I'm honestly impressed by this place! Food is amazing and the portions are huge, I was shocked when they brought over our food. The Micheladas with the shrimp have so much flavor, the tostada de camaron was loaded with shrimp and I love that they don't skimp on the avocado. The shrimp empanadas were also good, my only critic would be that it was a little bland on flavor and they were a bit too greasy for my liking. Other than that being a flaw I still give this place a big thumbs up, it's definitely a place I would come back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Food was delicious and the restaurant is beautiful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the tacos con tortillas hechas a mano. The meat was tender and seasoned well. The tortillas were fresh - firm enough to hold everything together, but practically melts in your mouth. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is beautifully decorated with plants. It is neat and clean. Plenty of space for any number of party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended! read more

I went on a Friday night and ordered the molcajete bowl. Unfortunately, the shrimp was overcooked and the food had very little flavor. Everything tasted bland, to the point where I couldn't really tell what I was eating after a few bites. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was extremely loud, and there were constant speaker issues with a high-pitched squealing sound, which was very distracting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I understand the party atmosphere, but the sound problems made it uncomfortable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]By the time our food came out, the lights were turned down for a party scene, which didn't help the experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We paid about $150 for three people, which felt very steep considering we barely ate and ended up leaving. Overall, it just wasn't as good as other mariscos locations I've been to. read more

This review is for their "vegetarian super burrito" only. Vegetarian burrito is basic, but the basic ingredients had good flavor: rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, chunks of avocado. However, it needs something more like fajita vegetables to have enough flavor. Changing the avocado chunks to guacamole would also help. The two complimentary salsas helped a lot, just not enough to make a truly delicious vegetarian option. The salsa verde (green one) is not spicy and has a good flavor, and the red one is spicy with also a good flavor. As of June 1, 2025 the person who answered the phone said their rice and beans are not cooked in animal products. read more

My friend got us food to go and was surprised that for the amount of food you get the prices are really reasonable. I had a very concise order for my super burrito and they got it right! There was plenty of al pastor in my burrito and very good! The avocado was a bit light but that was okay. Their green salsa was also very tasty. Knowing they use refried beans and not whole beans, I would try my burrito with beans next time. read more

-visited expecting to enjoy the advertised Today's Specials -- $25 bucket -- which was clearly posted on the door. Despite this, staff refused to honor the promotion, which felt misleading. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To make matters worse, there was no air conditioning, and the excessive heat from the kitchen created an uncomfortably warm environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]This combination of poor customer service and uncomfortable conditions made for a disappointing experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -Visité el lugar con la expectativa de disfrutar la promoción anunciada en la puerta -- Especiales de Hoy: cubeta por $25 -- sin embargo, el personal se negó a respetarla, lo que resulta engañoso. Para empeorar la situación, no había aire acondicionado y el calor excesivo proveniente de la cocina hacía que el ambiente fuera muy incómodo. Esta combinación de mal servicio al cliente y condiciones poco agradables resultó en una experiencia decepcionante read more

TLDR; the food is amazing. I don't usually start reviews this bold but I really want onlookers to read the statement above if it's the only thing they see of this review. I've been there a couple of times since they've opened and tried a couple of their plates. Food: I've tried their chicken enchilada, chilaquiles, and burrito. Everything was good. I can't begin to describe how great of a feeling it is to be at a place that's batting 1000 so far. The burritos are massive, juicy, and full of flavors. The enchiladas are a favorite. On-point, cant go wrong imo. The chilaquiles were a first for me, and they were delicious. Service: overall, service is good. Got out stuff on time etc. Here and there you may get a server who isn't the most friendly but they've all been professional which is "my bar". Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is OK. Nothing earth chattering. TVs all around and loud music that has nothing to do with the music. It's nothing out of the ordinary tbh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, great spot for lunch and dinner, good portions, and good price. I hope they stay the course and keep serving amazing food. I hope to be able to be back many times. read more

Came with a friend for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered a carne asada super burrito, camarones a la diabla, and the meal came with chips & salsa. Camarones a la diabla is my fav Mexican dish in the whole world and I really enjoyed this one! It was spicy and the shrimp were plump, plus their homemade tortillas were perfect!! The service was attentive and the music was not as loud as a previous review made it out to be. Maybe the restaurant read that review and turned it down, but my friend and I were able to have a conversation just fine. The prices are also very fair- under $40 for the whole meal! We would definitely return! read more

This has to have one of the best selection of Mexican and Mariscos not to mention 15 bers

Looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant then Restaurant La Ceiba is where it's at just open four months ago specialized in seafood platter, tacos, salad, homemade tortillas, tortas, super burritos and much much more to satisfied one's taste buds. Came by on a Friday morning less traffic and so few people as I was the only customer best to come by early before the lunch crowd settles in. Was greeted by a friendly attentive waitress as she gave me the menu I chose the alambre it's a dish served on a hot skillet plate with chopped grilled beef with red/green bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, rice, bacon, cheese with five homemade tortillas on top to wrapped up as a roll simply delicious with generous portions for under $14 best to pay cash you're get a discount. As with each meals comes with tortilla chips and salsa no drinks just settle for iced water. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is quite spacious and clean they have multiple TV plasma in every corner a great place to dine-in with friends and families and they have a great outdoor patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ample parking behind the building will definitely be back my go-to for traditional Mexican meals so support your local business as September is Latinx Heritage month. read more

Went here on a whim since it's close by the house and so glad we did. Walking in, we're greeted right away, brought us high chair that was new and clean. The waitress asked for our drinks and then the fun part, ordering from this endless list of options. I had the chicken enchiladas w red sauce and husband ordered shrimp enchiladas w green sauce. The kiddos had a few options but honestly, whenever there's chicken nuggets on the menu, it's a given and their quesadilla w meat was super yummy; a homemade tortilla? Yes please. The food was delicious, and a generous amount. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is great, big open space with TVs all over. We were able to watch some football.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was very helpful, she checked in every so often. We'll be coming back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Going there for my first time and walking in to the restaurant had a good vibe into it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has a bar with stools, nice decorated, service and staff top notch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Having handmade tortillas in a restaurant is a big plus in opinion and la ceiba has in my opinion one of the best spot around San Jose. I was impressed with the flavor of the food and can't wait to go there again. read more

I walked in not really knowing what to expect but was greeted with a warm smile and a friendly tone that made me feel welcome right away, the staff here are honestly some of the nicest people I've come across in a while and they really seemed to care that everyone was having a good time and getting what they needed, the food came out at a good pace and everything looked fresh and smelled amazing which was already a good sign before even taking a bite, the flavors were all well balanced and nothing felt too heavy or overly done, you can tell they put thought into the dishes and even though some items were simple they still had that home made kind of care behind them, I liked how the portions were fair too not too big not too small and definitely left feeling satisfied but not stuffed, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was laid back and you could have a casual meal or a more quiet conversation and it would still feel right, there was just something about the way everything came together that made it a place I'd want to come back to sometime soon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Oh my gosh great service. I came here for 10am tacos between clients and have to say that the tacos are great. Served very fast with the most delicious hand made tortillas. I'd share a pic but I ate them so fast. The service is also amazing! read more
