Ostioneria Michoacan Seafood & Oyster Bar

We stopped in while traveling to this area for the night. GREAT gem. Being from southern Maryland, we know seafood. The oysters were awesome. The shrimp quesadillas were very tasty as was the fried stuffed shrimp. The restaurant was clean and so were the restrooms. The staff very friendly. I recommend this if you've never been, try it.

I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The ceviche is my favorite appetizer to order. They have variety of dishes for the whole family. And the prices are reasonable. Plate I always love to get is the surf and turf, has steak, chicken, shrimp and fish. The shrimp is so juicy, steak is tender, chicken is not dry and fish is so tasty. The waiters are friendly. Also they have great drinks.

Nothing like finding one of the biggest Mexican seafood restaurant names from Houston so far north. For those that know how a Saturday morning feels after a late Friday night...this place made it all better. I was skeptical at first. The ones in Houston are mainly off main thoroughfares, i.e. I-45, and you CANNOT miss them with those gi-normous signs. This one is nowhere near the grandeur of the other 11-or-so locations and quite quaint actually. Very small footprint with a more modest venue. It wasn't bustling during lunch hour when we walked in so the skepticism grew twice-fold. It was wife/kid in tow and the bar was full! No one sitting at the tables. One thing that verified within 10 seconds of walking was that something was good at this joint. We have been seeking our go-to Mexican, not Mexi-dorean as is commonplace here, for over a year now. El Paso is ok but just melting cheese on my burrito doesn't make it "authentic". We have tried Tacos Moya and were treated so horrible that by principle can't go back. Back to this joint...the hostess essentially let us sit wherever we wanted being that nobody cared for a non-bar seat. We were cool with that and bee-lined to a booth just past a small Banda platform. Must have a karaoke or actual live music on occasion. THE Selena looked down at me as I sat down. Drinks? Micheladas, please! My friends, if you're still with me, this was the first time I poured my own beer into the Michelada mix at a restaurant. Is it a big deal? Of course it is. Could have used a few ice cubes but the heat, lime, saltiness and powdered rim was there on a chilled mug that my thirst desired. Salsa was good also. Not just blended tomato with no salt. Food? Coktel "Vuelve a la Vida" please! I could taste the freshness as I inhaled it. The hint of ketchup mixed with Valentina and each chilled bite of shrimp, squid, oyster and pico made me reminisce of the times I would frequent my go-to restaurants. Oh, and the kid approves also. She had a quesadilla with fajita. She doesn't like anything interrupting her "tortilla and cheese" but she...ate...the...whole...thing. As well as most of her rice and beans. She always eats the chips but she ate most of those, too. As we waited two other families came in with infants. One was a white couple. Let's not complicate an observation as I simply state it because I feel it should be mentioned in today's frame of strife with the Hispanic population. To add to this, he ordered a fajita entree and it came out with the signature sizzling and aroma of grilled veggies that makes it even more appetizing. He was not phased even with him handling the baby inches from it. Mexican-restaurant veterans they were! Some shortcomings that were minor we overlooked with quality of our food. Cokteles normally come with saltines and lime. Maybe she was new? We didn't bother her because again it was a full bar and only two servers. Will visit again. Maybe even tomorrow to try those fajitas.

The food was delicious, the prices were very moderate, and the portions were awesome. It's in a strip mall, the atmosphere is not great, the walls lack decoration, but if you want some delicious authentic Mexican seafood do not pass up this place. The Seviche Tostada was a meal in itself, and the Whole Fried Red Snapper with Octopus, Mussels, Shrimp and Squid with Onions and Peppers Fried Rice and French Fries was a steal....Best meal I've had in years , This is hidden gem in the Manassas/Centerville area...

What a deal! Everything was delicious! We did have to wait a bit for our food, and the music was a little loud, but I'd go back in a heartbeat.

OMG!! This place is amazing! I was looking for a place to get a good margarita and via another review I decided to give this place a try. Boy oh boy was I blown away! The margaritas were beyond amazing, the food was good, and the service was excellent!!

Love the food. One of the best oyster bars in the area!

I have been here a couple of times and I love their food everything taste good . I yave try different dishes and they all are delicious.
