About Marisqueria El Escandalo

Marisqueria El Escandalo is a hidden gem located in a strip mall, but its unassuming exterior should not be mistaken for a lack of quality. The restaurant serves outrageously delicious food, with a strong focus on seafood that is thoughtfully plated and presented. The menu features a fabulous blend of seafood-forward dishes and traditional Mexican cuisine, offering options that are not run of the mill. Guests have noted the quality of both the seafood and other meats as excellent. Complementary seafood tostadas are served as soon as guests are seated, and the shrimp empanadas and aguachile are also popular choices. The interior is family-friendly, clean, and has great aesthetics, making it a cozy place for special occasions, like anniversaries. It is also a nice spot to watch a game or enjoy live music on Saturday evenings. While the service has received mixed reviews, with some noting mistakes in orders and long wait times, others have praised the friendly, helpful staff and their commitment to using super fresh ingredients. Must-try dishes include the Lunch Grouper tacos and the Collared Greens egg roll appetizer. Despite some service hiccups, this restaurant is sure to delight even the most discerning palates and is highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great meal.
