Mariscos el submarino

Very good tacos at a very fair price. These are probably some of the best seafood tacos I’ve ever had, even better than once I’ve had in California or Mexico. The large shrimp with cheese taco is by far my favorite, the ceviche is also good, and the restaurant itself is always packed with a lot of energy. I’ve ate in there in person, I’ve only ever picked up food, which is very efficient with them and fairly quick.

Makes me feel like I’m eating in Mexico 🥹🥳🫶🏻

We have been meaning to check it out for awhile and we were not disappointed! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The staff were very friendly helping us with the menu and with their recommendations. This place can a place for a quick bite or relaxing spot for eating with friends/family.

This is definitely my favorite new restaurant in Jersey City and we are lucky to have Mariscos el Submarino in our backyard! Mexican seafood is amazing and this place has fresh, fairly priced, and excellent quality food with a spicy kick - all served with a smile.

After several visits, we have tried: shrimp cocktail, which was spectacular with a good portion even for the small version, with a tangy sauce and avocado; an out-of-this-world good tuna tostada; and yummy fish, shrimp, and craken (octopus/pulpo) tacos. The craken got the best reactions of the tacos we’ve tried. I also love the caldo de camarón, especially on a chilly day.

Cocktails are great, too. The mezcal margarita with passion fruit was tasty, not too sweet, and refreshing, I’d love to see a pineapple option. The paloma is also a good drink.

Service is super friendly, genuine, and efficient. Servers are proud of the excellent food they bring to the table.

Next visit we will try the camarones Zarandeados, the grilled shrimp look mouthwatering on the menu. Last tip: a medley of hot sauces is on each table. Try the habanero with pineapple salsa, it’s so good that we bought a bottle to take home with us.

Food was amazing! This is my new favorite spot in JC.
I’ve lived in the area for over 7 years, and this is the best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever tried. I ordered the Gobernador, my favorite! Great location and great staff. Highly recommended!

I'm addicted to this place and have accidentally conditioned myself to crave ceviche, grilled shrimp, and a corona anytime I hear trumpets and guitars or step into bright fluorescent lighting. 5/5.

Excellent Mexican food that you can hardly get elsewhere. I love every dish ordered. The staff is very helpful and friendly too - he patiently explained the menu to us as we don’t know Spanish.

I just wish they could have English menu.

Have been to this place twice, and I think it’s the best and most authentic Mexican food in the Jersey City area! We ordered the Taco Kraken (octopus taco), Costra taco (ribeye), guacamole, and grilled shrimp. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was great too. They even refilled our chips after we finished them. Highly recommend!
