" Dining at El 7 Mares was a delight! The family-style atmosphere puts you at ease, allowing for enjoyable conversations over a bucket of shrimp. Their shrimp with garlic sauce stole the show, and I would definitely recommend it. My sizable portion matched the price nicely. The staff was friendly but could use a bit more training for efficiency. What I loved most was that their offerings are true to Mexican cuisine, giving a genuine feel. Will definitely come again!

" El 7 Mares offers a charming and cozy atmosphere, ideal for enjoying good Mexican seafood. My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch, although the service was a tad on the slow side. Still, the deliciousness of the food made up for it, especially the shrimp tacos and their superb cocktails. The place had a nice family vibe. I had some of the best fish tacos here, so fresh and perfectly spiced—it made the wait worth it. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try El 7 Mares based on all the rave reviews. The decor is charming, giving a nod to authentic Mexican culture. The food is quite tasty; my favorites were the garlic shrimp and the ceviche, which were fresh and full of flavor. However, my only complaint was the service, which could be slower than expected. There seemed to be a mix-up with our order, but the staff was polite and handled it well. Overall, a nice dining experience, and I will return to try more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" An unforgettable experience! I celebrated my birthday here with family, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share. The 7 Mares coctel was a standout, rich in flavors and beautifully presented. We also tried the misnamed 'presidential platter', but thankfully, the fish tacos more than made up for it. Each taco was filled to the brim with fresh fish, leaving everyone at the table satisfied and impressed. The atmosphere was lively, and our server was friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough! Definitely coming back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming to El 7 Mares Restaurant for years. It's my go-to place for casual seafood dining. The ambiance is familiar, filled with locals who love this place as much as I do. My favorites are the ceviche and shrimp tacos. You can't go wrong with their fish and shrimp dishes. The service is typically decent—sometimes it's quick, other times not so much. But generally, the freshness of the food keeps me coming back. Keep it up! " (*Curated Review*)

" El 7 Mares has long been my family's favorite spot! I've been eating here since I was a child, and it still holds up to my memories. We decided to order a mix of appetizers to share, including the shrimp cocktails and fish ceviche. They were simply the best! I also tried their fish burrito, which was a delightful experience. The staff was friendly, and there was a lovely atmosphere throughout the meal. We left full and happy and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to El 7 Mares based on a family tradition, and as always, it didn't disappoint! The food was fantastic - we loved the fried mojarra and shrimp tacos. The service was fast and friendly, even though they were really busy during our visit. The atmosphere really captured that Mexican vibe, making it a fun dining experience. My family and I have made great memories here, and I loved how we could enjoy good food together. For any seafood lovers, this place should be on your list. " (*Curated Review*)
