We come here from time to time We come here from time to time, and honestly, it keeps us coming back! I know we are out in the middle of the desert ordering seafood, so I expect it to be a bit expensive for what it is, but the flavors are good enough to justify the trip. My absolute go-to is the shrimp with bacon paired with a side of their green sauce--that is a pretty darn good combo and highly recommended. Also, if you are visiting Tucson and find this place, don't be scared--it's pretty good! Trust me, you can't go wrong with the cheese and bacon-wrapped shrimp. You will love them. Don't be boring and just go to a McDonald's; stop by here and enjoy! Since we love this place and want to see it thrive, I do have a few pieces of constructive advice for the team: Allow Seafood Add-Ons: I've asked multiple times to just add a side of fish to my shrimp order, and I'm always told no and that I have to buy an entire second plate. I totally understand the policy if you're trying to prevent people from taking advantage (like ordering a cheap side of fish for a kid instead of a real meal). But if everyone at the table has already ordered a full plate, you should absolutely allow us to pay for a seafood add-on. I love the shrimp and I love the fish, but I don't want to pay $22.00 just to get a second plate of rice, a meh salad, and fries I don't want. Step Up the French Fries: Please do something about the fries. There is zero effort put into them. Have the kitchen staff actually tried them lately? It honestly feels like they are just ordered and dropped in the oil without anyone tasting them to see if they're actually good. Attentive Service: The waiters need to be a bit more attentive. For as quiet as the Ina location usually is when we drop in, the service shouldn't feel like Popeyes on a good day. You guys have been a staple here for a long time, and because we love you, we are still going to keep coming back! But putting just a little more effort into the service and the side dishes would go a very long way. I believe in you guys. ¡Sí se puede! read more

The whole fried fish was amazing and very filling! I definitely recommend! The environment is really cool with their mural and music. Staff is very attentive and give great service! Nice cold draft beer was great too! Perfect combination after being out in the Tucson heat, I will definitely be back! read more

Mariscos Chihuahua - Whole fried fish - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I visited this establishment more than enough times to give this review. With the expectation to eat authentic seafood from the great state of chihuahua, Mexico it delivers on all notes no question about the taste & authenticity. But the servers customer service is very targeted & won't help you unless they really want too. It hasn't happened once but many times already that I felt compelled to write this. They allow large groups of customers to berate friends & families that come here just because they are regulars who tip. My last time here I didn't even leave a tip that how horrible it was. I would avoid family gathering here it's just for food & maybe a date that's about all. read more

For me, the only reason I will give this place any stars is for the waiter, Omar. Very sweet guy, attentive, and friendly. My husband may give it another star on top of mine as he said his battered fish and french fries were good. The margaritas didn't have a kick to them and priced at $9....it should've had something. I'm a vegetarian and besides side dishes of white rice and beans, there is absolutely nothing else to choose from on the menu. At least have a salad section! If I were asked, "What do you recommend for a vegetarian?" My answer would be....another restaurant. read more

Mariscos Chihuahua - a plate of fried chicken, rice, and salad - Seafood Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

After years of driving by this place, multiple times per day, I finally decided to stop in and have lunch last week. The decor here is super fun and the vibe is really like being at a Mexican beach shack for lunch, with the bar at the heart of the restaurant. The service was great and our waiter was really attentive. That being said, the food was pretty "meh" and run-of-the-mill. I wouldn't say there was anything that really stood out in terms of flavor and everything was prepared appropriately, so it really was just kind of boring food. If you aren't into a lot of spice and want more mild flavors, especially with your seafood, this is a great spot. Additionally, there's almost nothing on this menu that isn't at least $20 per plate. So, for higher prices, I'd sure be expecting better food. I probably won't be back here, but you might have a great experience, so if the mood strikes, check it out. read more

The food was good and it didn't take too long to get or order. The servers were not very attentive they weren't happy my 9month old was dropping food as she ate which I cleaned before we left. They didn't really check in us which I guess is sometimes good if you have a big party and are trying to talk. id order from here again but to take home and eat. read more

the food was sooooo good my boi I literally got seconds. the service was phenomenal and the workers were lowkey cute. Very cutely decorated and the cutest fish shaped plates ahh just go. read more

My wife and I dined her several weeks ago and we both got food poisoning. We ordered the Vera Cruz fish and ceviche. Both had an unusual aroma as first smell. When we got home 30 minutes later, we both started vomiting followed by diarrhea. We both had to go to urgent care and it took us about 4 days to fully recover. I asked the server about the aroma and she said that the owner told management that they wanted them to use the fish even if it was a day or two old to save money. We have since filed a formal complaint with the City and state health department. I WOUKD ADVISE TO NEVER GO HERE. TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT AND OWNER. I WOUKD GIVE THEM A NEGATIVE 10 read more

No Coke products, only Dr, Pepper and it was flat. Ordered the Albañil Shrimp plate, and shrimp was swimming in an Alfredo type sauce. Had no flavor and rice was bland, cold and tasteless. My husband had the siete mares soup and the soup looked like dirty water and had no flavor. For $20 a plate, the food was not worth it. read more

Really small portions, each plate came with only 2 tortillas. and my shrimp plate only had like 6 shrimps. for 23 dlls.

