Mariscos El Pescador — Restaurant in Lake Township

A hidden gem for Natarit style seafood in the South side of Chicago. I have been coming here for years and bringing my family and friends. It's very busy on weekends, so the best time to visit is on weekdays. They have $5.99 breakfast on weekdays 8-11am. The fish supplier is actually just across the street so all the seafood is always fresh and you can taste it. They also have other traditional Mexican fare like tacos and flautas, but their specialty is definitely seafood. From shrimp and langostinos to Nayarit-style whole Red Snapper and Ceviche tostadas. There are many options to choose from. They even offer a Parrillada wich is served on a mini grill table side. They have a kids menu and a huge selection of beer and cocktails. I recommend the lime margarita and the Michelada with Modelo. They have Karaoke and a DJ some Fridays. From 6-11pm. This is actually the best-priced seafood restaurant in the area and easily top 10 in the seafood category in all of...

First time ever trying this place. Plus+ Its BYOB, no wait to get a table, plenty of parking, they sell Seafood as well as Meats, antojitos mexicanos like Tacos, Tortas, Sopes, not just a Seafood place. Cons- The menu is too large, resulting in them potentially not having what you want. We ordered the Charales, then came back saying they didn't have any. What we did end up ordering was very good. The place is always empty, makes me wonder why? Lol Other places like El Veneno, La Palapa, Las Islas you have to wait to be seated. We went on Saturday night and had the place to ourselves!! I dont know if thats a good sign...
