Delicious food! Prices have increased a bit from the menu pics I listed on yelp; however prices are still fair compared to other restaurants in the area. We were craving seafood and had a dozen oysters, which tasted very fresh, and a seafood platter ("mariscada") which was so tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is homey. We definitely will be back again to try other dishes!

This place never misses! I've been coming here for years, but since moving away it's become a lot less frequent. I just dropped by last week and I have to say I'm always blow away by the customer service and food. Food quality has remained the same (if not better) throughout the years and so love the authenticity in the dishes. The servings are also very generous for the price. This is my go-to spot I introduce to any friend from out of town.

Food is outstanding!! So good , we went back a second time the next day to enjoy another plate!! Carne asada was tender juicy not overcooked. You could pull it apart with your tortilla!! Beans and rice very good!! Friend had shrimp fajitas ad they were crazy good and plentiful. Service was excellent. Paid attention to us and were right there to refill our chips and salsa. Soda was refilled. Large plates of food. Ambiance was nice and clean with plenty of room between tables. Parking is a little crowded but it is ok.

Really good breakfast burritos here. I get it Mexicana style which means there isn't a lot of cheese or meat to it. It's healthy, filling, fulfilling, and nutritious. This place is Such. A. Vibe. It's so 831 and I'm loving and living for it. I like the tortas too. Super flavorful and delicious - I inhaled it.

4.5 STARS Sometimes the cheapest meals are the most satisfying meals. Because expensive doesn't guarantee something will be good...or pretty for that matter. I mean look at the Tesla Cybertruck...dropping $100k+ to drive around in a fridge. But, hey...at least it catches everyone's attention. After several days of not so wallet-friendly restos in Carmel, I was dead set on getting a steamy facial over a piping hot bowl of menudo from Seaside. Apparently, it's the place to get legit Mexican food on the coast. My first two choices I called doesn't serve menudo on Sundays (what?!). I called Mariscos Puerto Nuevo (MPN) and they had menudo con pata so we arrived within 10 minutes. We knew we were in the right place when we were the only non-natives. MPN is open for takeout, indoor dining, and dog-friendly outdoor dining. Full-service resto but I didn't know so I ordered and paid before sitting. M E N U Breakfast served all day. Seafood is their specialty: Raw oysters, aguachile, fried or grilled seafood, stewed octopus, and mexican paella. They also have Mexican staples: Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, tostada, flautas, chile relleno, fajitas, etc. Proteins: Pollo, asada, lengua, cabeza, carnitas, chile verde, etc. Beer available. F O O D * Complimentary Chips & Salsa // 3 stars Standard industrial chips with a mild salsa akin to ranchero sauce. Chips were kinda stale but hey, it's free! * Menudo: Beef Tripe Soup w/ corn tortillas, fixings (One size only - $13.95) // 4.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/5xkz2d6d & https://tinyurl.com/yfn64azf - Requested con pata (w/ pig trotters) which they confirmed having when calling and when placing my order. But, while waiting for our order...they said, they *just* ran out. =( - Served Saturday and Sunday only. - Choice of corn or flour tortillas. Living near The Excelsior and The Mission in SF, I have access to great Mexican food and this is some top-tier menudo! The vibrant guajillo based broth was rich, soothing, and mildly spicy (not too salty). It was chockful of meltingly soft honeycomb tripe...enough for the two of us to share for a small meal. Served with a side of diced white onion, cilantro, dried oregano, dried chili, and lemon to doctor up the broth to your liking. The side of corn tortillas were commercial but warmed up and pliable. S E R V I C E Friendly staff but bare minimum service. After dropping off our order, there were no check-ins. A M B I A N C E Casual with about 8-10 tables indoors and a handful of tables in the parklet. P A R K I N G Limited parking in the shared lot. Had to find parking down the block. Overall, I know MPN's specialty is seafood but they serve up a great bowl of menudo. It was the cheapest meal we had on the coast and the most satisfying. Will def return the next time I'm in Carmel again but at opening time for the pata.

Been wanting Tacos/Mexican food and Seafood so I thought I'd kill 2 birds at Mariscos. Puerto Nuevo in seaside on Broadway. It was pretty good. They give u chips n salsa( salsa was kind of spicy which was great) I ordered a Corona and they bring it with a wedge if lime and a cocktail shrimp at the top which was kind of nice. To start I got a half dozen oysters with shrimp and pico, Topped with Mexican style cocktail sauce. These were excellent. You get the freshness of the pico, the nicely cooked shrimp, the sharpness and spice of the cocktail sauce and at the end u get the briney oyster. It all works pretty harmoniously and the oysters were so fresh. Next I got a Mexican. shrimp Cocktail. It came with 3-4 packets of saltine crackers. This was so refreshing and satisfying. It has chunks of avocado, cucumber, tomato, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, a copious amount of shrimp and a cocktail sauce that was a great balance of savory, salty, sweet with a small hint of heat. Perfect combination. Becusee I'm a fatty and need to fill the rest of my stomach we also got 2 Adobada tacos which were surprisingly good. Usually if a place specializes in seafood you would expect the other food to lack but these tacos were great. They were on the full size corn tortillas so they're massive. It has a mountain of well seasoned Adobada. It was so flavorful and not tough at all. Not pictured was a Bistec Ranchero Plate which came with a huge Bistec, Rice and Beans. My nephew really liked it. It filled him up and he's a big eater. The bill came out be about 80 bux and for all that food it's not a bad price. Would love to come back and try more things off the menu. They even have a few out door seats for those who have pets. Absolutely recommend this place.

Very happy we had a chance to try out this little spot in Seaside! Not a lot of tablea and the place was buzzing! Always a great sign whrn tables ate busy and staff is buzzing. Portions ate LARGE. Mole was 2 large thick chicken thighs (yum) less bitter chocolate undertones and lighter in colour then other moles I have had and more kick (chili)than usual. Seafood dish with zucchini and veg was super delicious and large. Children's quesadillas were huge hit with lots of extra cheese and the lengua taco was super tender and delicious with the given salsa.

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. They have the best Mexican breakfast, seafood and traditional dishes. They obviously specialize in seafood so I enjoy the tostada mixta which has octopus, fish, and shrimp ceviche. My partner likes the campechana. I live in PG and the Mexican options in Monterey (except El Charrito!) and PG are slim to none so it's worth the short drive to Seaside for this authentic spot. I love the chorizo con juevo or I have them do a combo for me of chilaquiles with chorizo and egg. It's so filling but they totally hit it out of the park. They bring you chips and salsa while you wait and I could drink that salsa. I've also tried the molcajete which is really good and filling. They give you chicken, asada, nopales, cheese, and vegetables with side of beans, guacamole and tortillas. It's pricy but worth it as you will have leftovers. Some days they also serve champurrado which I love on a cold day. The staff is super nice and service is pretty fast. The parking lot can fill up fast and be a little tight to get out of so you may need to park on the street. This place is sometimes crowded but never empty. Please support this place!

This was a little treasure. It had been a few years since pre-Covid that I've been here. My guests and I both ordered the enchiladas hers with beef mine with cheese. The enchilada was absolutely stuffed with cheese. It was so tasty. Refried beans were extra special. I didn't have the rice because the beans are enough for me. Small side salad accompanied both plates just enough and a terrific dressing. My guest totally enjoy the beef enchiladas and we split a cold Corona! There's lots of seating outside, and a fair amount of seats in the interior. Very friendly staff. There was a party of 12 celebrating a birthday and I was stunned that the service did individual checks. Absolutely unheard of in water great service. We will definitely return .
