Amazing Mexican food (specializing in seafood) at a spacious venue where they also have karaoke night, exceptional service with servers that check on you periodically and are also very prompt in bringing out the food, and great vibe overall. They also serve excellent horchata as well. Highly recommended! read more

You're supposed to have a good time while eating and socializing w your friends right? WRONG, I went in there with a slight headache, left with a RAGING migraine. My God! Why is the music so damn loud! I love Banda, corridos, you name it, but geez, I could not hear my sister and she was sitting next to me. Conversations were made of "What?" "Repeat that" "I can't hear you" eventually we gave up and just ate our food. Fix that wth. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, karaoke playing, everyone having a great time. Variety of entertainment throughout the evening. Our party of 10 was accommodated in a good space. Our server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were nice and strong. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and I wasn't impressed. A little on the salty side but large enough to share with a few others. The shrimp cocktail looked delicious with fresh avocado and pico de gallo. If anything I will come back for the entertainment and drinks. Good time had by our group. Would recommend. read more

The food is pretty good & fresh here. The ambiance is fun with frequent live music. The service is usually frequent & friendly. My favorite item on the menu has to be the octopus! read more

Food is delicious. The environment is fun. Margaritas are amazing. I often get the "mar y Tierra" plate depending on the waiter sometimes They do replace the fish for more shrimp. I guess it depends what mood their on. Haha. read more

Stop by for dinner, the atmosphere was unpleasant and not welcoming! waitress was rude, the food was not what I was expecting I ordered a shrimp cocktail explained to them how I wanted it served since I'm allergic to certain things, and instead they added ingredients that I did not ask for, shrimp was not fresh it seemed it was from frozen bags, I asked them if they could change it and they disagreed and where rude about it! Ruined my whole night I had been on the road for days (truckers life) don't recommend this place at all! read more

We come here almost weekly. Always sit at the bar. The service is quick and friendly. All our needs are anticipated. The oysters are incredibly fresh and reasonably priced. Music is always great and it seems like everyone is having a good time. Ill take this place over a fancy over priced oyster bar anytime. read more

#17 on Katy Freeway I pointed on the picture menu of the dish what was printed, and he wrote the wrong thing. He argued with me that was what I confirmed. My wife just agreed, but it was not what was she ordered. Food tasted really bad, and had to ask for condiment like ketchup, cocktail sauce, and tartar sauce. I will never ever visit another Ostioneria again. read more

We went on a Sunday, me and my boyfriend and the charged $13.49 on gratuity included to the tap.... I left tip on top of that on the table not knowing that they already included. So just on tip the waitress got close to $30.00 on tips. If the food we got would've good then I wouldn't mind but is was not the case. I won't come back. read more

Wish they were a little more honest when they advertise their food. The only reason I wanted to try this place was because of how great the cocktail looked on the billboard. When the cocktail came, it did not have any of the shrimp off the sides, no olives, and no lime. I politely asked if they made it wrong by mistake and showed them a picture of how it looks on the billboard. They had no idea what I was talking about and just told me "well that's just how we make them". $14.99 for cocktail and disappointing results. read more

Bad service really bad 45 minutes for a dish and noooo body around to care or ask for service ‍

Honestly i don't complain to much about places because i'm more than great full for their service, but i come here pretty frequently and get lunch . Today i was going to order to go and called in they put me on hold and never responded back. So i come in and i order my usual also not to say they do not charge you the menu price (printed on togo and in the menus at the restaurant) 5.25 for an item . Come to find out they are charging 7.25. When i question them about it all they can say is that the menus haven't been updated ?? Well i hope they would at least charge me what they menu says ! But nope...loved coming here but more than likely be the last. I wonder what else are they charging just because the menus aren't updated ... read more

I went to dinner w/my family on a Wednesday night and was disappointed at how loud the music was in the restaurant. It was as if I was at a club. I asked the waiter if they could turn the volume down because we were having to shout at each other over dinner. He said NO. I asked if they rather shout at their customers when taking their orders-he shrugged and said yes because the volume will not be decreased. (SMH) read more

The food is great and I love the music and how they always have enough staff to cater to everyone in a timely manner.

