Food: They have a large selection of seafood. The drinks were good as well. All their shrimp plates were delicious. The shrimp tacos are a must!. The fish plates on the other hand were underwhelming in flavor and over cooked. Service: Service was kind and friendly! The food was out super fast. Ambience: The inside was nice, it was clean and they had live music + streaming the game. The parking is a small nightmare I would recommend parking on the street if you have a bigger car. Overall the restaurant itself was great. I would definitely recommend. read more

This spot is a family fave! We have been coming here for years and it is always delicious. There is an abundance of seating, so this is great for big groups. The service is always very friendly and quick. Try the "agua mineral preparada" for a refreshing mocktail! read more

Mariscos San Juan 2 - Seafood Near Me - San Jose, California

I have always like the tacos de camarón (love them) from this place, I will give them a 9/10 on the food. I don't really like it that they seat me by the speaker and a lady was singing so loud that I was very upset. I move out to another table away from the speaker but the singing was super loud. I don't like that. I think music and good ambiance is great and super but please, don't let it be so loud. I'm not at the club, they should measure the difference. It was only 3pm. I am giving this restaurant today 4 stars just because of the food and a guy that sign a romantic song. This men was singing very smooth and this change the ambiance, he was a client and he was super. read more

Came on a Saturday night for a quick dinner and it was worth coming! Firstly, Pros are that the shrimp tacos are simple but addicting ( in a good way. ) The tacos were yummy and I gave it a 9/10. Next was the octopus tostada. It was good but the octopus was over cooked. Besides that the tostada was good. 7/10. Overall the food was great. Next was the service, which was good for the most part. Servers were friendly, only thing was they didn't check up after serving the food. Ambiance was that the location was on a busy street, which made it a good location and it was clean. Nothing was dirty and yeah. If you do go, I highly recommend the Shrimp tacos and their Horchata. read more

Las mejores tostadas mixtas de San Jose. Las recomiendo.el servicio amable mi mesera excelente.ambiente agradable y muy familiar.

I love a good mixture of ceviche and one of my girlfriends recommended this place. San Juan is known for their seafood dishes so my husband and I decided to pay a visit. Everything on the menu is seafood based -- ranging from Shrimp Tacos to Whole Fish plates, and even oysters! I ordered the mixed seafood ceviche which had some crab, octopus, and whole shrimp. It was perfectly seasoned with the right amount of tomatoes and avocado. My husband ordered the whole fish plate (there are two different fishes to choose from) which came with some salad, rice, and tortillas. The fish was extra crispy on the outside and was rich in flavor in the inside. We both agreed our plates were really worth noting for freshness and taste. There's a jukebox for music in which patrons can select their favorite jams. Our server was attentive and very polite. I'm only deducting one star from this review because the corridor walking up to the front door is very filthy and smells horrible (maybe sewage problem?). Aside from that, it's definitely worth checking out if you want a hearty Mexican inspired seafood dish. read more

Good afternoon. We came to Marisco's. We haven't been here i years. And we have good memories here. We sit down and the waitress comes and we order. Well I pointed to a picture Becuz I wanted tilapia. But when it came I had a head on it and it was looking at me. WHA. WHAT?!?! The waitress asked me if everything was ok. The guy came and cut the head and tail off. But still. Not ok. I must have had a look on my face. Of shock and yuck. She asked if I wanted to change. So they did. Without a problem. I hate drama. But it had bones and it was going to be a problem. She gave me a filet tilapia and it was great. I can't tell you how much that means for them to care how you enjoy your food. Miriam was so sweet and kind. I will come back. We love shrimp. Yes. Have a great day! read more

Mariscos San Juan 2!! Ive been coming to this location for over 10 years. The building is a but outdated, yet it has a family environment and delicious seafood! To drink I ordered the Agua de Jamaica (one of my favorites) refreshing for this heatwave! I ordered a Small plato mixto , Crispy Shrimp tacos and a Campechana (octopus,shrimp,oysters) the flavors are like no other. The service is quick, the waitress was super nice and served us promptly. The food is freshly made, the seafood has to be one of my personal favorites in San Jose! read more

