Mariscos Playa Escondida

Looked up a place for mariscos and found his with good reviews so came in. It’s a lil hole in the wall but pretty legit, food was overall pretty good. The preparadas where ok, good but not great in my mind. But the Aguachilies where bomb, they ask you from 1 – 10 in hotness I got 5 was good, and still a bit hot, the tacos gorbarnardo or how ever you say it are good as well, nice and cheesy, also with rice wich I think is a first, but a overall pretty good spot to eat

Love love love love love this place! A little hole in the wall kind of place that serves delicious food for cheap! The place is in the very corner, you might miss it if you don’t really look for it. I have been here a few times, for lunch and dinner. The staff is super quick and friendly, we were always seated right away (except once when they were busy), they brought out waters and chips and salsa as soon as we sat. They play live music on weekends I think, could get a little loud when you are trying to have a conversation but fun at the same time.
Always order their prepared oysters which comes with shrimp and octopus ceviche on top! Sooooo good every time! Another favorite is their empanadas, the stuffing is delicious, the empanadas are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, the sauce that comes with it has a nice kick to it but not crazy spicy! Perfection!
Shrimp cocktail is also really good! I feel like everything on their menu is good, the fried fishes with different sauces you can choose, their shrimp is also really good! They have different sizes of seafood platter to choose from, a small can feed up to 4 – 5 people and it comes with everything you could ever want!
Their michaladas are awesome! Large cup with seasoning on the rim, comes with shrimp cocktail, cucumber slices, and even an oyster inside the drink! The Hibiscus tea is also really good, you can also get the tea with wine if you want!
What I really like about this place is the consistency! The food comes out the exact same every time in terms of tastes, quality, portion… have not been disappointed!

The Vegas seafood and hangover spot four times now and still doesn’t disappoint. Little hole in the wall but has awesome food. Usually I come on Sunday’s after a night of partying. Food is great and micheladas are on point. If your not craving beer, try the mangoniada. Only thing if you go on Sunday, try to get there before 12 because it starts filling up afterward. Will definitely make it back soon!

I love hidden gems! This ones on Charleston and Maryland right by the Guadalupe medical center. If your craving Mexican seafood entrees come here. They have really good shrimp tacos and the customer service here is very friendly.
Alcohol is also on deck so grab a corona and find your treat to Mexican food here

Been here a few times now (sad to say, I live in the neighborhood which so many refer to as «the ghetto»). Service has always been fast and friendly, and the shrimp empanadas are a must– piping hot and tasty, if a little spendy at $ 7.50 for an order of three.
They have some meat and chicken dishes, but you really want to stick with the seafood. (Mole was on the menu, but they never seemed to have it. Noticed they finally went ahead and crossed it off).
And speaking of the menu, it’s one of those kinds with pictures of everything, A practice perhaps frowned upon in finer dining circles, but it sure do come in handy when venturing into unfamiliar territory like actual Mexican food that doesn’t come in a bag with a bell on it.
My favorite new (to me) thing I tried was the deep fried whole tilapia, which comes with your choice of sauce. The skin was brown and crispy to the point of crunchy, with moist, white meat that you ferret out whilst on a treasure hunt of its little dead carcass. Yum! The Anaconda seemed alarmed by the french-​fried face staring up at us, but I was undeterred.
He opted for the red, white, and green burrito, which was almost too much food, even for him. Note I said almost.
Service has always been friendly and attentive, even when they’re busy. I haven’t encountered the dreaded live music yet, but the space is very small so can’t imagine that it wouldn’t be annoying even without amplifiers.
All the food we’ve tried has been really good. They do garnish the plate with the ubiquitous and inexplicable undressed lettuce leaves called «salad», and the chips are just okay and the salsa is too hot for my taste. Wish they offered a milder option, especially since the soda comes in cans, meaning no refills when lots of cold liquids are mandatory.

This place is amazing! The food here is super fresh and delicious. The best Mariscos I’ve ate in a long time. The service is great and friendly! We love this place and will totally come back on our next trip.

Great food. Fast Service the only thing they need is to expand the dining area it was a little cramped but the food made up for it. Definitely going back when I’m in Vegas.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. This was our second visit. We originally stumbled upon this gem Dec 2014 through Unilocal when we we’re looking for a decent seafood place. Food is amazing. Service is amazing. Music in the background and even the décor is pleasant. A definite A+.

Amazing food. Great prices! I ordered the Michelada with Seafood around it, super good! My husband had the tostada with Ceviche de Camaron «Yummy» and a mangonada «OMG» delicious!!!

Me and my friend were very hungover out in the strip craving some mariscos. I Unilocaled mariscos in the area and this was the 1 spot to go to after seeing the reviews. I was very impressed tasted so good not just cuz I was hungover but it really was and I eat a lot of mariscos out in LA. That special green sauce they have I highly reconnect just can’t remember the name, you also pick how spicy you want it. I HIGHLY recommend! Would go back when I’m out in LV again.

