Best Seafood in Monterrey – Vol. II
Between grilled meats, tacos, and seafood, Monterrey also knows how to pamper seafood lovers.
Monterrey's cuisine always finds ways to incorporate flavors from other regions. That's why, when seafood arrives in Monterrey, it does so with plenty of character, fresh ingredients, and that northern flair for grilling, good food, and generous portions. These two places are proof of that.
Mahahuitas Corner: Vallarta-style seafood with a regal soul
Located at Montes Rocallosos 603, in the San Agustín area of San Pedro Garza García, El Rincón de Mahahuitas offers an experience that combines the best of the Pacific coast with the northern love for wood and barbecue.
Here, fire is an essential part of the cuisine. Many of their dishes are cooked over embers, imparting intense flavors and aromas that whet the appetite from the moment they arrive at the table. The World Cup recommendation sums it up perfectly: lots of grilling, lots of wood, and seafood prepared Puerto Vallarta-style. It's an excellent option for those looking for something different from the traditional seafood typically found in the city.
El Jurelito: paradise for seafood taco lovers
El Jurelito has earned a solid reputation among seafood lovers: come hungry! Their menu revolves around a wide variety of tacos prepared with fresh ingredients, creative combinations, and flavors that will leave you wanting more.
The hard part isn't choosing what to order, but deciding when to stop. With so many different preparations of fish, shrimp, and other seafood, each visit becomes an opportunity to discover a new favorite. It's the kind of place best enjoyed in a group, when everyone orders something different and the table ends up laden with dishes to share.
Two very different ways to enjoy the flavors of the sea
While Mahahuitas focuses on the smoky flavor of charcoal grilling and an experience closer to Pacific coastal cuisine, El Jurelito wins over diners with a relaxed approach, perfect for those who enjoy trying many things in a single visit. Two distinct styles that enrich the culinary scene of the Monterrey metropolitan area.
Because in Monterrey, seafood also has its own unique identity. And yes, after the first dish, you're usually already thinking about what the next one will be.