Stopped by tonight for a medium Pulpo Cocktail ($14) and 2 Fish Tacos ($4 each). The slices of Octopus tentacles were plentiful and tender in a rich marinade of tomato, onions, cilantro and lime juice. I added a little bit of hot sauce and more lime juice. The freshness and flavor really popped! Then my 2 fish Tacos arrived. Lightly beer battered fish filets on corn tortillas. Mexican relish and cole slaw were added to the Tacos with lime juice and hot sauce. Delicious! Hot and crisp fish surrounded by fresh veggies and held together by a tortilla. I enjoyed my meal tremendously. It was a light meal yet very satisfying. Total after tax was $23.35. I shall return! The ambiance of the restaurant is very pleasant as well. Service was courteous and efficient. read more

We had an amazing dinner at this place . Our waiter Cesar was spot on. He recommended Cameron Culichi and the Caldo 7 Mares Large - they were amazing . We will definitely be coming back . A must try . The location on Ina is awesome . read more

Just like their motto-"Best seafood in the desert!"... So far this place does not disappoint! I've been here several times before, and everything that I've had here is AMAZING! I've tried the fish tacos, fried fish, cerviche, shrimp relleno & shrimp culichi. My favorites would have to be the Shrimp Culichi and the Shrimp Relleno. The green sauce in the shrimp culichi is so creamy and flavorful. I usually put my rice in it too because I want that flavor in every bite! Super yummy and fulfillingly deliciious! Oh, and as for the Shrimp Relleno....Giant sized Shrimp wrapped in bacon, what more could you ask for? =) Both are served with fries and a salad too! Mmmm, I think I'm getting hungry again! Lol. My only caveat is the service. I'd actually have to take a half star off, making it a 4.5 star rating, because of it. Our waitress was a bit slow and inattentive. We had to either try to make eye contact with her or flag her down to get refills on our drinks, and later when we wanted our check. The bus boy actually was more helpful and friendly. Anyways, other than that, the food outweighed the service in my book. (Probably cause this is one of the only seafood places in town that is worth going to, I'd overlook it!) So, If you are looking for seafood in the Old Pueblo, this is may be the place to be! read more

I do not recommend this place. lastime i was there at this location i got food poisoning i will never eat at a mariscos chihuahua again!

LOVR LOVE LOVE WE have been coming here for years!! We always get the XL ceviche and the Camaron "Shrimp" Culichi. The ceviche comes with chips, mayo, limes and hot sauce. Mayo? Yes Mayo!! You put it in the tostada, then the ceviche and a squirt of lime and hot sauce and you're taste buds will sing like Mariachis!! The Culichi comes with fries, rice and a salad. We always get extra rice and no fries. Also mui importante ~ Make sure you order extra Culichi sauce because YES it's that good!! read more

I only get the sea snail or the mixed seafood cocktails. A bit pricey. But I keep going it's very good

Turned away at 7:30pm on a Tuesday because they were closing. Ok, guess I'll spend my money elsewhere.

I've never written a review but couldn't wait to get home to write one. I asked the waitress if she suggested the breaded shrimp/camarones empanizados or garlic shrimp plate. She said she preferred the breaded shrimp so I decided to try that plate. It was like eating a cardboard box. That crap had no flavor and was stale. I even requested ketchup and tried to drench it in salsa but to no avail. I suggested to the waitress don't ever recommend this plate it taste horrible but she replied I like it, I was hoping she would try the several pieces I left behind or have the cook taste his/her cooking. Just horrible food, I felt like I threw $25 up in the air, I would have agreed to pay half but she ignored my complaint. I'm never returning to this restaurant. read more

Decided to try their shrimp tacos. The menu listed 2 versions: fish tacos and fish tacos with shrimp. Ordered fish tacos with shrimp. Received fish tacos with fish instead. The waitress was extremely rude, did not take it back so I had to re-order fish tacos with shrimp. Needless to say, I was charged for 2 dishes and the waitress was standing behind my shoulder as I was pulling my credit card out of the wallet. Really? And the tacos are so-so. read more

The prices are great for the food that you get. The waitress was very attentive food was brought to my table quickly I ordered the shrimp in garlic sauce they were absolutely amazing. Two beers chips and salsa and my lunch was just $20. I am from California and a place like this I would definitely be spending double the price. I would definitely come back here again if I'm ever in the area read more

I have no idea why anyone feels this is great Mexican seafood. This was bland, shrimp so small I had to chase them around the dish. My wife had the, what I felt were shrimp poppers (shrimp w/cheese wrapped in bacon). Do yourself a favor, skip this dish. Dry, not cheesy in the least, dry....did I say that?!... All dishes ordered in a group of 6 came with French fries and a basic salad.....no matter what the main course was. Good Luck. read more

Really good menu options, the food was excellent, the service was friendly and the decor was colorful and had a fun vibe.

