Bismarkcito

Portion sizes are huge (big enough for 1 plate to be shared for 2 people), food is very delicious though! The grilled octopus was amazing, it came with such a flavour burst rice and good vegetables. Fish ceviche had no juice and was similar to a tuna salad. Had a beautiful view of the sunset!!

I love the restaurant’s setting. Very relaxing with the beautiful ocean spread in front of us. I love that their salsa bar included a lot more than other places we went to. Unfortunately the lobster taco was very tough and I couldn’t eat

Ramon took care of us with utmost care! He ensured there that our orders were perfect and that we had a great dining experience. The chef did a great job preparing our food. It was delicious! We also had front row seats to the most amazing views on the bay. We’ll be back!

We spent two weeks in La Paz trying all the restaurants along the Malecón only to come back again and again to the Bismark. We highly recommend our waiters, Kevin and Jose Louis, they welcomed us warmly, helped us with our Spanish, remembered our drink preferences and always provided great service with lots of smiles. Go early on Sundays, it’s the only day they serve paella mariscos ($250), it’s a huge portion you might want to share and it’s amazing! Their seafood dishes are the best, their prices are reasonable and they provided the quickest and friendliest service on the Malecón.

We were greeted by Rodney our bartender who made us perfect drinks and made us feel welcomed. We only had drinks but will come back later for food. Fresh squeezed fruit for cocktails. We came back for dinner, our server was great but most of our food was just average, a real disappointment. They also ran out of wine by the class, red and white?

This restaurant was amazing. It offers several different types of food options. The food and drinks were great. The views and atmosphere make this place a great experience. Will visit again when in La Paz.

This spot is, without a doubt, my favorite place to relax on the Malecón of La Paz. It’s more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience. The food is incredible, the cerveza is ice-cold, and the staff works together like a well-oiled machine, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Tacos Camerone (shrimp tacos) are a must-try, especially with a stop at the side bar to pile on your favorite toppings. But the true showstopper? The Ostionas a La Leña—fire-roasted oysters that are simply unforgettable. They take time to roast to perfection, but that just gives you an excuse to sit back, sip your drink, and soak in the breathtaking view of the Sea of Cortez. If you’re in La Paz, don’t just visit—linger, savor, and let the moment become a memory.

Great place..plenty of tables we ask for pizza but they have all kinds of food Recommended..

We came here for the view and ambiance, knowing that holes in the wall a few blocks off the Malecon would likely have better food. That being said, this place was an enjoyable experience. We came during Carnaval, and had a table that allowed us to stay within the hubbub of the area, with an ocean view. My husband enjoyed his fish tacos, though I thought they were a bit bland (nothing that can't be fixed by salsa and roasted peppers, of course). He also ordered what I thought was a dogfish taco (apparently a type of shark), but what came looked more like an empanada (fried, and closed up). I took a bite, and thought it was pretty good. Texture was similar to tuna. I ordered a fish ceviche, and enjoyed it. I did order one rather disappointing oyster, which was really fishy tasting. We also had a couple of Michelada. Overall, a fun dining experience. Service was excellent.

For lunch, we visited Bizmarkcito, which is a mariscos place. It's located on the La Paz Malecon. The restaurant is open air to the front with tables inside and out. It's a very large venue. We ordered the grilled fish (sea bass) with vegetables, six oysters, a lobster taco, and a shrimp taco. The grilled fish was good, and the portion was large. My wife enjoyed the oysters. The lobster taco was grounded up meat with no taste. The shrimp taco was okay. The shrimp were large, but again little taste compared to other area spots. Regarding the service, it was very good. Our server was attentive and friendly.

The sevice was wonderful, and it was our first night in La Paz. The food was super fresh and the view was fantastic. I would come back.

We had an okay dinner here. Service was good but we waited a bit too long. However, when we got there, we were seated right away. I ordered a seafood pizza and the cheese was too thick and the oysters were way too smoked. Most things were spicy so I wouldn't suggest this restaurant for spice sensitive people. Overall the food was okay. Considering where it is, it was pretty quiet but still had some good vibe. The ambiance was okay. If you really need to find a restaurant, you can go here but I don't highly recommend it. There are many other good places in La Paz.

Attentive service. Comfortable ambiance. Delicious food . I would recommend the octopus if you've never had it before.

After all the hype, this place was truly a disappointment. First they didn't want to seat us together, we were a party of 8. We finally did get to sit together. Second, they ran out of lobster, only the really, really big one's were left, at market price. So I had to get my lobster in chunks on a baked potato, which lacked any flavor whatsoever. Service was slow and meals probably overpriced. Sad, because I was so excited to eat here. The only good thing was my bf's whole cooked fish, a La Paz specialty. The flavors, cook and presentation was amazing.

