**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag at Mariscos** Mariscos, a once-beloved establishment, now faces challenges in maintaining its reputation. While some commend its authentic flavors and friendly service, others express disappointment over declining food quality and high prices. Issues like limited staffing, plastic utensils, and underwhelming dishes have tarnished the experience for many patrons. Though nostalgic for its homemade meals and vibrant atmosphere, customers are increasingly considering alternative Mexican dining options. The ambiance remains warm, with ample parking and a few redeeming qualities, yet the consensus suggests a need for improvement to regain its former charm and quality.

If you happen to visit Vista, I recommend you try this restaurant for some Mexican food that tastes home made without all the fancy stuff you find at some other restaurants. The hot sauces are good and so is the food. The interior has a more authentic Mexican feel to it and it is located in a plaza with ample parking. View all feedback.
What Bill S dislikes about Mariscos Las Palmas:
I have been somewhat of a regular at Mariscos and our last experience will be our last. Either there is new ownership or something. We recently visited for dinner. A couple larger tables but otherwise quiet. A waitress and a cook. Challenged to get the food out and then they gave me a little plastic bag with my plastic fork and spoon in it like on an airplane. The prices are definetly up there as well. Vista has no s... View all feedback.

This a a great authentic Mexican restaurant with a friendly staff willing to accommodate your needs. I come here often because of the awesome food quality and generous staff hospitality. 100 recommend this location to anyone looking for delicious food or bomb micheladas!
The ceviche is really good and fresh I've been coming here with my family for years I recommend the seafood and burritos ??

The prices are definetly up there as well. Vista has no shortage of Mexican restaurants. Properly staffing, quality setting at the table etc is key. Not to mention the food. It was not bad but not good enough to compensate for all the other negatives.
Time for a Pandemic update, two years in. I am glad that they're still standing, yet the pandemic and now inflation has taken a toll on this once fine restaurant. The owner and the staff are still as wonderful as before, and yet the food quality has nosedived, and for the first time in years I tried Carnitas. I should have tried it elsewhere, and I will next time, only somewhere where the meat doesn't arrive heavily (and inedibly pre salted. I fear that inflation is impacting them more than the pandemic, judging by the lower quality of the dishes the serve, and speaking of dishes, their proper utensils have been replaced with the cheapest plastic cutlery. This no longer feels like a proper restaurant and I sigh for the environment. It's sad to see, and more sad is the need to find a new place for fine Mexican Food. Maybe we'll have to head to Mi Guadajara in Escondido. We haven't been there since the pandemic began and maybe they've better weathered the storm. When the stars and reviews begin moving up, we will try here again here's crossing my fingers :
