Stay away from this place! It's horrible and don't know how they could get any positive reviews based off the service we had. Family of 5, went for dinner at 6 PM and each got various entrees with shrimp. Waited almost 90 minutes for our food on a slow night in late July and service was horrible. After questioning the server why it was taking so long, he then delivered chips and salsa to pacify us. Couple minutes later our food was delivered but only two orders were correct! Missed items and cold servings but the kicker...we were told we had to pay by 8 PM as credit cards are not accepted after 8! Once we left the restaurant three of us got sick off what we felt was the strange tasting shrimp in an area known for fresh shrimp. We will not be returning and trying to understand how this place gets such good reviews. Stay away! read more

This place is BEAUTIFUL! Positioned conveniently off the ocean with an open patio for a spectacular view. Of course we focused on the seafood which was THE BEST! We had fish tacos both grilled and battered, shrimp tacos, and ceviche! All super fresh all super tasty and worth it! I could imagine this place getting pretty busy later in the day. We came at noon and beat the rush. Another plus is this is a pet friendly location. We just drove in and had our pups which they enjoyed with us too. OUR WAITER SAUL WAS SUPER INFORMATIVE!! Better call Saul he will recommend everything you need lol Only downfall is parking. Be prepared to walk or come earlier in the day for parking perks read more

Mary's Seafood - Fish tacos and ceviche. Yum! - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

Best fried oysters in Puerto Peñasco! They get them fresh locally and prepare them onsite, not processed or frozen. I have eaten at Mary's Seafood many times, it's become my favorite fish market/Malecon restaurant. I always order the fried oysters because they're just so good. They use panko breading, which makes crispy and tender little bite sized morsels that are great on their own or with squeezed fresh lime. Yesterday we were there and they'd just received a fresh batch of oysters. The Cadillac margaritas and quesadillas are great too. It's right on the water, they have seating on the ground floor as well as an upstairs patio area, and the staff always provide good service. Yesterday we had Saul as our server and he did a fine job. Mary's is also accessible for people who can't do stairs; I was on crutches and they had a nice wheelchair accessible ramp leading up to the entryway. Thank you, Mary's! We'll keep coming back. read more

Everyone on this block is hustling to get you into their restaurant, but I picked Mary's when it seemed to perfectly align with the sun just before it set. It was a sign! Of all places I dined during my birthday in Mexico, this was the fastest. And a great value for some of the best seafood tacos I've had in quite some time. The tacos gobernador, with shrimp, melted cheese (Oaxaca?), and avocado are exactly the sort of dish to instantly settle the debate as to whether US Mexican restaurants can hang with Mexico. They can't--these are better than anything I've had in Arizona. If you want something less rich, I can vouch for the cocktail shrimp as well. Best enjoyed with one of their generous cocktails or a light lager, while chilling in the sea breeze. read more

Mary's Seafood - Tacos gobernador (shrimp and cheese). These were excellent - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

The service was awful. It took so long for them to even bring our drinks, and the table that got there after us got their drinks and food first before us. The chips and salsa was meh, the salsa was not good considered it only tasted like salted favored onions. Our food took over an hour to come out, kids meals were messed up... some got chicken nuggets and some got chicken strips when they all ordered the same thing. Our food was ok, we got the two person shrimp platter. The quantity was good, the garlic shrimp was literally grilled shrimp with scoops of cold bottled minced garlic on top. It was disappointing. The fish were ok. Over all, it really was disappointing. If the good reviews were given to the view and sunset, the entire street of restaurants on that side are backing to the ocean sunset view. read more

Mary's Seafood - 2 person shrimp platter - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

We had a lovely lunch at Mary's Seafood Restaurant last week. The combo fish platter for 2 was MORE than enough. I think 4 adults would find that platter to be a substantial meal. The small ceviche was enough for 2 people also. I added hot sauce to the ceviche and I wish the seafood in the platter would have been seasoned a little more before cooking. The margaritas were fresh and large. I had a Cadillac Margarita and my husband had a mango margarita. Finally, the service was GREAT! Our waiter was very attentive and I found the other staff to be engaging and helpful. All in all it was tasty meal and I would definitely eat there again. read more

