Decent place focused, almost exclusively, on seafood, particularly various shrimps, and steaks. They are focused on Nayarit style cuisine Prices will strike one as high, but the portions are pretty large. My father and I shared a Mariscos Molcajete. As the name indicates, it is served in a large molcajete. It consists of three kinds of shrimp, some with head and leg on, the Langostino and then small room along with half the legs of a crab, and one claw and a few scallops and bits of octopus and some other things thrown in. The sauce is a red sauce with a nice peppariness. They start by bringing you several hard, flat corn tortilla shells, along with some salsa Verde and some ceviche paste with carrots and other things in it It is a good place for a quick simply prepared version of seafood The decor is plain and simple read more

got There at 10:10 am and had the lady tell me I was there too early and that I had to wait till she put down all the chairs on every table to be seated. she than said I had to wait for her to clean all the tables before she put in my order. It was just me And my 8 year old. Never going there again. read more

The seafood gave me food poisoning for 3 days, and noticed that their shrimp wasn't cleaned. I don't recommend eating here.

Very nice place , our server Lety was very polite and friendly, we ordered a parrillada and when it arrived the small burner that keeps it hot was out and we did not notice , she did and removed it from our table to have it remade , we decided not to have that anymore because the side dishes where getting cold so we ordered something ells and finished our meal happy with the way they handled the situation. Will be coming back , good big portions and very fresh seafood. Thank you Lety for a really nice experience. read more

Not sure why this place has a so-so average. I've been here a number of times and always had a good experience. Food amazing. Service decent. I hope no one is really coming here for the tacos. It's really a seafood place. read more

We went through the drive thru tonight and a red flag should have been there's no prices on the menu board which is WEIRD. We ordered one asada taco dinner and one chicken taco dinner. Both of them were TERRIBLE. They had ZERO flavor. I could literally only taste the corn tortillas and not even any of the meat. Also $29 for two taco dinners and a small horchata is crazy when the food has no flavor. Big waste of money. read more

Let's be honest, seafood can get costly and a family can easily go broke. But the taste of the Mariscos here seriously rivaled the taste of Nayarit in Mexico. I'm a true believer now. Imagine, a seafood dish smothered in actual cheese! Ummmm no thank you! BUT, have it here and you will believe in Nayarit. Wow, my mom ordered it and I had to taste it. Easily, one of my new favorites as trust when I say, I'll be ordering this again in other spots and doing that YELP comparison of taste. Seriously one of the best flavors I have had in years, and the cheese has to be melted. It comes with fries, salad, rice, and the fixings. Way too much food also for the $25 price, but that's no complaint, we now have leftovers for later on. I myself had the good old fashioned shrimp cocktail in small. And can I be honest, small is enough for a big meal. The shrimp were perfectly sized and the octopus pieces also. It was sweet but with a little Los Magueys hot sauce. It became a perfection. Also, the micheladas are so good. You can always take it in a to-go container I had the good old-fashioned shrimp cocktail in small. And c read more

