We discovered this place online while searching for shrimp tacos since Lent had just started and we were avoiding meat today. Overall, our experience landed somewhere in the middle, there were definite highlights along with a few areas that could use some improvement. We started with the calamari, which unfortunately seemed a bit overcooked and had a slightly rubbery texture. The chips and salsa, however, were a strong start, the salsa tasted fresh and flavorful. The shrimp tacos were well prepared, juicy, and nicely seasoned. The rice also stood out with really good flavor. On the other hand, the crab in the siete mares soup didn't taste as fresh as expected and had a slightly off note to it. The aguas frescas were refreshing and enjoyable. One small surprise was that refills are not offered (unlike many similar spots), which we only realized when the bill arrived. Service was a highlight of the visit. Our waitress was warm, attentive, and consistently checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. She offered helpful suggestions and created a welcoming experience from the moment we walked in. The classic cultural décor and overall ambiance gave the space a pleasant, comfortable vibe. While the food experience was mixed for us this visit, the excellent service and inviting atmosphere made the experience enjoyable overall, and we hope to see some refinements in the future. read more

The seafood is so fresh here! Usually, I go somewhere and get a cocktail de camaron and I have to add everything to it, but not here. It was absolutely perfect.! The host is so friendly and welcoming as a woman coming here by myself I feel very comfortable. I will definitely be back again! read more

It was incredibly hot inside like the ac was turned off... we ordered a molcajete and felt like we got robbed... it was mostly chicken and they threw in a huge WHOLE unripe tomato at the bottom to make it LOOK full. Very disappointed considering how expensive it was. read more

The agua chile was nothing but lime NO chile at all. I got four bites in and my teeth started hurting from the acidity. My husband and I only order 2 agua chiles, 4 tacos, 1 beer $91 The tacos were skimpy with the meat and a big tortilla. The place looks sad The chips weren't burnt but the oil definitely was because they were dark and tasted burnt. The only good thing was the 1 tiny salsa cup they gave us it was all $91 Don't waste your money here read more

Yummy delicious food except portion of beans and rice were disappointing otherwise a great place to go for dinner lunch happy hour

Food is awesome. The drinks are good. I personally love the shrimp with bacon around it.

Marisa's CONSISTENTLY has great food and service! Highly recommend. Authentic, friendly and efficient.

Food was amazing the view of Cottonwood was beautiful the stuff was very friendly it's a great place to go

Great food, good portions, excellent service! The ambiance is good. We come here often to enjoy their Marisa's ceviche tostada which became our favorite shrimp ceviche tostada since we tried it. read more

What a great find! We had a different favorite Mexican seafood restaurant when we worked in Phoenix. Since we no longer work downtown we found this great spot near us. The ceviche was absolutely incredible and the service was great. We've found our new favorite Mexican seafood restaurant and we'll be back often. read more

Location; Bethany Home and 43rd Ave, just a bit east of 43rd Ave. Big spacious restaurant. Food; I was craving Shrimp Cocktail and they did not disappoint. Fresh and crisp, and came with all the fixings. Also, tried a Michelada that was ever so tasty, perfect amount of everything. The best part of that saladito on the bottom to finish off my beverage. Service; I sat myself and the Server was super friendly, and made sure I was ok entire time. read more

Nothing special about this restaurant. I've been to this place about 3 times, each time the food was very salty. But I gave it one last chance thinking that it was just me tasting the food too salty. There was a few other people with me this time, and out of the 8 people that ordered food, 4 of them got their food to be very salty to the point where they couldn't eat it. I don't mind paying the price for good food but when the food is not that great it's unfortunate. The server was ok, there was an issue with some cash left on the table that the server said was missing so had to give her more money once we had already walked out. I'm confident we will not be going back to this restaurant again. read more

Seriously devastated after going here.... High hopes crushed by salty food yet weak flavor food. Seafood soup was so salty it was inedible, literally only ate the octopus and shrimp. Steak fajitas had this odd almost artificial flavor, salty again and just not good. Highlight of the meal was tamarind margaritas and chips/salsa. Sorry Marisa we won't be back. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch. We were seated right away and the service was pretty decent. I'm not an expert on seafood by any means, but I did grow up in Cali and we crossed the boarder quit a bit for mariscos. The food was just okay. Nothing we ordered really stood out as fantastic. Although a friend of mine ordered the Molcajete, now that was tasty. Also, we did have a couple of banda trios stop by our table to convince us to have them play a song, but that was a big fat negative. In fact no one in the restaurant bought a song. Not sure I'd come here again. I'd rather check out the neighboring restaurants to see how they fare before I return. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! They steal your money... we were a party of six and mind you we were given our menus and knew what we were going to pay and when our bill was given to us it was over $200 and they added there $36 on top of that. We order 4 ceviche tostadas 1 agua chile that had the price of $19.99 and on the ticket was $30, 2 michelada 4 rice waters and 3 shrimp tacos that were burned and came out to the total of $236. The server brought 2 of the drinks late and extra avocado once we were almost done. We asked to speak to the manager and did not come up to us to review our ticket. The waitress said that the prices were changed and that they had given us the old menu. Food is definitely not worth it. The juice in the cocktail tasted and smelled like sewer water. read more

