Seareinas is one of the best places to enjoy banda music. The food is delicious. Some dishes are Sinaloa style Besides sushi and seafood, different styles, and if you're Sports, fan plenty of tvs around the restaurant with great service

This place was absolutely incredible. Delicious drinks, amazing sushi, and the ceviche was out of this world. Definitely coming back immediately for round two.

Had the best time especially with our server Ximena . She was on top of it! Made sure our table was clean and full🫶🏻

Great food, customer service, and relaxed environment. Carol the Bar tender was outstanding.

Awesome place! On the weekends they have a Marachi band which makes the vibe great. If you don’t like loud music you could always get the side tables. They start with complementary spicy soup which was delicious and you could get more. I got the Ostiones Los Chapitos with the verde sauce and Ceviche con Pescado for appetizers. Both very delicious and well seasoned. (Both are in the picture) For main, I got the Piña Para La Niña which was surprising good! I had no idea what to expect having cheese with pineapple and seafood but it worked! Tacos de Atun Ahumado were also very solid.

Great music and great food. The live music is amazing. This is definitely a must try

Great service and good food Ghilary was great always on top of everything we needed

The food, drinks and service were amazing. I did find too much going on. There was music playing so loud it was hard to have a conversation and then they had a live band playing/warming up at the same time.

Live band, staff was very accommodating, food was delicious and my pineapple drink was yummy.

Sea Reinas is the ABSOLUTE SPOT… Great drinks, the Paleta shot was amazing. Our waitress ROXANNE was awesome, very sweet. 💜💜💜💜💜

Andrés is Amaizing, great service and fast. Food is delicious. Recommended

Amazing experience! 10/10. Food was exceptional and service was even better. Our server Andres was amazing. We are visiting from NC and we will definitely be coming back!

Este Lugar esta a otro Nivel... Es la primer vez que lo visito y definitivamente les puedo decir que regresare... Las porciones de la comida son para no quedar con hambre y las Amigas (Meseras) son buena onda y cordiales... De que regreso, regreso!!! This place is at another Level... It was after my first visit that I decided to write the above review, but I have visited twice since then, it became my Boss's favorite Mexican Sea food place for sure... The food is freshly prepared and the portions are plentiful, you will not leave the place hungry for REAL... Not only the food is great, but the Restaurant is awesome, they hold music events and even Stand up comedy... Enjoy!

Decided to try this place since we had a sitter for the kids. Sabroso! The Miche-Helada Pop was so good and it hit the spot. The Sopa de Mariscos starter was amazing. The crudo was very good; although, the larger octopus chunks were a bit "rubbery." I still ate them...lol. The fried shrimp entrée felt and tasted like being in Mexico. We'll be back.

Amazing! My only complaint was that the Music was wayyy too loud. My ears hurt when I walked outside. The drinks were fantastic and the food was delicious the flavors were authentic (some authentic dishes). My favorite thing was the Mexican sushi culichito roll and the massive Pina colada. I ate the roll too fast and didn't snap a photo.

Really really good sushi. Atmosphere was really loud but really fun so we didn't mind. Drinks were delicious as well, and service was really fast and great. Overall great experience and we can't wait to visit again and bring friends.

We went there on a Sunday (first time going) with our three kiddos and we loved it ! The food was great and the service exceptional! We love the music and the overall atmosphere. We will definitely be going back!

Nice sports Atmosphere. Our server Juana J was on top of every. She made sure that we were Great.

I am in Austin from Chicago and came from seareinas and Pablo is soooooo amazing! He made me feel so comfortable and very attentive. I will come to seareinas every time I'm in Austin.

Excellent mariscos and great service! Andres took great care of us—fast, friendly, and made the whole experience better. Highly recommend!