While I agree with some of the other reviews that the music is a bit loud (even what they play on the speakers without a live band), but I didn't mind it because they were classic Mexican songs that everyone can sing along to. I ordered the shrimp ceviche tostadas and they were loaded and delicious. Their green salsa that comes with the chips is AMAZING and so spicy I had to order the horchata to try and get some milk to calm the fire in my mouth. I willingly poured the green salsa on my tostada and it was like a spicy heaven in my mouth. My sister ordered a shrimp cocktail and it was also packed with shrimp so much so, she had to ask for a to go box. It makes me sad that this place has such low ratings that mostly judge the ambiance of the place and not the quality of the food. The food was really good and I can't wait to go back! Service was also good. A bit slow but we went on a Sunday and it was pretty packed. Still got in and out within a reasonable time considering. read more

First off I arrived for dinner and they had a DJ playing the music so loud you can feel the vibration off the walls. When asked to the waitress multiple times to lower the music it was replied that their not able too. I simply walked out the nostalgic feeling of the food is the only reason I go there. But the service is horrible, the place is disgusting and filthy. Management does not care at all about proper service and the treatment to the clients. Second pathetic appeal to only appeal to one type of clientele and shows absolutely no sign of improvement. This is one business I'm looking forward to shutting its doors!!! read more

Food is excellent! Service is great!!! Most people complaining about that charge tip... well my thing is if you don't have money to tip then just eat at home. If you think the beer and drinks are too expensive just drink at home. Simple. read more

My first visit to this place was this past Wednesday. I had the parillada de mariscos. It was flavorless seafood on a hot skillet with soggy fries and a greasy attempt at fried rice. I also ordered an adult beverage...a weak Cuba Libre for 8.95.Never again, I was beyond disappointed with the food here. Skip it or regret it. read more

Me gusta el arroz con chile abanero y púlpitos, muy buena combinación. También los aguachiles.

Although I'm only giving this restaurant 3 stars, the food is actually quite good. There is nothing fancy about this place: it's a taqueria that mostly serves seafood. That's it. We went on a Saturday night and got there around 8ish. We were seated promptly considering it was very busy. We had micheladas and they mix was surprisingly good. Def recommend the micheladas there if you are a fan of them. I know I'm fan of them and had 3 myself. Also, the salsa was pretty tasty and they also had some different types of hot sauces on the table that were quite good and easily found at a Fiesta Mart if you want them for your personal arsenal at home. The food itself was quite tasty. My lady friend had the fried Tilapia and was very good. I ordered the "Pulpo a la Diabla." I was told by numerous people prior to going there that if you don't let the waitstaff know ahead of time, the kitchen will grill the squid and it will come out very hard. So I specifically informed the waiter to not grill the squid but to make sure that the kitchen sautees the squid in the sauce. It came out exactly like I asked and it was very spicy and very good. My little girl had the Kid's Taco plate and she liked the meat, rice and beans. Overall, the place is good due to the fact that the food is good. However, I recommend to not visit the place late at night because they have Karaoke in Spanish and it's usually the DJ who sings and unfortunately, bless her little heart, is not a very good singer at all. In fact, she's just awful! But, if you're in the mood to sing some Vicente Fernandez or Ramon Ayala, this is the place for you. Also, the service is quite slow but of course you'd expect that in a taqueria. However, in the waiter's defense, I did see that he must have had 8 to 10 tables by himself. I think that he was the only competent one there and since the other waitresses are either incompetent or too busy checking their Facebook, he had to pick up the slack. Regardless of the minor setbacks, I will say that whenever we want some fairly cheap but delicious seafood and we're in the area, we'll def consider this place first. I just hope that the DJ isn't there or maybe I'll have to brush off the dust on my Alejandro Fernandez skills! read more

Delicious with the food . The first time I try Mexican food . I love Mexican food. Thanks to cookers read more

This place was crowded but we got seated fast. Tables too close, people kept bumping into my chair. Drinks were ok. I ordered a burrito(fajita) because I had been craving one for the longest so I was happy when I saw it on the menu. It was not good. It was cold and no flavor at all. Restrooms were very clean and smelled good. I was impressed. I gave it 2 stars for the restroom. Haha. read more

Mar Y Tierra - Fajitas were okay; cant mess that up. The fish didnt taste to well; seemed really saugy; the shrimp had really hard skin on it barely any meat to eat. I was excited when I ordered a plate that came with; Chicken & Steak Fajitas, Shrimp, fish, rice & beans but this was not what was in the picture. lol Yeah the music was too loud for my liking; big place. I dont think the WHOLE place should be blasting the music; maybe just the bar side should have the music that loud. I was by myself and couldnt even concentrate with the Mexican version of Gangam Style literally on the projector screen. I will try this place out again though; hopefully I just need to order the right thing. read more