Food was decent, wasn't anything to write home about. The service was subpar and the staff seemed annoyed to work or be there. I'm traveling with Spanish speaking friends and they felt the contempt as well. The best thing that happened was the server came over with a chafing fuel can because there were endless amount of flies. They were relentless when our food came. The smoke instantly got rid of the pest.

Gorgeous, open airy location right on the Malecon. Plenty of space for large parties. Varied menu. Relatively knowledgeable about gluten free dietary requirements. Tacos were pretty good. Vera Cruz fish pretty good. All around the food is pretty good - you go here for its superb location.

I mean it's exactly what you think it is, it doesn't really need a review. We had the Marlin tacos, which were average AF, and the coconut shrimp which were average AF. Service is slow but nothing new there. Like everything on Paseo, let's strive for the better spots around town!

This place was recommended to us by two different people during our trip so we had to come here. I ordered the Fettuccini de Langosta and we all loved my dish. I was so happy with my dish. The Sangria was refreshing. My friends ordered the Arrachera pizza, camarones a la diabla, and the aguachiles.

We stopped in for a couple of ice cold beers. We also ordered a Shrimp Quesadilla! MUI DELICIOSO!!

Slow service so be patient. Food was ok, had a smoked marlin salad. Red wine was limited to 3 brands... It is what it is, great location and fun for people watching. There's probably better places but if you don't feel like exploring this place is good.

The stuffed fished was insane! Excellent quality and flavor. Our server was attentive and courteous. The clove candle helped with the few flys outside, which were minimal considering we ate outside under the umbrellas. The drinks could have had more kick, but it was still an incredible lunch four our short stop in La Paz.

This is my favorite seafood place on the Malecon. They offer a variety of seafood tacos and they are always very consistent with their quality. I always go here every time I come to La Paz.

Every time a guest comes to visit, I go from the airport straight to this place. It has the best welcome to a La Paz view, excellent service and delicious food. Prices are reasonable, and the selection is outstanding. This place has a real wow factor.

Walk far enough and you will fine Bismarck-Cito on the Malecon. Fantastic fresh raw and cooked seafood. Lobster rellenos, tacos gobernator. Outside tables or inside the open air dining area. Highly recommended

I went to Bizmark for dinner. They are known for and it says on the menu their house specialty is lobster. They talked me into garlic lobster 600MXP ($30+). I said, "Sure!" They came back a minute later and said market price is 1400MXP ($70+)! You can eat lobster in the best restaurant in San Diego for less than that with an ocean front view!! Jakes Restaurant on the beach in Del Mar, CA is one example and is way better than Bizmark!!! So I said no to the garlic lobster. They then talked me into lobster burritos 600MXPs and they were terrible. As far as service goes, it wasn't terrible. The waiter arrived in short order and was fairly attentive. The food took about 40 minutes to come out and you are constantly harangued by flies.

This place is not at all what it's cracked up to be. It came recommended by more than one local and I left sadly disappointed. The assorted oysters were terrible and since 8 out of 10 of them were baked, that's not saying much for the oysters. Perhaps not the restaurant's fault the oysters sucked, but it is their fault they flipped the orders on me and my buddy. We both ordered 1 lobster taco each. He ordered a fish taco and me a shrimp taco. I mistook the fish for prawns and he mistook my shrimp for chopped fish, but it was all fried so it was hard to tell which was which. In either case, the lobster was great. The fish, not so much. Very greasy. Aside from that snafu, I was annoyed we had to go to the equivalent of a salad bar to dress our tacos.

Service exceptionally good! food excellent, better than the other SEA-FOOD PLACE, what we asked for we got and more, ask for Francisco the manager he knows how to treat you well

My favorite place for seafood while we are here. The menu has a lot of variety, and the waiters speak relatively good English. The service usually is speedy, and the food is reasonably priced. There is lots of seating, both inside the open restaurant and outside on the street front. We had a deep fried whole snapper. The meat was good and fresh. We are it with the salsa for the topos (chips). We like things spicy but not sour spicy so we didn't use any of the bottles chilies that they gave us. CHOCOLATE CLAMS We also ordered almejas chocolatas naturales (meaning they shuck them and serve them raw, like oysters). These were delicious. The meat is crunchy, but it is gritty at times. We like them with lemon, salt, and habanero chile. CEVICHE DE PESCADO A fish type salad where the fish is mixed in raw and cooked with the lime juice of the salad. It's good. It wasn't anything to rave about. The fish was shredded so small that you couldn't tell it was fish. FIRE GRILLED OCTOPUS A specialty dish, we asked to have it cooked a little spicy. It was good. The octopus was perfectly cooked and had a good flavor. It wasn't spicy; it just looked that way. There aren't many restaurants serving octopus here in La Paz. It is worth the stop. GRILLED MARLIN This dish was delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked. It was encrusted around the outside when seasame and grilled. Over a drizzle of a light mustard. It was perfect. Juicy and flavorful.

