Marcos Seafood — Restaurant in Houston

Looking for a place in the area, decided to try it for the first time. Everything sounded good and it was slow, happy hour time. Ordered oysters on the half shell, not impressed and I am a fan of oysters. Ordered lunch specials 1 fish (small) 6 medium (not looked small) shrimp with shrimp fried rice. Reasonable price and when they brought it to the table looked great. Nice and hot but sadly no flavor. Not even the shrimp fried rice. A piece of regular bread, toasted that did not look appealing at all. We were very disappointed. Didn’t even finish the plates. Drank our beer, now that was good. I don’t usually like to give reviews but this place was a true disappointment. The exterior landscaping was a red flag, we should have known better... maybe it was just a bad day for...

Marcos is one of the best places to come and get some REALLY fresh Oysters. They are always fresh, clean, and are some of the biggest you'll find in South Houston. I come here, mostly, for that, but they also have some really good fried rice, really fresh fish that you can pick your self to have cooked in almost any style you'd like. The shrimp 🍤 cocktails are also really good. Pretty much everything on the menu is good and always fresh. The service provided by the servers is exceptional, they are always quick to bring you anything you need and are always friendly. The prices are fair. Good place to come...

From looking on the outside you would more than likely pass it up. However, when we walked in it was soooo clean. Even the restroom was very clean with a good smell. Our waitress didn't speak good English, but she was very patient with trying to understand us. The manager came over to translate! The food was really good and fresh. Biggest scallops and calamari I've ever had from a restaurant. The fried rice wasn't dry and u get a good amount. My husband and I ordered a platter to share and a appetizer. We had leftover from both to take home. I will definitely be back, and tell my family...
