“This is hands down the absolute best J&J Fish I've ever been to — and it's not even close. The food is cooked just right every time, and the service isn't just the best among J&J locations, it's the best of any take-out restaurant in the neighborhood.

What makes this place truly special is the family behind it. For 25 years, they've been serving this community, and the moment you walk in, you feel it. They don't just serve you — they welcome you. Walking in feels like showing up at your favorite cousin's house — they're always glad to see you and make you feel right at home.

Serving the public can be challenging these days, but this family has mastered it with warmth, pride, and heart. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor — go. You'll be hooked. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“If you’re in Chicago and looking for amazing food, S2 Grills Chicago is definitely a spot you need to check out. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff who made us feel welcome right away. The service started off great and stayed that way the entire time. We were seated very quickly and didn’t have to wait long at all. The food came out fresh and hot, and no joke; everything we tried was extremely delicious. We decided to try a little bit of everything so we could really experience the menu. We ordered the oxtails, Alfredo pasta, lamb chops, fried catfish, rib tips, baked mac & cheese, and candied yams, and every single dish was on point. The flavors were incredible and everything was cooked perfectly. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant was. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which always says a lot about a place. Great food, great service, and a clean environment; you can’t ask for much more than that. Hands down a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend S2 Grills Chicago if you’re in the area.“

“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!!“

“Disappointment this time. Service was very very slow. It took 30 minutes before our waiter came to the table to get our drink order. After much delay we finally got to order. It was over an hour after our drink orders were taken before the food was delivered. Place was busy for the the number of staff in place. Several times we asked other waiters for assistance.“

“muy buen servicio y la comida muy buena“

“su deliciosa comida y buenos precios“

“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.“

“The BEST Chili Rellanos I've had in a long time! yummy 😋. The skinny margaritas aren't bad either. A MUST visit Restaurant. Thank you for living up to and beyond my expectations.“

“Daily specials, clean, good parking, and very friendly staff“

“We did the omakase experience. Overall quite good, the fish was very good and high quality. The wasabi level on the pieces was inconsistent, mostly very pleasant but at times overpowering. We weren't a fan of the uni/roe course but that is of course personal preference (however as a big fan of uni i was slightly disappointed). Overall very good and attentive service. The tuna pieces were OUTSTANDING.“

“I’m from the coast and all my life I’ve loved sea food. My wife took me here for Father’s Day and I gotta tell you, it did not disappoint.
The wait was reasonable being a special day, they give you a cup of warm consome while you wait for your food. We had the veracruzana fillet, shrimp empanadas and a shrimp/octopus cocktail and the taste was just exquisite. It reminded me of my hometown“
