Mariscos Vuelve a la Vida Restaurant & Banquet Hall

It gets one star only because I have to give it something to allow me to review this dump. Everything happened in this order… You walk in and it’s humid/​muggy, turn on the AC. Flies flying around everywhere to the point that I had to get a menu to swat them. Salsa was good but chips were cold and stale. Roach about an inch long crawls along the side of the table and as I jumped out of the booth three employees run over to me to try convincing me the roach didn’t drop into my purse that was wide open on the bench right under the moving roach. After I cleaned out my purse I was handed a 14.47 dollar bill. Did I really have to pay for our two sodas and empanadas!!! Disgusted! While waiting to pay we noticed a few more bugs on the floor (crickets and upside down roaches)

We were greeted by a nice young lady and we were seated. Spanish music is loud but enjoyable. Horchata was yummy! Salsa served with chips was very good.
We ordered the special which was shrimp cocktail. It was delicious. Good size shrimp tasted fresh and served with avocado.

We went on karaōke night so we had no issue with the off tune singing, in fact it was about the best thing in the restaurant. We were a bit disappointed by some of the bad language of the karaōke MC though.
The hosted was great and she also took the time to joke with our daughters as we left.
The waitress was less than helpful and seemed a little annoyed to even be there. When she took our drink order she told us there were no fountain drinks even though they were on the menu which meant «Mexican coke» was my wife’s only option. This also meant no refills which is a tad annoying. When I asked which beer they had she just stared at me so I ordered the club sandwich of beers… coors light.
My wife ordered the pulpo mojo de ajo which had decent flavor but was swimming in oil and was too salty.
I kept looking at the menu for a plate to order but all that was listed was tacos and burritos for carne asada. Finally I asked if there was a carne asada plate and the waitress said yes with no price given or explanation why there was no listing on the menu. The meat was very tough and flavorless but came with grilled red onions which were a nice touch.
Salsa was decent and the chips were fine but nothing stood out.
We will keep on the search for a «go to» restaurant in our area but this one is not even on the short list.

Fresh seafood… If you don’t mind the Mexican music and Fridays Spanish karaōke night. You are going to like this place. The seafood taste fresh

Good place with good food. Service is better if you speak Spanish. There is s bit of a language barrier. It wasn’t a problem for me though. :)

I had the shrimp cocktail and it was great! I also ordered the breaded shrimp and it was also very good, I don’t usually eat the beans or rice but in this case they were both equally good. Needless to say the micheladas were delicious too!
