Mariscos 8 Tostadas — Restaurant in Jalisco

Mariscos 8 is a gem for seafood enthusiasts seeking an authentic Mexican dining experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warm and inviting ambiance. The scent of freshly prepared dishes filled the air, heightening my anticipation for what was to come. The highlight of my dining experience at Mariscos 8 undoubtedly was the empanadas. Crispy on the outside and bursting with flavor on the inside, each bite was a symphony of textures and tastes. Only further complimented by a creamy, and spicy sauce. Whether filled with succulent shrimp or tender crab meat, these empanadas were a true testament to the skill and creativity of the chef. Accompanied by a tangy and refreshing ceviche, featuring perfectly marinated seafood and a medley of fresh vegetables, the meal was nothing short of perfection. Overall, Mariscos 8 exceeded all expectations, delivering a seafood meal that was as unforgettable as it...

This restaurant is a sold 4 star but doesn’t quite deliver enough to be a top notch dining spot. The food is excellent and the portions are generous.

Then they added meat...some type of seafood then poured and opaque solution over it all. They served many, many bowls and it seemed that was what the locals were eating. A few days later and several meals later we went back. I ordered a shrimp and scallop cocktail. Oh my. I believe it has been the best thing I've eaten since being here. Their hours are a bit quirky. They close at 6:00 p.m. They start turning people away at 5:45. Wonderful food,...
