Craving seafood, the boy and I decided to check this place out for dinner while on our trip to San Antonio. We were crazy impressed with the service, quality, and portion size of the food. We split the seafood tower and oysters preparado. I don't think I've seen a more enormous portion of seafood for such a reasonable price. We actually took some back to the hotel because we couldn't finish it all! We would totally go back.

From the music to the food to the drinks this spot did not miss being from Houston I was always let down with SA Mexican food but this is the spot to be if you want some fire!!!! 10/10

Yummmmm came here for the ceviche and it did not disappoint! The portions are sizable and definitely worth the price. You also get complimentary tostados to scoop up all the fresh seafood. I tried two different types of ceviche, and both were so flavorful and fresh. The food also came out very quickly. There is booth seating and table seating to accommodate any sized-parties. Service was good, but it definitely helps if you know how to speak Spanish. I definitely want to come back and try their other menu items!

Food is really good. The ambiance was cool. A group of musicians were playing live music on the Friday I was there.

Food was great. Personally for my family and I best seafood we had and didn't get sick from it. The service was great too. The environment was fun with live music. Highly recommend this place. The photos show what my family and I ate.

We stopped by at El Marinero for a very quick lunch and really enjoyed the awesome food and lively, music filled vibe of the restaurant. We ordered shrimp tostadas and fish ceviche. Food came out super fast and seafood was fresh and delicious. Portions are generous, we took a box to go. There was a local Mariachi band playing, which made it extra fun and lively.
