Mariscos El Submarino

"A popular Mexican seafood restaurant known for dishes like aguachile negro and tostadas. The third location is set to open soon in Clinton Hill." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Mariscos El Submarino just opened a second location in Greenpoint, with a full bar and cute backyard patio in their former Mitica space. We can’t think of a better way to spend a summer day than sharing a big cauldron of cold, refreshing, aguachile verde, cheesy shrimp tacos, and several Coronas with our friends. Just keep in mind that there are only a handful of tables outside, so you should reserve one in advance or expect a wait. But even if you find yourself with a spontaneous desire for squid ceviche, there are plenty of free spots inside for walk-ins. If we were you, we’d be out the door and halfway to tostada heaven by now." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim

"It’s easy to get swept up in eating the delicious aguachile at this Mexican seafood spot. With a molcajete full of raw seafood, freshly fried tostadas, and multiple Coronas on the table, it’ll take a few bites before you realize that your throat is on fire, but it’s totally worth it. Choose between the aguachile negro, verde, or rojo, and then round out your order with some cheesy shrimp tacos and squid ceviche. Located in the former Mitica space, this second location of the Jackson Heights original also has a breezy back patio and a bar that makes excellent micheladas.

"Just in time for summer, Mariscos El Submarino has a second location in Greenpoint (in the former Mitica spot), with a perfect little patio in the back. Mariscos’ aguachiles and tostadas are a Jackson Heights classic, but their big cauldrons of raw fish become peak day-drinking food when you bring them outside. On a nice weekend, there might be an hours-long wait for the handful of patio tables‚ but even if you end up inside, you'll get to eat their excellent aguachile negro or equally formidable verde. Get one of these for the table, then fill out your meal with the cheesy shrimp tacos el gobernador and the craken, a pressed octopus taco that goes great with an icy michelada." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman

"This spring, the owners of Mariscos El Submarino closed their Greenpoint restaurant, Mystica, and turned it into another location of their popular seafood counter. Just like the Jackson Heights location, open since 2020, the second Submarino has shrimp cocktail, seafood tacos, and more. The aguachile, which comes in a volcanic stone bowl, is as good as ever." - Luke Fortney, Eater Staff