Very nice waiter & service. However food was not great. The chips were really gross. Pretty much the cheapest chips you can buy at Walmart. The tacos were just really bland and so was the shrimp cocktail. No seasoning. Margaritas were fine & a good size. If you go just get a drink & skip the food. read more

We just arrived in Puerto Penasco today and after checking into our condo in Las Conchas, we headed to the Malecon to eat. Mary's looked good but it was hella hot & humid and my dry-desert-dwelling, pale ass was looking for someplace with air conditioning. The guy was persistent in finding us a nice spot in front of a giant fan though, so we decided to eat here. I'm very glad we caved. The service was excellent and the food was very tasty. All four of us ordered something different and it was all flavorful and delicious. I got grilled shrimp tacos, my hub ordered ceviche tostada's, my son grilled shrimp and my daughter chicken quesadillas. Their salsa was delicious too, with just the right amount of bite. Bonus points for the beautiful view too! read more

Mary's Seafood - Dinner with a view. - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

INCREDIBLY disappointing. Day trip to Rocky Point with a colleague. We drove down to the Malecón and parked. Strolling up and down the street, Mary's appeared to be very pleasant. Mama always said not to judge a book by its cover. The seafood er, aroma, was not enticing. Tables were left uncleaned until guests came in to be seated. We knew instantly that we had made a mistake but soldiered on anyway. Our hopes for a great seafood lunch were immediately dashed by the olfactory assault and TOSTITOS. No Mexican restaurant in the US serves Tostitos as the chips but in Mexico? Are you KIDDING me? Where are the incredibly tasty totopos that are found everywhere else? We sniffed the salsa and took a pass. So although we had set our minds on seafood, we ended up ordering "fajitas" so as to avoid the likelihood of becoming ill on the four hour drive back. The meat was bland, and seemed like it had been microwaved or pre-prepared. Vegetables squishy and tortillas thin and greasy. Service was lackluster and when we went to pay, we were informed that the tip must be cash. Two stars ONLY because of the nice view (through very dirty windows). Best advice? Stay away! read more

Mary's Seafood - View from dining area - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

Francisco was a nice waiter. Avocados were great, shrimp in them were a little small for being in shrimp country. The breaded shrimp were bigger and pretty good. If I had to critique though, maybe a little tough. Oysters seemed like they had been shucked and left in the fridge while. You can do that for 30min, but not since 10 oclock in the morning or they get Dehydrated. Drinks were cold. Margarita was also pretty good. Right on the ocean. read more

Spectacular. Seafood was top notch, the fried fish was the show stopper. The service was the best we had in RP. Zero complaints about this downtown establishment. Its simply the best in the Malecon. read more

The food was good but.... If you go in a large group, like our group of 30, with a single payer, absolutely insist on an itemized receipt, or be a gatekeeper for ordering and track it yourself. Without an itemized receipt there's no way to reconcile what you're being charged and without...expect it to be outrageous. In all the chaos I'm sure I paid well over what we ordered and full Americano price. Also their credit card machine goes off-line at eight pm. We had an absolutely awesome visit with our group but this one meal and my oversight still leaves me with a sick feeling of being frauded. Needless to say I'm going to remove Mary's from our annual visit but I'm sure it's a common issue. Also expect to get hustled for a bad window washing and services to keep your car/Van "safe". I'm less concerned with this but good to be aware of. read more

Gabriel was the best!!!! He was so attentive and I e never once needed anything cause he was really on it! He was even attentive to my 2 year old that was requesting drinks lol we will definitely be back to see Gabriel read more

Food was amazing. Especially all seafood. I had Mary's tacos, seafood cocktail combo, ceviche on tostadas. Qu bueno

This was recommended by our friends that like the food here and they said the price is good. We decided to eat there for dinner with 14 others. The food took about an hour to get served, which is why the rating went down. Once the food got to us, it was delicious and well worth the price! The service was excellent and the server seemed overwhelmed but she remained helpful and kind throughout the entire time we were there. I would eat here again should we ever come back to Puerto Peñasco. read more

