Reviews for Mariscos La Playa in Albuquerque, NM
This restaurant is great. They have various seafood plates to choose from. They serve chips with pico de gallo, beans, and... guacamole salsa - it was excellent. The portions are generous and I thought it was inexpensive. I took 1 star away for the rice,everything else was delicious. Read more
Food was tasty. Service was terrible! Gave us chips with 3 dips. My throat was burning from the hot dip. But they didn't give us... our drinks. About 30 minutes later they came by with our drinks. Kept trying to get their attention, but they never look at you,just walk bye. Blond waitress, did not speak English. My drink was ok, my friend received, just water. He asked for soda water.

I have been a fan for some time. Always a good service and seafood experience. Of the Mexican Baja style dishes from across the... locations in both Albuquerque and Santa Fe, my favorite is the seafood soup 'Vuelvo la vida' but I also enjoy the Shark,Snapper and I think I remember catching an outstanding Flounder dish in Santa Fe a few times. The free trio of salsa with chipsbefore the meal is a tasty welcome. Read more
Used to be good. Not so much anymore. Knew I was in for a rough meal when my pico came out and was 80% water. Got the octopus... and it was mostly mushy and smelled off. Only had a few bites before giving up on it. Still with what little I ate it made meincredibly sick. Such a shame cause this place used to have amazing food. Read more

Mariscos La Playa is a little gem in Albuquerque. My husband and I ate there yesterday; I felt like I was in Mexico again in a... little Mexican Cantina. The atmosphere was a wonderful tropical Mexican feel with traditional Mexican music playing in thebackground. The menu had a large variety of Mexican seafood, as well as, traditional Mexican food. I ordered the Relleno andmy husband ordered the Grilled Marlin Tacos. The food was absolutely delicious! The relleno was a steamed trout in butter sauce,flayed open and stuffed with scallops, octopus and shrimp with cheese lightly laced over the top. My mouth is watering justremembering how excellent it was. The portions were large; with the relleno came white rice, potato wedges, a mix of corn andcarrots lightly buttered and a small lettuce and tomato garnishment with a slice of avocado. The trout was cooked so it justmelted in my mouth, the scallops were tender, the octopus pieces were not rubbery and chewy as some places serve it and theshrimp were delicate morsels. The grilled Marlin tacos had decent sized pieces of marlin in four soft corn tortillas withlettuce and tomatoes and a side of salsa. With the tacos, there was white rice and potato wedges. I had a couple bites of histacos which were very good (mine was better, lol). We will definitely be going back to Mariscos La Playa and hope to bringextended family. Read more
I love the decor here, it is colorful and fits with the seafood/under the sea theme. The seafood was fresh and clean. Small... glass cocktail: coctel Gloria Small (seafood combo) My favorite with with octopus, shrimp, and scallop. More sweet. Withcucumbers: Mariscada Fria- This had more chile and acid which was strong but refreshing. In tin foil: Fileted Marinero (tilapiawrapped in foil with scallop shrimp and cheese) Read more
After having a large meal, and being taken good care of by the staff. All I can say is five stars all the way our waiter didn?t... have much of a sense of humor, but he never let my iced tea go dry. The food is well all I can say, is you better share or youbetter be able to put a large platter down. Come in wobble out with a smile. Read more
