Mariscos Alegria has been in business for a very long time - at least fifteen years to our direct knowledge and probably a lot longer than that.
Discretely, almost invisibly located on the ground floor of an old, two-story building they serves up maybe the best fish and shrimp tacos, seafood
c-cktails and soups anywhere. There are a few tables located outside and you have an ocean view. The inside has more tables. Sodas and beer are
serve yourself from the refrigerator with a bottle opener hanging on a string near the door handle.
The hours of operation are strictly daytime. Nineish to promptly closed at 4:00 pm.
Today, I went in to Primo Tapia to pick up some medicine and got a fish taco and medium seafood c-cktail to go.
Freshly battered and fried-to-order fish laid on a handmade flour tortilla that was about 12" in diameter. (On a side note, the battered fish stays
crunchy and retains the good flavor when reheated the next day.)
The medium seafood c-cktail with fresh oysters and shrimp (I watched as they cracked the oysters open) was delicious - a perfect balance of flavors
between the briny taste of the seafood and the tangy acid of the tomato broth.
One taco and one medium-sized seafood c-cktail cost $120 pesos, around $11 U.S.

Jan, Thanks for posting this review. This place is in my area and I would have had no idea without your observation. This review has already been
picked up on chowhound.