Chill experience here at Seareinas. Yes, it was during the day but I'm sure at night especially on the weekends it's pumping. Spacious, good music and food. Waiter Andres was excellent!! Tacos de Atun....🤤🤤🤤

Amazing experience, love the music and the choices of alcoholic beverages. The food was amazing . The only thing that set me off was I had my son with me and I assumed I would get a highchair but waited 10 min and just asked but no biggie

Everything was incredible. The oysters were flavorful and tasted fresh . The drinks were all made so beautifully and delicious. The sushi was unique. The music was really loud, but I think it made it more fun, and added to the atmosphere.

The 701 Roll (sushi) and chicharron De Pescado are outstanding. They also give you a caldo at the beginning that it is fire. I love the music, and I am looking forward to coming during the evening on a Friday and seeing what's going on.

Alejandro was a great. Thx. Great food. Great spicy margarita. Great music. Sat out on patio. Very spacious.

The good was completely amazing!!!! Definitely recommend. We were there and they had a mariachi band and the band was excellent as well. It has super chill vibes. Highly recommend!

The ceviche was good and grilled butterfly shrimp. I had an issue with the server. First she acted like she didn't understand ceviche and brought me a bowl of chopped up dry shrimp and every time I tried to get her attention she ignored me I finally shouted and a guest told her in Spanish this isn't ceviche and to fix it.

Daniela Garcia

Julie was our server Sunday night and she provided excellent service. She was bilingual, which made it easy for her to communicate with me and my family. Our food came out in a timely manner, and she made sure we were taken care of and had a great time throughout the night.

carlos Ortega

I have been going to Malavida, mala fama, Glorias , Gloria south and all other places and i aleays come to seareinas because we love Pablo, he is super kind, welcoming…. makes us feel at home. He is the best, and the food he serves us is the best!

Had an amazing experience at Seareina. Our waiter Andres went above and beyond — attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Truly exceptional service.”

My favorite seafood place in Austin. Amazing drinks, sushi, service and atmosphere. Music is very loud (i love that) so is not a place for everyone. Mexican banda all night, strong drinks. You will have a good time.

I recently visited a Mariscos spot in Austin that serves a variety of pacific seafood dishes . While some of the places I tried didn’t quite hit the mark, this one was a standout. I walked in unaware it was Ladies Night, which added an unexpected but fun touch to the atmosphere. We started with the Ceviche Mixto Tostada, followed by the Mayito Roll and Pulpo a las Brasas. The freshness of the seafood was undeniable, and everything was perfectly seasoned and well-portioned. The drinks were also spot on—strong but balanced, and the staff was attentive throughout. The space offered plenty of seating both inside and out, and I found the prices to be quite reasonable for the quality. All in all, I was really impressed by the experience. If you’re in the area, this is a must try . For any one visiting from San Antonio this definitely worth checking out!

Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly, drinks complimented very well. There were two live bands during our time there which were both very talented. Overall, a great experience and atmosphere. If you do not like loud music, go somewhere else, as it does get very loud when the band is playing.

Erika Benitez

The food is amazing, I hear they have a fun atmosphere during weekends/nights. Sat at the bar, the bartender was super great, her name was Yazmin, I think. She was friendly and super attentive. The shrimp seafood boil is such a good deal, it’s a lot for cheap and it’s delicious, recommend! Update: food is still good as ever! Our server was alright. We waited 15 minutes before she came up to us and asked if we were ready to order. Zero customer service. After that, she only stopped by a handful of times to see if we needed anything else. She took forever to bring drinks and food out. We asked another server for a beer and he came back two minutes later, at least some of the staff is good. They had some live music which was amazing. Love it here besides the lousy waitresses. We spent $87 for two, we got a tostada, sushi, a soup, 2 beers, a michelada, 12 lb Louisiana style shrimp. Great deal, good spot to eat with family, a date, friends. Why loud, wouldn’t recommend if you prefer quiet spaces.

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food was awesome. From the time we sat down, we were given a broth as an opener, and then the calamari, and our entre hit the spot... Your servers were amazing and very courteous... Didn't realize seafood/ Mexican infusion was a thing... sushi was off the chain good... Thank you for a wonderful experience....

