Really tried to like it because it's close by, but the food is average at best, constantly get the overcharred/burned meat and twice the incorrect meat from what I ordered, people are polite but I've decided to just drive longer and not to come back,

I wanted to thank Tacos and Mariscos Metro Basilica for helping Glen Wilson High School Marching Band (RWMA) raise funds for the program. Your food was delicious ? and I have to admit this was my first time but it will not be my last time!

Excellent service by the older gentleman every time we visit. The food is not the best, but certainly beats expectations for a neighborhood joint and the price. Generous proportions too!

Sadly I had the same experience as some of the other yelpers here. I really wanted to like this place but the food is average at best, I ordered a shrimp and fish taco, my wife ordered a fish taco. They gave her one shrimp taco. When I told the lady at the counter she said she wrote shrimp taco so that was that. I guess I didn't speak "inglish" well enough for her. I had to pay for another fish taco because she said she heard shrimp. Terrible customer service. Go to Taco Nazo instead. Way better than this place. Do not recommend.

Marlin tacos are really good here. Don't sleep on this hole in the wall spot! Give it a shot if you're craving something different.

This restaurant is in a lot that I always drive by but have never visited. I heard about the Marlin Tacos being amazing, so I gave it a try, along with one Octopus Taco. The Marlin taco is a fish taco with fried tortillas that come with avocado and other toppings. The flavors together are so great and not fishy at all. The size is also much bigger than a street taco and two of them can fill you up. It is not the traditional fried and battered fish taco, but they have that too at the restaurant. The octopus taco was a recommendation by the owner (I think) and it was really really good too. The octopus had a really soft texture and was not chewy at all. Overall, it was a great meal! Will come again!

This place is a joke. They are the biggest tip off. I bought a coctel campechana. They gave me only shrimp. I get home and there's literally six shrimps in this cocktail that cost me $17.51 there's a tiny sliver of avocado or even the onion was scarce. I called them to tell them that they missed several ingredients and they have the nerve to question me and act like they are incapable of making mistakes and that I am somehow trying to get over on them. After about 10 minutes of being on hold and they tell me to bring back the cocktail so they can add the missing ingredients. Save yourself a headache do not go to this place

Horrible!! DO NOT waste your money. My husband and I went in and ordered two cocteles- 1 de Camaron and one campechana. We we got home we noticed both were made with just shrimp. We called and the lady was not believing me so she had to ask the cooks. After the cooks agreed that they had made the error, the lady told me to take the shrimp cocktail back so she can ADD the missing ingredients. She was so rude and unhelpful that we didn't want to eat it anymore. We also noticed that the f-ing shrimp still had the p*** sack!! Wtf who doesn't clean the shrimp?! Super disgusting! Save your money and go somewhere else.
Small place. Big taste! It's a must try! Wonder what crunchy fish tacos taste like? Come here! I always try fish tacos from other places and by the time I eat it, it's soggy but not from here. And the shrimp cocktail is to die for, if you're a shrimp. Luckily they didn't die for nothing but to satisfy my cravings. Yummy!! The service was great. The cashier was so nice and friendly. The cook, what can I say, I'm picky but I had nothing bad to say about the food. Will try and come again in the future!

They have a great variety of Mexican food here. We tried their shrimp ceviche and fish taco and I really enjoyed their ceviche, good freshness. Service is friendly. And the tortilla chips are delicious, they seem freshly made and are so crunchy tasty.

Great customer service friendly staff good tacos a great selection of food on the menu
Trust Me
the lady that helped us was really nice. certainly 5 stars for her (the cashier) but i cant say the same for the food. i ordered the shrimp burito. the taste was ok (not great but ok) but somthing was off... my stomach hurt afterwards if you know what i mean. On the other hand the ceviche was good according to the rest of my family. 3 stars for my experience.

We've ordered multiple times from this location and it is always amazing with great service. It's a small little restaurant but the Cabo burrito, shrimp quesadilla, campechanas, fish ceviche and shrimp ceviche are our favorites. I also really enjoy their agua frescas.
I got carne asada tacos but the tacos no good,
Consistently good taco joint, and good prices ?
