Excellent from start to finish!! Ambiance was pleasant and relaxing. The service was very good. Our waitress was so nice and patient. She explained every dish we asked about in detail and the food was even better than expected. The most surprising and most delicious part was the ice cream we had for dessert! The absolute best I’ve ever had - and I’m an ice cream lover!! It homemade and we were only upset we had to get to a show next door that we couldn’t sit and savor it the way it needed. I would go back just for dessert - but of course I’d get food too.
The service was fantastic, but unfortunately the food didn't quite live up to the experience. The seasoning felt inconsistent across the dishes. The mussels were overly salty, while the short rib was noticeably underseasoned. The cornbread had great flavor but was a bit too greasy. The tuna and salmon were both just okay and didn't really stand out. The ends of the octopus were so badly burnt that they were inedible. On a more positive note, the shrimp and the beans and rice were the highlights of the meal and ended up being our favorite dishes.
I made it my business to stop in this time around while in Chicago. I am definitely a seafood girl so indeed I wanted to try. I was greeted kindly , staff was very pleasant. My friend and I sat at the bar for drinks and light dining. We started with some appetizers and the food was delicious we ended doing a main dish and dessert as well. For starters we had the oysters achiote pretty darn good! You know I love a good camarones a la plancha dish and these were something special!! I love the light kick and tanginess they had to it. For our main we went with the mussels and fries such a good pairing , we loved the sauce that comes with it!!! The drink we were ordering was very refreshing and had egg yolk in and it was tequila based , no longer on menu but it was great! Last we had the cutest white corn macaroon so cute and tasty! Overall we had a really great experience at Maricsos San Pedro , i will definitely be returning such a good spot!
Beautiful place and delicious bites, albeit quite pricey. Marg pitchers off happy hour were nearly $80. We were, however, very happy with all that we ordered, tasty and well-executed. Loved the house mignonette for the oysters. The king salmon aguachile, tuna tostada, crab rangoon empanadas, and half roasted chicken were standouts. Fun spot to do share plates with friends. Service could definitely use some work; we had to remind our server about the last plate we ordered, pacing was inconsistent, our plates got removed before we were ready, and then when we were ready to go, we had to track our server down to close-out.
Absolutely phenomenal food and service from start to finish. Michelle coursed out our food thoughtfully so like a crescendo of flavors at a pace that maintained the integrity of temperatures and textures. And when the bar was slammed making craft cocktails, she brought us complimentary shots to thank us for the wait. The food runner and wait assistant were also on top of things consistently changing our dishware and refilling water. Its truly hard to pick our favorites. All the dishes were eloquently balanced with flavor and had complex fresh textures. The maitake mushrooms (not pictured) were a table favorite because of their tenderness with a touch of crisp on the smaller fringes. The mussels had a rich and slightly creamy broth, and we were elated it came with BOTH fresh bread and fries. The Sonora octopus dog is a must try unique elevated twist to a Sonoran dessert classic. The mole tamale with duck confit is rich and had nice depth and subtle heat. I recommend sharing everything so you can try it all! Muchas gracias!
