Mariscos El Charco is a restaurant known for its lively atmosphere and delicious food. The drinks are a highlight, with one reviewer mentioning that every drink was "so delicious" and another praising the "light tangy sauce" of the Mojarra Victoria dish. The service is friendly and welcoming, with staff going out of their way to accommodate English-speaking customers. The restaurant offers a variety of seafood dishes, with the Mojarra Victoria being a standout option. This dish, which includes a whole tilapia with shrimp, mussels, and octopus, is described as the "best seafood dish" one reviewer has ever eaten. While the portions are large and the quality of the seafood is high, some customers feel that the prices are high, with one noting that tacos are small and drinks are expensive. Despite these concerns, the restaurant provides a good atmosphere, and many families enjoy the experience, though some may prefer a quieter environment without the karaoke.
