Mariscos El 7 Mares #2 - Mission

Really great fish soup, and a very friendly and attentive

Stopped for lunch. They bring you chips, salsa, (3 kinds) and also a small appetizer. We had their lunch specials. They all were served with a wonderful fish soup. Two had the fish tacos and two had the seafood ceviche. Hugh portions, seafood done right, excellent service.

I was surprised ? but with all the menu options, then the flavor ?, prices were fair ?, I discover the place by accident and its was a pleasure

First off let us say this is Spanish only option. It is as if you were in Mexico. Menus are all Spanish and servers only speak Spanish as well. After we have that warning out of the way. We found it kind of refreshing. Yes it was a bit difficult to deal with as we were not sure what we were ordering (as we are not Spanish speakers). Our food option was a seafood platter. It was okay. Nothing rave worthy. The atmosphere is a box with tables in a strip mall setting. Nothing bad to report but little interest. For us we found this place an overall 3 star stop. There was a language barrier but not down rating them for that but did not feel we had a better than average stop here. We would not return.

It just wasn’t good. Ordered my favorite (super basic) sopa de mariscos. Everything you could think of was bad. From discolored pulpo, lukewarm caldo, old crusty tortillas, suspicious mussels, and RUBBER as hell shrimp. We couldn’t finish our soups. We got them to go out of embarrassment of asking them to throw more than 1/2 it. It sucks, cause I was so excited! They gave us this tiny sopa de pescado when we got there and it ROCKED. Then it went downhill, I ordered a drink. The presentation was super cute, but damn $19 for a medium margarita? My drink cost more than my bad soup. Waiter was good. I took the L, paid $55 for 2 bad soups and a medium margarita. I’m not going back.