Tanya Liu, REALTOR

The camarones encabronados are sooo good - a little spicy, a hint of sweet. Excellent ceviche as well, and great cocktails. Live banda on Friday so it was very little loud inside, and unfortunately they had no tables that were quieter, but I loved the vibe.

Love the decor, restroom is also nice, I love the neon lights and the environment is really pretty. You know it’s honestly really good. First time I went I stayed for like 5 hours. Then I went the next day. Went to los dos carnales concert that weekend and we decided to pregame here. I personally don’t like pulpo but lemme say it was A+. Shots are strong and they fill them to a good amount we had ÉRICA as our waitress and the next day I can’t remember her name but she was really good. Oh the michelada is pretty good it has a popsicle in there too. The music was good played different genres. Banda, norteña, cumbias, sonora, Reggaeton, ect.

+3

Go here for the atmosphere and the drinks. Sushi is pretty good but you’ll find better elsewhere in Austin. As others have mentioned, the music is too loud to have a conversation so keep that in mind when making plans

The food was delicious.The service was good. But the restaurant was to dark for the daytime.

Food was good, it wasn't busy so I was able to have my food without a long wait.

Great place for sea food and Banda! Only down is that they down split cheeks. Other than that great place!

We got sat right away when we came into the restaurant. The waitress took our drink order about 10 minutes after we got sat, even though there were only 2 tables more in the restaurant. Right as I ordered the drinks I ordered the app since she took a while to get to us for the drinks. The drinks and app came out on time and the food as well, after we got our food and drinks the waitress kept checking on us and the service got a bit better. The food was amazing, I ordered the Torre de mariscos los pebles and the dish actually all the dishes were a big portion, with my dish we could have fed 2 ppl. All in all the calamari as an appetizer were great and the mariscos were amazing I definitely recommend the place for the food.

Seareinas has some very delicious food and good sizes portions. I’m used to ordering ceviche and getting a few bites out of it but Seareinas gave us a huge plateful! I enjoyed everything we ordered but my only complaint is the incredibly loud music. I could barely hear the person next to me. I understand when the live band is playing but please consider turning the DJ music down just a tad!

Super fun place. Service is very good. Live music is a lot of fun. Food is delicious. Appetizers: Bacon Poppers Combo - 4/5 Boiling Pots: Encabronado Shrimp - 5/5 Food is really good, the boiling pots are delicious. The spice is super tasty. Fun atmosphere.

Have been to Seareinas multiple times. Overall nice place with good music on the weekends/Banda. They have good seafood options and drinks. Definitely recommend their shrimp ceviche. The only downside is that the servers can be rude sometimes and not very attentive or helpful. Besides this I enjoy coming and trying their menu items. Nice place to chill and hangout with friends.

Ordered sushi and spicy mango shrimp (not pictured). Drinks were good with usual live banda music which was very entertaining. The spicy mango shrimp that was ordered very difficult to peel, without much taste as a result. I would definitely return for the atmosphere and to try something different but this time around I wasn’t pleased with flavors of the food. “It wasn’t a wow” -Wife

I have never had Latin sushi before, but it's incredible. I didn't know it was a t🍒tty bar, but I wasnt disappointed! Service was meh, music was really loud, but the food was incredible and the ladies were beautiful.

Marissa Resendez

We tried the chorizo queso and it was very good. The jalapeño poppers and the shrimp were pretty good as well. The atmosphere is definitely something to experiment but the Banda is so loud you can’t even have a conversation at your table. That was disappointing and bring ear plugs, your hearing will thank you.

S. Diaz

Great atmosphere, food was delicious. Stopped by on a Friday and they had live music. I wouldn't recommend bringing children here for late dinners; its' more of an adult atmosphere. Place was super clean, great customer service.

