Mariscos El Pilar De Nayarit: Reviews & Ratings
The food was great! haven't tried great and tasty food in a while. Customer service was great! The young lady working there kept checking on us and making sure we were okay or if we needed anything else. My toddler spilled a drink and immediately the guy working there was very nice and cleaned it for us and offered us another drink. The ambiance is very calm, a place to enjoy your food peacefully. Definitely recommend!
Really good menudo & chilaquiles were flavorful & spicy! Service was good the lady was super kind & made sure we were doing good!
We were asked to find the best ceviche in Monterey for a friend's party 5 de Mayo, so did several tastings a couple of wks ago, were TOTALLY SMITTEN with both the fish & shrimp ceviche here, by far the best, so i ordered & scheduled a pickup for 9 AM today. INCREDIBLE FLAVOR, so fresh, excellently limed & seasoned, not over-onioned like most that we tried. lovely lovely people. thank you so much! Ceviche heaven!
Wow wow wow , this place was so amazingly delicious. We are from the bay out here visiting Monterey . We were looking to grab some yummy Mexican food and found this little spot. I wasn't to sure about it because it was completely empty. We went for it and everything we got was so freaking delicious. The women that helped us was so kind and sweet. The place was very clean! We got all kinds of plates to try and every single one was so good. The Asada in the burrito was so flavorful. Just Perfect. We will definitely be back!
Towards the end of Seaside just off in Fremont st resides El Pilar de Nayarit. Mainly indoor seating but do have a could have benches outside. Not a fancy place and doesn't need to be. Freshly cut limes, cilantro and onions garnish their dishes. The menudo was plenty, with lots of delicious tripe pieces and great spices. I usually do not ask for pata de puerco, but tried it this time. Not necessary if you ask me, the menudo by itself is more than enough. Overall delicious, won't regret it.
I have to say that this place is small with not too much view to it. Because it's hidden behind a gas station that takes most of there view. But gotta say that their food is so fresh and with full of flavors. Their menudo is delicious perfect for a cold morning or after a night out to get back up. Their seafood is freshly made to order. The service is welcoming, friendly, and family oriented. I loved it and recommend it to everyone! My go to is the shrimp ceviche, shrimp cocktail with everything and their aguachiles. With extra salsa verde. Really good.
Just freaking delicious food. The speakers are pumping out modern mariachi and you can hear the sousaphone over everything else. I am sitting here eating this huge shrimp cocktail (a medium) and feeling my lips burn from the spoon full of sauce I put on the chorizo taco and cursing my luck at living too far away to drop in on a regular basis. It's a very good day.
My new go-to ceviche spot for lunch! My first time here today, I ordered a few different items to see what they had to offer. Both the fish and shrimp tacos I had were great, but the shrimp ceviche tostada was by far my favorite. So much flavor, a big punch of citrus and lots of chunky tomato, cucumber and onion to give it that fresh crunch. There are quite a few items on the menu that I was surprised that I didn't recognize at all which naturally means that I will have to order more of each of them the next time that I'm here :)
