    Ordered for pick up 2 sides of “salsa de cucaracha” and the charged me almost $17 and cups were half empty and the sauce was bad it was watered down. I called and the response I got was… “ that’s why it’s better to dine in” horrible service and horrible food! Will never go there again.

    The molcajeta was very good! Sauce a little thinner than most but very flavorful. Great combination of seafood served in a 500° lava bowl. The chef came out to make sure I liked it. Fast friendly service at a reasonable price. If your in central Nebraska with a craving for seafood, I would recommend this place. Nice little hole in the wall with a large menu.

    Had a delicious dinner tonight! Saw the great reviews on Google so I decided to give it a try. WOW! Very unique seafood menu and absolutely delicious! I tried the seafood combination fish and lots of shrimp and octopus and crab and scallops, with very tasty sauce! Great friendly customer service too! I'll definitely return!

    Amazing food! Fried Shrimp and crab legs are served in large portions and the seafood is fresh and sooo good! Everything we try here is really good, served quickly, hot and fresh. The service staff is really attentive and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Cool atmoshere! The parking is cramp, and it's hard to get in and out of parking lot if busy, but the food is worth the hassle. A must visit Grand Island restaurant. The menu is really varied and there are so many unique dishes to try, all with a 'Central' American twist. South of the border seafood at its best. Reminds me of the food I sampled in Cabo San Lucas in South Baja Cali. 5 🌟 stars!

    I was so pleasantly pleased with the meals we had chosen. Credit going to my husband. I couldn't make heads or tails of the men, but only because the majority of the food I was not familiar with. I would recommend eating here if you get the chance. We had the smothered or stuffed tilapia. The sauce was amazing and all of the seafood was cooled perfectly! And the salad on the crispy tortillas.... So fresh and delicious!

    Small, family run restaurant, kinda hard to get to and park until you've been there once, then getting there is easy. I have not sat down and had a lunch, but either the shrimp or fish ceviche is spectacular, worth every minute of waiting and penny of cost. I usually get shrimp, XL cupand it comes with 10 or 12 tostados and is enough to have for 2 people, 2 lunches or the perfect amount to make appetizers for 4. The marisco mochahete looks really appealing so when I get a chance to sit down, I'm gonna be all over it. Overall, great little place with many choices of mainly shrimp or fish dishes, but mariscos is in their name.

    After traveling to 36+ countries in the past 2 decades, Nebraska was the last land locked state on earth that I would try sea food. The first time I came, I tried a safe spicy shrimp(I hate shrimp-love flavour/spice) .... it was amazing. the second time I came I pointed to the menu and tried to communicate what I had... and the staff understood that I wanted what ever they wanted to serve me. An amazing full fish tilapia was served to me. I was in Belize or on the coast of Spain again, great experience. The meal started out with a tostada akin to a giant, thick chip topped with an amalgam of diced vegetables and I believe fish. It had a unique, pleasing taste and presentation. Many menu items contain photos to help you know what you are ordering, as the menu is predominantly in Spanish. Besides the Oriental Market/Thai-Lao Restaurant and Noodle House In Grand Island Mariscos ranks in the the top 3 of the bet flavours in my opinion.

    In a word, amazing. Incredible, authentic Mexican seafood joint in the middle of GI. I ordered the molcajete, filled with a spicy seafood stew including langostin, shrimp, squid, octopus, and mussels in a tomato broth. One of the best meal experiences in town.