I went there with another 3 people last weekend , atmosphere was very nice we did enjoy la banda we requested about 4 songs singer 10 of 10. Service it was okay - Food not good specially fajita skillet, that skillet was full of onions and peppers beef and chicken was dry lots of little slices shrimps there were okay , we also order the pulpo a las brasas it was okay. I believe every restaurant Quality of the food has to be the number one priority , service i can deal with it .

All the cold food was good all hot dishes lacked flavor and beans tasted burnt

Took my wife there for our anniversary Z The place is nice. 4stars. The DJ playing was a vibe. 5stars. Food was disappointing. Food took aver 35 mins to arrive to our table. Ordered A shareable course for 2. Steak, chicken fajitas with shrimp. Rice on the side. Also ordered a stuffed pineapple with octopus, shrimp and cut pineapple served with a side of rice. Looks good in pictures. Very bland. Rice taste like it was from the day before. Shrimp over cooked. The pineapple course had a very odd flavor.. food definitely not worth 80dlrs. 1 star on food. Dj was a whole vibe. The “banda” playing a whole vide. The downside of it all was that it was extremely loud, you couldn’t have a conversation across the table. Couldn’t hear the waitress either. Ears and head was hurting after we walked out. It’s suppose to be family friendly but I wouldn’t take my kids there. Decibel is ridiculous. Just please lower the music and it better.

Overall the experience was okay. However when we entered the establishment the three hostess were on their phones sitting at a table near by. Because it was our first time we were not sure what to expect, but are frequent customers at her other two restaurants and were alway welcomed by at least one host. Secondly, our server was great but seemed there was a lack of communication between the host and the server that she was given a new table. The drinks were amazing and recommend the Pina Para La Niña!!! It was sooo refreshing. However my Pina Para La Niña meal was good however the cheese was not melted completely.

I was excited to check out this place as it was recommended by several people. I found it underwhelming the food was ok, the atmosphere was ok, and same for the service. I knew it was going to be loud going in but this is on another level of loud. It was hard to communicate with the waitress and any communication between our party had to be done through text because it was THAT LOUD. My friend and I shared their fajitas platter for two, I found the flavor to be ok but the shrimp was super rubbery. I would not recommend the shrimp. I'm glad I tried it out but I won't be back. Also they do add 18% gratuity and don't tell you when they drop off the check I thought that was surprising since it was a party of 2.

Food and ambience are good. I didn't like that we were never made aware that an 18% gratuity was going to be automatically included in our bill, even though we were only a party of 4 people.

Food was great! The lighting is dim inside so I had to use my phones flashlight to see the menu. We were fortunate enough to have a live band perform while we ate! Good food and service. Just a little dark inside is my only complaint.

Los Camarones Encabronados are sooo delicious!! The sauce is spicy and shrimp is butterflied so it’s easy to take shell off. Sushi was good but no wow factor to it. I would say food is very much on the pricey side. Drinks are averagely priced. They have live banda so this place is LOUD at nights. You can barely have a conversation with someone right next to you. Def “get lit” vibes. Wouldn’t come here on a date or when you have tea to spill with your friends. Not sure if it’s still loud earlier in the day but I came here about 2 years ago for lunch and the restaurant music was on full blast. The decorations and colorful lights are cute tho! IF YOU SIT AT THE BAR, BEWARE: I went there with a friend and sat at the bar so maybe that’s why automatically charged us 18% gratuity. I normally tip well so wasn’t mad about it BUT I was kinda surprised they added that without it being disclosed. Too loud to even ask. Like shout out to the bartender for making our drinks but they didn’t even properly serve us. Again, this is a restaurant, not a club. Auto-grat should only be applied to large parties.

Came on a Thursday night at 6:30, and we were seated at a dirty table. Ordered a Pina para La Niña pina colada and the ceviche sampler which were both great. My friend ordered a sushi roll and it was bomb. Unfortunately, did not know there would be live mariachi music, so we could not talk AT ALL! It was So loud, and when we asked if we could move to their outside area the waitress said no. We paid our bill as fast as we could and moved outside to the green area so we could actually catch up. The neighborhood is not great, and while we were out there we had a homeless person come inside the green area to ask us for stuff. Did not feel very safe. Food and drinks were honestly great, but everything else was 👎🏽 won’t be back.