Got in here on a Sunday afternoon and only four tables were in use as we arrived before noon. We got our chips and salsa immediately so a good start I thought. Nope! We all sat there without any water or anyone coming to the table for nearly 45 minutes. Finally, after seeing other people, who were Latino, coming in and getting served immediately, I got up and said something to the greeter who apologized and said she'd notify the server. Another 20-25 minutes goes by and I get up and go and say something again and this time the server is right there and does not apologize but simply says she did not see us, despite the fact she served a table of 6 that came in AFTER us right beside our table. Finally after being there over an hour we do get some water and iced tea. She says she'll be right back to take our order after dropping off our drinks before we can even say that we were ready to order (we'd been there for a long time, did she not think we were not ready??). Another 15 minutes goes by and I go chase this woman down and she comes to our table and we order. By now we'd been here over 2 hours. She says the food is coming within 5 minutes! Another nearly 20 minutes goes by and my friend who has long since drank his solo beer (he wasn't driving so planned to drink some beers, so much for that idea) suggests we just get up, throw down a fiver for the beer and leave. Right then our food comes out. I mean literally we were just getting up after two and a half hours and finally there is our food. The food was really, really fantastic food, all of it. Period. It gets worse from here though. Only one drink refill and a "how is everything" occurs and it's from another waitress, not ours. Finally after 3 hours, give or take, we are more than ready to leave. Our waitress comes by and gives me the check. I request she take $10 off for the ridiculous service. She does not seem to understand my English. I am not sure if she really does not understand or is playing like she does not understand. I request her to please get it approved from a manager. She leaves. Again I have to go hunt down someone, this time I ask a manager to come over. About 10 minutes later he still hasn't arrived but I see him pouring drinks and helping other folks out. By now the restaurant is fairly hopping. I talk to the manager and he does not apologize for anything but seems friendly overall. I go back to the booth and I see him going up to the bar and fiddling with it. I expect him to come back but he does not. A few minutes later our waitress comes back with an iPad. I believe she is going to expect that I'll give her a tip by her putting me on the spot by being there, instead of the manager. If so she has another thing coming ;) However, I look at what I am signing and yes the manager did deduct $10. And strangely there is NO option for any tip at all. I am ok with that as I did not plan to tip her anyways. I sign it and we get up to leave. By now a huge amount of people are at the door and the manager is there by them with menus. As we leave I pull the manager aside and tell him that the food was great but he has to do something about the absolutely terrible service. He just smiles and says Thank you. Again, not a single apology from anyone about any of the absolutely worst service in a restaurant I have ever had in my 51 years on this planet. That's not where the story ends. A week later I get a call from my credit card company that my card is being used in Washington and in Texas. On our Chicago trip we had only used my card in two places, a gas station and this restaurant. I did check the gas station for skimmers (I always do) and so I am left only to guess if this waitress or manager did something with my card or perhaps it is just a coincidence. I am not making any allegation as I do not know but I know what I believe it to be and you can make your own conclusion from the story. Bottom line here, I feel as if we were discriminated against because we were not Latino. Now I don't know if that's true, just my guess as everyone else around us, even folks who came in way after us, who were Latino got good service and we did not. Or perhaps it was just a crummy waitress. Either way I have two suggestions: if you do want to go here get takeout. And if you're planning to dine in then use cash. Honestly though, there's too many fantastic options in this area to even bother with this place. AVOID. read more

This place is amazing! Although it's one of the best ceviches I've had, don't bother with the appetizers as the portions are HUGE! The paella was amazing and flavorful and the seafood was super fresh. Will definitely stop back in next time I'm in Chicago. read more

Not a bad place to come after a Fire game if you don't mind waiting for a good hour. If you plan on attending after the game please be patient and try to arrive as fast as you can so you don't have to wait as long. The staff was very friendly, and felt that the prices were fair compared to other mariscos restaurants. The highlight of my night was their michelada menu. I've had decent micheladas but no other place has served micheladas like here. Packed with a lot of shrimp and hot sauce on top and with your choice of beer. Absolutely delicious. I also ordered their Pina rellena, wouldn't say it was my most favorite, Im pretty sure I've had a lot better, but it was still edible. I will continue to come here. Great atmosphere, especially after games. read more

I've eating here a few times on lunch. The food is good actually. But the service is horrible. There don't get the orders correct. The hospitality just isn't there.

I do not recommend unless you like spending money places people clearly treat you different. read more

Terrible service (lots of other negative reviews on horrible service)! Complete liars!! MUST READ. This place gave me the wrong order and charged me for the "much pricier" item that I did not order. I was without dinner that night. I called and asked to speak to the manager so I can request a refund/replacement with the correct item. Claudia who answered said she was the manager, but after I explained being given the wrong item and the mis-charge, I could hear Claudia put the phone down, say something in Spanish to someone else and passed me off without even saying "hold on". 5 seconds later I said hello?? And then Wendy got on the phone and asked me to re-explain. I asked what happened to Claudia, the manager? Wendy said she's not the manager and that there isn't a manager on-site and that Claudia had to go take orders. After explaining, Wendy said she can't assure me I would get a replacement or refund even though I bring the receipt because one has to bring back the original item within 24 hours. I told her I was going out of state early the next morning but would return in a week and can bring back the receipt & item then, if they really wanted it. She said still she couldn't guarantee based on some "policy" it has to be within 24 hours. Ridiculous! They give you the wrong order and won't refund you or give you any flexibility! She said she'd have to ask her manager but that her manager is busy right now. I said, wait, I thought you said there's no manager on-site?? I said who's your manager? She said Claudia. Wendy paused as she knew I caught her in a lie! Unbelievable. I said I thought you just told me Claudia wasn't the manager and that there isn't a manager on-site??! She was frantic, tried to back peddle and said the stupidest thing! Wendy said well...she's usually the manager but right now she isn't the manager and is a waitress because it's busy so she's taking orders. That was the most f**** ridiculous thing I've heard. I let Wendy know she really shouldn't lie for her manager, that this is unacceptable to blatantly lie to a customer and that she can tell her "manager" Claudia I don't appreciate being passed off rudely for a mistake they made and not handling the situation better. I also let Wendy know I will be sure to write them a bad review for their awful service so that other patrons are aware and that I will be coming in after I return to town to get my $ back for their mistake!! But when I got back in town, I decided I'm not bothering because they'll probably spit in my food! read more

