Mariscos Los Cuates — under-the-radar food in Pilsen. The atmosphere is half the draw here. Strong bar program alongside the food, and BYOB. "Great atmosphere, incredible service, and the food is absolutely delicious" — Delaney Pittari

What 63+ diners say about Mariscos Los Cuates

Really good all around. Margaritas were great, mango and tamarindo flavor. Got the seafood empanadas, miche oysters, fish ceviche tostada, and tacos gobernador. Would recommend all of those dishes. Only annoying thing was the bogus 4% “service charge” that many places around town are doing, but can ask for it to be taken off

“I found this place driving by.”

I found this place driving by. They have the best cóctel de camarón I’ve had in years! We tried the empanadas de camarón 10/10! Micheladas mix is also 10/10! Try the one with the paleta. Anyways I’ll be back and I hope you give it a try.

“¡Hay tantas opciones diferentes de mariscos para elegir aquí.”

¡Hay tantas opciones diferentes de mariscos para elegir aquí! Probé los tacos de camarones y algunos camarones picantes y estaban fantásticos. Tons of different seafood options and the prices are pretty great too. They have beers and stuff here but you can also pay an uncorking fee to bring your own alcohol if you want something stronger or different. Overall it's a great atmosphere and a good place to bring friends and family.

“I will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu.”

I will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu. The complimentary mini taco with a shrimp broth was delish and a perfect starter The drinks were on point! The best michelda I’ve had in a while. The shrimp cocktail was loaded with shrimp and octopus! There was also a young band playing to set the mood. This place is a must visit.

“Okay so I’ll start by saying absolutely NOTHING at Mariscos missed the mark.”

Okay so I’ll start by saying absolutely NOTHING at Mariscos missed the mark. We started with guac - simply outstanding. Their sauce collection is nothing short wowing with bottled hot sauces + freshly made options. Prices are amazing. We grabbed the half dozen oysters with shrimp ceviche - so flavorful but seriously a behemoth of a bite in literally every bite. Tried the Salsa Verde Aguachile - spicy fresh and oh so flavorful, this was a highlight from the meal. We also tried micro tostada which had cooked seafood meat. Flavorful but nothing to rave about Place is BYOB - you bring the beer they give you. The Michelada mix and all the fix ins for a good time. The best part has to be the upbeat live music they run 6-8. Mood was jolly, food was incredible and service was impeccable. 10/0 experience - hidden gem level FORSURE

“I had the chance to photograph the menu at Mariscos Los Cuates, and it was such an awesome experience.”

I had the chance to photograph the menu at Mariscos Los Cuates, and it was such an awesome experience! Not only was the food beautifully presented, but I also got to sample a variety of dishes—and every single one was absolutely delicious. From the fresh ceviches every bite impressed me. You can really taste the quality and care they put into their cooking. The portions were generous, and the variety on the menu is perfect for anyone who loves authentic mariscos (seafood). The staff was friendly and accommodating, making my experience even better. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or planning a full meal with friends and family, Mariscos Los Cuates is a must-visit spot if you’re craving fresh, tasty seafood!

“Place is amazing.”

Place is amazing! Anayeli was such a great vibe! Great customer service. Made the experience so fun. We ordered a lime and cucumber and a horchata. Fresh and amazing! For appetizer we had a tostada mixta was to die for. For our main course we had a Chapuzon! Mariacos are on point. I will be back and definitely will recommend this place to anyone. Thank you Anayeli for amazing recommendations and for the great experience.
