Mariscos Altamar

I will probably return. I think the food would have been good but everything, including the rice, was too salty. I then drank so much water I was very uncomfortable for quite some time. The margarita was ok. I like the location, the service was great and I am hoping the food improves because I really like the variety on the menu. I’ll try it again.

Sorry to report it was just so-​so. Between three orders at our table, combination plate, chimichangas and taquito plate, not one of us really had much good to say. Wish I could have said it was better, because we need every restaurant we have in Los Lunas and Belen to draw in diners.

We went to Mariscos and showed our hotel key to get a free margarita. The food was authentic Mexican, and the margaritas were great. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful.

This was a good place to eat. Great variety of food, all delicious and well prepared. Had the tacos, great choice, full and meat was tender. The server was a doll. Speedy and attentive.

Worst bartender I have ever experienced with I asked for a Michelada it came with ice and it was watered down so I asked her to remake it and she just poured the watered down beer in another cup so I told my server and the manager had her remake it. Last time I’ll order a drink here or even cone back to bartender was a total B**** I’ll just go across the street to chillies. The bartenders name was bowie. But the server was nice.

Ok. So finally was able to make it on a Monday for their $ 3.00 margaritas.
I was surprised they had free chips and salsa.
And even more when that Margarita arrived at my table, as usual the sweet and sour house Margarita you can get just about anywhere, but here is the best part. $ 3.00 and not $ 10.00, now this is money in my pocket and feeling good both ways if you know what I mean.
Ok I had 2 and already feeling the effects of it.

This has to be the most disappointed I had ever been with a restaurant. I’m giving it two stars because my first experience there was amazing. My wife and I came here just before it’s official grand opening. It has a nice upscale ambiance and the service at the time was good if a bit slow. I ordered the crab tacos and they were amazing! Big thick pieces of fresh crab with all the ingredients perfectly proportioned. The corn tortillas were perfect. We were so pleased we ventured to order raw oysters and they were fresh and healthy! A rarity in New Mexico. My mom came to visit and I bragged on this place and took her to it a few months later with my kids. It was the complete opposite experience. Staff was slow and a bit short with customers. I excitingly ordered the crab tacos and was crushed to get soggy corn tortillas wrapping a bland mixture of beans rice an a minuscule amount of crab (I had to dig through it to verify there was actually crab in it) The food was like what you would get from a chain Mexican food restaurant in Vermont, bland, and generic. What happened?

Margaritas were to sweet, waitress never checked once on us, manager seemed nice but we were over charged on our bill. next time I’ll just do chili’s. Bummed out was hoping this would of been better.

Welł, my wife and I worked up the courage to try it for ourselves. We have heard numerous good and bad word of mouth reviews, so tonight was the night. I was craving, and ordered carne asada tacos, my wife, the fish tacos. Without giving this place a horrible review, let’s simply say, that even with a bowl of fresh jalapeños on the side, I still couldn’t taste much. The food, including the jalapeños, were without flavor.
As with previous reviews, the service was excellent. Live musicians roaming the floor, playing good music, but the food… at best, without flavor.
Not returning in this lifetime

The staff is very friendly. We came in for lunch and ordered the carnitas and carne asada tacos, cirviche, and the fijitas. The portions were huge and very filling. I also had the house margarita and for $ 6 it was well worth it! This place is not stingy on their guac, which is always a plus. Would go here again. Not traditional New Mexican food. Just regular Mexican food. I didn’t give a five star because this place seems like more of a chain restaurant and I prefer the ma’ and pa’ places.

The food and service were great and we will go back! The steaks and Mexican food were equally yummy.

The worst sea bass I have ever tasted and it was obviously frozen minutes before it was served, its questionable how long it had been frozen. The tbone steak you couldn’t cut through with the sharpest knife on the block, it was just a tough chewy, flavor of cardboard and it was supposably beef! the nacho supreme had meet that tasted like elk or orox I’m still not certain. to top it off my the oysters were served with water and ice on top of the oysters. to make a long story short nobody in our four person party enjoyed any bit of their meal. I paid a large amountof money for food that nobody ate.

This is my second visit. The first time I didn’t really like the food but thought I would give it one more try. I won’t be coming back. I ordered the nachos with chorizo the first time. It sounded good but the cheese wasn’t melted and it had a horrible flavor. Months later decided to give it one more try and ordered the nachos with Asada. The plate came out, looked good, cheese nice and melted but still horrible taste! I think it was the cheese. I don’t know if it was old or just the kind of cheese they used but yuck! Staff is friendly and nice atmosphere.

Great place to eat at. Friendly service, great food and happy hour what more can you ask for!

I tried this place a few Friday nights ago. My husband decided to take me and the kids here to try it out and it was pretty good. Not great. The oysters in my campechana were disgusting and tasted like they crawled from the nearest ocean from New Mexico. And the queso fundido was made with cheddar cheese? I’m not sure what that was about, maybe it’s a New Mexican thing. But the drinks and everything else was delightful! The music, the service and the prices were all great.

My family and I have come here many times and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. I usually get the house specialty soup and even the small size is pretty big. Good quick treat if you’re in town!

I am so happy they opened down here. The food is amazing. The staff is very friendly. I have been three times and has been awesome every time.

This place is a fantastic find right off I-​25! This is the restaurant’s second location and the consistency is as if they were under the same roof; great service, food and atmosphere! The grand opening had mariachis and I think it’s a regular thing on weekends but not sure. The ceviche is hard to beat and I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. The drink specials are also great. Happy this place popped up!

Flavorful, spicy & delicious! No other Mexican food restaurant was open on Sunday night so we decided to try the new place in town. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the chicken fajitas were. Sizzling hot & alive with flavor! I’m visiting from California so can’t be a regular patron but I’ll go back if I visit here again. My only criticism or suggestion: get a new photographer & take new photos for the menu. The ones they have don’t do the food justice. They are washed out & make the food look unappetizing, especially the seafood photos.

This place is finally open in Los Lunas! I had the pleasure of visiting opening weekend and it is beautiful. The décor is modern and the food is just as great as their first location. Definitely a place to go for lunch, date night or if you have a large party.
