Mariscos La Ceiba | Hollister

This is an excellent Mexican restaurant in Hollister. The ceviche is very good, and carnitas fries will satisfy any appetite. Excellent michelada, get the large with shrimp.

One of my friends recently visited this place and had a very bad experience. He ordered a prawn dish, but the prawns were not fresh and had a strong unpleasant smell. He mentioned that the taste was completely off and he couldn’t even continue eating.
Because of this, he had to leave without finishing the food. When he informed the staff, they didn’t respond properly and showed no concern.
Overall, it sounds like very poor food quality and disappointing service. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place.

A friend of mine recently visited this place and ordered what looked like a seafood cocktail, but the experience was very disappointing. The presentation might seem appealing at first, but the quality of the food did not match it at all. The dish felt overly watery, lacked proper seasoning, and didn’t taste fresh. The crackers and sides served with it were basic and didn’t complement the dish well. On top of that, the overall experience was affected by slow service and lack of attention from the staff. It felt like there was no care put into either the food or the customer experience. Considering the price, the quality was definitely not worth it. Unfortunately, this visit left a bad impression, and I wouldn’t recommend this place based on this experience.

A friend of mine recently stopped by this place to order food, and the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. The service was quite poor, with staff showing little interest in helping customers and creating a very unwelcoming atmosphere. Despite placing a simple order, the waiting time was unnecessarily long, which was frustrating. Unfortunately, the food itself was even worse—it lacked flavor, seemed poorly prepared, and didn’t feel fresh at all. Considering the prices, the quality was far below expectations. On top of that, the overall cleanliness and organization of the place left a lot to be desired. It’s really disappointing when a place fails on both service and food quality. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t recommend visiting, as there are definitely better options available.

One of my friends recently visited this place to order food, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. From the moment they arrived, the service was slow and unorganized, with staff appearing inattentive and not very welcoming. The wait time for the food was much longer than expected, even though the place wasn’t very busy. When the food finally arrived, it did not meet expectations at all—both in terms of taste and quality. The dishes lacked freshness, were poorly prepared, and did not justify the price charged. Additionally, the overall hygiene and cleanliness of the place were not up to standard, which made the experience even worse. What should have been a simple and enjoyable visit ended up being frustrating and unsatisfactory. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place to others.

Food is always consistent every time I come here. Love their mineragua preparada if you’re not in the mood for alcohol. Tastes like non alcohol beer in my opinion.

Everything was delicious! The ceviche was fresh, the flavors were on point, and the portions were great. The service was even better—the young lady helping us was super kind and attentive the whole time. The whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

A place to enjoy many seafood dishes!!

Food was very good. Had the carne asada and shrimp. Homemade tortillas are very good. Chips and salsa also great. I wish the menu was more white boy friendly! Ha I don’t speak Spanish so it was a bit of a challenge. Waitress was very nice. Menu is huge. Lots of choices. Food was very fresh. Large portions for sure! Solid place!! You know it’s authentic when you’re the only English speaking person in the restaurant!!! Good sign!! I will be back when I’m in Hollister!

Food was amazing and the lady that serve me was nice and attentive.

Fresh Delicious food and excellent service.