What a great spot to have shrimp cocktail. I was craving it and wanted to come and have not just the shrimp cocktail but also have some empanada. I wanted to add to the mix. And I’m really glad I did. The empanada looked plan but it was actually tasty. Love the crunch of the shell and the inside the shrimp was so good. The inside was filled with shrimp, onions, tomato and garlic. I guess that why it’s so tasty. Oh yes and my shrimp cocktail was very fulfilling to me got my craving out. The hubby ordered the Camarones a la diabla. Now that was delish, lots of shrimp. They didn’t skimp out on us which were great.
The service was good. When I needed service they attended to us. Which is great, I didn’t have to flag them down. It wasn’t too crowded but just the right amount for us to be served fast and friendly. It’s not a huge restaurant so you may miss it. But keep a look out. It is inside a plaza so you will be sharing your parking. This place I will visit again, since the empanada was really delish.

I’m a LA Girl and a major foodie and even more of a mariscos spot. My 2 Vegas friends said this spot was amazing and spicy!!!
Humberto was the best server. If you go, sit in his section he takes amazing care of u and tells you everything on the menu. Can’t wait to come back for you all

Amazing atmosphere — great live music at 4pm — not sure what time on other days but this was a Saturday. Food is awesome. After a long night on the strip — this place can bring you back to life. I feel so much better — lol.
I recommend the shrimp burrito — burrito de camarón.
5 stars!

Best Horchata! Best shrimp empanadas!
I come here quite often & always feel welcomed by their great customer service. My boyfriend loves their mango michelada. I always get their Horchata & so far, it’s the best Horchata I’ve had in Vegas. For an appetizer, I highly recommend their shrimp empanadas. It’s like shrimp ceviche in a crispy empanada accompanied with a delicious green spicy sauce (I like to put this sauce on everything while I’m there).
You can never go wrong with their mocajete with carne asada, shrimp, AND chicken. It even comes with grilled cactus, which is surprisingly tasty! This visit, however, I tried the Tubbz tacos & asked for the shrimp a la diabla. Oh man, the combination of spicy shrimp, melted cheese, & a crispy shell is phenomenal!

We were craving Mexican food for dinner and didn’t want commercial restaurant. Thank you Unilocal for helping us find this «hole in the wall» amazing gem!
It’s a family run joint, with a welcoming décor and equally entertaining staff. Our server was the owner’s son who shared with us some fun background about the restaurant and some great dishes. In addition for locals to stay away during peak tourist hours… Apparently our visit happened during a rare time of near empty.
Don’t pass this place up!
We will be back.

Best Horchata anywhere! We were celebrating Aries birthdays with a Papusa crawl. But I had seen that the shrimp empanadas were rated high here, and it is close to my house. So Mariscos was our first stop of the night… and we WILL be back!

Small place like a hole on the wall in a small shopping center. The food and drinks were great, I had a molcajete it was very well prepared and seasoned to my liking our waiter was very respectful and was attentive to what we needed. I highly recommend this place if u want a place away from the strip for a change. It’s about 1.5 mile away from the strip not bad.

Nunca había probado una comida como la que hacen aquí (deliciosa)mi primer platillo que probé camarones tecolote y hasta ahora mi favorito tienen gran variedad de bebidas y sobretodo las tortillas de maíz (hechas a mano) no en cualquier restauran las hacen no cabe duda que seguire comiendo aquí mi siguiente platillo será el
un lugar pequeño pero acogedor 100% recomendado

Tonight was our 3^rd visit to Mariscos Playa while the food was very very good we were a little put off by the Blue Moon special that they offered. She offered the special buy one get one Blue Moon and as we were going to have a beer anyway we took the offer. All was good until the bill came and she charged us $ 12 for the 2 BOGO beers. (4 beers total). This is a total rip off when you can have any domestic or imported beer on there menu every day for $ 3.99.
So as far as we were concerned they just raised the price on the beer to $ 6 to cover for the BOGO. We could have had 4 imports for $ 16. So we really only got 1 free.
Maybe it was our fault for assuming but we also felt a little screwed over.

Found this gem sunday 9÷6÷2015. This was some top notch mariscos/​seafood! Just the perfect fix for the hangover from the night prior. Huge portions. I had oysters, a huge cocktel, ceviche tostadas, and a huge michelada that had shrimp, cucumber, and oysters. The price was super reasonable. $ 60 for all the food listed. Great service. They have some very hard working ladies in there.
Will return hopefully soon.

I don’t know what happened to this place. Perhaps ordering a meat dish at a place that specializes in seafood was an error in judgment on my part. I ordered the molcajete de carne. I did not like it at all. The meat was so overcooked and tough. Am I eating beef jerky? The beans that came with it was so oily and greasy. Chorizo had no flavor and it was a crumbling mess. I took one bite of the cactus and didn’t eat the rest. The only thing I liked was the Mexican cheese.
Also, noticed the shrimp was not deveined in the aguachiles so cleaning shrimp poop was a joy. They didn’t honor the free horchata when you check in which I was turned off by. It irritates me when businesses don’t honor stuff. The waiter looked peeved too when I asked about the check in.
I don’t know if I’ll be back. The service was good until the check in part at the end. The empanadas were good and I have enjoyed other shrimp dishes there on previous visits but damn, that molcajete turned me off.

Buenosimooo mi restaurante preferido de mariscos aqui en las vegas siempre como los camarones hawaianos recomendados 100% y las micheladas mas ricas de las vegas hoy quise provar un molcajete de asada con camaron buenisimooo con tortillas hechas a mano muy bien servicio la comida deliciosa!!!