Have always loved this spot! Their shrimp tacos are a forever favorite. Love the shrimp with my beer too, nice touch. Recently had their pulpo botanas, OMG this is octopus!?! So delicious. I got it picante yum! FYI "Picante" meaning spicy was way too spicy for my boyfriend, but PERFECTION for me. And i got to eat more myself hehehe. So be careful if you don't have a high tolerance. A bit pricey but it's 100% shrimp and octopus and worth it, just share the deliciousness with a friend. It won't disappoint. read more

I been here a handful of times and have always been happy with the food and service. But today was a different story. So I called to place an order a plate of ceviche with camarón and specifically asked not to add octopus because this plate does come with it. Well I go pick up my order and I don't think to check my order, I mean why would I if I've never had a problem in the past. I get home served my order in my own plate I start mixing it adding my sauce, I see big chunks of octopus! I got grossed out and called right away. The same lady answered and said to me just to take it back. What upset me the most was that she didn't even bother asking if I wanted something else or make me a new one without the octopus. But no! She said bring it back. So I did,and got my money back no sorry no nothing! Sorry but they lost a customer here ! read more

ii just want to share a message from Mariscos San Juan i got trhu yelp, they took my previous review away ,, i will paste it : 8/13/2018, 2:40 PM Sergio B. Sergio B. If you have a personal problem with my corporation I suggest you handle it the proper way and speak to management but it seems like your trash talk is necessary then speak directly to the owner. We don't need your small money. Deal with the "I don't know why I come here", simply don't come back and if you do, see management and i'll gladly serve you.. - Mariscos San Juan read more

So I was asked where do you want to go where we can have seafood and I thought to myself...mmmmmmmm?? "Well, there is this one place where i was taken too and it was pretty good"... His response was "Let's go and make new memories" Hell YEAH!! Let me tell you that the food was the BOMB that day but seriously in all reality the food is really good here... where do I start?? Luckily we shared our dishes (except for our drinks..lol) so this is what we ordered.. TWO micheladas because they are just too good, Tacos de camaron, campechana cocktail, oysters on a half shell and ceviche.. We left that place SATISfied Oh and did I mention there is a person who sales homemade Helado outside the restaurant.. OMG!! Whats my favorite flavor you ask?? Guess!! "tequila" ^_^" read more

For what you pay here the food could be better. The server tried to sneak in a couple extra $ on my tab at the end (she asked her coworker for the prices of each item and she replied with higher prices than advertised) and corrected it when I called out that the menu showed different prices. I'll most likely try other seafood spots in the area. read more

This is last time I come here, the waitress gave terrible service. They give you your food, stand in the front, talk to each other the entire time, and don't check up on you if you need anything else or to order more. How do they expect to get tips if their service is not earned? read more

I used to go to this place because it was really good and they had great customer service. I told my husband about this place of how good it was and he decided to give it a try. His words when we left were, "that place disappointed me". It's rare when the parking gets full since it's a small parking lot. The outside looks beat up and like a place you wouldn't want to be on your own. The inside has a lot of tables, but the many times I have gone, I have never seen it packed. The chairs and table need to be changed out completely because of how outdated they are. The waitress that helped us had an attitude. Once the food came out, she didn't bother to come back and ask if everything ok. When we were done, we had to go up to pay because she wouldn't bring the check. The food wasn't good at all. My son got fish and chips, it was dry and only 1 piece of fish. The rice on another plate was dry with no flavor. The coctel de camaron was ok. The horchata tasted old. read more