Went here for lunch and was happy with the food, I had a combo with shrimp and fajitas, very good rice and beans, and less than a mile from my house. Full bar and open late, I could see the possibilities of this becoming our neighborhood late night place. Couldn't wait to take the hubby, but when we popped in for dinner, the waitress couldn't understand my drink order--rum and diet coke. She sent over someone who spoke better English and she didn't understand either and then they told me they didn't have any rum. Really, what do you make pina coladas with?? Anyhoo, they brought my husband's margarita, which was absolutely disgusting, unless you like to eat concentrated frozen limeade. Evidently he didn't mind it too much because he sucked it down as quickly as he could, but that was mostly because they had some obnoxiously loud Spanish karaoke going on and it was hurting our ears. So we left without eating, I didn't want to spend another dime or minute in that place. Seriously, I'd go back, and I'd even go tell the bartender that the waitresses don't know what rum is so they can get schooled, but not as long as they have the karaoke. Too much excellent Mexican food in Houston to put up with that. read more

This place is good the only horrible thing about it is the guy in charge of the karaoke his rude and when you sign up he skips you and then you ask for songs and tells you if you want to sing what I have if not I will get someone else to sing. read more

We did a take out order. Cajun Shrimp Camaron Botana $23.95lb, We get home no corn or potatoes and what looks like 1/2lb. We contacted the manager Jose Flores.. he wanted me to stop what I was doing and take the entire order back to the restaurant so he could see and look that there was no corn or potato in the plastic container... SMH.. seriously? We also ordered the fish filet with 6 shrimps.. We got a filet of fish cut in half to make two fish fillets and only 4 shrimps... I told him (manager Jose Flores) that the order was incomplete and prepared poorly. Again he wanted me to stop what I was doing and take my dinner back to him so he could verify. I told him i will take a picture so he can see. He was aminet about me wrapping my dinner take a 8 mile drive back to the restaurant so he can verify my order... I believe this "Manager" Jose Flores could have been more pleasant and made my dinner experience more pleasurable. I will NEVER go back to that place. I finally got ahold of their Cooperate office and left a message. Hopefully they can make this better. Until then.. This location has the poorest service.... My total order was $56.00 which I think I could have went to Long John Silvers and had a more pleasurable dinning experience. read more

Grate food and grate service by the way see you guys next time with the whole families and nice environment and music to jam to

My husband was craving "Mexican seafood", so we went here. It was fairly empty for 7pm, but it was a Wednesday. We shared the fried calamari appetizer, which was really very good. The calamari was perfectly cooked, not horribly chewy and overdone like it can be all too often at other places. I ordered two tostadas, one cooked shrimp off the main menu, and the fish ceviche appetizer tostada. I preferred the ceviche tostada, but not for any concrete reason. My husband had the snapper fillet, and very much enjoyed it. The service wasn't exactly bad, but the waiter didn't notice that my water glass was waterless, which always bugs me. The mariachis, as always, everywhere, were just a little too loud; they prevent easy conversing. But that was better than the mic-checks that were happening before they began. read more

Great micheladas nice karyoke food is great I will go back even if i have to drive left my credit card they kept it safe read more

