Mariscos El Kora — Restaurant in Lake Township

BEWARE! PRICE INCREASE for CRAB LEGS!!!🦀 You gotta try the Mar (7 seas) soup sooo good!!

The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because they increased their price for the crab legs. Used to be $50 and now it's $70!!! If they increase it any further sadly I will no longer be buying crab legs from here.

With that said, when I order the crab legs they are always delicious and consistent with how many they give, usually 6-8 crab legs. I've ordered them spicy before and non-spicy with just butter and both ways are absolutely tasty. However I prefer it with the spice! 🔥

I've also ordered their prawns or langostinos de Nayarit, half a platter for $24 and it was a great portion for 2 people. I highly recommend these, they are so tasty we were sucking them dry! Great flavor!!

I've tried their jumbo shrimp ceviche (crudo de camaron) and this never disappoints either! Very good.

They also give you some limes and bags of tostadas with your order. They won't give you any chili/spicy sauce on the side unless you request it.

For this entire order of crab legs, half platter of prawns, and jumbo ceviche came out to $139.

I just hope they don't increase their prices anymore otherwise they'll be losing a customer.

UPDATED review for 2025:

Came back for the new year to dine in, for appetizers they serve a complimentary tuna ceviche ona tostada with two salsas, it was very good! For dinner, we ordered the Mar (7 seas) seafood soup it was absolutely delicious!!! Comes with catfish, prawns, crab leg, octopus, scallop, mussels, shrimp and a side of buttery garlic bread so soft and yummy when dipped in the broth. And cilantro and red onion for garnish. Highly recommend!!! Very flavorful and delicious. Very generous portion.

We also ordered the huachinango with Diablo sauce which is a deep fried red snapper!!! So tasty. The Diablo sauce had the thick consistency and was very spicy!! 🔥🔥🔥 Comes with rice, a side salad and some crispy fries, huge portion!!! They also have other options for red snapper like grilled if you don't want it fried and garlic flavor if you can't handle spice.

We also ordered langostinos de Nayarit which are always tasty and our go to, and I recommend!!! For drink, I like their aqua de piña which is the pineapple fruit drink, light and refreshing!

Great customer service very polite and professional. When we dined in they served us quickly and checked on us often to see if we needed anything....

What an Awesome take out experience today thanks to RAMON an employee there! This was my first time visiting though I was coming in for The 7 Seafood Soup. I had tried it at my Aunts house the week before brought from here. I knew I wanted something additional to the soup but didn’t know what. So when I enter the Restaurant immediately I’m greeted by RAMON and I tell him It’s my first time here and I won’t be sitting down, my order will be take out. I thought that would be the last of our interaction and would be pointed to the take out. He did point me to the TAKE OUT but also offered his services to DESCRIBE the other dishes that I might not be familiar with. I actually wasn’t familiar with A LOT OF THEM. RAMON patiently described the Stuff Creamy Pineapple with Seafood and said it was also a top favorite (I was actually already sold on my 2nd dish to order out at this point! lol “. He continued to describe many of the other dishes with so much passion and patience. He went ABOVE and BEYOND servicing this TAKE OUT ORDER PATRON! After me placing my order and waiting, RAMON once again displayed His Awesome Customer skills. He approached me with a little sample of the MOST DELICIOUS AGUA FRESCA to try! He mentioned it was made with Pineapple and a little Cucumber, wow that was so Refreshingly Delicious! So when I get home first thing I try is THE CREAMY STUFF PINEAPPLE. OH MY GOODNESS, it was everything RAMON described! So Kuddos to MARISCOS EL KORA and AWESOME TENTATIVE employees like RAMON that go ABOVE and BEYOND in making even a Take Out Experience like a 1st Class Dining Experience!!! So if in doubt what to order, make sure you ask for RAMON who is so Amazingly helpful in describing all the dishes! p.s. the photo was TAKEN AFTER I finished eating all the grilled bread and most of the rice. I couldn’t eat all the Seafood, but so happy about that. Now I got leftovers...

Food is great I used to always go there almost every weekend and took our own beer never had a problem and never told us anything till Today. I dropped off my mom today at the restaurant with beers mind me that I believe they saw the beer,I’m not sure, but waitress didn’t say anything until she opened it. The waitress asked her if she bought it from them or brought them from outside; she said it was hers. well the waitress said she wasn’t allowed to do it since this place isn’t BOYB anymore. They told her they put a sign up 6 months ago on fb (we don’t even check or follow their Page) how would we know. well the post says they will start selling alcohol great! But it never says it’s not BYOB anymore. I googled the restaurant and it still says it’s BYOB. If you don’t want your costumers to bring their own beers take it off google ! Avoid the embarrassment for your new policy taking off google not only Facebook! My mom was embarrassed and told to not drink and Throw the beer away. Problem was fixed because she refused to eat there and walk away but they told her for this time she could drink it and stay GREAT THANKS FOR THAT . NEXT TIME AVOID THE EMBARRASSMENT FOR US AND CHANGE YOUR GOOGLE POLICY AS WELL ! Not only Facebook posts...
