Low key and chill spot for mexican seafood with live music (pay per song guest groups). They have a nice large patio, dog and kid friendly. I'm usually happy with whatever dish i get, whether it be a Mexican combo plate or some type of seafood. Everything is usually prepared well. We noticed their pricing has increased and their menu no longer shows the prices of any items you order. We ordered a variety of items which varied from a single fish ceviche tostada, shrimp cocktail, mojarra plate, shrimp with red sauce, tacos, etc. The prices varied from $18 to $45 more or less. Customer service can be hit or miss, they have their good days and bad days, slow and grumpy or attentive and friendly. Plenty of street parking, small front parking lot and plenty of back lot parking with patio entrance. All in all chill spot to get your Mexican seafood fix and listen to some live music. read more

Went with family and friends before Dodgers game. Service on point, bucket of Pacifico's are ice cold. Ordered Campechana and it was so good. Shrimp and fried fish were on point. We had Mariachi's perform for us too. The atmosphere is energetic and service is their top priority, we could feel it! Will be back! read more

So glad I found this seafood spot. I reminded me of evenings after the horse show was done. Turn up the mexican music as we made carne asada and shimp over a fire pit. In Del Mar sea side horse stables. read more

Worst Mariscos in town!! Asked for zarandeando and got filete a la plancha with red sauce.

We came in on Sunday a party of 10 and waited a good 20 minutes to be acknowledged. When we finally sat down we asked the waitress if she could clean the table next to us because we had a big party she said no, that's my job. When I said okay where can they sit. She replied and said I don't care. Because of her extremely rude behavior and attitude towards we decided to leave. I would never ever come here again or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Customer service was great, very attentive staff ! The micheladas are very tasteful definitely would recommend for a hot day. Food was mostly great the shrimp tacos are supper tasteful with a lot of flavoring, the appetizer with mixed of seafood just needs a bit more of limón taste for my liking. Over all enjoyed me visit here. read more

Why haven't I discovered this place sooner. 100% great Margaritas & Food Let start with the chips and salsa ! Perfect !!! Not your typical Restuarant chips & salsa at the table Better ! Green mild salsa ,you can taste the toasted chilis little kick but perfect . Chips have the tortilla toasty taste. The margarita ,recommend by the sever -Lemon flavor was so refreshing and in house margarita mix you can taste the fresh squeezed limes and just the right sweet taste not over powering ,yet you can taste the tequila,delicious margarita I had the lightly breaded fish with rice ,beans & salad with some sliced potatoes ,perfectly toasted. The rice & beans 100% amazing The corn tortillas are hand made 100% good I could eat them just by themselves . Enough parking and inside & outside seating The inside Restuarant decor and ambience makes you feel like your visiting Mexico read more

The food was good, and their chips and salsa were excellent. We had ceviche, molcajete Mexicano, and a Michelada. They also have a special going of 6 beers for $20, so it's worth it if you want to take advantage of their happy hour deal. There was only one server, but he did a good job. read more

Stopped by while visiting my spouse's abuelita. We had a party five which was no problem because there was plenty of seating. This place should of been packed, but it seems like they were taking the proper guidelines during this time. There was karaoke and a very enjoyable crowd! I ordered the fajitas camaron and a jamaica. Food literally came out sizzling! I wanted to take a video but I didn't want to disrespect the abuelita. The portion was large and delicious. No way I could finish it but definitely satisfied. A $20 dish but definitely meant for 2-3 people. A fresh plate of rice and beans was served with the main dosh. Fresh and HOT corn tortillas. A mini salad and the best chili sauces provided. My spouse order four fish tacos. The portions were also pretty big. I took bite, I would of ate more if I could. Uncle Ponce ordered a shrimp cocktail that came in a glass gauntlet. I forget what the rest ordered but it was all so well portioned and absolutely delectable. Next time, definitely going to try their alcoholic beverages (the pina colada, margaritas and the michelada). It was very clean, staff kind, attentive and friendly and overall, I enjoyed my first time here! Thank you! read more

Excellent service, authentic Mexican Food. The restaurant has a wine and beer license only. I would go back and try other dishes if it wasn't so far from my home. We were a group of 6 and were easily accommodated. Our server had very limited English language skills (I translated for my group). Not sure if this is the case for all servers. Music on weekends. Indoor and a patio for outdoor dining available. read more

Food was decent. The michelada mix was not good at all. It actually had a fishy taste. To much mix not enough beer. Wish I would have got my waitress name she was nice but the lady who rang me up had attitude. read more

