This place is extremely loud.. we had to yell at each other just to have a conversation. We even had to yell at the waitress to take our order. Maybe it’s only like this on a Sunday night? Who knows. It’s also football season, so I can’t be too much of dweeb on that note. The salsa was basically colored flavored water but tasty. Our food presentation was a little easy on the eyes. It’s not a dud of a restaurant and I’m willing to give it another shot. Just not a date night spot but more of a social football Sunday hangout spot..

Terrible food, and staff was unprofessional. If there was a zero star review, this would be it.
The shrimp on the ceviche tasted days old – it melted in my mouth and there was an aftertaste. It needed a lot of seasoning/lime, but we didn’t care to fix it – it was gross. The rice looked like a microwaveable Ben’s Ready Rice, it was hard and didn’t taste like Mexican rice at all. The blackened fish was watery and oily at the same time, you could tell it was cooked frozen – the taste didn’t make up for it either.
The server did her best to be nice but there was a gentleman on the phone cursing and using the N word while toting a container of dishes (we knew he worked there). The cook looked distraught, didn’t acknowledge the food that we sent back, and he was sweating all over the place. Just not a great look to be walking around the dining area.
I was so excited to check this place out, being a new Mariscos spot in Bishop Arts, but this was easily my worst meal experience of the year by far.

Once you walk in it gives you that bay atmosphere
The store was clean & EVEN the restrooms for being busy!!!!
Customer service on point! The waitress was attentive & the Mgr even came out to greet customers here & there just to know if we were ok with the service or needed anything else
I really like that because it just shows that they care about you & their business
Now let’s talk deliciousness
Pictures never make any justice but believe me when I say the food was fresh & had huge great flavor!!
Seriously coming back again!!!

So I looked this place up and saw they had a good looking El Mar cocktail. So first off this place is medium size seating inside and outside. Pretty family friendly in my opinion. Okay so I ordered two drinks the hurrican and la Paloma. The hurricane I DO NOT recommend, just a bad blend period. La Paloma wasn’t to bad, but I’ve had better. Oh yes then the price 12 bucks for the hurricane and 14 bucks for the Paloma. So we ordered a chicken salad and the El Mar cocktail. Surprisingly the chicken salad tasted and looked fresh and was juicy. The cocktail man it was delicious, exactly what I had been craving didn’t disappoint. As far as the service, not well. First after the salad comes to the table she ask if I had ordered something, which I had, so I ordered again. Then after talking while the salad was being eaten and finished, I FINALLY got my meal. I’m just glad everything except the drinks was good.

Our waiter was amazing! Food was delicious and drinks were nice as well. I had the crab and shrimp boil and my partner had the molcajete shrimp, beef, and chicken which were both delicious. Definitely recommend coming here. I will be returning for another seafood boil soon.

The staff is warm and welcoming! Ask for Pedro, the bartender he’s outstanding. The fajita tacos and beans are some of the best I’ve ever had. So I ordered a second plate of tacos and beans.

El Gordo Seafood offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes, but it unfortunately falls short in several areas. While the seafood is generally fresh, some dishes lack the seasoning and flavor needed to truly stand out. The preparation of certain items can be inconsistent, with some meals being overcooked or too bland, which is disappointing for a seafood-focused restaurant.

I had the ceviche, some bottled beers, and a shot. They have a nice patio, but it rained the day i went. Overall, I enjoyed this place. You will need to download an app to view the menu. They include a service charge on the ticket.

I was really disappointed with my visit to Gordo Seafood. The food was not tasty at all, and the cocktail drinks were so strong they were basically undrinkable. To make matters worse, the kitchen didn’t even have the ingredients for a seafood boil—at a seafood place! The shrimp cocktail came with tiny shrimp that felt cheap and unappealing. Luckily, I only stopped by for a quick bite, but if I had brought a group to celebrate an event, this would have been a total letdown.

First time trying it. Some servers definitely need more training. A seat yourself sign should be posted. After sitting down the only waitress there (06/02) came over she said she would come back and bring a drink menu. We waited 30 minutes and she never came back, we went ahead and placed our order online. She came back after about another 10-15 min after we placed the order (with no drink menu) and asking if we wanted to place an order. Told her no thank you, since we had placed the order on the app. When the food and drinks were ready another server brought it out, he continued to check in on us and made our experience a little better.
We tried the aguachiles & ceviche both tasted really good. I do hope to come back and bring friends but will have to make sure to have a better server.
