Mexican seafood counter known for Baja fish tacos & shrimp aguachile
"Los Mariscos is technically inChelsea Market, but that’s sort of selling it short. It’s not actually in the market, it’s around the side, which means that some tourists never even find it. Call it Chelsea Market’s best kept secret. The counter service Mexican spot, from the team behindLos Tacos No. 1, serves up a tight menu of seafood dishes, like battered shrimp tacos, mixed ceviche, and scallop aguachile in a massive molcajete. You could easily stop here for a quick taco or two, but it’s fun to snag a table, order a few micheladas or margaritas, and then get enough seafood to fill the small fish tank that sits beneath the cash registers." - Willa Moore
"Everything at Los Mariscos, from the people behind Los Tacos No. 1, tastes like it was caught from an ocean five minutes ago. Your taco options are shrimp, spicy shrimp, and, our favorite, fried battered fish. The whole operation is casual and efficient, and unlike Los Tacos No. 1—which feels like it’s in a food court—you can comfortably hang out at Los Mariscos for multiple rounds of beers and tacos." - neha talreja, kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus, willa moore, will hartman
"There are seven locations of Los Tacos No. 1 around town, but, for some reason, there’s only one Los Mariscos. This counter-service spot tucked into the side of Chelsea Market is from the same team, and it serves fantastic fish tacos, ceviche, and aguachile. There’s a bit of seating inside, in addition to some sidewalk tables where you can camp out and drink a margarita when the weather’s nice." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
"Following a visit to the Whitney with a descent into the depths of Chelsea Market is about as hectic as it gets. But the shrimp tacos at Los Mariscos inside the market are very much worth the overstimulation. Try not to get distracted by the chaos of the narrow hallways until you’ve reached the promised land of fish. Unlike other spots in Chelsea Market, which can feel a bit rushed, Los Mariscos has enough space to stay a while. Take a deep breath, and then order multiple rounds of beers, fish tacos, and shrimp aguachile." - neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
"Think of this as an indoor taco truck that happens to be located inside of Chelsea Market. It’s extremely casual, and you eat off paper plates. They also make one of the best fish tacos in the city. Order a few at the counter and eat standing up like a person in sweatpants would." - bryan kim, hillary reinsberg, matt tervooren
