Blue Marlin Stand: Reviews & Ratings
Had lunch here again and this time we tried thr shrimp cocktail and the deviled shrimp or diablo camarones. The shrimp cocktail was a little saucy for my liking and gad a strong flavor of cocktail sauce that is usually reserved for dipping fried shrimp. The deviled shrimp was very good, it was covered in chipotle sauce and melted cheese and was full of rich, smoky flavor. It was lightly spicy but not hot or overwhelming. This is the tastiest plate i have eaten here. The fried shimp were delicious however the tartar sauce that comes on your plate is much better than the bland tartar that is in a bottle and placed on the table. The service is friendly and the wait for your food is not long. Noon time is a full house, come early.

Fish lovers will not be disappointed either. The offerings go beyond the ordinary, with options like the Pescado a la Plancha ($18.20), showcasing expertly grilled fish, and the Pescado Veracruzano ($18.20), which combines grilled fish with a robust medley of tomatoes, onions, and olives that sings of freshness.

Another highlight from a recent diner, EA O., noted the experience of savoring the Deviled Shrimp with its creamy chipotle sauce that struck the perfect balance of smoky and spicy. The insight that the homemade tartar sauce eclipses the bottled variety only underscores the restaurant's commitment to enhancing every dish with quality ingredients.
