Silver Mariscos

Silver Mariscos is an informal coastal-style seafood counter in Puebla's Las Palmas neighborhood, run by a family long associated with the city's mariscos (seafood) scene despite Puebla's inland location far from either coast. Ceviche, oysters, and grilled fish make up the core menu, prepared in the style typical of Mexican coastal seafood shacks rather than a fine-dining seafood restaurant. The setting is casual and functional, with plastic or simple wooden furniture, an open view of the seafood prep counter, and a relaxed, no-frills atmosphere aimed at quick, fresh seafood rather than a leisurely dining experience; noise levels are moderate and rise on weekends. The drinks list is limited to Mexican beer, michelada-style preparations, and soft drinks rather than a wine program, in keeping with the casual seafood-shack format. The restaurant operates mainly on a walk-in basis, though calling ahead for groups is advisable, particularly on weekends when the counter draws steady local traffic.
