Got a delivery and it was quick, food was piping hot and very tasty, portions were good just think 90p is a bit much for a fritter but I suppose it is what it is, but nowhere is getting cheaper 👍👍

Marcos Enzos and Mammas all operated by same family who set prices amongst themselves. Chips just went up 50pence to £3.50 without justification. All other prices increased accordingly a pure rip off for local customers. I now drive to Dreghorn chippy where chips are only £2.70 and other prices are all reasonable and food quality is better and servers more pleasant. Thanks to the consortium's greed I now eat better and for less at Dreghorn chippy.

No longer value for money. Go here every week but taking my business elsewhere. 90p for a fritter and just added 50p to a bag of chips so £3.50 now all suppers are now up. Always a hit and miss if food was hot. Seriously having a laugh Marco, price of potatoes have dropped by £8 a sack.

Twice in the last 2 weeks,what a disaster, first time waited for 25 minutes for a single special fish,was told it would be 6 minutes, not to be deterred returned last night same order, happened to look in the box and noticed there was only one fish when for the last five years there has always been two, considering the cost of this order, i returned to ask about this change and was informed the the same as the earlier time , its my fault the fryer said and went to rectify the mistake, what did he do, opened the box and filled it with chips, i ask you is there any basic training given or is it just second class service, will not be back, not even a mail address to contact, this service will continue if customers can't highlight problems, get a grip and you will find you sales will increase, but untill then it will not be from me

Was completely ignored whilst i stood at the counter waiting to place my order. The female shop assistant was right in front of me and walked off. The fryer was busy but between the two of them not one of them had the decency or basic manners to acknowledge me and say "i will be with you shortly". This is not the first time this has happened but will be the last for me as I will never go back. Another customer remarked that they clearly didn't want my business. Having read the reviews perhaps they did me a favour. Steer clear folks!

I used to like this place but just had a fish supper for first time in a while and it was awful. The fish was whiting and not haddock which is horrible, tasted bland and dry like wallpaper paste. £10 for a whiting supper is shocking. I wouldn’t have minded paying £10 for haddock but this fish was rank rotten. I’ve haddock with this place.

It's a pretty standard chippy, with a standard menu and standard prices (the portions are pretty big though, so thats a plus!). You get what you expect and that's just fine! The one thing that I would say is a minus point is that there are no seating options/tables (which is fine in and of itself since its a takeaway) but it would be good if they could provide a couple of chairs for folks with disabilities to sit on while they're waiting for their order.

We travelled through to Irvine as we have a caravan at Sandylands and wanted to try here. This was my first time trying here but my family members had been before and said it was really good. It was very average imo. Not a great menu, could be doing with more choices. Chips could definitely be better too. Quite disappointing as it was definitely better the very first time they tried but last couple of times including this time it really wasn’t great.

We thought we would try the Tuesday night pizza supper offer, 2 for £6 but it was a waste of money, even at the discounted prices! The pizzas had hardly any cheese on them, we asked for crispy chips but they were half cooked, we asked for salt and vinegar and we were given none. We phoned to complain and were offered some replacements but we refused. We were then offered vanilla joes ice cream but only received 2 when we were supposed to get 3 but it was horrible. It was supposed to be kinder bueno but it wasn't the real thing its a homemade recipe and was disgusting! Never again wasting our hard earned money in here again!

Sweet baby Jesus! If your going to give it a go make sure it’s the fryer who wears the black rim glasses, never had a problem with his cooking, but the other two need retraining! Asked for two extra tartare sauces, got Hee Haw! Ordered two COD suppers, two fritter rolls curry sauce. Received two punched into the box haddock suppers NO Tartare Sauce! Batter was soaking in fish juice 🤢 chips were good though but No Tartare Sauce! Fritters were 3/4 inch thick and RAW, thought I was biting into a school rubber coated in wet batter. On the plus side I got free cheese on them that I never asked for, but No Tartare sauce! Counter staff were pleasant as always and never waited long for it (maybe that’s why the fritter was raw) but No Tartare Sauce. Anyway Remember! Only get a chippy from here as long as it’s the fryer with the black framed glasses on. And ask if they’ve got the Tartare Sauce in the COD suppers! This is not the last time I’ll be getting out of Marcos because when it’s good, it’s great 👍

Been a regular customer over the years due to the location - it is very conveniently close to me so easy when you can't be bothered cooking. On a Tuesday they do a deal on pizzas, so I find this attracts alot of people however they can't keep up with the pace. The ordering system seems very different and not efficient compared with other chip shops I go to. For example, if I enter and order a bag of chips, however someone behind me ordered a pizza and chicken supper, even though the chips are ready, I will have to wait until the person before me has their order before I receive mine. I have noticed this on more than one occassion, so it is not a one off. Also, the shop is very small and compact so when you enter if its busy you don't really know where to stand/ how the queue is structured, which can be awkward. I do find the customer service is really not the best, but it appears to stem from the management more than anything as they don't really set a good example. I called in once to make a pre-order, and when the phone was answered I was greeted with "Hi Marcos hold on a minute"... I then waited over 10 minutes !! before I hung up and called back. When I called back I explained that I was just left on hold for over 10 minutes and asked for an explanation, and was just advised "oh sorry I got distracted. Are you wanting an order or not?" I just hung up. Also whenever I am in the shop, the manager (or who appears to be the manager) does seem somewhat stressed and this affects the general atmosphere. Some kids came in when I attended most recently (it was halloween) and they were trying to joke with a server, who was just having none of it. They said happy halloween and were just ignored, it was very rude. They food all seems either very lightly cooked or the batter is very watered down as everything seems very light colored. Value wise its pretty much the same as every other chippy in town. Due to the service and treatment here, I would always choose other local takeaways before this one.

Having been a long term customer of both the owners shops I have to say this is by far the best. The fish is of a quality not seen anywhere else in irvine and certainly far better than an "upmarket" chip shop in troon who charge a fortune. The food is fresh, tastes great and is great value for money. Can't fault it on anything.

staff seemed more interested in socialising among themselves rather than taking my order, not a long wait for the food but I have to say I'd have much rather went else where and waited.

So went to pick up new Glasses today and as I was straight after work early shift was hungry . A Piri Piri place in mall Called Black Rooster ( yea crazy a chicken place ). It had advertised “ Vegetarian “ menu. Corn burger Paneer wrap Halloumi burger All of these. £4.50. With a variety of “ sauce” flavours . I had decided on the “ corn burger 🍔” Oh sorry we’ve “ phased “ those out . Puzzled look on my face … Ok I no would like the Halloumi Burger. Ahhh ok. With what sauce and do you want lettuce and Mayo Yes please Said I. I really want you to enjoy this I will have the Spicey BBQ please and make that a meal thanks that will be £7.50 Now at this point I sat more in Hope than confidence that this wasn’t a hooge mistake . Sadly it turned out my initial feelings were founded. This mess is what turned up . When is a burger not a burger !! I spoke to a staff member explaining my confusion. Oh we’ve “ phased out the Halloumi burgers” and we now only use the halloumi sticks !!! What would you like to do ? The manager should have explained this when she took your order. I’m sorry if she didn’t . Please just refund me. Thank you. So the moral in the Tale . If it’s a Chicken shop . No matter how “ cool and on trend they want to be seen as having vegetarian options. They will most likely still be a piri piri chicken shop that wants to be Nando’s but still fail with even the basics. 🤮

I have always found the service to be fast and staff polite and friendly. I’m always in a hurry so I would be the first to complain if the staff were slow. Now onto the cakes… cakes are amazing.
