Mariscos San Juan 2 — Restaurant in San Jose

Best mariscos in all the Bay Area, except for possibly the Peruvian restaurant in Half Moon Bay. Pretty much every time I get the Tostada Mixta -- their best deal. It has ceviche on the bottom, then camarones y pulpo stacked real high for the price. It's best to have avocado added, for an extra dollar or two. Then order a jamaica in the big glass (de vidrio), not the plastic glass. Very high in antioxidants. The pulpo is almost always (Once in over 50 visits, there was a new woman working and it was tough. That was over 7 years ago.) cooked perfectly. Their shrimp, as well, is high quality and pristine, with no veins or tail remnants, ever.

Mexican League soccer is normally on, when they're playing. Chivas (de Guadalajara) or Cruz Azul (de DF) are represented, not America (de DF). Don't wear America logo or they'll take longer and charge more. What's never made sense to me is I thought San Juan was in Michoacan, but haven't observed either Morelia or Patzingan represented. Wouldn't wear either of those shirts, because it's 50:50 whether you'll pay an extra $5 or so per person, plus...

I used to go to this place because it was really good and they had great customer service. I told my husband about this place of how good it was and he decided to give it a try. His words when we left were, "that place disappointed me".

It's rare when the parking gets full since it's a small parking lot. The outside looks beat up and like a place you wouldn't want to be on your own. The inside has a lot of tables, but the many times I have gone, I have never seen it packed. The chairs and table need to be changed out completely because of how outdated they are.

The waitress that helped us had an attitude. Once the food came out, she didn't bother to come back and ask if everything ok. When we were done, we had to go up to pay because she wouldn't bring the check.

The food wasn't good at all. My son got fish and chips, it was dry and only 1 piece of fish. The rice on another plate was dry with no flavor. The coctel de camaron was ok. The...

I really love this place!! I would come every week if I could but my husband just doesn't love seafood as much as me. My favorites here are their fish plates with garlic, and ceviche. The staff are very friendly towards me and some are very genuine with their smiles. They also check in to make sure everything is good but I'm comfortable enough to walk up and ask too. There is a ton of seating in front, and back, and to the side and is often full of people (but not packed). There is even a jukebox that people use regularly. They also are well stacked with sauce it makes me so happy. Even if it's just the shrimp tacos we come in often and enjoy the amazingly high quality food and atmosphere for an...
