Little hole in the wall, micheladas were really good. Good was also good. I like this little place , will go again when I am in the area ! read more

Rude & bad service. They can't handle a busy afternoon at all. I come here with all my family regularly but after todays NON service, I will not be returning ever. read more

My friend and I came here after a morning hike at Peters Canyon nearby. Ceviche just sounded like a good and healthy meal to have post-hike. I got a fish ceviche + shrimp ceviche, both served on top of a tostada, while my friend got her own fish ceviche plus a marlin taco. Both ceviches were very good, the shrimp being my favorite. There was plenty of seafood in the ceviche, and it was piled on high. It was very good topped with Tapatio. My friend also enjoyed her ceviche and marlin taco, which she described to have a very interesting deep smoky tuna flavor. On top of that, the prices were very cheap; the ceviche only cost about $3-ish each! The service was really great too. Overall, we had a good experience and I would definitely come back for more when I'm in the area. read more

Okay I'm no lover of seafood whatsoever and I was forced to come here for my dads birthday dinner and boy was I wrong! First off their service is great and the ambience is decent at best but that's whatever to me. Secondly I looked up what was good here since I am not a lover of fish as I said but I saw that someone posted a photo of the camarones culichis and OH MY GOD this dish is DELICIOUS. I tolerate shrimp in most cases but in this case I am madly in love with this dish and I want to know what this green sauce is made out of! Would definitely recommend camarones culichis to those who are not lovers of seafood and this is not a spicy dish either to those who are worried about spice! read more

We loved this place. The food was delicious! The shrimp tacos are amazing, Great service, too. Very fast and friendly. Full stars all the way. read more

Best Mariscos! Try the ceviche, Aguachile, tacos de Marlin or the Coctel de camaron. They are very generous with their portions.

Today was the third time I have been here in two weeks because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEIR FOOD and SERVICE! I split a Coctel de Camarones y Pulpo the first time, along with a Marlin Taco and this OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD SEAFOOD MOLCAJETTE the second and third time and will keep on coming back! THIS IS THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY! read more

I'm new to the area and have been looking for a good Mariscos spot and I think I have found it!!! I turned to Yelp once again and they didn't steer me wrong. Food and Mecheladas were great Already thinking when I can come back!!! read more

Mariscos Mocorito - shrimp aguachiles - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

The shrimp cocktail has lots of veggies (cucumber, tomato, avocado), but can have it modified to your liking. It is mostly in a tomato juice. The ceviche (fish) in a tostada is a big portion with lots of veggies (tomato, cucumber, avocado) in light tomato juice. With your order, you get tostadas, salt crackers, a lemon, hot sauce packets, and salt and pepper (may ask for extra at no additional charge). Pros: Big portions for the price and very fast service if you order take out. Cons: Parking lot is very tiny and confusing. read more

Food is pretty good, it has a similar taste to another place I really like. Wait, i meant to say Shrimp Ceviche and shrimp taco is pretty good. That is basically what i only get there. So this review is on that only. I never eat there since it always seems to be full. Lately I've ordered huge trays of this STUFF (this STUFF, Miranda voice from Devil Wears Prada) and shared it with family. Its priced reasonably and it sure saves me a heck of time. I hate peeling shrimp and i refuse to buy already cooked and peeled shrimp. The ladies pack you a grip of limes, salsa, saltines, and tostadas. They don't skimp. I hear the micheladas are bomb, and the cocteles aren't sweet like other places like to serve. Yummy read more

Let's start off with the service. Good Customer service. Waitress is on it, she would come to our table ever 5-7 mins to make sure everything was ok. Let's talk about the food: While it's not bad but is its not all that. I ordered 1/2 dozen of oysters and they were good. The taco of Marlin was ok. It has to much going on inside (green peppers, tomatoes, onions, sour cream etc) I've had the tacos of Marlin more plain with a special sauce and they were the BOMB at other locations. We also ordered a shrimp cocktail and it was missing some condiments but was ok. The place inside is small but comfortable. Would I come back? Maybe read more

