Mariscos el Santo Mar: Reviews & Ratings
great place.very clean.just dont like that they allowed vendors to go inside and get close to my food.
Must try everything but I really enjoyed the tacos a la brasa de marlin. Wow I’m drooling just thinking of them! They know the meaning of sabor and food cooked a la brasa. Can’t wait to go back!
This it’s our favorite place at Puerto Vallarta, every time we visit Vallarta it’s a must!! Food it’s tasty, service it’s great!!!
Try the shrimp and Marlon tacos! It is a small family place, but worth the trip.
Love their garlic shrimp!
I had already visited but they took forever to even acknowledge us so we left. Tried oysters across the street instead a couple times until we had a bad experience so we decided to go back here since I was staying a few blocks away this time. Server was on point, beer super cold (is a must) only ordered shrimp cocktail and octopus tostada, I was surprised they asked me if I wanted it hot or cold, usually they just bring you a hot soup in a cup in Vallarta so that was nice, plenty of medium shrimp (cleaned and deveined) 120 vegetables on the side, juice lacks a little flavor in my opinion but overall good, tostada was good but for half the price of the cocktail could have been better, or maybe chop the cucumber smaller, anyways it was 235 for one ultra, one water and the food. Thought it was pretty good considering is a seat down place and they take the time to devein the shrimp, some people mentioning is pricey, I didn’t think so. I’d comeback next one I’m around to try the rest of the menu. Some guy ordered oysters and agua chilles next to me and they looked pretty good too.
Great local seafood restaurant! Good service, great environment, staff speaks English. Foods are with good qualities and very delicious. Worth to go
I love this place. Terrific seafood, prepared with care, very fresh, incredibly good value. My current local. You can eat and drink well for 300 pesos but the 12 oysters or a full grilled pulp for 380 are worth splashing out on. Surprisingly good margaritas also!
