Every visit to Mariscos DJs had always been great! Love the Mariachi band. They have lots of great tasting frozen margaritas and the service is always on point. I usually get the #37 Parillada Gorjito. It has shrimp, octopus, fish & green lip mussels shelled & 1 talapia. It's enough for 2 people, but it's just as good for leftovers the next day!

Simply the Best Mexican food in Tyler! The seafood is great, but don’t over traditional dishes like fajita enchiladas. They’re fabulous!

Just by walking in the door you're taken away to another country. The colors, the music. The energy. All so beautiful and festive. But let's face it, we go out to eat for the food. Let me tell you this place does not let you down. I hope if you're coming here its for true Mexican food or seafood, or in this case Mexican style seafood because that's what you're gonna find. From the very start when they set the fresh fried chips and homemade green salsa on the table I knew it was gonna be good. It just kept getting better and better as the dishes we ordered just kept coming to the table. Hot, and fresh. The big seafood platter is amazing. Number 33. It was a variety of flavor and the price can't be beat. Oh to wash it down the beer Rita was dressed with so much flavor and was to die for. Really. You have to try this little gem tucked away over on Erwin St.

Delicious food and a great atmosphere. The pulpo was cooked to perfection and all the salsas were spot on. And the corn tortillas... easily some of the best I've ever had, hold well but soft on the bite with a great flavor. Service was a bit hit and miss but just get someone's attention and they will take care of you immediately. Will be back for more.

The best authentic Mexican food I've had in Tyler TX, very nice staff. Atmosphere is very positive. Seating is adequate. Prices are cheaper than some fast food places. The ingredients are high quality and that shows up in the taste.
