I don’t think I’ve ever left the review on a restaurant before but due to the fantastic service actually the best service I’ve ever received this five star review is worth it. Our server, Pablo attended to my entire family with kindness and patience. We will definitely be back. God bless you.

The food looks pretty but it literally is so bland it actually makes me sad. The chorizo queso tastes like nothing. The chorizo is so dry and bland I’d almost swear it was plain ground beef in cheese water. I genuinely don’t know how there can be flavorless chorizo when chorizo is heavily seasoned sausage! My boyfriend’s burrito was dry, flavorless, and over cooked. My roommate got ACP (literally something so simple) and complained how boring and flavorless it was. The salsa is pretty much tomato water…Honestly would’ve had a better experience if I’d ordered from Taco Bell.

Seven seas was excellent. Great portion size! Quality and speed of food was great. On Saturday night they had a guitarist come in and play right when we left at 7pm. Since this was a first time for a newborn to travel with us. This experience will last a lifetime…awesome place overall

I grew up eating here when it was Mucho Mexico. We decided to try it out when El Patron opened. The staff is always friendly and the food is excellent! Tonight we ordered from the birria menu and it did not disappoint! The birria tacos are amazing. I ate two of the three and decided I needed to leave a review 😂 Highly recommend 👍🏼

I had the pleasure of visiting Marisco El Patron while in town and was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the fajita lunch special, which came with three different types of meats served sizzling on a hot skillet – absolutely delicious. My favorite part of the meal was the hot, spicy salsa paired with fresh, crispy chips – a perfect combination!

The atmosphere was fantastic, with a great vibe that made the experience even better. The staff was incredibly fast, friendly, and attentive, constantly checking to make sure I had everything I needed. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers.

If you're looking for a place with great food and excellent service, Marisco El Patron is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!
