Reviews for Mariscos El Buchón in Carlsbad, NM
Muy autentico. The service was professional despite the language barrier. Maybe the best guacamole and salsa i ever had? I drank... a jarritos but i wish i tried their mojito, it looked good. I always wanted to try grilled octopus, so that's what I ordered. Itwas one of the best things I've ever eaten. They baste it and serve it with a tangy smoky sauce, similar to A1. It was likeeating a steak but better. I wish i lived anywhere near because this is a seafood lover's gem. Read more

The best ever! This was perfect for sharing as the servings are huge. We got the pulpo which was cooked perfectly, but was... spicy. It was gone within minutes haha. We also got the molcajete and omg everything in it was delicious! If we ever happen tocome through carlsbad again we will definitely eat here again. Read more
Great vibe, cooks could be heard singing to the radio in the kitchen. Great decor. Food was excellent. Mojito was massive. One... point of improvement: drove past, could use a sign along the highway Read more
The food was finger licking good. My husband got the grilled octopus and it was one of the best he's eaten. Kinda cold so bring... a jacket but the complementary chips/salsa and fish soup warmed me right up! Definitely recommend if you're looking fordelicious seafood! Read more
1st time here. It was packed. On 08/20/21 We were seated in a timely manner. We looked over the menu, ordered our food. My... fiance had the Clamato El Jefe, Medium shrimp cocktail. The clamato el jefe was HUGE the shrimp are very big in both the clamatoel jefe & the shrimp cocktail (well worth the price.) I had the Fish tacos they were okay, the fish was fried and shredded, Ialso ordered the Camarónes A La Diabla ???? I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this dish if you like pretty spicy food. The sauce wasREAL spicy & flavorful. 2 thumbs way up for this specific dish???????????????????? this will be my staple next time I go. Fordessert we had the sopapillas & fried ice cream. Sadly the sopapillas were hard, covered with a lot of caramel sauce. The bestwas the fried ice cream. I highly recommend that as well. Expect to spend around $50-$70 for 2 people.???????????????????? Update: went back again in Sept 30, 2021 around 7pm my hubby & I had ordered the Molcajete. The shrimp washuge! It was delicious ???? ???????????????? Read more
As Texans we knew this wasn't our usual Texmex. I must say that the food was exceptional, carne asada tower was very tasty.... Chicken tacos were great too. It was freezing out and they served us this complimentary warm fish broth drink. I have no ideawhat it was, but it was good and warmed us right up. Highly recommend! Read more
