Mariscos El Pescador

4.2542 reviews ·Opens at 8AM tomorrow

Mariscos El Pescador stands out for traditional Mexican seafood, from sizzling plates and shrimp empanadas to fish with spicy Nayarit sauce and fiery camarones a la diabla; breakfast fans also praise the handmade tortillas. Its welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and Friday-night karaoke make it lively for celebrations and groups, though portions can feel small for the price and pickup orders may take longer than quoted.

I passed by this location for 2 months on my way to the courthouse for jury duty. Last week I happened to take a different route home & decided to finally try it out. This is THEE spot for fish/seafood lovers. The spicy sauce on the fish was sooo good. Wish i had more for my take home box. I'll be visiting this spot again soon...

5 stars is perfect. This place is very close to 5 stars. It is a lil pricey, but worth the visit. We stop by on Good Friday at 1pm; not too busy. I thought the nayarit sauce was lil too salty for me, but it could just be me. I really enjoyed my sizzling dish, rice, toast, and fries. My wife ordered the shrimp with diabla and it was fire literally and figurely.. also very good but a lil spicy. I think both their nayarit and diabla are spicy but very good. The shrimp empanadas were perfect . Got them as appetizers. Try it out, you will not be disappointed. Tip and all, 4 adults, total was $170.
