Mariscos Playa Azul Café is an absolute hidden gem! The seafood was incredibly fresh and authentic. We had the ceviche and it was a solid 10/10 loaded with lime, fresh pico, and served on a crispy, freshly made tostada. The homemade corn tortillas tasted just like your grandma’s and in this case, they are! It’s a family-owned spot with a young grandma in the kitchen, hand-making every single plate with love and care. The fried shrimp and fried fish were both cooked to perfection.. crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. On top of the amazing food, the staff was super nice and welcoming. You can feel the pride they take in what they do. I highly recommend this place to everyone. We’re definitely coming back to try more dishes. This spot is the real deal!

This establishment is situated inside the Ramada Inn, with a convenient entrance through the side. We came here twice, one month apart. The first time, we really enjoyed our ceviche, chips, fish dishes. The second time, the food lacked flavor. Hence my three star rating. I will say however, that I’d choose their dishes over the typical fried seafood down Padre Blvd. The young server was very accommodating . The lemonade was huge and delicious. They allowed us to get some coffee from their coffee station on our way out.

What an amazing restaurant. Underrated! Must try if you are in the island. Doesn’t have a typical Mexican restaurant ambience. But the food, blew our mind away. Tamales, mmmmmm. Ceviche mmmmmmmmmmm. The only downside they dont serve alcohol. Friendly staff! Awesome food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Maureen Jeanes · Oct 2025

It was SO DELICIOUS last night, we came back tonight. Don't be deceived by the location (breakfast area in the Ramada.) The service is great and the food is impeccably fresh and flavorful. Something for everyone on the menu - burgers, fish, shrimp and Mexican food. Highly recommended!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was a little skeptical of this restaurant as it is located in the breakfast room of a Ramada Hotel but it was worth the stop. I tried the tacos al pastor, six mini soft corn shells with cilantro, onions, pineapple and seasoned pork for $10 + tax, they were delicious!
