Anytime I travel to Tyler I eat at Mariscos. Great authentic Mexican food! Food is delicious and the waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. Can’t wait for my next trip back.

Absolutely loved it, best fish we had so far that is authentic and no question of it's freshness. I had a full fish cooked and my son had the grill steamed seafood mix in garlic butter.

Awesome place to eat and drink. I highly recommend the Villa Style Fish tacos. (They melt in your mouth). Also for adults only ask for the Candy Apple shot or margarita. Great tasting drink to close the meal out. Fridays and Weekends are awesome for the live music. The owner is usually on duty and does not mind coming over to make recommendations, BUT the whole waiting staff has been knowledgeable on the menu items. Once my friend even received a free shot for his birthday. Anyway HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Every visit to Mariscos DJs had always been great! Love the Mariachi band. They have lots of great tasting frozen margaritas and the service is always on point. I usually get the #37 Parillada Gorjito. It has shrimp, octopus, fish & green lip mussels shelled & 1 talapia. It's enough for 2 people, but it's just as good for leftovers the next day!

I really was amazed. Portions are good. Prices are great and the flavor is delicious. I was happily shocked at first bite.

I’ve been doing at this location over 20 years ago. I have moved 3 times since I first experienced this authentic Mexican seafood restaurant. I drive from Canton area now. DJ Marisco is The #OGMexicanSeafood ! It’s like McAllen’s Blue Shell - only lots closer. All of DJs restaurants are great - the food is fresh and delicious- prepared perfectly!

Best tacos in town, and OMG the mango Margarita 😋, love the beef tacos Villa style. Always great service and very clean place, the chips are fresh too.

Just by walking in the door you're taken away to another country. The colors, the music. The energy. All so beautiful and festive. But let's face it, we go out to eat for the food. Let me tell you this place does not let you down. I hope if you're coming here its for true Mexican food or seafood, or in this case Mexican style seafood because that's what you're gonna find. From the very start when they set the fresh fried chips and homemade green salsa on the table I knew it was gonna be good. It just kept getting better and better as the dishes we ordered just kept coming to the table. Hot, and fresh. The big seafood platter is amazing. Number 33. It was a variety of flavor and the price can't be beat. Oh to wash it down the beer Rita was dressed with so much flavor and was to die for. Really. You have to try this little gem tucked away over on Erwin St.

One of the best seafood restaurants in Tyler, Tx. Locally owned and operated for many generations. This is Tyler’s staple, however ir is less known as Don Juan’s on the Square and the Original. If are lucky and get Juanito to be your server order a margarita and he will make you the best one in East Texas. I have had enjoyed most of the menu items: from Surf and Turn and whole fried fish to incredible tacos and ceviche. It’s impossible to pick out what is better, it’s what you feel like that day or evening. Support local!

I don't know what insolent fools gave this place a 1 Star rating, but I'm in Love. The Camaranes la Diabla simply wonderful. If you need to clear your sinuses and forget about last week. This dish with the margarita in the picture will end all your worries and transport you to a beach side bar in paradise. I'll be back.

The best authentic Mexican food I've had in Tyler TX, very nice staff. Atmosphere is very positive. Seating is adequate. Prices are cheaper than some fast food places. The ingredients are high quality and that shows up in the taste.

Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food was delicious, the mixed ceviche and the mixed fajitas. Service 0 Star We were 4 people and the waitress only placed a basket of chips I called her to order, she told me that she was coming to the table but it took 10 minutes because she preferred to continue organizing the account books We asked for 2 additional plates to bring them along with the food and he gave us wet plates that we had to ask for napkins to dry the dishes because they only place the napkins in which they roll the cutlery. The service was poor Price Very good

It's... OK. The seating does not feel/is not private or secluded. What I mean is it feels like they stuffed as many chairs and tables in the center area as they could to get as many people in possible, it feels like you need to squeeze by people when needing get up to use the restroom or leave. The plate I got which was a garlic shrimp type order was a bit flavorless. Maybe I should have got something else but it didn't really wow me. That being said I probably won't be back here unless someone else maybe invites me or I decide to maybe give it a second try.