Came here after our original pick was closed for some reason on a Friday nite. Great spot. Fresh seafood, everything we ordered was tasty, service upstairs was great. Drinks also fresh and very food had margaritas highly recommend.Reasonable prices payed $85 for 4 people including drinks...for it being in the malecon and a tourist trap price was still good and the food well worth it. Volveremos! read more

Food was ok...not bad but just nondescript. Salsa and chips were really store-bought bland. Waiter was fine and I appreciated he gave us just the right amount of attention. They were out of my first 3 choices of beer but it WAS a Monday so maybe they had not restocked after the weekend. View, like several restaurants here, was nice...on the water. Probably won't be back as there are many more choices. read more

Incredible seafood!!!! Everything EA one of us got was absolutely delicious! So glad we went there, was a little cold in the eve but the margarita made up for it and I was a happy woman lol- definitely returning read more

Mary's Seafood - Chicken - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

The ambience is great. You can sit upstairs or downstairs and both offer a view of the ocean, which is beautiful. Chips and salsa are not good. Chips are like Tostitos or the chips you get with nachos at a concession stand and Salsa is bland and not what you would expect in Mexico. Ordered the scallop taco, shrimp quesadilla, battered shrimp, and fried whole fish. Scallop Taco - good, small scallops. Shrimp Quesadilla - best shrimp quesadilla ever! Lots of shrimp and flavor. Battered Shrimp - it was okay. Had some cinnamon flavor in the batter. Pedro's shrimp is better. Fried Whole Fish - it was sea bass yesterday. Really delicious and a great bang for the buck I believe it was $18 (give or take) and you get two whole fish. Every thing was very good and service was great. I prefer Pedro's though. Note that Pedro's doesn't have the view, which is a downside. read more

Ok, we weren't even going here to eat but the guy was persistent and wanted us in to go. The food wasn't that good. Took over an hour to get our food. This place was dead. I have no idea why it took that look. We were there an hour and half before we got served. The shrimp still had shells on it so it was all crunchy. At some point I couldn't tell if it was dirty or shell. Maybe both? Either way that's not normal. read more

I am giving Mary's 5 stars JUST BECAUSE of their scallop tacos! I went to Mary's multiple times during our trip because I couldn't get enough of their tacos. Everything is very reasonably priced there, in fact, pretty cheap and you can get full off tacos galore!!! I highly recommend the scallop tacos! They're so good, delicious tastes and they don't skimp on the scallops. The shrimp tacos are delicious as well, but nothing compares to the scallop tacos! I also had a Margarita which messed me up, didn't even feel the alcohol til it was too late! So delicious! Yes! The hardest part in Mexico is getting something delicious to drink! We all got freshly made limonade which was super refreshing! I was afraid of getting contaminated ice or something, but I didn't get sick at all. We also got some kind of seafood/ceviche thing!!! PACKED with seafood! read more

It looked great at first, if you want more authentic mexican food that will not make you vomit for the entirety of your vacation. Go to taco bell. The meat smelled/looked completely disgusting. This review would have been better if they served me a plate of the vomit that endured after eating at this disgusting run down joint. read more

We eat here a lot when in town. Patio upstairs has good views and the food and drinks are always on point. It is in the downtown area, so depending on the weekend can be a little crowded. Our kids enjoy coming here too. read more

Place smells horrible and as we walked in some people came up to us and told us not to eat here. So extending the warning

Fantastic service and fantastic seafood! The oysters were amazing! Very reasonably priced. We'll definitely be back next time we visit the area! read more

Tried this place, recommended by the front desk.. The tacos were small, breaded fish platter and shrimp platter both were over fried. I am giving this 2 stars only because the view was nice and the strawberry margarita was delicious. The food however... was not so much... and way overpriced. If I wanted to pay $50 for a subpar seafood dinner I would have just ate back in the states. Def a tourist trap Later, last night we ended up finding a way better taco spot, but it was en El Centro del pueblo (center of the town). Will find the name/location and post later read more

Shrimp was tasty. Nice patio with beautiful view. The salsa for the chips and salsa was super watery and had no flavor. Good thing it was $1.50. Definitely American prices. read more