Came in looking for some micheladas on a saturday night and was not disappointed! We ordered a few rounds of micheladas and beer. We also ordered Aguachilles (AMAZING), fried shrimp tacos (my favorite), and a few marlin tacos. (Very different!) Everything was on point, and to top it all off the servers were REALLY nice and really on top of checking on us!! I will come back again! read more

It was a super hot day and the only thing that was gonna cool me off was some bomb ass ceviche. Well, I knew I wasn't going to make it so I checked Yelp to find some good ceviche in my hood. Seeing that I live in Anaheim I knew I wouldn't have to go too far, which was even better. Yelp and the amazing pictures lead me to Mariscos Mocorito. I didn't think it would be a sit down place. I thought it would be a place where I would pop in, order something real quick, and bounce. I was wrong. I walked into a very laid back restaurant where the patrons were all smashing on this food. It was packed in here and I knew we walked into something special. We ordered a couple of tacos (that was a mistake because the tacos were so bomb we definitely shoulda ordered more) and the shrimp cocktail. The service was great and the girl rang us up quickly and she was super pleasant. We got everything home and went to town on that stuff. The shrimp cocktail was full of big meaty pieces of shrimp and cut veggies. This all soaked in a cold and flavorful sauce. All I needed was a Pacifico, but I drink craft so I had a Belgian (close enough, right?) Damn. This food was legit. I heard there's 40 more days of summer which means I have a short window to get back here and get more. read more

Mariscos Mocorito is an authentic Mexican Seafood eatery in a hole in the wall location. It is very authentic with their vast array of every Mexican hot sauce you can think of, seriously I saw some salsas I hadn't even heard of before and I am super Mexican, just ask my parents. I would have given Mariscos Mocorito a 5 star review but their tables are way too small, their Michelada glasses are way to heavy (I do not want to be lifting a dumb bell at lunch) and they lacked a live Mexican banda with the accordion and all. Call me crazy but I do enjoy a Mexican banda when I go eat Mariscos, what's Mariscos without the banda playing? The food is a definite five star. I had the Michelada to drink, some of the Taco de Marlin and a Campechana. The campechana is $12.95 and well worth it. They jam pack it with ostiones, camarones, abalon, callo de hacaha, pulpo y quien sabe que mas... For my gringo friends that is oysters, shrimp, abalon, scallops, mussels and octopus diced cilantro, onions, Clamato and avocado. Buen provecho! read more

Some of the best ceviche and marlin tacos I've ever had. Staff is super nice and the food came out immediately. I'll be back. Parking is challenging but who cares? By the way they only accept cash tips, so bring bills baby. read more

So i've called a few times, I speak both English AND Spanish.. (I AM MEXICAN) Every time i call and say 1-2 words in English, they automatically hang up. Yes, i understand this IS a mariscos place, but instead of being assholes and hanging up on customers that have a simple question maybe you should learn some common courtesy and pay mind to the people that matter! read more

Twice this week I had heard about Mariscos Mocorito and felt that it was a sign to give it a try. First off, it isn't a huge place but there were definitely a lot of people eating there at 3pm. The menu basically contains different variations of shrimp, marlin, octopus, and other fish. Since the ceviche seemed to be what everyone loved, I tried the ceviche de camaron. It isn't very common to find marlin on anybody's menu so I got a couple of tacos de marlin. The ceviche was tasty, basically what I was expecting, lightly cooked shrimp doused in lemon, tomato, onion and cilantro, topped with avocado. The tacos de marlin are certainly different than any other taco I've ever had. The marlin was shredded and mixed with a mixture of peppers, tomatoes, and other good stuff. It was almost fajita like and grilled into a tortilla. The tacos were a lot bigger than I expected and I ended giving half of mine to my boyfriend because I was full. I had to deduct a star due to a personal issue overhearing the waitress telling my boyfriend in Spanish, while paying for the bill, that it is good that the American girl tries something different other than the usual hot dog. Ummm, first off, I do understand what you're saying, and who are you to assume I'm that neophobic and ethnocentric not to try food I'm not familiar with? I find that offensive because I absolutely love to try foods from other countries but also the fact that I am open minded and love to learn about other cultures as well. read more

