Mariscos El Oceano

4.5309 reviews ·Opens at 10AM

Mariscos El Océano stands out for generous, carefully seasoned seafood, especially the fresh shrimp cocktail, spicy ceviche, aguachiles, langostinos, empanadas, and huachinango zarandeado. Regulars praise attentive service, spotless surroundings, plentiful parking, and a lively setting for catching a soccer game, making it appealing for casual groups or repeat visits. Check your bill carefully: some guests report an undisclosed 18% gratuity and other issues with charges or seafood freshness.

The dishes were carefully prepared. LOTS OF SEAFOOD IN EACH DISH. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everything is fresh - for the cilantro/onions to the fresh caldo Must try the green salsa de Chile serrano. The staff was so attentive. Plenty of parking. They played music and the world cup soccer game was playing on the background. Great place to catch a sports game.

Fui a Mariscos El Océano en la Archer y todo estuvo riquísimo. Me pedí el cóctel de camarón y la verdad es que está súper fresco y bien servido. El servicio fue muy rápido y amable. ¡Definitivamente voy a regresar! ¡Muy recomendado!

This was our first time trying this seafood place and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely amazing 10/10. Our waitress was super friendly and always checked in to make sure everything was perfect. We tried the empanadas the shrimp, and the tostadas all fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend!

Ordene un ceviche de camarón. Parece q pedí un ceviche de pepino. No sabía q ahora ay un ceviche de pepino. Por lo q cuesta no vale la pena.

This is my new fav mariscos restaurant. The beans, meat, and ceviche was filled with so much flavor! The restaurant itself was quite clean and well lit. I would recommend this place!! :)