Chris Massara

A very interesting place, it's huge and had a live band playing. Definitely loud, but entertaining. I guess it's kinda like a hispanic hooters, but apparently there are shirtless men bartending sometimes too. The food was great, they weren't offering any sushi but the ceviche and shrimp tacos were both excellent. The margarita was too sweet for my taste but not terrible. Food came out fast. My main issue was we were given larger versions of items without asking. Because we hadn't been there before, I didn't realize we were given the larger items until the check came. That included the biggest margaritas (not a big deal), but they also gave us 2 huge orders of ceviche. It was enough for 4-6 people. For a party of 2, that was clearly too much food and I feel like they were trying to take advantage of us. I always tip 20% even if service isn't the best, but they still gave us an auto 18% gratuity for 2 people. Very unusual.

I came in a few months ago for the first and last time. There was live music going on and it was ridiculously and dangerously loud. I had tinnitus (ringing in my ears) for about six weeks after that. Fortunately, it went away, but my hearing hasn’t been quite the same since. I was on a date and didn’t want to seem difficult so I stupidly stayed for the full meal. I also remember seeing a woman carrying a baby trying to cover their ears, seemingly upset at her partner for sticking around too. The only reason I came back to post this is that a couple days ago, I went to Gabriela’s South. There was live music and it was also stupidly loud. I left soon after. But I found out Seareinas and Gabriela’s have the same owner. So, to the owner of these two establishments: Woman, I appreciate what you’re doing. Love the bad bunny catch phrases in neon. Love the plants. Love the pink all over. Food could use some work, but the ambiance is fun and celebrates our culture. But, for the love of god, apply some common sense with the volume.

Been waiting for this place to open. Went during their soft open, and was very disappointed. We tried a sushi roll, some calamari and some ceviche. The ceviche was good the other two I would bit recommend. We tried 3 bites of the roll and the rest was left for trash. Considering the price for each item we expected tasty food. I had one house margarita because they don't serve wine, and friend had 2 beers. The bill was almost $90 bucks without tip. Waitress was sweet and deserved her 20% tip. Came home and made a sandwich because most of the meal was not edible. Hopefully they will get better with time. The place is set up really nice and menu is interesting. Probably will give them another try after they've worked out the kinks.

We came from Houston and saw this place and wanted to try it out. The vibes were good and music was good but the service needs improvement. From the start hostess looked like she didn’t want to be there. We get to our table wait about 5 mins and our waitress comes to ask our drink order. We hadn’t even gotten menus-she got the menu from the table next to us. My drink too way too long while my husband was already half way done with his beer. The food could be improved. We ordered nachos and camarones belicos and the sauce was way too thick on it and it just wasn’t that great. The pricing for the nachos was also off on the menu compared to what I was charged when i brough this up the only gave a $2 discount. Once we got the check was what ticked me off a bit because it was only two people dining and we still got charged between 15-20 Gratuity. Which explains why they can care less how your treated since they know they getting a tip. I would have loved to come again but the service needs major improvement.

I didn't eat bc it was late and there wasn't anything on the menu I wanted....the mojito was filled with syrup. Maybe daytime/dinner it's better..... Skate at your own will

We were seated right away, but waited 25 minutes for the server(Ximena C). They had to get her from the back. We got drinks, but then had to hunt her down again for any service waited another 15 min. In the end, we just left. Been there before food and vibe is good 👍

Our drinks were so pretty and tasted good! I was so excited to try the sushi, as I have heard good things. When I tried to order the sushi, our waitress said there was only 2 sushi plates available put of the 10 listed. I settled for the 'suchilote steak;' it was horrible. Plating was unappealing and it didn't taste fresh. The piece of steak inside of the sushi was TINY. Not worth $17. I would come here on a night out, but not to eat. Do with this information as you will.

