Marisco Grill on Burnet
Victor M. Martinez, Jr.
salsa as soon as we sat down. Salsa was very good and the chips were not
greasy at all. I started with the Vuelve a la vida cocktail (shrimp,
oysters, octopus, avocado, onion) which was very good. Much better than
the cocktail I had at Curra's the other week. My sidekick got the nachos
compuestos, which were dubbed the best in town after tasting them. I had
the camarones al mojo de ajo and my companion had the pescado a la
veracruzana (as usual). Both were very good, served with a nice white rice
and a medley of veggies. We washed it all down with a couple of pretty
good margaritas. Total for the food was $34, not bad at all for the
quality and quantity.
Service was attentive, even though it got kinda crowded by the time we
finished our meal and there were only two servers for the whole
restaurant.
Bottomline, go check them out. You won't be disappointed. BTW, it's a
seafood place, don't go in and order beef enchiladas.

If we knew what we were doing it would not be called research, would it?

We went Saturday night and totally agree. The 'ritas are
quite good. Didn't have the seafood cocktail, but nearly
everyone else there was. I had the Monterrey plate, my husband
had the Marinera. Good, tasty, portions are HUGE and very
reasonably priced seafood. It wasn't very crowded there
when we went, but we got there about 6 so maybe that is
early for them.
until soon, Hope

Just North of Koenig Lane before you get to Justin Lane on the left, near
where the Burnet Drive In used to be.

Isn't this related to the Mariscos in the parking lot off Riverside? Sure
sounds the same, though a bit more expensive.

According to their website they have 2 locations, the one on Burnet and
one downtown, on 6th street I think. Since 'marisco' is the spanish word
for "seafood", I'm guessing many restaurants might include it in their name.

Not sure if Mariscos Grill is the same restaurant group as
Mariscos Seafood. However, I've eaten at both and you
can't go wrong with either one.

Mariscos Grill is only slightly more expensive, and it's because
everything is made to order with FRESH fresh seafood.

It is my understanding they are owned by the same family and serve
similar menus. The one off Riverside has that kind of South Austin
ambience that I like. And lower prices.

Quite a bit lower--a popular after-work place for beer and chow.

Hey, don't blame me!! It was the owners who
named the place!! Kinda like the souvenir place called
"La Tienda Gift Shop" in San Antonio?!

Still, there seemed to be a lot of blue collar types
at the more expensive place on Burnet -- having the
HUGE margaritas and the seafood cocktails.

I used to live in The El Paseo in San Jose, about 2 blocks
from the El Camino. My rent went up, about 8 stories and
now my borther lives there in almost the eactly some spot (10ft
higher and about 30 yards to the left. While the rent was only
$450 back then, he paid close to .65meg 10 years later.
I got him hookesd on Vietnames restrurants and chicks, so he
moved there.
