The Blue Marlin: Reviews & Ratings
A wonderful hidden gem. The food was amazing. The ambience was superb. The wait staff was wonderful. The owner was present to inspect an offer suggestions. Highly recommend the drinks were amazing especially the Cadillac margaritas. We spend the month of April here each year and we will be returning before we leave this year.
Absolutely wonderful dining experience! The host Homero was welcoming and accommodating and prepared our fresh caught grouper in five different ways. They all were excellent. The intimate atmosphere added to our enjoyment. The drinks were outstanding too. This is probably the best meal in Puerto Penasco! Highly recommended
The presentation of food, food itself, and service, was impeccable at The Blue Marlin! I never leave reviews and I am from out of town but the food in the photos looked amazing, and let me tell you the photos did it justice! Also the owner was very friendly. I’ve never had an owner of a restaurant come up and introduce themselves but it was lovely. You could also catch a glimpse of the ocean view with outdoor seating! 10/10 experience.
The Blue Marlin is mainly a shrimp joint. The venue, small, quaint, cozy. I had the Coconut shrimp. It tasted a bit sweet for my palette. My sweet angel daughter thought the same. The shrimp huge! The texture cooked to perfection! The shrimp quesadilla received two really goods. One from the italiana in Mexico and one from my other sweet angel daughter. The chipotle shrimp received a confident tastes good from my State 48 Tortoise loving son in law. The flounder eater in the group, my evil cowboy son in law said it was an eight. The ceviche loved by all at the table. Big hit. They gave us sourdough bread with garlic butter. A solid yum from all the family. We also had fried calamari. This, served with the ceviche and was a very distant second. The said, “it could be better”. Not a group hit. Still, check it out. It’s worth it if you want shrimp. The servers were super professional and took care of all we needed. I would return based on these solid men alone. The owner checked up on us. That was appreciated mucho! The cowboy asked the question that begs being asked: “how can a restaurant called the Blue Marlin not serve marlin? I just wanted marlin tacos.”
Such a nice dining experience. The service was impeccable - friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious - super fresh and well prepared. And the prices were very reasonable. Loved it! Especially fond of their cats!
My dining experience at Blue Marlin in Puerto Penasco was absolutely outstanding! We indulged in the Carlos V shrimp, wrapped in bacon, and they were divine! Perfectly sized and bursting with delightful flavors, especially when paired with the pineapple glaze. The coconut shrimp was equally impressive, with a creamy sauce that complemented the dish beautifully. And let's not forget about the chipotle shrimp, boasting a sensational BBQ chipotle sauce that struck the perfect balance of smoky and spicy flavors. Every bite was a culinary delight, and I can't wait to return for my more exquisite seafood creations at Blue Marlin! But what truly sets Blue Marlin apart is the exceptional service. From the owner's heartfelt greeting of "welcome home" to the attentive waiter who ensured our comfort throughout the meal, every moment was infused with care and attention. When we realized tips were cash-only, the owner's understanding and graciousness shone through. Despite our insistence on going to the ATM, they insisted on our comfort and even offered to let us tip next time. Blue Marlin isn't just a restaurant—it's a place where you're embraced with love and where exceptional service is the norm. Do yourself a favor and show this place some love; you'll undoubtedly receive it back tenfold. Can't wait to come home to Blue Marlin again soon!
Flounder au Gratin was wonderful. Shrimp salad, garlic butter and calamari. Order a margarita. Will eat again on our next visit owner was very nice and checked on us several times
This place had some of the best food I've had in a while. The chips and salsa were great but the magical garlic green sauce was dangerously addicting. I poured it on everything I ate. The staff was professional and the outdoor seating is nice. The food came out pretty quickly and everything had a nice artistic touch to it. I highly recommend The Blue Marlin for anyone in the area.