A restaurant.com gift card lead me here. It's off of Rosemead in a hole in the wall parking lot. They have karoake nights so if you dont like loud music, this may not be the place for you. I sat on the other side of the restaurant so it wasnt as loud. We ordered the grilled red snapper, mochajete mexicano, and bacon wrapped shrimp in chipotle sauce. The red snapper was ok, a bit overcooked but the flavor was good. The chipotle bacon shrimp was flavorful. I didnt try the mochajete but was told it was decent. Their spanish rice had decent flavor. I wish they came and filled our beverages more often. The restaurant only had about 4 tables filled and it was hard to get attention for service. Food is okay, nothing to rave about but it was worth a try. read more

We came here with a friend who's been here several times. He loves coming here for the sea food so we were sold to come and try it out. It was around 12:30 on a Sunday and three musicians where 3 musicians playing in the tiny stage. They played about four songs and then took a break for about an hour and as we were leaving we heard them starting to play again. We were a group of seven and the waiter was anxious for us to order quickly, four of us had never been here before so we wanted to take a look at all the menu items. After ordering, the food came out in a decent amount of time but the service declined drastically, she took very long getting us refills and extra food items that we had asked for so, I get up and go to the front to ask for the items again and she said oh I'll be over there in a minute she did have a bit of a smarty pants attitude and made me feel like I was asking for freebies. I will not be dining here again, not worth the drive. read more

Not what it used to be. First closing time says 11pm we get there around 9:40pm, and we are told we only have 5 minutes to order. Waitress also had an attitude. They only have 3 mixed drinks available from all the ones that are on the menu. I ordered a Paloma it tasted horrible so I returned it. Waitress said it was the tequila, but no, it tasted like expired lemon. I then ordered a strawberry margarita tasted very basic. Food was not that great, and one can soda is almost 4 bucks. Prices are to high for the quality of the service and food. Will never return and definitely don't recommend. read more

My family and I came here for my brother's 24th birthday and the service sucked. The server (the one with red hair) took our order, dropped off an incomplete order and then was never to be seen again. My mom was waiting on her rice and my brother on his drink. By the time 2 other helpful restaurant workers came by to check in on us, 30-40 minutes in, we were mostly done and it was too late for my mom to enjoy her rice so she dismissed it. Also, we find out half of the drinks on the menu, including my brother's, are unavailable because they don't have a bar!? Then let it be known on the menu or take them off. I learned they serve the few mixed drinks they have with agave wine not hard liquor. No wonder my margarita was weak. Anyway, aside from the service, there is so much better competition. The food here is nothing special. read more

Ok so the first restaurant we decided to come to once quarantine was lifted was Mariscos San Isidro. However, we noticed the sign and menu looked different so we assumed ownership may have changed? But everything sucked today :( my father in laws shrimp was overly cooked, my husband's tostada mixta lacked flavor and lime juice, I mean he had to drown it in Tapatio to give it flavor. I wasn't too hungry since I had a big breakfast so I opted for the carne asada fries/appetizer and even that sucked since I got pieces of burned fry and the meat was fatty, not to mention hardly any cheese on it. Service was the usual, slow AF and I had to ask twice for ketchup.. even though the restaurant wasn't busy. This restaurant used to be one of our favorites for Mariscos. Sadly, we will not be back anymore :( read more

So so food. Service is good. Drinks are a bit watered down. My margaritas didn't have much tequila. It's ok if you need a spot for a bite to eat read more

The food and service was really good!!!! I had the ceviche and shrimp/octopus Diablo. I love love loved both. The Diablo is super spicy so make sure you can handle spicy. It made me poop every time I ate it lol sorry if tmi but it really got me and I eat a lot of spicy!!! read more

The service here has really gone down since COVID. They don't care about their customers. Today we came sat at a booth and waited as the servers just passed us by. Finally one came and just left the menus and left didn't bother to ask if we wanted drinks. And it's not like the place was busy. We have been here when it's busy and the service has not been this bad. So as we continue to wait for a server the same girl who brought the menus sat another couple and began right away to ask them what they would like to drink. So once she was done I got her attention and told her we have been waiting and I just drop the menu on the table but she proceeds to say it wasn't her and she would find out who it was and who our server was. I have been coming for years but now I will be looking for a new marisco restaurant. Cause the service here is so bad now. Plus dirty! read more

