Mariscos el general: Reviews & Ratings
Wow!! Found the right place for mariscos!! Fresh taste, no fishy taste or smell!! That's how it's done, flavor at it's best!! Not sure why such low stars because I'm telling you this place is so delicious!!! The ambiance is banda and mariachi! Loud but family, fun with a great vibe!! Wanted to dance but they don't have a dance floor lol The service from start to finish was great!! Aracely was friendly and attentive, smiling and not overwhelming when checking up on us to see if we needed something!! Everyone there has a great vibe! So much food going to tables, it's crazy!! You have so many choices and can't decide, menu is very extensive and everything looks so good. We ordered aguachile (red/green with medallones) omg!! So delicious not over done, if you know you know that aguachile shouldn't be cooked all the way, just lemon and spices/sauces and that's it!! No fishy taste, it was fresh and I was so surprised because I always end up tasting the SEA/Ocean lol and even no smell!! How tasty!! My husband ordered coctel de camarones and it was huge and tasty too! He says "I think I overate " lol no duhhh it was huge. The bacon wrapped jalapeño with cream cheese were so good too!!! Oh almost forgot, the cantaritos with tequila are so refreshing!!! Not overwhelming with tequila, it was so good and just a small one was enough for me lol Try this place and don't let the low stars fool you because this place is a gem!!
Food was delicious came out fairly fast even though it was full. Seafood was fresh ordered a Cantarito it was okay but too expensive for a 1liter $35.00 I didn't even get to keep the cup.
Aracely was a great server! food was fresh and good especially on a hot day !!! We had guac and three tostadas!
Wonderful atmosphere great ambiance, good food and service. The con is that they automatically charge you a tip and credit card fee if using your card. I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp which were great and the Chile verde aguachile with shrimp which were also wonderful and spicy, I recommend these. Others ordered the flautas which were ok. The Margarita drinks we ordered were weak for $10 each. They do have entertainment here but no dance space. Not sure if I would come again even though most restaurants are doing the same thing. This is the only reason I gave 4 stars.
Food is very delicious but takes forever to arrive in your table! Speakers are way too loud
Not sure why this place has bad reviews. I came, given the language barrier (my waitress spoke very little English, and I spoke some Spanish), my experience here it was beyond expectation! Food quality is amazing. I had to refrain from ordering a bunch of menu items. Takes me back to being in Mexico. I ordered pina culichi and boy or boy, was it goodddddddd!!!! I also love that when I order Jamaica / hibiscus...it was a huge size that arrived to my table! Definitely coming back here for their lunch special. Bunch of menu items for $9.99! My waitress Nicole was awesome. She was always there when I needed something!
