Hector's Mariscos - Chula Vista

We always come to eat and take out, but yesterday it was special because it was also my brother's favorite place when he is back in the states. In short we have ordered almost one of all on the tacos and some other dishes and desserts. The Palomaso was delivered.

I visit my in-laws every year, and I always eat at Hector 's. I feel the price is worth it for the quality of the seafood and it is always consistently good and the staff is very friendly. The Pulpo Zarandeado is my absolute favorite. It 's octopus smothered in a spicy, creamy sauce that is so delicious. I came with my kids this time and sat outside. The server was very friendly and the kid meal (cheese quesadilla) was brought out right away, without having to ask for it early. My only two complaints and reason for not giving 5 stars: 1. The highchair was not very clean and I had to wipe it down. The highchairs are very old and do not have the buckle, so it was not very safe for my 10month old who tried to climb out several times. Please get some new highchairs. 2. I also ordered the Pulpo Zarandeado as a to-go order several days ago. I included the photo of both the to-go order (in styrofoam container) and the meal I had today. It was very good, but I definitely feel like the portion was not the same size (smaller) compared to what you get when you come into the restaurant to eat. For the price, please try to give the same portion size in the to-go orders! I need this recipe to make at home when I go back to Virginia. ??

The best margaritas in town. The Aguachile is bomb. If you're into tacos, you must have the Taco Gobernador and the Taco de Marlin. They serve lobster Puerto Nuevo style with all the garnishments. I recommend a michelada with your favorite beer. Molcajete Mixto has New York steak and grilled shrimp, mushrooms and chili sauce, delicious. Do not miss their popular Popeye Oysters. In simple words, The best seafood in Chula Vista!

My wife and I come to eat at Hector's when we are in the area. I personally love their fish soup and their grilled salmon while my wife likes their ceviche. Service was great. We will be back ...

Really good tacos and they also give you free chips and salsa. It is a little on the pricier side when it comes to tacos, but overall a good experience. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly.
