Mariscos La Riviera Nayarit

This place is nice and clean! Our server was amazing! She was on point!! Overall this place is good!! Ostiones con camarón y queso: so good!! 4/5 Aguachile verde: 1/5: it was made with just lemon!! No chile!! No spice! The only good thing to say was that the shrimp was not nasty like days old nasty! I do not recommend the aguachile!! Empanadas: they were good - 4/5 recommended Cóctel de camarón y pulpo :3.5/5 it was good! Idk if I would go back to this spot! I would like to try other spots to compare but this place was not bad and was not like omg good I needs to go back! Maybe next time I'll order other things to see if maybe other things taste better!

The staff is very very attentive. They have live musicians who go and play for your table if you choose ~$20 a song. Food was rather good and not too salty. Parking is limited because it's in a shared shopping center

One word...WOW! My Mother's birthday brought me here today  She wanted snapper, so I Googled "Red Snapper" and this restaurant came up in the list of choices. After Yelping it, I liked the reviews, so I decided to try it out  Totally worth the trip on Jimmy Carter. The fried red snapper was incredible! You know the food is good when there is DEAD SILENCE at the table...LOL You get a whole seasoned and fried fish, rice, fries (I know AANNDD FRIES...LOL), salad and a few other items.One Yelper mentioned getting it with their garlic sauce and she couldn't have been more right. It's a garlic butter sauce with either crab or lobster in it and shrimp. It was delicious and made the fish that much better. I had their fajitas mixtas (mixed fajitas). This was a combination of steak, large tail-on shrimp and chicken breast, seasoned and mixed with onions and peppers. PLENTY OF MEAT.The sides are white vegetable rice and salad (if you must... LOL). You also get tortillas, lime and habanero sauce. There is a TON of FOOD for the price. We had enough to make leftovers. Always a plus. I spent just under $60.00 for two adults. Not much at all, all considered. I went on a rainy Saturday morning at about 11:30, before the lunch rush and though there were patrons starting to show up, it was not crowded. I imagine it is really busy at night or with better weather. Moreover, a great lunch pick for today. I am certain to return soon.

I went to Mariscos on a Friday night and as you can see from my picture they were quite busy! However, we didn't have to wait very long to be seated. The room was alive with families and parties of 5 and up all laughing and communing with each other. Amongst all the laughter and chatter there was also a mariachi band playing which I thought was a nice authentic touch. To start, we ordered drinks and a cluster of crab legs; We were enjoying the mariachi band play when a ceviche tostado was placed in front of us. Apparently everyone gets one as an appetizer along with a basket of chips and salsa! The tostado was fresh and the drinks were strong and beautifully decorated. The crab legs were well seasoned but also came with two sauces, one was butter based and the other had onions and a bit more spice to it. My friend is Hispanic and I noticed that the waitress took our orders through her in Spanish. Most of the people in the restaurant were Hispanic so I think she felt comfortable taking the order in Spanish. We both ordered the Pina Rey as our main entrees; which was a melody of seafood placed in a pineapple bowl that was accompanied with a small side of rice, fry's, and bread. It was all so good! The portion sizes however are huge so I encourage you to share unless you're in the mood for leftovers!

I pass this place all the time on my way to the gym and have been planning to try it out for a while. We love Mexican food and we just did 3 trips to Mexico in 9 months. I've read all the great reviews and wanted to see for myself if this was really a taste of Mexico! When we first arrived there were several people waiting in the foyer, but they must have been a part of one big party because we got seated in less than 5 minutes and they were still waiting. We looked at the menu and were pleased to see that they had both the Spanish and English descriptions. I ordered the shrimp ceviche as an appetizer and she asked if I wanted it raw (cooked in lime juice) or steamed. I went with raw, which is what I usually order. These came out still really pale and slightly chewy, so it threw me off at first. I initially didn't care for them but gave them a couple of bites and found the flavor was actually really good. Then for our entrees we went with the shrimp skewers and the whole fried red snapper. Both were EXCELLENT! Great flavor, perfectly cooked, and aggressive but not over seasoned. The shrimp skewers had a perfect char on them and then they came with grilled onions, peppers, and pineapple. The pineapple was the best part of the dish. The smokiness from the grill mixed with the sweetness of the pineapple was amazing. The fish was really flavorful and moist, and the flavors of everything really took me back to Mexico. If you're in the area (and even if you aren't), I highly suggest making your way to try this hidden gem. I'll definitely be back to get another taste of Mexico soon!