This restaurant is the reason I created my Yelp profile.... I am hoping no one makes the same mistake I did. I drive by this place all the time and figured sinaloa style ceviche was good (having had it in Mazatlan) so being the ceviche enthusiast that I am I walked in and ordered both the shrimp and fish one. This was three hours ago... Right now, my stomach is in throbbing pain. I was a little worried when I walked in at lunch time and the place was deserted. After I got my ceviche I figured out why... There was minute amounts of fish and shrimp littered with an absurd amount of tomato and cucumber (which doesnt belong in ceviche anyway) and pretty much no lime flavor anywhere to be found. She did give me half of a key lime to distribute over both tostadas. Don't go. If you do, don't get the ceviche. read more

Full disclosure, I'm a fish taco fanatic and if my mind could manifest a perfect fish taco it would look like the fish taco at Mariscos Mocorito. This baby is beautiful, try to hold off long enough to take a facebook pic because you'll want to make your foodie friends jealous. The batter on the fish is thick and bready, kind of like a corn dog, but not at all sweet, and the sheer amount of fish and salsa on the taco could easily fill 3 corn tortillas. The restaurant looks like your typical taco shop, but it's actually a sit-down establishment, and even if you are obviously, painfully, white-looking, like I am, you'll still be addressed initially in Spanish, which is a bit intimidating, but after a confused smile, suddenly the staff speaks perfect English, LOL! I had both my kids with me and when I asked to be seated outside I got the 'But you can't have a michelada outside!' so I guess I missed out on their famous beer/clamato cocktails, darn? Overall, this is a great spot for Mexican style seafood. Friendly staff, kick-ass fried fishy tacos, authentic ceviche and all the lime you can handle. read more

Finished work around the area and was craving some fish tacos. Yelped around for fish tacos and Mariscos caught my attention with the huge fish tacos! Came around 2:15 and it was packed inside. Luckily there was a seat outside. Felt a bit shy to eat outside but I'm not eating fish tacos to go! You got to eat that fresh! Medium sized parking lot. A few seating's inside and few outside. You order at the register and they bring the food to you. Cash and credit accepted. The menu was pretty simple and straight to it. I immediately ordered the Fish taco, Shrimp tostada and Marin taco (some fish with a hard shell and similar toppings to fish taco). And yes this was all for myself! Hey I worked hard, I deserve a treat :) _Shrimp tostada, amazing! so fresh! small bits of fresh and raw shrimp, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions, chopped cucumbers and 2 small slices of avocado. I regret not getting 2 of these! A small size so great dish to start off with. _Fish taco. Tortilla was nicely warm and soft, one huge portion of nicely fried flaky fresh fish. Good amount of shredded cabbage, chopped tomatoes and fair amount of white sauce with some spicy red sauce. Everything was well portioned, nothing too less or more to take away from the fish. I wish I got 2 of these! _Marlin taco, This was not my fave. The tortilla is served crispy and tad grilled, which I liked. The topping were similar to fish tacos but added melted cheese. I qish I knew that because I can't really eat cheese and it made it taste heavier and rich. I thought the Marlin was more of a white fish but it was a bit brown/red. Tasted and looked like shredded beef, rather than fish. Overall it was too heavy for me compared to the other dish. Maybe I should have ate this first because after those first 2 this just did not do it. They also bring out extra saltine crackers and tostada chips for the tostadas or if you order ceviche, Which I liked because most places don't do that or you have to ask them for extra tostada chips. Service was great, the girls were friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back here again if i'm ever in the area. Price is pretty decent for the quality and quantity! read more

Decided to try this place out, after my sister ate there and thought it was good. The place is small but very clean. Service was good! Their menu is small, which I kind of liked because it made my choice a lot easier. I had a fish ceviche tostada and a campechana.......both were full of flavor. I was very pleased with their prices, considering it's seafood, they were pretty reasonable. I've been to other places where the same type of dish costs a lot more....and are not as good. I will definately be back! read more