Food was Absolutely trash!!!!! The service was horrible. If I could give 0 stars I would My boyfriend and I were about to leave when I when I was stopped and pushed from leaving by a man and women of the staff. I was short of less than $8 and my boyfriend was under the impression he cleared the bill. My boyfriend had to go to an atm to pull out money while they held me hostage! Unbelievable! Never go here they treat you like a criminal. I’ve never been so insulted and humiliated at a restaurant! No person has the right to push or touch a customer. Talk to me but don’t touch me.

Nor much good to say. Lived music was ok, a little loud for 2pm and the 10 people that were there. We both ordered fajitas, neither one of us could eaven take more than a couple of bites. Food was horrible. Each paid 35 for pretty much just s beer and bad taste in my mouth.

Have attempted to try this place out a couple of times. Each time there wasn’t a hostess up front. The wait time and and not knowing if we would ever be seated was insane. People waiting in front of us decided to leave as they had been waiting longer than us. The music in that place was extremely loud!!! Loud to where you can’t hear each other talking and standing next to each other. Place looks so dirty and disorganized that the waitstaff looked more interest in listening to the overly loud music than seating and attending the tables. I understand having music and what not but a full blown concert style band on stage blaring horns and drums as loud as you bring it!?? People looked lost and had no idea what’s going on as they are waiting to be seated. I’ll never know what the good was like because we’ve never made it that far. I guess they are catering to a certain type of crowd and I’m not sure what that crowd is. Cut back on the music and serve food and let people enjoy a nice dinner without having your eardrums busted. Place needs to really reevaluate their business model. We will definitely never go back and we will make the drive to San Antonio to enjoy great Mexican seafood and an enjoyable experience. Truly disappointed in this place.

The white security guards just started patting down my husband who is not white without his consent. Both of us were wearing baggy clothes, but he chose to single out my husband and didn't wait for an OK before putting his hands on his pants. I hope he gets some better training so this doesn't happen to anyone else.

This place is disgusting, save your time and money. Can’t have a decent conversation with the loud music they blast or band playing. Servers walk around like they own the place and don’t attend you if they don’t like you. We waited for 20 minutes and just decided to leave after 3 servers passed our table. Not family friendly, more of a club than a restaurant. Everything you can think of wrong with this places is pretty much in line with how you are treated.

Came from Dallas to celebrate my daughter and she wanted to check this place out. Band was way too loud, and this was at 6:pm. We could not have a conversation and she was sitting right next to me. We had a table for 6 and ordered different plates and none of the plates were good at all. Food had no flavor. They charge you for everything. We ordered a drink, and it came with a lime wedge, and they charged us a dollar for it. Who does that? And yes, they add 18% on any order. If you love loud music and lots of TVs to watch sports. This is your spot. If you want good food and a place to be able to have a conversation. Stay away!

Extremely too loud. I mean way too uncomfortably loud. I could barely think straight. I had to leave because it was too painful to stay. As soon as I walked out to the parking lot, my ears were ringing heavily! I'm sure there are quality servers and awesome food, but I could not enjoy it.

If I could give this review a zero star I would! To begin with There was no hostess. we had to wait at least 20 minutes before we even got asked how many people the table was for , waitress was rude she just said “”there’s no hostess”, then when we got seated waited another 20 minutes for anyone to come to our table . There were probably only 3 waitresses in the whole restaurant. Finally flagged someone down, we just wanted to order since we had already gotten drinks at the bar. My son in law ordered oysters & (he ended up getting food poisoning, ) Super, super loud with the band that’s playing! If you want to talk with the people you’re having dinner with , you can forget it because it is sooo loud!! Service was bad , food was even worse! everything was awful!! but since they automatically add that 20 % gratuity I guess they figure they can afford to give horrible service & food! We were in a hurry for my son’s graduation, if not I definitely would have had to make a scene & had them take it off! Will never come back & anyone that reads this , don’t waste your money or time. I heard this place was fun & had good food , total opposite!!!

