Mariscos El Ancla is a Nayarit Mexican Style Seafood Restaurant in North Las Vegas Nevada. They offer a variety of shellfish, ceviches, tostadas, fried fish chips, soups, fajitas, and many different seafood platters.

It’s not a fancy place but it seems clean.

Whatever you order they start you off with complimentary chips and extra hot but very good salsa.

They have a few bottles of hot sauces on the table for embellishing the food. I never saw this interesting and different Mexican Hot Sauce for Seafood.

It has radish, sardines, and chiltepin chili in it.

We start out by sharing a marlin taco.

Oh wow it’s really great! It does actually taste just like marlin tacos that I tried in Jalisco Mexico. I tasted bunches of marlin tacos at various Mexican restaurants in Phoenix and none of them compare to this one. The fish is smoked just right. It looks just like what I had in Mexico. The chipotle sauce is just right too.

For my main I tried the salmon a la plancha.

It’s a large filet of salmon that has been prepared reasonably well. The plate also includes unseasoned steamed vegetables, corn and pea studded white rice, and also is garnished with lettuce and cucumber slices. It’s kind-a very plain for Mexican Food. It’s more like a double sized weight watchers meal.

Moving on

My husband tried the shrimp in medium/hot red sauce (camarones rojo). (this plate also comes with rice and beans that were forgotten but brought out quickly once we mentioned it to our server)

This plate is good but difficult to enjoy for some people.

The sauce is good and the shrimp are cooked nicely…but…….

The whole shrimp contain digestive tracks and shells……..that are hard to clean in the sauce.

I think some people just eat the digestive tracks and shells?

The shrimp dishes aren’t for everyone.

Great Marlin Tacos!