Just like at their 4th street location, the shrimp tacos are what I usually get. At $5 per plate of four, these deep-fried corn tortilla tacos are filled with meaty shrimp and served with fresh avocado slices (on the side). I like to eat those also with the complimentary tostadas and lime. I recently had the Coctel de Camaron y Pulpo which was very refreshing. Again the shrimp were huge and the octopus was meaty. Taste was not too sweet and tangy, and not too fishy. I'd say it was perfecto and muy fresco with crackers and tostadas. Service is always quick and with a smile! read more

The bf and I finally got to try Mariscos for lunch the other day. After hearing so much from my co-workers and Yelpers, we had to give it a try!! We grabbed a table and the waitress came by with menus and a basket of tostadas with lime. I was immediately happy because there were 5-6 bottles of different hot sauces already on the table waiting for me to try them all out. I LOVE CONDIMENTS! Per reviews and recommendations, we stuck to ordering the tostadas. I got the Ceviche Tostada ($2) and Camarones Tostada ($5). The bf got the Ceviche Tostada ($2) and Pulpo Tostada ($5). What a deal!!! I was tempted to order a beer since I was eyeing my neighbor's gi-normous Corona that was just delivered to him with two shrimps sticking out of the top. Huh---I've never seen that before. But since I'm trying to cut back, I decided a Sprite was the next best thing for a warm day. Our plates came out quickly and my eyes almost fell out of my head---it was HUGE!!! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Z6CDhQZVNE3FG5Wpnpi_Kg?select=N3yhyVxBlX6sM9s6PH1fjg http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Z6CDhQZVNE3FG5Wpnpi_Kg?select=WLyr4lqUT9Kpwf5zeWjq6A Each tostada was piled HIGH with tons of seafood and toppings. They seriously don't skimp at this place! The Ceviche Tostada was pretty good. A seafood mixture heavily mixed with lime juices and cilantro--all generously topped with avocado. The flavor was a bit light for me and I would have preferred some chopped fresh jalapenos with the mixture but the flavor was kicked up when I tried out some of the different hot sauces from the table. I actually ended up preferring the Camarones Tostada better. You still get a layer of the Ceviche but it's then topped high with a mound of shrimp as opposed to the avocado. The shrimp had a nice sweet flavor. The bf's octopus was pretty tasty too--not at all chewy or tough. I think if we're in the neighborhood on a warm summer day, we'd stop back. The price is ridiculously cheap and you definitely get your seafood bang for your buck! read more

Ok so, yesterday, my boyfriend and I tried to go to the Rock'N'Rumble Festival in Kelley Park to visit one of my friends who was working a stand there. Unfortunately, we arrived just as S.W.A.T. arrived and closed down the park because of some odd motorcycle gang violence. We decided to pick a restaurant close-by for lunch and wait to see if the festival reopened... enter Mariscos San Juan 2. Now, I love Mexican food and this place is about as authentic as you can get. The menu is in Spanish so unless you have a pretty good understanding of Mexican food or the language, well, you'll be pointing at your neighboring tables plates. I ordered Camarones ala Diabla (10$) and my bf ordered a whole fried fish (10$). The shrimp were quite spicy and served with a mushy rice and small salad. They were good but not great. My boyfriends fried fish was realllly fried... to a crisp. Apparently the point to this is to be able to pull the meat off the bone and eat it like you would pork rinds. No, I'm not kidding. It was decent to taste but the idea of all that deep fried grease was weird. I also ordered a tostada de ceviche and it... was really good. Funny that it's the item I liked best and it was only 2$. The restaurant was PACKED and it was a much bigger restaurant than it appears from the street. To my knowledge, there was only seafood (as the name suggests) on the menu, no burritos or comida tipico. I probably wouldn't go back but I also understand that that doesn't mean it wasn't good, it just wasn't my thing. read more

