El Muelle

Really? 4 and 5 Starts for what?

Their dishes are absolutely low level knockoffs of other great seafood restaurants in the area.

The first problem with their menu is their menu LOL They threw everything at it but French Crepes and Pizza lol Complete tell sign of a jack of all trades master of absolutely nothing.

Keep driving to Mariscos Luis for great seafood this place is awful.

I can tell you were to find the authentic version of each one of the dishes they ripped off from other restaurants that truly specialize in making quality seafood. This place is is not good don't be fooled by the facade.

I concur with a previous poster about the lack of cooking skills. They are just poor imitations of what they think they ate at other restaurants.

Honestly you have to be terrible and out of business if you cant make a decent service or shrimp cocktail. Those two dishes are really no brain's and with any cell of brain matter you can make them.

You have to grade a Mexican seafood restaurant from their hot dishes. Their hot dishes are a joke. A bunch of garbage put in a frying pan or dunked in a deep friar.

Save yourself the haste unless you want to eat ceviche and shrimp cocktail. They taste the same all around the city lol My suggestion is to keep driving to Mariscos Luis. WAY BETTER HOT DISHES I have been to both several times. El Muelle struggles to stay open its just not on par with the rest of the seafood places in the area.

Authentic Mexican Seafood. Only drawback - if you don't speak at least some Spanish, you will have a difficult time here as most waitstaff don't speak English.

That being said, I've never had a bad meal here. Its quieter and less crowded than other mariscos joints in the area (which can be either good or bad, depending on what you want). I have rarely seen live music here (again,  good or bad depending on what you want).

Favorite dish is the drunken shrimp - camarones ala tequila. They also do a nice pulpo al mojo de ajo (for those of you who like octopus). You usually get a lagniappe of something with your meal, but it varies. Sometimes ceviche, sometimes a couple of fish tacos, sometimes a tostada.

I've been to this place a few times and each time I've walked out satisfied. I've had their Shrimp cocktail, it was pretty damn good, could have used more avocado for my taste but still it was good.  I've also had their filete relleno, which is basically seafood wrapped up in a fish fillet, breaded and cooked up.  It came with rice, a type of coleslaw (which was tastee) and some other sides, the plate was HUGE!  

They're langustinos al mojo de ajo are deeelish and the Micheladas are aaaawesooome!

The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the last time I ordered a filete relleno, the fish was a little raw.   They were quick to replace the dish and very apologetic and polite about it.  The next time I go I will definitely get it again.
