We love this place! Such fresh wonderful food! And great service! We had tuna tostada, which is sort of like poke on a tortilla. Then shrimp and octopus ceviche-such tender octopus! I saw empanadas coming out of the kitchen so we ordered those. Good, but way too much food for 2! We will be back to order less! It is cash only

If you love tostadas then this spot in Puerto Vallarta might be for you. It offers a variety of tostadas from shrimp, fish, clams, scallops, and octopus or you can have the combination tostada, which has them all. I ordered two combination tostadas. They were good but fell a bit short of my expectations. They lacked both flavor and seasoning, however, the portions were generous and they were reasonably priced. I also ordered a dish called, Filete Zarandeado, (fish), which, had some flavor but I did find it overly salted. Unfortunately, the food here was just ok and not great. In fairness, since this was my first time here coupled with the several prior positive reviews from my fellow yelpers, I plan on giving it another try on my next visit to Puerto Vallarta.

With several locations in Puerto Vallarta Mariscos 8 Tostadas is considered by many to be a "must visit," the space in La Marina proving especially popular thanks to a large seating area plus friendly service and fair prices. In direct view of the Ocean, a full bar pouring Micheladas and Palomas for guests en route to their boats, nearly every choice can be counted on for freshness whether Aguachile bright with Citrus, chopped Fish Tostadas or Tacos piled high in smoked Marlin Meat.

My favorite place to visit in Puerto Vallarta! It was so nice to come back and eat at Ocho Tostadas. The basil pineapple drink is my favorite drink. It was a super hot day and this drink is so refreshing. For the meal, I ordered an ahi tuna tostada, marlin pate tostada, and a gobernador taco. Everything was beyond delicious! The service is always great and never any wait since the restaurant has tons of seating. I love how decorative it is with paintings on the walls and the old school license plates. Can't wait for another trip to come back and eat here!

Found this on our last day. This place is hopping and filled with locals, luckily sat by one who was very helpful in helping us order. Great ceviche, fun people watching, sat at a bar watching them prep and serve. They work hard and put out a lot of great looking food. Worth the wait in line!

A great local seafood restaurant! Food: Had the grilled mahi-mahi with rice and a salad. The mahi-mahi was perfect and served hot. Rice and salad were good. Tried the crab enchiladas, and they were a bit dry and just ok. Drinks: all sorts of drinks and beer available Service: Good service Value: overall good value for PV Misc: (1) cash only, (2) Closes at 6:00 p.m. (3) From the Westin to Mariscos Ochao Tostadas is 1.15 miles. It's a bit of a walk but worth it.

This is at the end of the Marina and I promise is worth the walk. It is cash only place. Food: complimentary toast Al and some sauces were provided. The onions marinaded in some black sauce was very crunchy and delicious on the tostado while we waiting on our main dishes. My husband order grilled fish plate of mahi mahi. my husband food arrived early and I was happy that food is served when prepared so his food was temperature hot and my food was temperature hot even though I had to wait a bit longer, 10 minutes, no biggie. I ordered the crab enchiladas. The crab was very fresh and hand picked, I had a few thin shell pieces from the leg of crab that I picked out not a big deal. The enchiladas were packed full of crab and the sauce oh my delicious! It had a slight kick and by the end I was a bit sweaty by the spice. The only issue I had was the crab was dry and flavorless and really needed something other than sauce on top. If they would have mixed some sauce with the crab it would have been better and moisten the crab and enhance the crab flavor. Service: decent service. We have limited Spanish and our first waiter gave up on us and he found an English speaker. This place gets packed. They are so busy, it took us awhile to get our bill. Washing station: using the washing station to clean my hands to have complimentary tostado and sauces. The menus were filthy and I did not want to eat anything without washing my hands.