I drive from Fullerton to Orange because I like this place that much. Big portions and cheap prices. We had a michelada, 2 tostadas de pescado, a campechana, a tostada de pulpo and camaron and another beer all for $30. Service is pretty good and it's not too loud and obnoxious like other mexican mariscos places. We could actually hear each other. I will def go again in like a week lol read more

My new fav for a seafood fix. Shared the Shrimp Ceviche, which was done well. Nice and citrusy, full of big shrimp chunks. When I look around the restaurant, I can see that this is a popular choice. Also had the Marlin and Shrimp Taco. All reasonably priced, $2.50 for the Shrimp Taco & Shrimp Ceviche. Then 3.75 for the Marlin Taco. From the 3 items, the Marlin Taco was my favorite. This taco is nice and cheesy, full of Marlin. Not to familiar with Marlin but all I can say is that this taco is tasty. Shrimp taco is made with fried shrimp which has a tasty batter. All were hearty portions, so I was stuffed. Fyi if you use a card, you will be charged an additional $1 read more

Mariscos Mocorito - Marlin and Shrimp tacos here are so amazing - Mexican Near Me - Orange, California

My favorite Mexican seafood joint. Part of my weekly lunch rotation spots. Awesome take on marlin taco. A must try when you come here. There seafood soup is hearty and more than filling. Perfect for a cold day or hangover. Micheladas are refreshing on a hot day. Try the ceviche too. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Love the assortment of hot sauces on the table. read more

Best shrimp ceviche ever! If you think you found the best ceviche elsewhere, you're wrong. Best part is that I feed my girlfriend and myself for under $25 with a Dos Equis each. Go now, you'll thank me later. read more

My boyfriend, his mom and grandma and I all came here Sunday for lunch. We just got done doing our taxes and we're recommended this place by their friend. It is a cute little place in the corner of a small shopping center. They don't have many table inside and they have about 2 outside. It was busy! We luckily got a 4top inside! The food was great! I have the octopus and shrimp cocktail. It was huge!! Very yummy!! We also shared a few items and everything was so fresh and delicious! The service was great! All the ladies were very attentive and helpful. They were all very busy but they were working hard and had smiles while doing so ! read more

This place had the best Mexican seafood I've had since I left Cabo San Lucas, I had tostadas de camaron and tacos de camaron both of them were so good I almost forgot I was in the USA lol. It's worth the trip trust me, they also have the worlds biggest michelada and they were amazing I cannot wait to go back there and I just left, enjoy. read more

I am never going to trust yelp reviewers again. I went for the yelp favorites such fish ,shrimp, and marlin tacos. Stay away from the fish and shrimp tacos because the breading on it was thick as hell and I couldn't even taste the shrimp or fish. It just adds to the gross factor when the bite into the taco is mostly breaded parts. Fish and shrimp tacos 1/5 Marlin tacos 4/5 pretty good because at least I can taste the texture of the fish Camarones DE tostado. 5/5 I think this will be my last visit her for awhile unless I have a craving for their shrimp ceviche. read more

If I could give no stars I would! Food sucks! The ambiance not so family friendly! Lots of drunks. Never going back.

I am a huge fan of Latin American cuisine so when I was given the opportunity to try this place out I jumped up. If there's one thing I like, it's trying places that seem like holes in a wall but turn out better food than a Michelin guide 5 star restaurant. This restaurant serves only Sinaloan style seafood fare, and there are no pollos, carne, or chile here. You won't find any vegetarian options either so vegans be warned. However, it provides an excellent experience as far as I am concerned. Our evening started with an appetizer course of tortilla chips and saltine crackers, which had my companion and I sharing bemused grins and I had to admit I was skeptical about the rest of our meal. I needn't have worried, because the main course blew my mind. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, the spice was riding a knife's edge of being unmanageable but remained playful enough to keep me smiling. The quantity could have fed two so I was quite stuffed by the end of it. Overall an excellent meal. The staff were courteous and even though the place doesn't have the look of a place good enough for a date, the staff provided a very pleasant and warm dining experience, and kept the ambience as romantic as they could. I found no issues with it but men looking to romance it up, this is not the place. But you want good food, you've found it. read more

