Full of life and taste! The best, freshest flavors, in Chicago are here. Mariscos Luis, located in Archer Heights. It will bring you joy with every bite you take. Every single time i drove by the place was always packed! So finally this weekend was my chance to come to this place and taste the food. As I enter the restaurant the vibe was calm and it felt like Mexico. Music was playing and the friendly waitress came to our table and took my order pretty fast. I looked at the menu and so many options to choose from but finally decided to order the Salpicon and a glass bottle cold Coke. The Salpicon is a serve-cold dish it comes with peeled shrimp, octopus, crab meat, and oysters in a special house sauce with onions, It kinda looks like ceviche. I grabbed a tostada and add it a spoon of the salpicon and when i took the bite, the millions of distinctive colorful flavors of the dish punched my tongue with so much power that i was mesmerized by it. Wow, out of this world. The dishes are big enough to share between two people. If you want to try something new with the Mexican touch come to Mariscos Luis, you wont regret it. I would definitely be coming back.

Food is very good, service so-so ambiance is bad music was playing with a lot of profanity definitely not child friendly. La comida esta muy sabrosa el servicio mas o menos pero el ambiente dejo que desear tenían música tocando con muchas vulgaridades y malas palabras definitivamente no apta para menores La musica no era para un restaurante sino una cantina

Made the trek from the north side down to the south side to try some Mexican seafood based on my brothers recommendations. If it's one thing I love ( Aside from my wife and kids) it's sea food! Walking in, my brother and I were seated promptly and the server brought some delicious "Conzume" The conzume was a bit spicy and was adorned with some Shrimp. Nevertheless, it was delicious! I would go back just for that! My brother order the Camarones ala diabla or devil shrimp and I had the camarones Zarandeados. I found myself eating of his plate as I didn't like my plate that much. It's nothing against the restaurant but I just ordered the wrong plate. My shrimp were chard and drenched in a chipotle mayo butter sauce. I ordered them because the server recommended them and I hate trying new things at places I've never been before. I will be back to order the plate my brother had as that was outta this world plus the consume!

Adorable place for some Sunday seafood! We hopped in Tyler's car and headed to the south side for some mariscos- and boy I found some delightful mariscos!! I always love traveling to smaller places that open early, have a few tables, and fill up quickly! The staff is Amazingly friendly- my Spanish is okay buy Tyler's is better-- so everything was conversed in Spanish and i answered in English and got just what I ordered: We started off with a lovely complimentary little 'hangover' cure of a cup with a shrimp in a spicy garlic broth. We didn't have a hangover but I couldn't resist this traditional treasure so I ate both of ours :) We shared a Tostada De Pulpo Y Camaron (octopus and shrimp) and it was refreshing and crisp. Lovely seafood atop a tostada...yum!! I ordered Camarones a la Diabla for my main meal: spicy and Spicy shrimp....so good, so cleansing, so fantastic! The Side salad of rich crab meat and fluffy rice were a great contrast! Delicious!! Tyler ordered Al Mojo De Ajo in garlic sauce - a fish with a garlic rub and it was beautiful to see and crispy and delicate to try! I did get a bone or two, but that's part of the experience:) A great Gem to dine at.....plus there are FULL portions of crispy tostadas and crackers as 'bread'!' On the way back, a guy was selling roses on the highway/ and Tyler bought a pak for me....I don't enjoy roses, but this was lovely!!

Always great food. BYOB cans ONLY! I usually have the vuelve la vida which is always delicious and you can truly taste the freshness in the seafood. The coctel is loaded with seafood. Every spoon is a spoonful of greatness. See my pics

Real cheap mariscos in price and when you go, you're not there for a fancy meal, you're there for the food. Husband loves their camarones ceviche since they don't add cilantro and they are very generous for the cheap price. I get the camarones a la diabla - extra spicy, and boy, they are spicy! Def. Recomend if you're looking for good mexican seafood on the low-low.
