“My friend and I stumbled upon this spot because we were vending at a space across the street from them. The venue we were at didn’t have chairs for people, so I came to Mariscos’ to ask if we could borrow some chairs, and buy lunch. Right away Mary, one of the servers, translated my request and was able to get me 2 chairs. Mary is incredibly kind really made my day! We ordered 2 tacos with rice and crab salad, as well as 2 horchatas for lunch.
The food was awesome! Came out steaming, smelled great and tasted even better. I felt very lucky that Mariscos is so friendly and had such amazing food and service. Highly recommend!!“

“Wonderful all around. Great service. Great food. Nice decor. Perfect street parking“

“Up until now, I have never wanted to try frog legs until I tasted theirs. Took my Mom to lunch and tried one of hers which turned into a few and now I'm hooked. They were moist, juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Very fresh and well sized. Didnt too much care for the chicken wing zings. They were too salty although fresh and crispy. Also had the seafood salad which was good. Been back again for the frog legs. FYI it is CASH ONLY. Great customer service which was a plus for me. So I didn't mind coming back considering I live no where near the restaurant.“

“I used to live in Chicago but have not for almost 20 years. My loved the Fish Keg when I was growing up & used to take me every once in a while. Came back to visit family and had to stop in and get some fish chips before I left. It tastes just like I remember. Staff is very nice as well.
It’s so nice that the Fish Keg is still around after all these years. It’s one of those places that really makes me miss being a kid and living on the North Side of Chicago.“

“Loved the chicken tenders.“

“I always enjoy Seafood Junction. I found I prefer the baked fish, I usually go with the catfish, with steamed veggies in butter sauce with a little of all the seasonings. I always get a side of the veggies to eat as another meal. The hard boiled eggs in butter, again with all the seasonings, are good as well.“

“Went here for the first time to give it a try. Honestly speaking. The place was very clean The layout was fresh. I had the chicken and fish combo. With wings catfish and talipia. The chicken was well seasoned a bit too salty for me personally but still good. Talipia was bland but the crust was good. But the Catfish can take them very far. I was very impressed and will be back regularly for their Catfish. Yummy“
