50 Best Seafood Restaurants near San Carlos

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!“

“Defintely Poke'd Out after the lunch. Ordering method is broken down nicely and listed down well in the menu. It goes like Base + Poke + Mix-in + Sauce + Add-ons. I have chosen the medium sized bowl where I got 4 scoops of poke instead of mentioned 3, all the sizes get additional scoop as complementary. Chose couple of miso shrimp and spicy crab(it was spicy indeed) scoops. Tofu medley was not that great, tough to satisfy vegetarians or vegans. I felt the quantity was overwhelming for one person, small would be more than enough. Priced around $20 for the medium, it's on the expensive side, but the diverse selections make it recommendable. Note that it’s only a to-go restaurant.“

“Walked in not expecting much but was greeted lovingly by a sweet family running shop by themselves. They seemed delighted that we were eating In and the small homey setting really felt like they inviting us to sit at their table. The spam masubi was incredible, served fresh, with a sweet sauce, and a little touch of pork sung in there made all the difference. I got the wagyu beef with egg meal. It also came with that signature sauce and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. As we left, packing up the leftovers off the heaping plates of food, the father ran out to give us some extra sauce and make sure we didn’t leave without knowing how much we were appreciated. The incredible food and the family’s hospitality truly made it feel like I was eating a home cooked meal with my grandparents and I would love to come back and support them more!“

“i wish they would not use seed oils as their food did block my insulin from working and sugar spike stayed all night. greek restaurants are supposed to use olive oil only. the restaurant is great for sharing and having fun with friends. music and dj was great too. this is a awesome addition to san carlos.“

“Had a great experience here! The calamari was crispy and delicious, the pasta was full of flavor, and the dessert was the perfect way to finish the meal. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. A special thank you to Mr. G
for his warm hospitality and attentive service. He made us feel truly welcome. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Our take-out fish and chips were disappointing. Chips were undercooked and not crisp. The fish under the brown hard crust was OK but the whole presentation was unlike any light crispy dish our family has ever had as fish and chips. Not a repeat meal for us.“

“Great restaurant“

“The parihuela de mariscos, anticuchos, tallarines verdes con carne and pescado sudado were all good, well served plates. The empanada the day I went there was not well prepared… the chicha morada was very good and the dessert lucuma ice cream was excellent.“

“I recommend Tacos Y MARISCOS El GORDO because of their yummy delicious SHRIMP tacos are my favorite plus I’ve had their Quesadilla and Mexican style shrimp cocktail… I like the fact that their children whom are teenagers work part time whom are polite and friendly like their parents“

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Neal’s Coffee Shop is one of those rare spots that still feels like a true neighborhood gem. The moment you walk in, you get that classic, old-school diner vibe—warm, welcoming, and unpretentious.

The food is consistently great, especially the breakfast. The portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, and you can tell they actually care about quality. Whether it’s pancakes, omelets, or a simple cup of coffee, it always hits the spot.

What really makes this place stand out is the service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit.

If you’re looking for a relaxed place with solid comfort food and a genuine local feel, Neal’s Coffee Shop is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back again for sure.“

Cash only. Small parking lot. Family owned and operated. The carne asada is delicious! Actually I haven’t had a bad meal here. Take away is available. You won't be disappointed . Skip the la cumbre and pancho villa. Come get the best!“

“The peppercorn deep fried Dungeness crab was delicious. It was cooked just right. Meat was fresh, tender and tasty esp with the chopped garlic and peppercorns. The lightly breaded deep fried shell was perfectly seasoned, not too salty. Definitely will come again!“

“The Super Shrimp Burrito is the best thing on the menu, idk what the chef does back there but he’s amazing. I literally come here maybe once every 2-3 weeks just because it’s so good. best thing to do is get chips and put it in the burrito. Fire!!!“

“This is surely one of the finest place in the region. Whenever I come to this place I am absolutely satisfied. They keep their very high level service and the highest level of dishes they give. You always win with this place. Highly recommended.“

“food place for family and hang out“

“I ate there last week for the first time in several years. The menu is large and many different styles of food. I had the Prime Rib and it was EXCELLENT. There was 2 others in my party and they were equally impressed. Another benefit is that there are no parking problems. I will definitely eat there again.“

“conozco a los dueños de Estampas desde hace muchos años y la calidad de la Comida es extraordinaria pero más que eso la calidad de persona que es el dueño es A1 no solo lo digo yo lo confirman los años que se mantiene en el Top de los restaurantes peruanos de esa área 10 de 10“

“Wonderful dinner at Roja last night! The Crudo and Pork Belly were incredible, with the pork belly absolutely to die for. The Ribeye was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, and the lemon custard was the perfect finish. My mom likes her salmon very well done, so we asked the kitchen to cook it a bit more, and they were so kind and obliging about it. A truly lovely experience. We’ll be back!“

“favorite place to go with friends“

“One of my fave dumpling places—only place that I found that had lamb handmade dumplings. The handmade dumplings are always so juicy and flavorful. I also love the salt and pepper tofu and green onion pancakes—they’re always perfectly crispy. The frozen dumplings are also really easy to steam at home. 10/10“

“Wow! First time here and I was blown away by the excellent food I was served. I was not expecting this level given the location and the humble appearance of the restaurant.

Out of their huge menu, I selected three dishes and they all came out within 10 min! All the food tasted delicious. Seasoned perfectly. Cooked perfectly. The orchata drink w/ coconut was excellent too and loved that it was lightly sweet.

I ate half of everything and took the other half home in clear plastic containers. I ordered a second orchata to go. I never take food home from a restaurant. NEVER. I always leave a lot of food behind and let it get thrown away. Always. But I scrapped the plates clean off of all the food that was left because I wanted to eat it all later for dinner. It was all that good. The only thing I left behind was the massive random onion (?).

Overall, outstanding food.

The waitresses and bartender were welcoming and courteous and always ready/available.

Will definitely return.“

“Came here for dinner and ordered the special for two. We were seated right away, which is always a great start. The service stood out—our hostess was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal.

Food came out quickly. The soup wasn’t quite my personal style, but the entrees more than made up for it—everything tasted fresh, well-cooked, and flavorful, and the meat was especially tender.

Overall, a really pleasant experience with warm service and solid dishes. Would definitely come back!“