So I'm going to tell my side of the story since this is my first time being here and let me tell you.. I am not coming back after the experience at this restaurant. So I went with five of my friends here and thought it would be nice to try the food here since I never been here before.. My friend ordered a drink but accidentally forgot her ID so we were completely okay with that, we just wanted to eat. Anyways one of the guys comes to our table and brings my friend a drink since I guess he thought she was cute or something. Our waiter told my friend that she needed to throw her drink away or go to the bar because he didn't wanna get a ticket or etc. because she didn't have her ID with her and didn't want to get in trouble for it but in reality he wasnt the one who served it for us.. And said if we kept the drink .. He wasn't gonna attend us, fucking rude ass guy!!! I swear. Anyways... Before all of that happened... He asked us if we wanted more chips after we finished our first little plate and we said "sure". . I went on a Tuesday in the afternoon and this guy took more than 10 minutes to bring them!!!!! It was a slow ass night! I'm a waitress and there shouldn't be a reason why he was taking long. I can tell when the environment is busy as hell & he didn't have many tables because this guy was brooming and cleaning and had forgotten our chips!!!!! While we were waiting on my other friend to get there , we decided to order all together... I ordered an appetizer first and everyone else ordered entrees.. Tell me why I was the last one to get my food. My friends got all their food!!!! My boyfriend got his entree and didn't touch it because he wanted to wait on my food to get there first so we could eat... Well tell me why.. A FOOD RUNNER (not my waiter) asked my boyfriend... "Why haven't you touched your food?" And he replied "she hasn't gotten her food." I ordered an APPETIZER!!!!!! that should've been brought up first!!!!!! It was just a shrimp cocktail while everyone else got orders of fish,shrimp and oysters!!!!! The waiter hardly checked up on our table whatsoever! I had a horrible experience here and WILL NEVER EVER be back. I usually leave a decent amount of tip but I gave him less than what deserved and so did my friends. He asked for my friends ID but didn't ask my boyfriend for one and he claimed he didn't wanna get in trouble and what not.. Then why in the hell didn't he ask my boyfriend for his ID? He could've not had it and served him.. He could've gotten in trouble with TABC right there!!! He could've been a worker for the BARS program. Regardless if he looked old AF... He's supposed to ask for an ID.. No matter what!!! My boyfriend (24) got a Dos XX and after he finished it the waiter came back and asked if he wanted another one.. This guy took more than 5 minutes to bring a damn bottled Dos XX!! Then he asked my boyfriend if he wanted another one and he said "I'm still waiting on that second one" and he said "oh yeah!" He was about to charge him for 3 when he only had 2 throughout the whole night!!!! I was so annoyed!!! I swear to god I was anxious to get home and write about this experience. He asked everyone for refills and didn't even notice me. I didn't even wanna look at him in the face. Therefore that being said, If you want good service.. Don't expect it here. Worst afternoon of my life. read more

If your craving some high price seafood, horrible service this is the place your looking for. The food was okay nothing out of the ordinary We had a bad experience at this location the service was horrible, we where only a party of three and the waitress added the tip Note " by law no restaurant can demand the gratuity or tip to be added on your tap" Well they did. It wouldn't be a big deal to us if the service had not been so horrible. No plans on returning. read more

This place sucks. Crappy service, nasty food. Don't waste your money here

Decided to give this place another try after we had some problems with the place we were originally going to go for Easter Sunday. Sadly, this place has not gotten any better. I only agreed to come because my husband likes it. The rice in my Mar y Tierra plate had some crusty rice pieces. Like they scraped the pan to give me rice. The food was cold. The waitress didn't give us a single napkin until we asked for some. Not to mention that the chips and salsa here suck. I don't know why I keep agreeing to come here... read more

Well the oysters were delicious, the shrimp cocktail lacked a bit of lemon juice for my taste, and the ice tea was bland. What really pissed me off was the music. They were playing so e really good salsa music and then all of a sudden the bar area starts blaring some nortenas and just killed the vibe I had going. The waitresses barely spoke English and they never came back with my change. read more

Waited an hour for our food, very poor service, food was ok but not worth returning. They did offer a discount because I complained however I will still not be returning. read more

We ordered the Parillada Mixta plate and it was so good, we came back the following week and ordered the Parillada d Huach. They were both great with so much food we had to take some home. The plates were packed with seafood and very tasty. I also tried their oyster plate and was not disappointed. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food. We will definitely return. read more

This place is a great place to hang out drink eat they have same good agua Chile shrimp there r bomb and the drinks r good.

I would not recommend eating here ! The food wasn't that great. It took a while for them to serve our food. When we finally got everything some was ice cold and some was very hot (such as the outer shell of the Lobster burned me but inside it was cold) . I ordered the grilled lobster my mother ordered the fried tilapia and neither was cleaned before they were cooked. The bell pepper still had the sticker on it from when you buy it so obviously it hadn't been cleaned either before cooked. The lobster was boiled; not grilled like the menu had said it would be. The sides we had were cold and we couldn't eat them. We never got refills on drinks the whole time we were there. There was poor service and attitude was present when the waitress would come and ask us for anything else. She would roll her eyes too if we did ask for something such as more napkins because we didn't have any but two thin ones. The food just wasn't that great. I don't think I'll ever go back there ever again. I didn't like it at all.! read more
