My husband and I were craving Mexican style seafood and decided to stop by Mariscos San Juan for some take out to share with my parents. It was a weekend afternoon, and the store still had plenty of customers.  We ordered their extra large ceviche (with shrimp and octopus); large super cocktail (with shrimp, octopus, and oyster); and large aguachile green. All of the seafood was fresh and didn't have a fishy taste to it. The ceviche and aguachile had some avocado in them, but not too much that it was a filler for the actual seafood. We were given a lot of tostadas and salditas (saltine crackers) with our order. The portions looked small, but were actually reasonable for the price. We even had some leftovers for the next day! They have a small (maybe 1-2 spots?) parking area in the back, but it was occupied by a truck when we went. We ended up just street parking about 2 blocks away in the residential area. read more

I can tell the food was made with care and delivered with love. They packaged it picture perfect. They included lime salsa crackers extra tostadas napkins a fork & had the shrimp nicely placed in the to go box. It was the perfect portion I feel very content. read more

My friend who lives near by thought we should have lunch at Mariscos San Juan. She and her family eat there often, but it was my first time. Each table had jars of hot sauce, saltine crackers, napkins, fried tortillas & limes cut in half. I'm sorry, but I don't want to eat tortillas that are out for who knows how long with how many people touching them. That's just not sanitary. Speaking of not sanitary, the plastic coated menus were covered with bits of food. Yuck. Okay, maybe my menu was the only one that was dirty, but I doubt it. My friend had the Copa Campechana, which is a big goblet filled with shrimp, octopus, avocado, & cilantro in a cold tomato soupy mixture. I had the Camarones al mojo de ajo, which was a plate with sauteed shrimp, tomato rice, and a salad of iceberg, tomato, & avocado. My shrimp were garlicky and buttery, but they were also over cooked and rubbery. There only seemed to be one waitress, and the six tables of customers seemed to be too much for her. She didn't appear frazzled or anything, but we waited a long time to get any help. She also charged us $10 too much, but she did make the adjustment without any hassle. Maybe Mariscos San Juan is a good neighborhood spot, but not one that I would like to visit again, sorry. read more

Best fish tacos around! Cheap and good food plus they always have the soccer games on. The servers are very friendly and attentive. Check them out. read more

Aguachiles is amazing here. I love the dish with the red salsa instead of traditional green. That's literally the only thing I ever get and it's been solid every time. read more

This ceviche is legendary. It's been way too long since I've eaten here. Best seafood I've ever had.

When Mariscos San Juan comes to mind I think of one word..... BOMBA!!! BOMB in English translation..... The food explodes with flavor. I ordered the Camarones Rancheros and my bff ordered the Camarones A La Diablas and two Ceviche tostadas. The Ceviche tostadas were not the best I had ever had but they were 2 bucks each so I was actually surprised how generous they were with that price. It was very fresh and loaded with avocado so I give this 5 stars. The Camarones Rancheros was overflowing with succulent shrimp marinated and sauteed in serrano peppers and tomatoes and onions. I like spicy but not too spicy and it was perfect!! I ate every pepper and shrimp..... My bff ordered the Camarones A La Diabla and it was CHINGON! Bad Ass. Enough said. The service was nice and quick! The ambiance is much like a little hole in the wall but don't judge a book by it's cover until you've tried their Micheladas! (like a Mexican version of a Bloody Mary prepared with a cerveza of your choice) I love this little Mexican hole in the wall. One thing for sure is they are generous in their portions. So come prepared with an empty stomach and hunger pains because you won't leave hungry. We had to go for a walk after to walk it off.... The major highlight of our dining experience was that they serve their coronas with lime, salt, a cocktail shrimp, and a dash of Tapatio! Now, no other Mexican hole in the wall can top that! Check this place out!!!! read more

I love their shrimp tacos and as Asian as it might sound, but it tastes like an egg roll! Their tostada de camaron (shrimp tostada) was on point! The shrimps were huge and tasted so fresh and juicy. The only reason why I subtracted one star is because they didn't have rice and beans... Although they ONLY serve seafood, most Mexican restaurants that I've been to that also just serve seafood usually have rice and beans. Also, the lady who was working at the register as well as the waiter didn't seem to be very welcoming. She was on the phone chopping it up and just told us to seat ourself and didn't even come to drop off the menu till she was done having her conversation. We sat there for like 5-10 minutes just waiting on menus. read more

Not bad, the decor needs a little update, but the food is pretty solid. The prices are good, and I enjoyed the tacos. The food is truly authentic, and flavorful. When I have a longer lunch, I will try this place again read more

Great divey place with awesome shrimp tacos and horchata!! No frills here, just good food and friendly service. Knocked one star off for the very loud and distracting TV and the fact that they only had beer. No other fun adult drinks. read more