The name might be a little deceiving (I know it was for me!) since this place I think is known for their seafood dishes and their crazy micheladas. I was there with a group of 3 friends and we all got a michelada which was almost like a meal itself (had shrimp and ceviche by the bottle). We ordered the Chapuzon de Mar, Ceviche de Camaron, and the Charola de Mar. The Chapuzon and the Charola de Mar are pretty similar in taste but the items in each dish are somewhat different. We didnt have any wait time or anything since we were there early on a Saturday but I do agree with other reviews that there is always a wait time in the afternoon/evening on the weekends. I had tried to eat here twice in the past and always walked out because of the wait. Plan accordingly if you really want to try their food. I would always say that the seafood dishes are pretty much the same as the other Mexican seafood restaurants in Chicago (La Costa, El Ancla, El Belero de Nayarit, or Las Islas Marias).Service was great and our server was very attentive with us whether it was bringing us more tostadas or crackers to filling up our glass of water. If I am every in the area I would def go back and recommend it to others who like Mexican style seafood. read more

I wish I could give this place zero stars. Ordered three large shrimp cocktails and they were terrible is an understatement. Sauce had no flavor, and shrimp was not cleaned. Several still had sections of shell still on. Service is also poor. For how expensive this place is.. I highly recommend you spend your hard earned money elsewhere. read more

I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the service. It is OVERPRICED on food as well as drinks. I was there a couple weeks ago and our server Vicente Z. was amazing even though it was a Saturday and it was really busy he was great. Hope more places would hire more people like him. Excellent customer service! read more

One star is too much for this place. I ordered a enchilada dinner the cook must think me being a Latina don't know the difference in real enchiladas and bs ones . They did not look like the ones on the menu. The cook made them out of tomato sauce like wth!!!! Save your money people never ever returned there again. read more

Service here is great, food is served quickly!Because of the open layout you can see the cooking area so you can feel safe your food is done right. Tacos "Al Pastor" (pork) and "Cecina" (thinly cut beef) are yummy, pair that up with "Horchata" (rice water) and your set to go. Perfect before or after a game/concert/event since its right across the street from Toyota Park, easy to find and get to. Just a tip, due to traffic on event/concert/game days its actually better to leave your car parked at the stadium and walk across the street and eat, by the time you get out from eating you won't have to deal with the mess of people trying to exit the stadium parking all at once. read more

This place is a small joint which explains the long wait, probably about 15 tables so I advise coming on a week night as I did. I've read the mediocre reviews for this place and agree it could be better but overall the fare was still good. The horchata my daughter had was great and wife's mango margarita was good. I ordered the Seis Locos which is a 6pk with shrimp ceviche around and on top of the cans for $40, wouldn't order again just this one time as it was my first visit. They have 3 diff sizes of shrimp cocktails, I ordered the Jumbo for $20. We also ordered a large fish ceviche which could've tasted better at $13. My wife had the garlic shrimp which were overcooked and the rice that came with her plate barely had any flavor $18.99. I feel this place mainly makes business because they're on a busy intersection & across from Toyota Park doesn't hurt either. The food is ok enough for them to stay in business but if it were in a different locale, I think it wouldn't survive. They better get their act together if they want to last long term. read more

OVERPRICED. Good, but all of the mariscos plates were OVERPRICED, which I find pretty typical of ALL mariscos places. The menu looks amazing, the specialty micheladas look amazing and the food LOOKS amazing. Let's start with the sample appetizers that they bring out...very tasty and their green salsa also very tasty. I ordered a regular sized michelada with a small seafood appetizer on top (can't remember the name). The seafood part was really tasty...however the michelada itself...was just OK, tasted too much like tomato juice. Next up, the parillada for 2, pretty good and good sized, but again OVERPRICED. Next we're steak tacos, which were pretty good. So 2 adults (1 Michelanda) and 2 kids (kids sharing a taco dinner) we spent about $70, including tip. So, would I go again...MAYBE if I was in the area, (which I'm usually not), but if I did go, I'd expect to spend a minimum of $50/person if your ordering a drink and seafood. read more

Exciting place to see the amazing plates of seafood roll out of the kitchen. The atmosphere is fun and lively and a Mariachi band showed up when we were leaving. We were there for a quick lunch.

