" Great place to gather with friends, especially on Taco Tuesday. I always order the camaron tacos and a michelada. The atmosphere is vibrant, and it's a good spot to catch the game. The food is consistently good, and the service is pretty quick! " (*Curated Review*)

" The wait time here can be a bit long on weekends, but trust me, it’s worth it! I tried the mixed seafood platter, and it was packed with freshness and flavor. The staff was a bit busy but still managed to check on us frequently. I highly recommend the margaritas as well—they're super tasty! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fantastic family dinner here! The caldo de 7 mares was a hit for everyone. The flavors were robust and really hit the spot! I also appreciated how clean the establishment was. Service was quick, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. The portions are definitely worth the price; we left feeling full and satisfied. This is a must-try if you love seafood! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Mariscos El Pulpo, and it was a wonderful experience! The service was phenomenal right from the start. The staff sang 'Happy Birthday' and made me feel special, which added a nice personal touch. The diverse menu has something for everyone. We ordered a mix of seafood and meat dishes—everything was so fresh and seasoned perfectly. It was the perfect way to celebrate with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hesitant to visit because of some mixed reviews, but I’m glad I did! The seafood was fresh and well prepared—the aguachile was exceptional! I did notice the service slowed down a bit as the restaurant got busier, but they were friendly and quick to help with our requests. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try Mariscos El Pulpo after hearing so many good things. The fish tacos were fresh, but I expected more flavorful seasoning. The service was friendly, but it felt a bit slow. I might return, but I’m not convinced it lives up to the hype. " (*Curated Review*)
