Mariscos Chihuahua

On my recent trip to Tucson I stopped in on an old favorite. Located on a busy street next to a dirt lot, it doesn't look like much as you drive by, but step inside for a colorful inviting seafood adventure.I used to bring my kids here when we lived in the area and it hasn't changed. I was greeted and told I could sit anywhere, the waiter brought chips & salsa and the menu.The chips and salsa were not great, but I was here for the camarones culichi. I don't see it often on menus so it's definitely a regional dish. The dish comes with rice, fries, salad and tortillas. The green sauce is a roasted chili & cream sauce, so good, it's comfort food. It's pretty heavy the shrimp is often over cooked but the flavors are great. Dump your rice in it, dunk your fries in it.The bacon wrapped shrimp and shrimp cocktails are also great choices. Seafood cocktails are served with saltine like crackers and about 8 different hot sauces to dress up your cocktail to your liking (don't be scared to mix & match to your liking).The food is good, service is lacking/slow and not always friendly, but there's something on the menu for everyone. On weekends you might catch a trio of musicians that stop by on there way to a party. Definitely worth a visit, they can handle groups, plenty of indoor seating, private parking lot.

My family visited this establishment on Saturday. It does look like much from the street but as I approached the front I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful fountain. I should have taken pictures. I was with my family of 6 and they were hangry so unfortunately this review does not contain any photographs.Once inside we were greeted kindly and seated quickly at a table with plenty of room for us all. The restaurant appeared to be tidy. We got chips and salsa quickly and ordered some guacamole which was very tasty. We ordered the Calamar Emapnizado which was nice and crispy.For our entrees we had Coctel de Camaron which were amazing, great flavor, Camarones Empanizados, Camarones Albañil, Camarones Rellenos, and Camarones al Mojo de Ajo.Honestly you should just go and eat the food! It was all great! Our waitress was so sweet. There was a language barrier but we knew it and made it work. She gave us great service anyways and we had everything we needed and didn't want for anything.

I had a craving for a seafood cocktail so I stopped in. I ordered the Campechana cocktail which has Octopus, Oysters, Squid, Shrimp and Sea Snails in Lime juice. It was excellent! It was a meal by itself. That along with the free chips and salsa made me very happy. I will stop by again when I am in the neighborhood. Total after tax was $15. Service was courteous and friendly. Bathroom was clean and odorless.

I went on Sunday to eat I ordered a dozen of oyster and a cocktail pay attention to your receipt they overcharge me by $13 my order was $42 the food is good but I'm being ripped off I tried calling them but they do not answer the phone uncalled for sad part is I love eating there

Today is the first time the food isn't awesome. It's all missing flavor. The camarones are a little over cooked and taste bland the campechana does't taste like mariscos

Only came here once but I ordered the Camaro Culichi and it was amazing! The chips and salsa were authentic and I all and all had a memorable experience. I have never seen another restaurant that has culichi.

This place is a train wreck. We ordered 3 bowls of ceviche but when we got home we discovered they gave us shrimp cocktail instead. We called, no problem mistakes happen. We were told save our receipt for next time we were in. I have now been sitting in their restaurant for 30 minutes, counting flies and code violations, waiting for them to find someone who has the authority to fix the order . For Christ sake, just take care of your customer it was only a $35 order. Sad thing is, if they ever get a manager on the phone, there is no way I'm eating it.

I do enjoy the food at these restaurants though they're a bit pricey. Their staff could also use some training on customer service and professionalism.I had to take a moment to write a review todat after witnessing an incident at the Irvington location that made my stomach turn. A man and a woman sat and waited for a server to take their order. Their server was called to the kitchen and returned to tell the couple that she could not serve them because the man had been to this location five times and had left each time without paying.The couple seemed to be taken aback by the allegations, and the women immediately responded by saying, "That can't be... my husband lives out of state and is here visiting for the holidays." She then proceeded to walk back to the kitchen to confront the manager. Her husband remained calm and quiet only responding by nodding, "No," and saying, "That wasn't me."His wife was upset, and rightfully so. The staff could not produce any evidence of their allegations. They were also unable to provide an answer when the woman asked why they hadn't called the police each of those times they said he had left without paying.The woman proceeded to call the police herself but I didn't stay long enough to see what transpired. I did see that the woman was visibly upset and even brought to tears in the parking lot.I also noticed that the employees were discussing the matter once she left and mentioned that they may have mistaken him for someone else. They appeared to be unbothered by their error and the embarrassment they caused the couple. I was floored by the way they treated their clients especially since they could not be sure whether or not they were addressing the right guy.

So glad we decided to try this place out! The shrimp tacos were delicious! For 11.90 you get 3 huge tacos. So much food I couldn't finish it. The salsa was amazing!!

Staying in Tucson for business, and asked and employee at the hotel for a recommendation, he recommended Mariscos Chihuahua. Small place, with funky decor, but outstandingly fantastic, phenomenal food. They specialize in Mexican food seafood, and it is very authentic compared to the seafood I've had in Mexico.