Intoxicated by the scent of grilled meats...I wish I would've visited this place sooner--like so many I've passed this place a number of times and decided to go with hubby and a friend. WOW. Just pulling up into the parking lot made me yearn to go in because it smelled so damn good! After looking at the menu and being able to see the open kitchen--my decision for carne asada was easily made. The place was packed when we got there even on a Sunday afternoon---so that's a good sign. I had the steak taco dinner and my husband had the carne asada al carbon dinner plate and a large horchata to wash it all down with. The amount of meat in the tacos was quite impressive, I opted for the traditional onions and cilantro topping. Very tasty. The steak for the dinner was very well seasoned and came with a lovely package of very authentic home-made looking tortillas, guac, rice, beans, and natural cut looking fries to sop up the steak juices. The green and red salsa were ok but wished it was a tad bit spicier, luckily each meal also came with a side of pickled carrots, jalepenos, garlic, cauliflower. Our friend also had the taco dinner, she had one steak taco and 2 of the pork tacos. She loved it and said the pork tacos were one of the best she'd ever had. The horchata was also very good, not too sweet and not too cinnamony. We took our order to go, but definitely will be back to partake in some sit down dining yumminess. Take out service was quick and efficient. Order was taken promptly and food was hot and fresh.They are open late--so definitely a plus, til 4am on Friday and Saturday, and midnight all other days. read more

My family and I stopped in on a weekday around noon and the service was terrible! The waitresses were unorganized and very rude, one of them even yelled across the restaurant to another server while taking our order. Once our food was brought to the table they did not return unless we called them over. I asked about the Caldos, if they were spicy because I was going to feed it to a baby, and the waitress assured it was O.K YET was very spicy and baby had to eat off of others plates... Food wise- so disappointing! We like to try seafood restaurants throughout the city and this place was the worst. Lack of flavor on the "Nayarit" sauces/seasonings and the Cocteles very bland and tasted of pure Clamato. read more

I ordered a to go order. When I got home the food was terrible, returned it to the restaurant, after everybody that works there told me I was wrong and after I get my money the lady tells me that next time I return food to a restaurant to not open and check the food (is she saying that she's going to resell the food I just brought back from my house) that tells you a lot about this place. Horrible. IF I COULD GIVE NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD!! read more

I really want to like this place but they always manage to do something to mess it up. The quality of the food is inconsistent. The drinks are great. We ordered a meal that came with a RAW SHRIMP on the salad portion of the meal. We told them and they did nothing. Haven't been back since. read more

First off I'll say that the service was good, and chips and salsa verde were very good. After that, it was a very poor experience. The place, in and of itself, is in rather poor condition. It desperately needs some fresh paint and better seating arrangement. We almost walked about because it didn't look "clean". It was definitely, just in poor shape. It didn't help matters much that the menus were in tatters. Also, they had the TVs turned up to 11, so forget about quiet dining. Not a good first impression. The chips and salsa verde they bring out to you gave me hope! But that was quickly dashed when I saw the ceviche my wife ordered. Ground up fish and shrimp? Yeah..... not good. Plus in her first bite she gets a bone, she knew what to expect. The cheese enchiladas and green sauce I got were good, but nothing special. What made them different from other enchiladas was the green sauce. Overall, not a horrendous experience, but it was definitely a very poor one. There are dozens of other places I can go to get better food and a much better (and quieter!) experience. I just wish all their food matched how good their chips and salsa are... The 2 stars are basically for those! read more

Yummmmmm!!!! Great food, fresh, great portion for your buck. Definitely made to order, good flavor.

I passed this place SO many times, it was getting outta hand. Well, we had the itch for dinner and were tired of the same old mexican so figured we give it shot. It was very good. Can out of the gate light though. So, stuck with the taco trifecta. Chicken, steak and pork. Pork was spot on. Tastiest of the bunch by far. All tacos had cilantro onions and lime only. Chicken was a bit dry and flavorless. Steak was well done, almost over done. Didnt like it. Did the half tray of lagostinos and they knock it outta the park. It was excellent. The chick had the chili rellenos. Tasted great. I liked the rice too..had peas and carrots. Run of the mill, buy it by the bucket, sell it by the scoop, beans. Nothing special. They have this micheladas drink, but just couldnt muster us the gumption to try. Tomato juice and beer with shrimp. Maybe next time. Chick said she would give it a shot. Had the small margarita. Wasnt bad. Will be going back. read more