Im going to keep this short and sweet. Theres no shortage of seafood places in la paz. Forst drawback was that the indoor seating was super hot and stuffy. We chose to sit outside in the shade to enjoy the breeze. At first there were a couple flies, it was tolerable, but when the food came there was no less than 25 big flies buzzing around. Totally ruined the mood. They have some kind of candle to try to ard them off but it doesnt work. The seafood in the ceviche was mashed the whole thing felt like a patte. My mojito lacked any taste of alcohol. It tasted good just wondering where the alcohol was ‍ All around bad. Go to Marinera. Its indoors, air conditioned, the drinks are top notch and the seafood is prepared with so muhc more care.

Cold food, flat drinks, great view Tried the place twice. I'll never come back. So disappointed

Perfect spot for some great food and drink with a view. The best octopus I have ever head!

Second time eating here. We tried the breakfast this time. Everything takes a long time! For the amounts staff it should not take that long. Coffee and beers were good. 3/4 of us could not eat our meals. My refrained been and eggs were cold! The other people food was not tasty at all. Two stokes they are out. The best part of the breakfast was a little bird having breakfast with us.

This place is great. Small dining area but it never seems too busy and you can always make reservations. The service is a little slow and the food takes around 30-40 minutes. They do give you unlimited supply of salsa and chips so by the time you get your food, you're kind of stuffed. It's great if you love having leftovers the next day. The lobster is good but a little pricey for the size and amount of meat in it. It's got AC and a beautiful mural of the ocean and it's creatures. They have another restaurant right out front by the malecón which is 5x as big with a great view of the ocean, the only downside is that it is an open space and there are lots of flies. If you want a peaceful experience without having to swat the flies away, then you should try this place first. Both places are great.

Last day here and wanted a snack before heading to the airport. Stopped by Mariscos Bismarkcito for lunch and had Shrimp Tacos with a Dos XX and Chicken Tenders, Fries and a salad. Was very good and hit the spot. Good food and nice place to stop for a bite.

Went there our first night in La Paz. Service was slow but OK. It might have been the kitchen. We got a nice table outdoors. Lobster tacos were excellent. Mixed seafood platter was bland. This place was 'Baja comfort food.

Food was 'ok' but not very warm nor interesting- service was inefficient and frenetic-

First night in La Paz. The food is awesome, did not have to wait. Service was great. Food was excellent. Must try: shrimp albóndigas, shrimp chiles rellenos, steak and shrimp pizza, grilled octopus. Beers aren't bad either. We will be back

Exelente Servicio de Claudia, la comida muy buena recomendado y tienen estacionamiento Atras lo único que no dejan poner propina cuando pagas con tarjeta y los meseros pierden porque no todos los clientes traen efectivo eso no me gusto.

This is supposed to be a landmark kind of restaurant so we tried it on our last night in La Paz. Now I take some responsibility because I didn't order a meal that included their specialty, spiney lobster. Apparently no one else ordered it either because I haven't seen one server pass by with one. I had Chile relleno with shrimp and hubby had a surf and turf pizza. Mediocre at best on the taste part but portions were good. So now I can say I've eaten here but it's coming off our list for a second visit. Finally they had choice of two beers-that it - two.

Food was delicious and great service. Right across from beautiful ocean and amazing sunset.

Loving the Lobster Tacos ... Taco Gobernador Langusta ... love being a Corporate Pilot and eating great food around the world.

Great food just across the street from the bay. Open, indoor outdoor seating. Quick service even when crowded. Ample free parking behind the restaurant. These days the place goes by the name Bismark-Cito. Full bar. If the weather is nice this is a great place to dine while looking out over the water and seeing the activity along the malecon

I rarely review spots outside LA because exposing my travel patterns could blow my anonymity. Only heaven and a few souls know who I am and how I ended up here in this Mexican seaside town. Starving, I placed my order, downed a Pacifica, and stared out at the harbor. In contrast to the modest buildings and humble locals around me, there in the water sat multi-million dollar yachts with names like "Sea Pearl" and "Daydreamer". If I had a yacht, I would just name it "El Pendejo" because I figure a lot of folks would mutter that when they see me sail by. Although you can't eat a yacht, you CAN eat happiness: "almejas chocolatas". Not a sweet dessert, but chocolate clams. "Chocolate" referring to the shell color rather than the taste. A couple of guys at our table ordered it served in-shell...the glistening flesh still moving. I got mine in a bowl of ceviche-like gazpacho...cool and refreshing. These forkers were huge. The lips tender, meaty, slightly briny, unforgettable. Never in my life had I given much thought to clams. As I ate, I started Googling these bivalves and came to a horrible realization: I think I may have just eaten great-grandpa. You see, a clam of this size had probably been in the ocean for a loooong time. Clams are the world's oldest living animal. The record was a 507 year-old clam found in 2006. He was nicknamed "Ming" because he had been alive since the Ming Dynasty. Sadly, "Ming" was killed by scientists trying to figure out how old he was.