Been here more than a dozen times. I've tried almost everything on the menu with my favorites being the camarones culichis, camarones enchiladas, marlin shrimp or fish tacos and of course there micheladas. There service has always been amazing which speaks volumes as there always busy. You can call your order in for pick up and it will be ready within 10-20 minutes. Only con that I have encountered is parking but not a Big deal at all if you're looking for authentic Mexican seafood. read more

Great cerviche and marlin tacos that won me over and justify the 5 star rating. If you've never had a marlin taco stop what your doing, get your ass over here and eat one. They are the bomb. This is a 5 star establishment. Great service, friendly ladies working, awesome food, great prices. Try it, you'll like it. read more

The service is consistently friendly, and the food is reasonably priced My go-to is the marlin taco, shrimp ceviche tostada and the oysters on the half shell. Gotta try the michelada soon. read more

Great food at great prices and super friendly staff. Walked in close to 8pm and they still let us in. We were immediately served tostadas, crackers and lemons with plenty of hot sauces already at the table. Ordered Tacos Marin? And aguachiles order came out really quick and it was all delicious! Will be coming back again. read more

Very limited menu made up of only seafood items that all look delicious in the photographs, and the food came out looking even better! The portions are very generous, despite the reasonable price tag! A very casual, laidback place that serves beer, is extremely family friendly, and wonderful attentive service. Loved my experience and will be back with friends! I took away two stars just because they only offer seafood items so I can't bring anyone here who doesn't eat seafood; and I would have appreciated the advice about how much food to order for myself! Three "little" orders of ceviche was too much, and I felt bad wasting it! But I get the concept though: limited menu so they can step it up with what they do offer and serve! And they definitely follow through! read more

$10 CREDIT CARD MINIMUM! We got the shrimp ceviche tostada, marlin tacos and shrimp tacos. All were delicious, though my companion thought the marlin taco was a lil funky/mushy. Shrimp ceviche was delicious and they give you a big stack of plain tostadas because yours will inevitably get soggy. The shrimp tacos come with a soft tortilla and the marlin tacos are in a (seemingly) freshly made hard shell. They have a ton of hot sauces too, which is always appreciated for my spice addiction. I was in and out for lunch in about 30 minutes and the ladies working there were very friendly. Although there are definitely cheaper options, ($17 for 4 tacos and the ceviche), I would definitely return if I was feenin for some mariscos! read more

Best Place to get some Shrimp Ceviche & Some nice cold Micheladas. If you don't know what a Michelada is, Google it. Their staff is really Friendly. They Also have some bomb Tacos de Marlin and Shrimp tacos. Im eating there at least 3-5 times a month & I've introduced it to most of my friends and family members. The place is crowded every time I go, which says something about the restaurant. It's hard to find good ceviche, however this place has it! Highly recommend this restaurant if you like seafood. read more

Came here for the first time and found myself in the middle of a huge Friday lunch rush. Trying to place a to-go order took 35 minutes, and then about 10 minutes more to get our food, but the food itself was totally worth the less-than-friendly service and chaos. The lack of direction (a simple sign that says "For To-Go, Order Here") and the rather belligerent response of the staff to simple inquiries is the only reason this isn't getting 5 stars. Yes, we understand that you're crazy busy, but you don't need to snap at us. Had the shrimp taco and marlin taco, and they were ridiculously good. I was concerned that the shrimp might be overly breaded and the shrimp itself tough and overcooked, but it was perfect and tender and delicious. The marlin taco is smokey and rich - a little too rich for its portion size. If the marlin taco was half its size and a little cheaper, I would definitely get it again, but as it is, I'll probably stick to the lighter but equally delicious shrimp taco and try some other things on the menu. read more

Delicious, authentic, cheap - can't wait to go back! Mas ceviche por favor!
