    Watermelon agua fresca
    Samantha N.

    Absolutely love the agua frescas here! My favorite is always the watermelon agua fresca, so fresh with amazing flavor. They're also known for their ceviche; I didn't get it this time, but it's always delicious and high quality. The service is super friendly, greeting us right when we walk in and quick too. From the outside, it looks like a little hole in the wall, but they serve very authentic ceviche. Overall, a great spot with excellent prices! The small agua fresca I got is actually a huge portion for only around six dollars!

    Michealada
    Brady M.

    Oh my goodness, this place is SO GOOD!! I had the shrimp ceviche, fish tacos and a michealada with dos XX. Everything was served fresh and fast. The staff is responsive and friendly. Great location close to the ASU campus and the freeway. But let me get back to this food! The ceviche was so fresh and the shrimp tender. You can tell right away when the ceviche is premade in the morning and sat there until lunch rush. This stuff tasted like they just made it like right now for me! The fish tacos were so hot and tasty. I even got a bite of shrimp taco when it came out by accident. I regret sending it back. Maria was my server, she was so sweet and attentive. Everyone in this place is doing a great job and the cooks and the food are operating on another level! Do yourself a favor and try this place. 10/10 would definitely recommend! I will be back again and again!

    The spread. Aguachile rojo in front

    We just landed and were on our way to our hotel but wanted to get a bite to eat first. We decided on mariscos and stopped in here. It's a casual place where you order up front and then sit down while they prepare your order and they bring it by. Honestly? Honestly? We didn't have enough stomach to try what we really wanted to try so we stuck to a shrimp/octopus cocktail, aguachile verde and a fish taco. Hubby had the cocktail and said it was pretty good. I thought the aguachile and the fish taco were also very delicious. The guy who helped us was very helpful and friendly. Nothing to complain about. 10/10 would come here again. Check it out!

    Seafood ceviche tower
    Diem N.

    Very friendly courteous service. Love the seafood ceviche tower! Octopus was soft and tender like Los Cabos makes it. Do have the mango margarita with tamarind chilli brimmed, ask light ice so you'll get more margarita Yes will definitely come back again!!

    Botana Especial

    This place has the best mariscos in Arizona!!! I always get the Botana Especial (red and green aguachiles with shrimp ceviche) and their cheese quesadillas! SO GOOD and always fresh - my go to spot!

    Mariscos el Wicho in Tempe is hands down the BEST mariscos spot in Arizona! Service was a 10/10, food 10/10, atmosphere 10/10, and the value for the quality is unbeatable. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delivered with care. I had the Mango Ceviche--perfectly prepared shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy mango sauce, topped with strawberries and oranges for a refreshing, mouthwatering balance. Absolutely unforgettable! He ordered the Botana Especial, featuring butterfly shrimp marinated in both red and green marisco sauces, separated by their signature ceviche in the middle. The flavors blended together beautifully--savory, tangy, and bold. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and I can confidently say they have the best ceviche in Arizona. If you love authentic mariscos, this is a must-visit!

    Fresh Watermelon chunks
    Jessie P.

    Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth Every Bite! I'm always hesitant to eat seafood in Arizona, but Mariscos El Wicho has completely changed the game for me! This place is everything I look for: super fresh, flavorful, and clean (my #1 priority). I ordered the ceviche de camarón, and it was perfection. One thing I loved is that they didn't mix ketchup into it--instead, they provided packets on the side, letting me enjoy the ceviche just how I like it: savory, tangy, and packed with lime. The vegetables were diced perfectly--no overwhelming chunks--and the balance of shrimp to veggies was spot on. We also tried the aguas frescas, and they were out of this world! I had the watermelon, and my coworker had the pineapple--both were absolutely phenomenal. They were flavor-packed without being overly sweet, hitting all the perfect notes. The portions are generous, the value is great, and the service is excellent. This is hands down some of the best seafood I've had in Arizona. I almost don't want to share how amazing this place is so it doesn't get too busy... just kidding (kind of). Support this spot--they deserve all the love!

    Toastada shells
    Laura P.

    So I came here the other night for the first time. I got the Tuesday taco special ( forgot to take a picture) and it was really good! The guy serving was really nice but could smile vs. just looking so serious. The place looked nice but the music was a little loud for me. I ordered tostadas for my mom. I did like the way that served, kinda make your own. I just wish they would close so early.

    Limoñada Mineral
    Arthur F.