In waiting for a mtg, we ended up here.. Fast service and cheap food! I love the sign that says in Spanish This is is a family establishment, no yelling or inappropriate stuff. There were all kinds of folks there... mainly guys who had just gotten off work and were relaxing with some beers and (duh) seafood.. Yes.. they only serve seafood.. I know it sounds dumb but some folks assume/ don't know what mariscos are... Anyways I got the ceviche (2.00) since I wasn't that hungry... it was delicious! The plus one got the fried fillet meal (11.00) that came with salad and rice The rice was pretty amazing.. I could have had a side of that and been totally happy. The cocktails also looked delicious.. they take credit cards which is good... cash is preferred I need to go back!! read more

This is a great spot to enjoy some seafood. The tostada de ceviche is made with fish and they add the traditional tomatoes, onions and cilantro. They give a great portion for only $2.50. We also tried the mixta tostada that has octopus, ceviche and shrimp on top. I will definitely keep coming because the service was great and very attentive. Even though the tables were all taken, the waitresses worked fast and always smiling ready to help. Come here for some seafood and a couple beers all for a good price. The plates that people around me were ordering looked very good too so I am going to have to try one of those in a future visit. read more

Seafood and beer! Can it get much better than that? This place must be one of the best seafood restaurants in the South Bay. My group and I ordered the $16 mixto platter to split. The mixto platter was amazing and featured an assortment of seafood marinating in lime juice, tomatoes, and cilantro. You can basically build your own tostada since they serve large tostada shells instead of tortilla chips, as is typical at most Mexican restaurants. All of the seafood in the mixto was really fresh; no hint of fishiness at all. The flavors are super bright and vibrant; it's really a refreshing dish. I also ordered the camarones rancheros, which was equally amazing. The shrimp have a nice kick to it since its cooked with peppers. The shrimp was very tender, and like the mixto, was very fresh. For non-Spanish speakers, it may be a little intimidating at first. At first the servers actually were a little surprised that we didn't speak Spanish fluently. Nonetheless, they were very friendly and very helpful. read more

Mariscos San Juan - Disgusting isn't even close. - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

$2 ceviche tostadas! I don't think I need to say much else; that's worth the trip already. A hole in the wall along Willow Street, but bursting with flavors of f fresh seafood, lime, avocados, and tasty baked tostadas! They don't skimp on stacking that tostada with chopped ceviche, salsa, and generous slices of avocados. For a good two-for-one, get the shrimp tostada for $5 - it's twice as large as the ceviche dish, with a grip of shrimp piled on top of ceviche. They also serve shrimp cocktails and breaded fish and rice plates, although a bit pricier. The best bang for your buck - go for the tostadas! read more

*3.5 stars Although I live about a mile away from here, I found out how good and inexpensive this place is on Yelp. Thank you, fellow Yelpers! This is a surprisingly tasty hole-in-the-wall restaurant close to my home. The $2 ceviche tostadas was the perfect choice for a warm afternoon in San Jose. Chopped up ceviche on crispy tostadas and topped with generous slices of avocado. Refreshing, good, and cheap! We also ordered the $5 ceviche tostadas toppled with huge pieces of shrimp. Squeeze a little bit of lime and this simple dish is just full of flavor. And the variety of hot sauces on the table gives you the extra kick you need! Instead of chips and salsa, you get tostada shells and lime halves. I prefer the former. You may feel a little uncomfortable here if you don't speak Spanish, but the menu has pictures of the majority of their dishes and there is a waitress here who speaks English (she helped us). I have to admit, the prices of their other entrees didn't look as appealing as the $2/$5 tostadas, but the pictures looked delicious! I'll have to come back to give their other items a try. read more

omg. fresh Mexican seafood dishes = mariscos San Juan that's the bottom line. i ordered a ceviche tostada and a shrimp one as well.. delicious.. $2 for the ceviche and $4 for the fully loaded shrimp one. they also sell a variety of shrimp cocktails.. every size.. and i was so tempted to order one of those too.. service was nice.. at each table they had 5 different kinds of hot sauce.. this was definitely worth the drive and it was perfect for a warm sunny day. extremely refreshing! read more

For those who do not like seafood, don't know how to read the sign out front saying this is a SEAFOOD spot ( hint "Mariscos" = "Seafood"), don't be disappointed. You just need to freshen up on your Spanish. The epitome of a "hole in the wall" spot. +1 star Seafood cocktails hit the spot every time +1 star The Cheladas go great with any item on their menu +.5 star The shrimp they put as a beer topper is a great touch +.5 star Parking.....nonexistent but I won't ding this place for that. Tacos & Ceviche +2 stars For those looking for a burrito, or think this place is your run of the mill Mexican fast food spot need to read the sign out front before walking in. 5 star spot if you like Seafood.....1 star spot if you can't read and want beef. read more

*****5 stars for me homeboi! Ok lets face it, this location is a little blue hole in the wall that is probably the most unattractive thing unless you like the smurfs cartoons. However, they serve the best shrimp cocktails and shrimp dishes, including shrimp tostadas, in all the Silicon Valley. If you drink, make sure to ask for a brown bottle Corona(believe me, you will want another). Perfect location for a lunch before music in the park or any other sunny day. read more