My coworker brought me to this place and now I know where to satisfy my ceviche cravings! I usually get the tostada mixta (I think that's how it's spelled) which is one taco shell stacked with tons of ceviche, avocado, shrimp, and octopus. You can also get it with just avocado, just shrimp, or just octopus but mixta is all three. It looks small in the picture but one was really filling since they give you so much food. They give you free taco shells too so you can make multiple with your order. And there's a bunch of different hot sauces on the table that you can try! Also tried the oysters here which is very decently priced. You can get half a dozen for only $5.50 and a dozen for maybe $10 or $11? Kind of a hit or miss though depending if you get the fresher ones or not. They were also kind of warm but for less than $1 each, can't really complain! Service was very friendly. read more

Fried shrimp tacos were the best thing on the menu. Hygiene could be better. The door had a sign asking customers to please wear a mask, but the man tending the register wasn't wearing one. And he was also drinking a Bud Light... After browsing the menu, I handed it back to him and he put it back on the stack. I didn't see anyone clean it. While waiting for my order, I did see a woman come out from the back (she was wearing a mask) and started cleaning some areas. But the menus remained untouched. read more

This is my favorite place to get shrimp tacos and their aguachile is super spicy so I love it. The tostadas they put on your table have the best taste I've ever had. I enjoy ordering the mixed plate to make my own tostadas. Fast service. Some of my friends recommend their shrimp cocktail, but I wouldn't know because I've never ordered it. (My mom's looks way better, so I've never ordered it just to avoid disappointment) Here's the cons: I'll sadly admit there's a couple people I've taken that don't really care for the shrimp tacos. After many years of coming here I finally ordered a michelada and it tasted horrible. I drank it because I had paid for it but my friend couldn't even get halfway. It had a very fishy taste. And although I like that they supply you with pretty much everything you need at the table, their waiter service is pretty much over the moment they bring you your food. Overall, I just come for my shrimp taco fix every couple weeks and nothing else. read more

I'll go here for shrimp tacos. Great tacos and the aguas frescas. Try it youll not be regret

I came here on Sunday for the second time and I came back knowing exactly what I was going to order.... SHRIMP TACOS!!! I wasnt very hungry the first time that I came, so in looking at the menu I saw that the tacos or the tostada de Ceviche would be the smallest items in the menu. I went for the tacos after the recommendation of the waitress and I must say what a steller reccomendation. The tacos are so good. So even though my review is on the tacos alone...every person that I have come here with has ordered different things and they have all been satisfied with their meal. Ive tasted what they have ordered and everything was good. Parking is better in this location but it can be a bit of a hassle regardless. Keep that in mind when coming in terms of the hours. Service both times that I have come have been excellent. No attitude from the waitresses. There is ample seating, the place is bigger than what it looks. Im hooked on the tacos!!! Will come back for some more. read more

Place is pretty big and service is quick. Here's what we had: 1/2 dozen oysters $6 Small Ceviche mixto $7 Small Tamarindo There's plenty of tv's all around and there's a jukebox that's pretty much like iTunes. Oysters aren't that bad. They remind me of the oysters you can buy in bulk at pacific supermarket. Although the ceviche had nice beautiful sized shrimps and chunks of octopus it lacked flavor. I used all my limes, had to use salt (I do not like adding table salt especially more than needed) to bring out the flavor, and hot sauce cause I love that kick. I love seafood, but I was not impressed. The tamarindo was watered down, I prefer it to be more sour. I love the tamarindo at Los Panchos in San Francisco. read more

Sea food delight... The sea food is soooo good here and they serve good portions Large menu to pick from and decent pricing Located by happy hollow park and zoo the parking is behind the building so just drive around. The customer service is meh. They greet you sit you take your order bring your food and check in once, maybe twice you have to flag them down but once you do they are very quick to meet your request You have to pay up front at the register after you are done with your meal The usually have soccer playing on their Tvs or music selected by the customers on a coin operated music player, really mexican music usually, sometimes obnoxious, but the food is GREAT there so ill deal with the music It's not a fancy looking place, simple chairs and simple tables, but yummy yummy shrimp cocktails! read more