    Hey everyone, back with another feastora for you. Been on the list for a minute, and for great reason and super glad it was. Definitely one of the better Mariscos places I've been to lately. Check it out. Limoñada Mineral - Super refreshing, super smackalicious, this one's perfect for me cause I'm always mixing juices and sparkling water. Amazing! For real. Try it! Guacamole, Salsa & Chips. Love the Chips, homemade, Guacamole was delicious, Salsa was on point, no complaints at all. Yum! Botana Mixta - Shrimp, Pulpo & Callo soaked in lime juice and house cocido, served with fresh Tomatoes and Cucumbers, Tostadas on the side, yooooo. Must order for me. Tosti-Ceviche - First time for me but absolutely loved it. Super good Ceviche de Camarón on too of a bed of Salsa Verde Tostitos and fresh Avocado on top. Yummmmm Check em out for sure, super clean spot, the staff was super attentive, the food was amazing, the music was on point, all of it. Will be back for sure, it made my list for sure.

    Ceviche de Camaron

    I am from LA and every time I travel to PHX for work, I have to stop by El Wicho!! Ceviche de camarón con una agua de sandía hits the spot every time! The service was good because they checked up on me to see if there's anything else I needed!! And they got classic songs playing all day!! I recommend this spot !! 10/10 for me !!

    SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS…read more King's Fish House 35 S McClintock Drive Tempe, 85281 Good places to have a fish dinner are getting hard to find. We decided to give this one a try. Companion and I arrived at 5:45 and were seated promptly. Our server Nikki brought menus and took our drink orders. We started off with Calamari. It was perfectly cooked and came with 2 sauces that I have never had served with it before. One was MaPloi, and the other was an aioli that was nicely spicey. The portion was large and unfortunately, we couldn't finish it. Companion ordered Fish & Chips. A nice sized portion of cod, perfectly fried. Unfortunately, the chips were not fried the way companion asked for them and most of them were left on the plate. For myself, I ordered the Scallop & Shrimp Combo which came with nicely prepared brussel sprouts which were grilled and then had balsamic vinegar over them. I also ordered the char broiled zucchini, which I did not care for and left most of it on my plate. On to desserts! Desserts are prepared in house and not from the outside. Companion ordered Bread Pudding. Sliced from a loaf and served with a Jack Daniels Whiskey sauce and a ball of vanilla ice cream. Companion was so full that it was not finished but not before declaring it to be delicious. I ordered the Butter Cake. A delicious cupcake sized portion tasting deeply of butter, served with whipped cream, berries, and topped with vanilla ice cream. Once again, the portion was so big that I could only eat half of it. As one might expect in a restaurant of this caliber, it was squeaky clean. Service was efficient and almost all of the food was prepared as ordered. 5 stars

I decided to sit at the bar for a quick happy hour and the bartender was very friendly and prompt. I ordered a coffee to go along with my butter cake and it was honestly the perfect pairing.

    Could Pier 88 be my new favorite local spot for seafood boil???…read more Yes... yes it is! We ordered three pounds of head-on shrimp. Spice level was medium and went with the 88 Special seasoning (a combination of cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper) - AMAZING flavor!! Perhaps my favorite aspect was that their seasonings were not overly salty - I feel that most other seafood boil restaurants just include way too much salt in their seasonings... but at Pier 88, you can really indulge without feeling like you're going to end up with high blood pressure! Extras included corn, sausage, and potatoes... and those were all delicious as well! I couldn't have been happier with this meal... so I will definitely return again soon!

This place looked like it did a good seafood boil and was located near where our hotel was. Upon entering we were greeted and sat right away. He ordered a shrimp basket while I ordered my usual snow crab. Heads up, all the supplies will be brought in the bottom of the discard bucket like gloves, lemons, and crab crackers. I wasn't aware of this, and placed all the discarded items on top of it while eating bareheaded as I didn't see supplies, and no one was around to ask. Usually places will bring on the side, and I wish I was told that in advance when it was brought to the table. It made for quite the mess, but if we return I'll know for next time. Once our server returned to check in after 10+ minutes that's when we were advised, and I adjusted though I had put my boil bag in there so most had been soiled. As for the food, he liked his shrimp while I thought the crab was okay in flavor/spice. It didn't really standout out like other places I've been to recently, but overall I would return if I was in the area.

Lots of lump crab although I'd just call it more like a crab dish with bread flaks rather than a crab cake. Still delicious, but my vote is for g and m in Maryland for a traditional cake style with very little breading versus this for if you just want crabs. Service was very slow. It's hard with kids because you'll be there for a couple hours guaranteed. It's also pretty loud so I wouldn't recommend this spot if you have younger kids. I did have some stomach issues later that night but cannot confirm if it was from here or from lunch.
