunately There were no customers... its a ghost town, and i left thinking, "This place is creepy." I'll just pick up and eat the pizza at home next time. I'm waiting to see what generic CHATGPT response the owner gives me.