I was completing a rotation at a nearby facility and my clinical supervisor treated me and my partner to lunch one day. We opted for the buffet. I'm not dainty, I can eat. And that day, I definitely tapped into my second stomach. (Like a cow) Included with the price of the buffet was: a fountain drink; chips and salsa (spicy, fire roasted and full of flavor); and hand pressed tortillas- a homemade touch that I wasn't expecting and gushed about throughout the meal. The offerings included several meat dishes that looked like they had been slow-cooked for some time. The soup of the day was pozole with all the fixings. There was a cold section where the salad bar and fruits were, along with two ceviche options: jaiva and fish. I tried a bit of both, but I liked the imitation crab better. The fish texture was chewier than I was hoping for. I mostly filled up on the cheese enchiladas, which were unique in their own right. Instead of the melty interior that I am used to, these were essentially rolled logs of cheese. Our server was attentive and warm, the parking lot was plentiful, and the food exceeded my expectations. The ambience was nothing to write home about. The place was dimly lit, tables and chairs crammed together, yet only partially occupied. The music sounded like it was coming from a scratched CD whose volume forced us to have a slightly louder than necessary conversation, but I was still charmed. I adore the quirks of hole in the wall establishments, not to mention Mexican buffets are something of a novelty for me. read more

My family and I decided to come eat here after the funeral services of my older sister. I've been here before and have tried a few menu items and they were pretty good . Today I ordered a Piña Colada and a Cielo , Mar , Y Tierra Fajitas . The Piña Colada was good, (didn't look like the picture but still good) . The Fajitas were not good at all , they only LOOK good. There was no seasoning on anything, I added lime, salt , and even orange. I must say the beans and rice were good though. To top it all off, food took forever and the service was horrible . The servers attending us were very rude and slow. Definitely would not recommend if you want a good place to eat . read more

My boys were staying at a local hotel with their college baseball team. It was Friday during lent, seafood restaurant was needed. We weren't in the mood for Asian food and looking for a place with beer. Mariscos was the closest place, jackpot!! It was Friday and the band was playing. The food was fantastic and flavorful, very reasonable. The servers were doing the best they could but I think they are short staffed. The music is very LOUD. Definitely would come back if this place was closer, it would be my go to Mexican restaurant . I would come back when the music wasn't playing as it is difficult to have a conversation . Highly recommend this place! read more

I've given this place too many chances because it used to have such refreshing and delicious mariscos. Honestly, I don't recommend this place unless you're very very hungry and just have nowhere else you'd like to go. Whoever is in charge of buying their ingredients seems to not care about the quality and just want to buy subpar ingredients from what they used to serve as well as compared to other mariscos places. It makes for very disappointing food. Furthermore, its so consistently loud sometimes that I think it effects the quality of service from the servers (who are usually nice to my family and I by the way). read more

I had a restaurant.com coupon for $25 and we had to spend $37.50... this is the only reason we came. The environment is loud as there was a mariachi band playing. I could barely hear my cousin sitting right across me. As soon as we sat down, we were given Chips and Salsa. This was probably the best thing I ate there. Camarones Con Carne (Shrimp and Steak): Steak and Shrimp cooked in a tomato and onion sauce. My cousin kept complaining how the entire dish was basically all ketchup. Pulpo y Camarones Al Mojo de Ajo (Octopus and Shrimp cooked in Garlic Oil Sauce): Small pieces of octopus and shrimp drench in oil. This was pretty disgusting. I got stomach ache from this. Flan: Decent. It came with chocolate syrup which is not traditional. Overall, not worth the price nor the trip unless you want a stomach ache. read more

I drove past this restaurant many times. I decided to make a pit stop and tried the food. The menu was awkward, photos of the dishes didn't have prices next to it. You have to go to the back of the menu for prices. I ordered a mix ceviche and seafood molcajete. The food was pretty good. Complimentary chips and salsa were also good. I will come back and try other dishes. Parking was plentiful on the streets and live band which was very loud. read more

Love the food and micheladas good service I like the taco's gobernadores and the tostada mixta

Este es nuestro lugar favorito para los mariscos y normalmente el servicio es bueno.

This review is for Mariscos San Ysidro in La Puente. I've gone few times during quarantine and it is one of the few places that still has live music (Mexican group) I've visited on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and Sunday is by far the funnest day. Food is just okay, not the worst not the best could use some improvement. The service is a hit or miss, some waitresses are very fast and others don't check on you at all. So when ever u do see the waitress just ask her for everything u need at once. I will return mostly for the ambience, lively crowd and live music. read more
