I went to a party in the salon that they have in the back, food was delicious, the place very clean. I recommended for parties.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Renting from Mariscos La Palma was hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. The entire venue was a disaster before we even rented it — dirty floors, unkept spaces, and absolutely no attention to detail. It felt like no one cared to prepare the space at all.
To make matters worse, the staff was extremely low and clearly lazy about doing their jobs. Drinks even came out with bugs inside of them, which is beyond unacceptable and disgusting. That alone should tell you how careless they are about cleanliness and professionalism.
On top of that, I personally walked into the kitchen and was shocked at what I saw — roaches crawling around, dirty conditions, and the pans and pots they were serving food from were filthy before even being used. Worst of all, anyone could just walk into the kitchen, which is completely unprofessional and unsafe.
The so-called “owner” Danny is incredibly unprofessional, rude, and acts like he’s doing you a favor when you’re literally paying him. His brother, who is apparently supposed to help run things, was sloppy and only added to the mess instead of fixing it.
Overall, this place is a nightmare to deal with — unorganized, dirty, and completely unprofessional from top to bottom. Save yourself the stress, embarrassment, and wasted money. There are plenty of better venues out there that actually care about their customers.
We rented Mariscos La Palma venue for our baby shower and had a terrible experience. From the start, the venue was very dirty — bathrooms were not stocked, toilet paper was left on top of toilets, zero toilet liners. Bathroom was never stocked. Cheap plastic dirty tables, and mismatched dirty chairs. They were still cleaning and picking up during our paid rental time. Completely unprofessional.
The staff was basically just the owners family member, and one hired worker — and it showed. The promised white tablecloths were late, mismatched, and stained. When I pointed it out, Danny (the supposed owner) brushed it off saying, “but they are white,” offering no solution. No quality, no professionalism.
Lighting was another issue. I asked for the ceiling lights to stay low and neutral for an elegant atmosphere. Instead, he switched them to a harsh hot pink club look — after I specifically said no hot pink. It was our event, not his. The TV screen we asked to be cleared of his logo was only changed when he felt like it.
To make matters worse, Danny hung around the whole night. He forced us to end the music early at 2 AM (despite our agreement for 3 AM), yet still posted the musicians on his Instagram with his logo in the background to make his venue look good.
And finally, the drinks served at the bar had fruit flies. When mentioned, they made excuses instead of offering replacements or refunds.
This venue lies, has no quality control, no professionalism, and zero respect for clients. A good business owner takes feedback to improve — this one did the opposite. Avoid this place at all costs.

Good tasting food, calm atmosphere, and super friendly staff. I come here once a month for a Thursday meet up with friends and try different items on the menu. They are all delicious.
Food was delish, very fresh! Great customer service. Give it a try!!!
First time and will definitely be back. 3 Fish tacos & a beer $10.99 and they are good size tacos. So good. Also had botana de camarón. Friendly staff!
I am not a big fan of mariscos. This is one of the best mariscos spots I actually enjoy. I highly recommend the shrimp and fish tacos, the camarones dinamitas, camarones de cucarachas, Coctel de Camaron, the aguachiles is actually one of the best sauces I've actually tasted, not to mention there other Mexican dishes they have on the menu. I also rented the hall for events and the menu for their catering services are good as well and the hostility from dining in and renting the hall has been phenomenal. Anyone wanting to eat good mariscos I highly recommend this place
Horrible service food was not good at all. Order a shrimp cocktail and tasted like water with shrimp super nasty don’t recommend place.

Bad service bad food
I would've given less stars if possible. Horrible service. Took more than 1 hour to serve. Food had a bitter taste,completely false advertising. If you like chips and salsa come here. That's the only good thing
Customer service was excellent, and food was delicious. Chill place to drinks some beers and eat mariscos.