Went there last night with my brother and aunt. Everything was fine until we got the tab. The waitress told me we had to close out and I just gave her my card ( my fault for not waiting for the itemized receipt) she tried to charge me $180 for 6 drinks. After she charged my card I noticed it was too much! Then I asked for an itemized receipt. The waitress had a hard time giving it to me. When she finally did I saw she charged me for 2 meals when we didn’t even eat. They charged me more because they thought I wa not going to notice. The waitress said she was sorry and that’s it. Check your tabs!!!

If you want good food and good service, avoid this place at all costs! I went with my family for a graduation, and there was a long wait, so we decided to sit outside to be seated faster. We were not aware that being seated outside meant that we would not have a waitress and would need to go to a “window” anytime we needed to order. A 20% gratuity is automatically added to a tab for parties of 5 or more people, even if you decide to sit outside where full service is not provided. I asked to speak to the manager because it seems absurd to be charged a 20% gratuity when sitting outside. The manager was rude, and barely spoke English. He could not explain why, and we were forced to still pay the added on gratuity. I would not be going back.

Horrible service; not sure if staff changed but I used to really enjoy coming. My husband ordered oysters and they were covered in dirt which was a major turn off. Not to mention the waitress was rude (whole staff as well) and barely came to check on us. After already being ignored at a table for 20 min. We didn’t get everything that we ordered, although they were quick to demand a 20% tip. The Banda is aight, but that might have changed also cause they didn’t sound as good as I remember 🥴

HATE that the music is SO obnoxiously and dangerously loud at all times and day of the week. I get weekends because of the bands but during the week I’ve been wanting to go with my 2 babies and can never go with them because the music is extremely loud it’s insane. If the music was to a regular standard this place would get my 5 star review because I love the food there. Please turn down the music at least during the week for clients that have families that would like to go.

Don’t come here if you’re with your family. We asked for a table for 6 & 3 kids. There was a 15min wait so we waited in their waiting area shown in the picture. After a few minutes one person from our party went to the bar for a drink. Then after 30min of waiting we noticed everyone else getting seated before us so we asked when we would be seated. To our surprise the manager & host assumed the entire party was taken care of when ONE PERSON from the party went to the bar… I know makes NO SENSE. I was super excited to come try out this new place.. my family loves Banda & Mariscos but the service for families is horrible. The manager pretty much nos corio & just told us to leave so we left.

Wanted to try this place but as soon as I stepped in the place music/live band was sooooo loud!! Uncomfortably loud

We were really looking forward to a fun girls’ night out and specifically came for the advertised Tuesday event with the shirtless bartenders. We even called ahead and were told things would get going after 8 PM, so we arrived around 9:30 PM. Unfortunately, the event hadn’t started at all. We were told it couldn’t begin because there were still kids present and some guests had just been seated. It was disappointing, especially since we planned our evening around this experience. We were excited, but it just didn’t happen as expected so we decided to leave.

9:40-10:40pm on 7/1/25 me and 2 buds got charged extra draft each that they didn’t bring us, why would I lie about a $20 charge on beer with a $180 ticket. Then I presume the manager it was I talked her excuse was, I have to pay my employees, and it would take over 30 mins to get on the cameras to see if we were lying (which we weren’t it’s $20) don’t go here they don’t know what there doing. Shoutout to the cooks seafood boil was great that’s about it. Also we asked for dressed beers and they gave us just a lime with it…

My review is towards percentages being charge on your bill without being notify and told before ordering. Most restaurants charge you an automatic 20% if it’s a party bigger than 6 people. This place charges that 20% with 5 people ( kids are included in the count). Apparently if you spend more than $150 dollars you get an 18% automatically added to your total, regardless if it’s just 2 people. That right there is something I am against because some of the waitresses don’t even come back to ask how things are going because they know they’re getting that tip. No where in the menu or restaurant does it state that you will be charge a percentage if you spend more than $150. This place thinks everyone is drunk and not going to look at their bill? Never coming back is a ripp off, if you want to go be prepared to spend double. Also if you order a drink at the bar they also automatically add the tip. I talk to a manager named Julie which was no help, she took me over to a register said automatically a 18 % is added said that was the rule. I was like what rule? who came up with that? no explanation started having an attitude with me and I never got an explanation instead she send the security guard. She has no customer service manners.

