Best Mexican food ever! Homemade flour tortillas, delicious chips and salsa, great service, and a really cool dining experience with beautiful ocean murals and a salt water aquarium. We ordered the chicken fajitas, and it was plenty of food for two of us to split for a quick lunch. The restaurant itself is very clean, and it has air conditioning. Highly recommend if you're in Ramona, CA!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the calamari tacos are wonderful, never had those before. Then we got a bowl of the mixed seafood soup enough for two people to eat again delicious bowl of soup. This is a great place to eat what a great find.

Reserved the back room for a luncheon for 25. Staff was very accommodating and provided great service. Food was delicious and served relatively quick after orders taken. Highly recommend this location.

Just off the Main Street about a block away. Great place for breakfast, dinner, or lunch. Can be crowded during prime times but if you’re like me then go during the after the crowds time. You know, between regular meal hours. Anyway, the food is always great. The tables are big and the seating is open so you can pick the quieter spots. Let me know what you think. Enjoy Derek Wolf

A great Ramona restaraunt. Sam, the owner, has a little piece of Heaven here in Mariscos. Quiet and convenient with amazing, freshly made Mexican cuisine. My go to is the Octopus in Garlic or the three enchilada plate. They've got it all, great service, great ambiance and great food. Indoor and outdoor seating for small or large parties. There is a bar in the back for beer or Michaladas on a super hot day. Conveniently located a block off Main on the 78, don't miss this gem.!!!!

There were 9 of us and we had hot and wonderful lunch! Some breakfast is only until noon while other common Mexican favs are all day. Yummy chips!

Great place, nice atmosphere and even better drinks and food. The margaritas are really good. The Chile verde was phenomenal. The seafood combination was ok.
