This Mexican drink is made with beer, lime juice, sauces, spices, tomato juice, chili peppers—so many variations—Mariscos has the best

Oyster shooters? Of course. You can find it here— authentic, flavorful Mexican food with a serious emphasis on fresh seafood.

There is a surprising selection of fresh seafood and deliciousness, highlighted by wild prawns, fresh oysters and mussels. A simple kid’s menu includes churros and Mexican Flan.