Oh so good but oh so expensive.. I've never spent $24 by myself for lunch before.. There's always a first I guess but it's definitely worth it if I can get the tostado with tons of shrimp on it. There fish plate was also good. The fish was seasoned really well. The only thing I wish was better was the thickness of the fish. I had to struggle to cut it. It was like I was trying to catch the fish all over again. This place is small REALLLY small but it's not crowded. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Mariscos San Juan - Shrimp tostada. Oh so good - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Best SHRIMP TACOS out side of Mexico in my humble opinion. Riquisimo. Also best aguachile and campechana in northern california hands down. VERY authentic and great for when you are missing home (in mexico that is). I can't wait to go back! Los mejores tacos de camarón afuera de Mexico en mi opinion :P riquisimos. Tambien me encanto el aguachile... y con una chelita decoradita con un camaroncito este restaurante es el lugar perfecto para pasarla muy chido especialmente cuando uno esta extrañado mexico! Voy a regresar muy pronto. read more

Fire shrimp cocktail!!! Best in san jose been going here since i was a kid. Parking is bad though

Good not great. Tostada de ceviche 2.00 good. Tacos dorados de camarón 6.00 not too good. Cerveza preparada (aka Michelada) 4.00 not bad. Camarones rancheros 10.00 that my buddy had looked alright. It was pretty small and had a funny smell. No espn en ingles - dish latino, so I missed the football (NFL) high lights. Not impressive but the food was decent and reasonably priced. read more

Great food! Totally original Mexican taste and good place for family. The service could be a little bit better tho

"Una Michelada, por favor." This hole in the wall find is great for fresh seafood. During my last visit I ordered a small dish of oysters and when the waitress brought them out she said that she plated 8 of them since they were small. Most xclnt! I love the shrimp tacos, but my new favorite is the huachinaga (fried whole fish). My first encounter with this dish was in Baja and I'm so happy that I can find a a delicious version in San Ho! Yes, the English is spotty at times depending on the help, but don't be afraid. You just might end up loving this place like I do. read more

My husband and I were driving around in Morgan Hill and looked for a Mexican Seafood Restaurant, none to be found. I yelped and found Mariscos San Juan, not too far from where we were. When we arrived, it is definitly a hole in the wall place. Small, kind of clean...They gave us the menu and they had shirmp tacos for 3 for $5 (what a deal), oh and big campechanas for $10!!! Tacos came out, and boy they were so yummy. Deep fried, shrimped filled tacos, with a spicy sauce on the side, yummy!!! I thin our bill was less than $30 for two orders of tacos, shirmp cocktail and coronas...what a deal. read more

There is something to be said for a place that brings out a bucket of beer with shrimp, salt, lime and Tapatio on the top of the draaank. One word. AWESOMENESS!!! This little hole in the wall is a delicious place to get your "Marisco's" (Spanish for "Seafood") On!!! Try the "coctel de camaron" and DO try the Tacos de camaron (Shrimp Tacos). Feeling a little hungover? This place will bring you back to life!! Guaranteed!! Mmmm...buckets of beer with shrimp on top... read more

Shrimp cocktail & drinks are the bomb diggity. Watch some futbol on TV while you eat and try out like 10 types of hot sauce. Just avoid the oysters, though. They didn't seem very fresh... I'll be back. Thanks for letting me practice my terrible Spanish. :) read more

4.5 stars This place is DEFINITELY worth checking out. To clarify for others, you do sit down -- but it's not "sit down" fancy if you know what I mean. I got shrimp tostados and Chris got some sort of fried fish dish with rice. The shrimp were super plentiful and tasty -- though at the end I got a third tostado to split with Chris that was just pescado, and I think it had a better fish-acid-creaminess(avocado) balance. The shrimp were fantastic but it's hard to really get the acid right when they're so big and piled high (not that I'm complaining!) The only negative was that while they could not put cilantro on top of the shrimp, there's already cilantro mixed into the fish mix that they sit on top of. Chris' fish was tasty and he said the rice was really tasty. Overall, the price is totally right and it's packed full of people -- a definite find! read more

I thought from all the reviews I would find this a haven for great Mexican seafood. I ordered the six oysters. She walked into the kitchen and came out with them less than two minutes later. Not a good sign unless the oysters grow on the half shell. They were gray and room temp. They did not taste right and I braved two of them. Red flag #1 Then, about a minute later the shrimp ceviche came out and it too, was room temp. The shrimp were a bit too fishy tasting which scares the heck out of me. The tostadas were cheap store bought. When I went to go pay the bill at the door, the temperature coming out of their prep area was about 80 degrees. Not what you want when you are preparing seafood. Too bad. I really was looking forward to enjoying it. read more

I've been to plenty mariscos spots (mainly in L.A.) and I must say that I've had better. The food was OK nothing really special about it. There was live music out of this one single guy. He most definitely was holding it down for the people's. Restroom was a mess. It was a plain mariscos. I did enjoy their tacos though. There coctel extra Large was OK. read more
