Mariscos Yucatan Seafood — Restaurant in Houston

Where to start? Ceviche had a ton of cumin, yes there was cumin in there, why? Don’t know.... next time maybe try cilantro, even Thai basil would’ve been better than cumin, half of the plate was cucumber, so the cucumber and cumin mix overwhelmed the flavor of the all day soaking in lemon juice previously frozen mushy micro shrimp... (seriously ramen noodles have bigger shrimps) so, let’s give it a second try, I’ll order some wings.. 20 minutes later of an order of 16 wings, only 8 came out. Flavor it’s pretty good for a seafood place, that has earn them a star... while the 2 girls on duty on a Saturday night are extremely busy, and can’t stand still or find a break, the person whom I suspect to be the manager can stop fixing his belt, hair, shirt, pants, or stop texting. Wonder why he won’t help the girls? Great example of leadership. I asked for the bill and to please remove the half of order of wings that never arrived, a few minutes later the manager introduces himself-“how can I help you” excuse me sir ? Don’t remember requesting your help, how can you help your business? Ill be happy to point it out for you :) for starters, when you approach a table, instead of asking “en que le puedo ayudar” ask how are things going, how’s the food... don’t asume people need your help, because if you can’t help your staff, it’s clear your help won’t be of much use for a costumer either, after bringing all this to his attention, he went ahead and remove the half of the order that never arrived... Ps... bring cash, you’ll be charge extra for paying with...

My wife and I came for lunch. I tried their Crawfish Etouffee with Shrimp. The roux was rather bland in flavor. The crawfish and shrimp in it was cooked well. My wife had asked for the lunch Soup and Salad meal, where she ordered the Lobster Bisque and a house salad with ranch dressing. The Bisque had good flavor and had some crawfish in it. The salad was a standard salad with a lot of iceberg lettuce. The service was disappointing, though. We were two of three customers there when we came. When they brought us our bill, we noticed they had rung us up for a soup and a salad separately, and not the lunch combo. When we asked the waitress about it, she explained she was having difficulty understanding us, and asked the manager to come to our table. The manager brought the menu with her, and we explained that we wanted the soup and salad lunch combo. The manager said she'd fix it, and when she brought the bill, it still had the salad and soup charged separately, which was higher in price than the lunch combo. All in all, with the disappointing food experience, and the very inattentive service we received, we do not plan to return for...

We waited 20 minutes before anyone decided to take our order, not even drinks. The margarita was wayyy too sweet with pretty much no alcohol and it tasted too artificial. I got the Yucateco, too bland. The server didn’t come back to check on us at all. The bus boy had to be the one to pick up my husband’s empty beer bottle and tell the server he needed another one. The ticket in my opinion was too high don’t know if she even charged me correctly. I was annoyed so wanted to leave but I should’ve checked it. Will not be coming back.

Update to my review the above was from a year ago. I ended up back here again 5/11/2025 for mother's day because my mom wanted to se the Tony Luna and Tony Luna Jr. show. The person that took our order was not a server, I believe he was a manager, but said the servers had not gotten here so he would take our order. He was very attentive and friendly the whole time which lead me to change my rating. The food still lacks. But I would definitely come back for Tony Luna and Tony Luna Jr. their show was...