I was not happy with this place. Before we even went inside I asked the gentleman with the menu outside waiving us down if they cleaned their oysters. Every place we went it seemed like they opened the oysters but never rinsed them. He said yes of course we do. We got our oysters and salty just so nasty. I asked the man for water ( the same man) to rinse my own oysters. You'd think this would have prompted him to rinse them but nope he brought me a cup and a bottle of water and we had to dip each oyster in the water. The place was empty that should have been flag number one. read more

Ate there last night. Had some shrimp aguachiles. Wife had to go to the doctor because the food made her sick. After consult, the doctor determined the seafood made her sick in the stomach. Eat with caution. You've been warned. read more

Mary's Seafood - Great views! - Seafood Near Me - Puerto Peñasco, SON

The view from the second floor was awesome. We order a platter for two that had both baked and breaded fish and shrimp. The seafood was deliciously seasoned if you like garlic. Prices were about average. The servers were attentive and spoke both English and Spanish. read more

Used to eat here until we discovered Sr Amigo next door. Way better food and prices! Sorry Mary's....

Everytime we come into PP we have to eat at Mary's. We have had Carlita our waitress she is awesome and food is fresh/ delicious.

We hadn't been to RP/PP in over a year, and this was one of two places we really wanted to come back to. The other being Mare Blu. Once again, we had great seafood for lunch. Last June, I'd wanted to have scallop tacos, but they were unavailable, but this time around, I'm happy to report that they had them. I ordered a shrimp w/cheese taco and two scallop tacos. Companion ordered scallop tacos and a shrimp cocktail. The corn tortillas are perfect. The sauce on the scallop tacos is simple, but really a perfect complement. I ordered the shrimp and cheese taco out of curiosity and it worked really well with just enough shredded Mexican cheese under the shrimp. All our tacos were/are always garnished with a nice slice of avocado. The shrimp cocktail was good, but not exceptional because it seems that everywhere we've been serves really good Baja-style shrimp cocktail (like a big Bloody Mary w/no vodka, Clamato, veggies with 8-10 good-size shrimp). I wanted to order the Avocado Surprise (I'd had it before and really liked it), but dinner was in only 5 hours and I wanted to be hungry for it. Same for the beef tacos. There's something about the way they prep/season their beef that makes it so good. Their menu is simple, but they do it well enough for us to keep going back. There are entrees more suitable for a larger meal (dinner), but we haven't had those in at least a couple of years. They have a laminated menu with photos available for those items. We know a number of people that help us occasionally for special needs, but one dude (Francisco) is employed by Mary's. He even helped us find a physician one late night 2-3 years ago. He's directed us to the best shrimp, gone out of his way to obtain clams at the restaurant, etc. If you get him, you're guaranteed great service, although we've always been taken care of at Mary's. Buen Provecho! (Bon Appetit in Spanish) read more

Walking around the area and couldn't figure out where to eat... everyone is yelling at you to come try their seafood/restaurant, that you get annoyed and frustrated. Well, the guy outside here was just as annoying... but behind us was a pair that said "we also were in doubt, but look at us, we're back here again a 3rd time" -there, sold, we went in. Server was pushy on the big expensive meals, which the four of us didn't order, but we ended up getting tacos of various things and they were tasty, very tasty. They were definitely nothing to look at and arrived plain on the tortilla with no toppings but they were yummy: scallop, shrimp, and fish taco are the ones I can attest to enjoying. The food was seasoned very well and had good flavor and my 2yr old scarfed about all the 3 tacos I bought for us to "share" ... haha, so mommy ordered some more for her. THe view is nice and the food was enjoyable so I think we'll have to come again since there aren't very many options I've said this about while in RP. read more

So disappointed with our combo platter and the rest of the seafood we ordered on May 24, 2021 at Mary's seafood. Took our first time visiting family to Mary's to taste seafood and from our past experience and reviews was confident made the right choice just to be so let down by the quality of food they served. The battered fish taste was awful, the shrimp tough, overall disgusted. We paid $180 for 8 people no alcohol just revolting food. Not sure what happens throughout the years but not the quality of food I remember in last 5-10 years. Don't mean to steer you from visiting but in hopes they'd start serving more quality food. read more

Came in town for a vacation and loved the seafood this restaurant served !! Definitely visiting again for those oysters!!