This is the real deal! Had the Big Steve Margarita with the candy straw. Perfectly made, but limit two. Guacamole was excellent compliment to the Shrimp and Fish combo ceviche. Plenty of flavors to explore, known for their soups.

Very run of the mill Mexican food, nothing super noteworthy, but it wasn't bad! The environment definitely felt more barsy, not like it was really built to just have meals

It's a restaurant that could be good. But needs work and better cooking, recipes. To start, the Tamarind margarita is not worth being charged $12. Just not that good. The Green salsa served with chips is okay, but watery. Need to give a Red salsa with the chips also. Got a Shrimp cocktail as a starter. Way too sweet. Needs a better base of a good bloody Mary mix. But plenty of Shrimp given in it. I got the Shrimp & Fish soup. Was good, bit heavy on the paprika in that broth base and in the soup they put unpeeled shrimp. So had to peel shrimp as I'm eating my soup. Need to put peeled shrimp in soup. Our other dish was the Grilled Tilapia and Shrimp. Tilapia way over cooked, dry. Plus no sauce? Flavor or seasoning. Please cook bit more gentle plus put a butter cream sauce with maybe sauteed jalapeno or cilantro on it. Shrimp we're good. Just need to work on details. Now comes our biggest TexMex issue. Why does every Mexican restaurant serve Beans & Rice? How about a side of sauteed fresh vegetables instead. A little side Mexican flavored salad or coleslaw? Not that hard and be a better plate served to the customer. I'm willing to come back in a few months, see if anything has changed. I hope so. Restaurant has potential if menu items and recipes fixed, improved on.

Atmosphere is great. The waitress took her time getting our order. The shrimp had no seasoning and my beans and rice were cold. We also were never asked if we needed refills for our beverages 😒

Worst food ever!! Absolutely amazed that people go eat here. The margarita was awful!! When the food finally came after 30 minutes, to our table of 8, my dish and one other was wrong. I ordered a cheese quesadillo with rice and beans. The rice & beans weren't even luke-warm. The salsa was hottest I've ever had, almost couldn't eat it. The flour tortillas were horrible. Nobody's food was good, not even the guacamole or enchiladas. Just a really horrible experience. $75 for 2 really crappy meals.

Friday August 8th 2025. We received the worst service ever. My wife and daughter had to get up and go to the hostess to see if we could get a refill on our drinks. Then an hour later when we finally received our food, i told the waitress "we never received our appetizer ". She said oh they are still making it. What ? For a queso dip ??? When the rest of the table got the meals my baby daughter asked wheres my food ?The waitress forgot to order her kids meal. It was just a circus show there. When we told the manager he just brushed us off like customers dont matter. Customers service should be the #1 priority. When they run out of customers they wont have to worry about a business anymore.

Our first time coming here, walking in it appears dark, poor lighting or not all the lights on. But that's not the only reason we won't be coming back here, I was served BAD raw oysters, they smelled and tasted BAD, I ate ONE and it was at that point I realized. He ordered steak fajitas and then a fish/fries kids basket for my daughter. Food presentation, lighting, chips/salsa, and the inability to safely serve ANY kind of seafood is the reason we will NEVER be back. I don't know why Google isn't letting me upload pictures to this review, but as soon as I get it figured out I'll be uploading the pictures of the bad oysters. We STILL paid for our entire order, including the bad oysters, the ability to pay for our meal has never been a problem, what's concerning is that there is NO possible way someone in that kitchen did not KNOW these oysters were bad, just the visual appearance and smell should of indicated they were bad. The only reason I had even ONE was because I wasn't paying attention, waitress just sat it down, was talking etc. I don't know how this place has all the 5 star reviews it does. *Update* I figured out how to upload pictures, In one of the pictures I had removed the oyster off the shell to get a better picture of the shell as well. I've ate oysters many of times, love oysters and have never seen any that look as gross as these.
