Mariscos Las Playitas Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Alex S.

    Mariscos Las Playitas' biggest "problem" (if that's the right word for it) is its location. It definitely isn't in a good part of town, as has been mentioned in other reviews. And while it might sound racist to say so, people were VERY surprised when two white guys walked into the place (or maybe, they looked at how fat I was and were scared there'd be no food left over after I had dinner ... who knows?). And also, as mentioned in other reviews, the music can be very loud and the decor is definitely basic. Now, if you can get beyond the fact that this isn't a place out to impress you or attract middle-class gringos, who aren't happy unless everything is perfect, you'll do perfectly fine here. Yes, the location and decor are nothing to write home to mom about; but the food is quite good and the service very friendly. I had the filet a la diablo and I asked for it to be muy picante. The sauce had the tanginess of a BBQ sauce, but wasn't sweet (and it WAS very spicy). I asked for a larger portion of salad instead of rice and beans and while plain, the lime served with the meal made an acceptable dressing. The fish was quite tasty. My partner had the filet a la Ajo, which is a garlic fish. When it came, I was very concerned, because it looked like it was buried in garlic ... and I'm not exaggerating. And while I could smell the garlic, both of us confirmed upon taste, that it wasn't overly garlic-tasting at all. Also, in contrast to other places, which use a lot of oil, there wasn't much on this fish. The garlic was far from overpowering and the rice and beans, while very basic, tasted good, too (so he told me). The ceviche, by the way, was also good. For the two of us, the bill came to $27 total before tip and included an iced tea on it. Hardly unreasonable and the size of the portions were more than adequate. If you've read my other reviews, you know I'm constantly whining about portions not being big enough; so if I say they're adequate here, you can be sure they are unless you're an impossible glutton. I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel being in this area at night; but aside from that, no one made me feel uncomfortable or unwelcome after the first looks of surprise from the patrons. Perhaps there'd be a lot less surprised looks, if more people turned their mental assumptions off and had an open enough mind to try something different, somewhere different and paid this place a visit. In this case, the effort would be worth it.

    It might not be located in one of the best places in town, but it is worth it. Something that I really struggle with in Arizona is finding a seafood restaurant where the food is as good as the service. I must say that I have found it! Finally!!

    We came for a soccer tournament and after winning both games mariscos sounded perfect. Definitely would stop by again. The tostadas de cevichr are excellent, very tasty fresh. Plus the coctel de camaron con pulpo hit the spot.

    Best shrimp cocktail in the state. Service was excellent. We are excited to go back. Give it a try and cut the location some slack.

    The number 21...the most delicious shredded beef hard shell (hand made) tacos with real mozzarella of my entire life. The rice and beans are perfect. Best hole in the wall choice for authentic Mexican food.

    Food was pretty good and affordable. The area looks stretchy like if people are drug dealing around lol that's just my perception don't let that discourage you. I'm not from AZ but it was a good place to stop and eat on the way.

    Great shrimp and octopus cocktail, probably one of the best I've ever had. It's a little pricier than most other places for the location, but the food, or at least the cocktails, is worth it. Can't wait to try other dishes on their menu.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
