Mariscos El Social

Very good seafood restaurant. We came here because, for a long time, I have been looking at the pictures of my sister's meals when she comes here. Since the fish filets and shrimp dishes are so good, I decided to push the envelope a little and try out a specialty dish. I went for the Siete Mares (7 Seas), which is a mix of all kinds of seafood in a soup. I regretted it... When my dish came up, it was just too simple. No fixings. I had to ask our waiter for everything (onion, cilantro, limes, avocado), including the lobster crackers that are used to crack the crabs' legs that are needed to eat the soup. All other dishes are so well-presented, but not this one. Everybody else in my party was absolutely happy with their meal. Vladimir was our waiter, and he was otherwise very good. He even spoke in English to us, which was impressive. He shared with us that he is currently studying Mandarin. I will definitely come back to try some of their more tried-out dishes.

We especially enjoy the stand in the next corner from noon to end of afternoon, Simple exquisit food & great atmosphere. Always busy with people but it’s always possible to find a sit & enjoy. Try black habanero salsa with shrimps coktail & calamar salad !

Excellent cirviche tostada. It was so fresh I ordered a second one. Perfect pairing with a cold corona.

Excellent seafood!!! I recommend zarandeado Fish or Shrimp it's fantastic.

The food is excellent! The service is perfect. It is an outside hole in the wall, but we'll worth it. Very inexpensive for the serving sizes.

The food is really good especially since it’s hard to find seafood in Guadalajara this spot has incredible seafood I highly recommend

Hard to find street parking

The empanadas de camarones are definitely a must try! I also met the Chef and he was very nice, and offered to show me the kitchen (since I cook in the US). I ended up spraining my ankle and had to leave a couple days later :(. I will return though!! The restaurant is gorgeous and servers are nice.