Absolutely best fish tacos in az.ultra clean and consistent. Wonderful roasted serrano chilis go so well with the fish tacos. Place is clean as a whistle . Aaas++++ read more

Food is always amazing, service is usually really good except for Monday, Ale was our server, she looked like she was in a horrible mood and almost looked bother we asked for anything, I felt uncomfortable asking, so we quickly finished and asked a nice gentleman serving other tables for our check, his name is Cesar, he has helped us before, from now on he's our server. Another table of 3 declined her service while we were there, this establishment needs happy faces, Ale was not one happy. read more

Great staff and wonderful food. Great prices. Large food portions. Fresh seafood. The ceviche, ostiones and shrimp culiche are just some of my favorites. read more

FYI pretty much only seafood on the menu.. I will have to say I don't really eat much seafood in Arizona as I am from the Pacific Northwest I am accustomed to very fresh seafood.. this was one of the best fish tacos I have had. Salsa on the other hand could use some help read more

Service sucks !never answers for takeout, never willing to stay open to serve the community. Workers are rude and don't know how to help serve their customers with professional manner. read more

We were in close to closing time on a weekday. I try not to do that, because then you're the reason the staff can't go home earlier, but we were hungry, and my boyfriend loves the shrimp culiche. We sat at the bar, and our server was super nice and attentive, offering us extra condiments and asking if there was anything we wanted to watch on the bar TVs. I usually get ceviche here, and it's great. But I wanted something hot so we both got shrimp culiche. It's decent but heavy, and you get salad (pretty much out of a bag), fries, and rice with your dish. All the sides are pretty bland, but our food was very hot and fresh. The shrimp were good size and tasted fresh, which is not always the case when you don't live near the ocean! The place was clean and the atmosphere is very reminiscent of Rocky Point. I'd return, but it's probably not my first choice. read more

This is my first time trying this restaurant and I have to say I am utterly impressed with the variety of food options and the taste of the food. I ordered the shrimp with red sauce and it came with rice, salad, fries and yummy ness. Not sure if you met us as a word that's the best way I can describe the flavor and the taste of this restaurant you definitely have to try this instead of your typical red lobster. The dishes are so creative and you get a lot for your money. My plate of food for dinner was only $15 and I have enough leftovers to last me a couple of days. It sounds silly but I like how patient the restaurant is as I was practicing my Spanish as well. Great flavor hidden gem. read more

This is my second visit. Was mostly happy with my first visit in March. Had just had surgery so not up to par. (Me) Today, being takeout only due to Covid-19, I was so pleasantly surprised to find wonderful service and great food when I got home! I ordered Pescadaro Frita, A whole fish deep fried with seasoned salt. It came with salad, fries, rice, halved limes, and tortillas. Everything was wrapped up right and with thought and detail. Very much appreciated. An incredible deal at under $20 and very delicious! read more

Oh man, there's not a lot of nice things I can say about this place. The chips had to be at least a day old and over cooked. The salsa was not flavorful nor appetizing to look at. I ordered the chicken quesadillas and it took forever to get the food. But I did like the quesadillas. The chicken tasted fresh and the cheese was good. And they cooked the tortillas just right. The rice on the side was not Mexican rice-it was plain rice and it was no Bueno. The last thing to review was the service and I have to say that I was very unimpressed. The server seemed like he did not want to be there and I never got a drink refill. I'm sorry Mariscos you are not for me. read more

The restaurant was not crowded and our service was not good. Food was just okay... chips and salsa were not great.

This place has some of the best tasting meals in Tucson. The seven seas soup is to die for. Their prices aren't that great and well the service pretty much sucks. They give you like 3 tortilla chips and a shot glass of salsa as an appetizer. I think the restaraunt is run very poorly but the kitchen is priceless. read more

Completely underwhelmed. NOT reasonably priced, the prices must have been increased. Ordered Camerones rellenos which was mainly tasty but dominated by bacon. Was supposedly stuffed w goat cheese-no it was mozzarella. The side salad it came with had no dressing whatsoever. Some sort of dipping sauce would have been a nice addition to any part of this plate. Fish tacos were ok. Thought tacos came with lettuce and tomato. The best you can hope for here is salsa on the side. Corn tortillas were straight outta the bag. The fish was tender and flakey but not much flavor there. The pico de gallo served with it was pretty bland. Not sure how but it was. Also ordered a campechana, it was like eating the dirty ocean. Some of the meat was hard and chewy ( sea snail I think), and way over priced at 18.95. Once we were served our food, the waitress never came back. She was running around like crazy but never to check up on us. Still sitting here waiting for the check, needing a take out box, but thinking it's not worth it cuz how much longer will that take... Also had a house margarita which was pretty tame on flavor and alcohol. The salsa and chips served at the beginning of the meal pretty much set the tone for the meal- bland, not worth the $ at all. Would not recommend to anyone other than to steer away from this place. read more

Always great seafood and the fish tacos are to die for! Micheladas arent bad either.

The menus was overwhelming but after sorting it out we had a nice early lunch that was pretty good. This place needs work as far as communication and wait service. The price for the quality of food is a tad bit high but not by much Over all I give this place a high 4. read more
