Mariscos Nayarit VIP — Restaurant in Carson City

We have lived in Carson City for a long time and there is a Mexican restaurant on East Winnie Lane in a shopping center where Goodwill used to be, that we always go to. It was a hole in the wall but has quadrupled in size and is now unbelievably crowded. And for good reason, their food is delicious. But I saw this new restaurant when driving through town the other day and so we thought we would give it a try. Let me tell you, it is amazing. The chips and bean dip were the hands down best in town. I had pescado rellenos con camerones which is a fish fillet stuffed with shrimp and cheese. And it was to die for.

Chips, salsa 🍅 and beans dip 🫘 were brought to our table right away. There were multiple sauces on the table, including hot sauce and ketchup. I had a chicken burrito 🌯 that had shredded chicken 🍗, beans 🫘, rice 🍚 and cheese 🧀 inside and sour cream, guacamole and pico de gallo on the side. It was a large burrito 🌯. I ate half and took the other half to go. I might eat it for dinner. I would order it again. My husband ordered a large shrimp 🦐 cocktail which came with crackers and lime 🍋, he...

The first thing that struck me was the blaring horn music played in this little cellar of a room on terrible TV speakers. Just totally off-putting.

Their $8 margs are definitely from an over-sweet premade mix. I almost choked on a bone from my chicken enchiladas, then started feeling for them as I ate, pulled out maybe 8 pieces throughout the meal. Not a good experience at all. The shrimp ceviche was fine, and my burrito was big, at least, but bland and uninspired.

There's not a lot of flavor to anything and none of it tasted particularly fresh. And at around $20 for a plate, I can find better...