Dining experience was extremely disappointing. The customer service was absolutely terrible. The person who I believe is the manager, is 4 ft with insane attitude for someone his height. To make matters worse, the restaurant was unbearably loud. It was nearly impossible to have a conversation. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience. There are plenty of other restaurants that offer better service and a more enjoyable ambiance.

Terrible restaurant food are insipid a cocktail of shrimp with 4 shrimp taste 🤮 aguachile full of cucumber,pulpo a la parrilla full of horrible pasty rice very bad food. Service is bah

Terrible Service and Declining Food Quality I'm really disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. What used to be a reliable spot for a good meal has gone downhill, and the service was shockingly bad. From the moment we arrived, we were seated at a dirty table that hadn't been cleaned. We had to ask for napkins and clean it ourselves. Our waitress was inattentive and seemed annoyed whenever we asked for anything. It felt like since gratuity was already included, there was no incentive to provide decent service. The food quality has also declined significantly. It's sad to see a place that once cared about its customers now treating them with such indifference and attitude. We were just trying to enjoy a meal out, but this experience was far from enjoyable.

What a wild experience from the start. I have never in my life been to a restaurant that the music was so incredibly loud. No sooner did we sit down we made the decision to order our food to-go. The food was not bad, but y’all gotta know you’re running customers off with this. Do better.

I wanted to give them a try Called 8 times no one picks up the phone and it’s early in the day. Great way to push away customers. Do better Been to Seareinitas and have had great experiences over there both in person and over the phone But this place which I thought would be a similar experience was much worse. Go to Papasitos or Papadeaux don’t even bother calling.

Ordered tinga enchiladas but substituted the chicken for beef. Order was brought and it was chicken tinga… not beef as I wanted. Worse part was there wasn’t even chicken…. Just chipotle sauce and sautéed onions. Music was soooo loud I couldn’t even talk 😭 Layout was pretty and the agua fresa plus mangonada drink was good. But that’s it.

This used to be one of my favorite seafood spot because of drinks and food. I have been here plenty of times, but this, by far, was the worst experience ever. It's a shame because the drinks and food here are delicious. Food is flavorful (spicy) and always has an impressive neat presentation. The female in the red is the manager, maybe also a server. As you can see by the look on her face, she walks around with a rude attitude and acts so arrogant. My husband tried waiving her down because we had been waiting for about 20 minutes without service. She made eye contact with him, she ignored him, and walked a circle around the restaurant just to make it back to the computer station to gossip. We had an ugly unprofessional confrontation because she didn't like me taking a picture of her. They add a 20% gratuity to your bill even if your party isn't large. I don't have a problem with that. I understand the service industry, and a lot of customers don't know how to tip. But if you're gonna demand an automatic tip, the least you can do is provide decent service. Get better management.

Came all the way from Houston to eat here. I’ve been a fan of Gabriela for a long time and have been to many of her other establishments and have had great experiences. However, I guess the service level at this particular restaurant has been looked over. Walked in and saw the sign to wait to be seated and waited 10 minutes to even be noticed. The girl who finally sat us didn’t even offer menus, water, or even a greeting. All she asked was “Table for how many? Ok. Follow me.” then proceeded to sit us next to the dirtiest table at the restaurant. Waited about 10 more minutes. Still no water, menus, or waitress. I could understand if they were busy but they only had a few tables in a practically empty space. Super disappointed as this restaurant had been on my list to try for about a year now. You’d think that with all the instagram posts they’d at least try to live up to the hype. I’ve included photos to show how slow it was.