The service here is absolutely awful - painfully slow with disinterested and bored staff... This is a tourist trap and the seafood is really not that great. We ordered a ceviche, that was inexcusably bad and a Lobster Thermidor that turned out to be a mushroom thermidor (there were probably 3 pieces of lobster in it). All in all it was very disappointing. The fish tacos we ordered were pretty low quality (we recommend you go to Mc-Fisher a couple of blocks away if you want really excellent fish tacos!). Definitely not a recommend from us...

Delicious seafood, great beach view and professional service. Our server was super personable and knowledgeable, he recommended really good Mexican wine. The best seafood we had in La Paz.

After a few days in La Paz, we were finally excited to find a "nicer" place for dinner. Our waiter was super nice, spoke English (that was a plus because the entire menu was in Spanish but I expected nothing less) and was very helpful. We ordered the lobster platter for two, hugeeeee portion! It would have been amazing but the lobster was extremely over cooked, half of the scallops were over cooked and the other half were under cooked, the fish was good as well as the shrimp. Thank goodness I ordered the clam chowder to start or else I would have left hungry. And the chowder...so good!! It was a tad disappointing the amount we paid for the food that we received. But other than that, service, drinks and the view were great!

Food was bad and expensive. Drinks were lame and Food was insipid. We ordered a pescando sarandeado and lobster tacos both were bad. Service was alright. Definitely not worth thr price.

Was looking around for a place to take 4 BAJA CRUISE American friends when they come in April and the ambiance looked right, lots of gringoes sitting around so entered & sat at bar, ordered Bismark shrimp (tasty shrimp wrapped in bacon & melted cheese on top). Where it went downhill was when waiter realizing I wanted a refreshing drink recommended a non alcohol cucumber libation. Loved it ...however pretty sure it was the culprit, Turista diarrhea hit that evening which lasted several days, even taking garlic oil pills! I noticed when sitting at bar the workers were cutting, chopping cucumbers with bare hands, who knows if they were taking restroom breaks & did not thoroughly wash hands? Maybe cucumbers were not washed properly, who knows? A place like this right on the malecon with a long standing reputation should do better.

sAte there the other day. The server brought us a taco menu of which over half the items were not available. Unless of course we ordered the more expensive taco meal entree. Service was slow and the food was mediocre. Really sad that it wasn't as good as other yelpers' food and experience. Won't be back again. But may try the other the Bismark that's in town and not on the malecon.

It was hard for them to satisfy 2 hungry vegetarians, especially because it's mostly seafood restaurant, but we're very grateful that personnel was trying to help us out by any means. We ate very tasty sauce which had crab in it (oops), no complaints tho, it was very tasty! ( We need to improve our Spanish). Location is great, you feel nice breeze from the sea. It was memorable and great stop on the way to majestic Balandra Beach.

Stopped here when we visited La Paz and boy I was not disappointed. Ordered the lobster and it was perfectly seasoned and grilled. Beautiful view of the beach from every seat in the house and service was good.

Food is not great and service is even worse. It has nice ambiance but other than that, take your money elsewhere

Food was decent. Service was meh. Location with the sunset on the Malecon is the big draw.

My experience with this place is bad. Bad costumer service, bad food, without any flavor... and it came from microwave! I don't recommend it

This is a very nice place. The food is delicious. We ordered shrimp cocktail, pescado zarandeado, and camarones a la diabla. Desert was to die for. My favorite was the mango cheesecake.

Great service and good food. We enjoyed the sea food soup and stuffed peppers. Get some of the shrimp balls as appetizers, they are tasty.

This was a fun first stop on our trip to La Paz. We drive around and thought it had a cool vibe and then someone recommended it so we popped in. We sat under a large tree to keep a little cool but it was still pretty warm. The flies were out but the restaurant did a nice job of putting candles on the tables to try to get rid of them. The margaritas were decent. They were a little sweet, even the skinny ones, but they were good. We had a scallop ceviche to start which was nice, but lacked a little bit of flavor. Then we each had fish. The fish with garlic was really good. It was a light flaky fish prepared with lots of fresh garlic on top. We also had a sesame crusted tuna steak. The chef recommended it medium so we ordered it as such but it came out well done and was a little chewy. The potatoes and asparagus that came with it was nice. For the kids we ordered the fish fingers and the fish was nice and big and flaky. They shared one plate and it was more than enough.