HoooOOoOoOoooOLy Mariscos!! I can honestly say I am so comfortably full and it was probs the best seafood I've had in a long time. Our girlfriend Genesis is allergic to shellfish so we asked if they could make a separate ceviche de pescado for her and they did!! The waitress we had made sure to tell them to not let shellfish touch ANYTHING on that ceviche and it was sooooo fresh!!! I ordered the cóctel de ceviche de camarón and it was so well seasoned and flavored. Tiffany got La Torre China and said the octopus was so fresh. It's a little far than our usual areas of hangs but it was SO worth it. I had to write a review. We will be back!! Thanks for the yummy dinner!! read more

This is one of my favorite places i always recommend them when people are looking for mariscos and micheladas. I ordered a chicken taco and this is what they gave me. My order took over 40 mins for 4 tacos and one quesadilla. All she said was "sorry for the wait maybe next time call it in." When i walked in everyone in the restaurant was eating already. No reason why it should have taken that long. I am very disappointed. Ive been going there for years. read more

My brother and I stopped by on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy and we were impressed by the cleanliness and tostado portions. Our server was sooooo friendly and attentive. The fish ceviche was very good. I would recommend that over the shrimp ceviche. We each had a tostada ($6-7each plus $1 for avo) and a Michelada w beer ($12 each). read more

Jessica was our waitress. She was great! I ordered Marisa's ceviche which was different from others I've had and I loved it! My husband ordered the flag ceviche and he loved it too, his dish was enough for 2 people to share honestly. Our friend ordered the marisas shrimp and let me tell you. It was to die for! I'm glad he shared with us. read more

Food was too expensive for what we had. They don't even give you a receipt telling you exactly what you paid for only the amount due.

We wanted to go somewhere that had authentic Mexican seafood. This place is the spot!!. Not only was the atmosphere absolutely wonderful. The staff was extremely polite and patient (especially for those that don't speak Spanish). The food was absolutely amazing everything we had was so fresh and delightful. We will for sure be returning very shortly to try new food items. read more

A classy gem! My boyfriend and I went a couple days ago for his 24th bday and I felt compelled to let others know how much we love this place. The Campechana oysters are top notch. :) read more

Rally good Mexican food!! They bring you complementary chips and salsa to start. We started with an appetizer which was the queso fundido with mushrooms. It was good but a little too runny for me. We ordered flour tortillas as it didn't come with any and the chips just didn't do it lol. We had the caldo de siete mares which is a seafood stew. So appropriate for lunch in a cold afternoon. The plate/portion was nice. The price was good too. The waitress was really nice and the restaurant overall was nice and clean with a big parking lot :) read more

Had fried snapper paid $33.00 we felt it was over priced. We had snapper prepared the same way at other locations and it was prepared much better. Service was good. We would not recommend the snapper. read more

Wow! Is all I have to say! The service, drinks, and food were outstanding. My mouth is watering as I write this... I had the Marisa tostada and the flavor was beyond amazing in any tostada I've ever had. My Michelada was on point and so were the chips and salsa. I will definitely be coming back here more often. It's worth the drive for me and I'm glad I stumbled across this spot. read more

Came in for date night and we wanted to try something new and this place is right around the corner from us. We got in and we're seated right away. Drinks ordered right away. The water they serve is so fresh and crisp definitely filtered water and not tap water so I appreciate that. I opted for something with shrimp, but the waitress told me what I wanted was spicy so I went with her recommendation of a molcajete plate with cheese and a yummy white sauce mixed with carne asada, chicken, and shrimp with some onions and bell peppers. It was AMAZING! The sauce was so good and the different meats were just what I wanted. My man got the "la torre China" I believe which was a small tower of seafood. It had fish on top, onions, ocotopus, shellfish, and 2 types of shrimp with avocado. It was so good we switched dishes midway through. Lol. I also ordered a Clamato preparado which was so refreshing and yummy! This place was just a nice touch to something new. It was kinda pricey, but seafood is always pricey. Will definitely come back to try other menu options. This place is a must try if you like seafood. read more

Salsa and chips, awesome. Ordered the grilled red snapper in tinfoil, not the deep fried. So this take about 25-30 minutes to cook. Awesome. Really, really good. About 5-10% of it wasn't fully cooked so those parts, not so good but such a small thing compared to the huge dish you get. Just take a look at my pic. read more

I'm not a seafood lover. But Marisa's has changed that! I love love love there fish tacos, ceviche, and I even tried the oyster shooters. That was the best but that's just me. My kids have had the quesadilla and love it! I've never been disappointed read more

Order the lunch special of the spicy shrimp tacos. Delish. Man, never had this combination and flavor of tacos and it was so good!!! I would stay away from the tostada de Cameron. A bit overdone. I know! read more

It's a nice restaurant but not in the best area. For the area that it's in and the amount of food they give the prices are outrageous honestly. You can go to a much nicer Mexican restaurant or even steakhouse in Westgate. They apparently just went up on prices which is ridiculous. They don't have daily deals or happy hours that I know of and that can definitely hurt a small business. The food is good but it also depends on who cooks it. My girlfriend and I used to go here a lot but we stopped because it was always such a hit or miss and due to price it just was not worth it when spending $75 for two people on a meal. I would recommend rethinking the up charges for sure. read more
