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.

Listen closely: Go to the Mariscos Chihuahua on 22nd Street (not the other ones...this one!)! Once you're there and you're settled in with an ice cold Negra Modelo beer (a squeeze of lime doesn't hurt) and chips with homemade salsa and some fresh avocado slices...order the Filete Sarandeado. If Linda is there...back there in the kitchen...well then you're in luck. She's the Maestra de la Cocina...your gastronomical tour guide...the one to trust with your taste buds! She's definitely your ticket to what is easily the best seafood in the Sonoran Desert. When you order the Filete Sarandeado...order thusly: - Extra apio (celery) - Extra cebolla (onion) - French fries on the side (separate plate is preferable) - Corn (not flour) tortillas - don't worry...they'll be piping hot and ready to receive the Filete Sarandeado - IMPORTANT...say these words: "Muy bien cocido...casi quemado...caramelizada" (very well done....almost burnt...caramelized)...and then sit back and wait for the magic to happen What ensues is something to behold - fish (usually something like red snapper) that is smothered in onions, celery and a sauce made of rich butter and smoky chipotle - ready to be heartily consumed. Take some of that goodness....heap it into one of those steaming fresh corn tortillas...insert approximately three (3) french fries on top...and indulge. Uh...yeah...it's really...really...muy good. Don't be shy - dig in. Let the sauce drip down your arm. Feel the slight heat tickle your lips and cool it all down with that crisp beer just a-waiting to be sipped. Odds are...you've never experienced this taste before....but....once you have...you'll be hooked.

Let's start with the positive-we had good service. Walked in, sat ourselves, and our waitress came over right away. Based on yelp reviews of multiple Tucson locations, I was very excited to eat here. I recalled the ceviche being good- so I ordered that. It's was ok, but nothing to write home about. I could taste the lime juice, but no other flavors stood out. It was served with a few hard shell corn tostadas. Also order Camerons el diabla ( spicy shrimp in red sauce). I honestly could not take more than one bite. It had a terrible aftertaste. It was served with iceberg lettuce, tomato and French fries. I had hoped for black beans, but none were to be found on the menu. The French fries were the best part of that dish. Not sure about the other locations, but the decor was drab.

Although the service was good, the filete culichi was awful and overpriced. Sixteen dollars for fatty, rubbery, tasteless fish swimming in a bland, green sauce and the most basic lettuce salad and bland rice. The sauce was ok when I spiked it with green hot sauce and lime but the fish was beyond the ability to repair. I ended up spreading the sauce over the salad and eating it that way.:) The salsa also tasted like a not-so-fresh tomato sauce. Not fresh, not delicious. Among the worst Mexican food I've had and, given the poor quality, the price was just obnoxious.

Delicious!!! I'm ashamed that I have barely tried this local chain and sad I've been missing out on such great seafood for so long. Not wanting to cook on a late Monday afternoon we decided to venture out and try this location. We had the shrimp culichi and stuffed shrimp along with a michelada. Everything was awesome! The shrimp in the culichi were large and succulent and drowned in cheesey saucey goodness. The fries and rice accompaniments were fine but almost unnecessary. I was able to snag one of the stuffed shrimp and those too are awesome. The bacon was perfectly crisp and they had plenty of cheese stuffed inside. Finally the icing on the cake was a great michelada and friendly service. I'm a fan!

Do Not Get This Place Confused with the Maricos Chihuahua on 1009 N Grande Ave street! OMG, not the same place, clearly. We are all coming down with food poisoning. We went to the wrong one! Can't believe there are more with the same name. What a mistake to eat seafood while on a trip! I thought this place looked like a dive, but all the reviews looked good. I got them confused. Trip advisor recommends the one on N. Grande, but I just typed in the name not realizing there were more. We'll be paying for this mistake all night, or more!

Their seafood is the best. We stop at one of their locations every time we are in Tucson. Wish they would accept credit cards.

This was my first visit to this Mariscos location. I ordered the Shrimp Rellenos, and it was pretty good. The shrimp was a little dry and the bacon could have been a little less 'crunchy' - I guess I would conclude that they were just a tiny bit over cooked. The cheese wasn't really gooey, which is what I was hoping for. It came with rice and a salad, both of which were good. The atmosphere was cozy, and I liked how colorful it was on the walls. However, there were a good amount of flies in the restaurant, some which kept flying right around me and others that gravitated around my food. Needless to say, there were enough of them that caused me to lose my appetite. That was unfortunate, since I was absolutely starving. When we got the bill (I went with my fiancé), they had charged us $4.00 for two salads. My meal states on the menu that it comes with a salad, and my fiancé ordered one as a side to his ceviche. A salad is only $2.00. He didn't bother telling our waitress since it was only $2.00 extra dollars we were being charged, but to me it's the principal of the matter. On top of that, we had to ask our server for the second salad - they didn't bring it out at all until we mentioned it. Overall, it was okay. The food was good but not memorable, and the service was below par. I would try Mariscos again, I would. But definitely not that location.

Lent is coming and it's time to plan for no meat Fridays! We ate here a couple days ago and were happy to find that they had the tostadas de jaiba. Absolutely delicioso! Mom added an order of the fish nuggets from the children's menu. Yes, you can do that if you're an adult, they don't mind. And enjoyed her meal to the fullest. So we're prepared for dinners on Friday for Lent. Hope you are too!

We have picked up ceviche to go several times at one of their various stores around town before we went in for a sit down dinner. This visit at the 22nd St. one was not the greatest sit-down experience, but won't hinder us from more visits To begin, their ceviche is incredible and pretty consistent among the stores. The freshness and flavor sets you right on the coast. However, on this particular night, we must have showed up when everyone else did in one big rush for the place and they weren't ready. The service from our very young server was just so-so(not rude or inattentive). We ordered ceviche and a kids meal to start off and wait time was a little long, but not bad. When that came we were ready to order our meals and that wait and the wait for our food were very long. I think we spent two hours there. Despite the service, the food was excellent and my two beers ice cold. We tried the Marlin tacos, fried shrimp, and I had the fish cooked in a spicy chipotle sauce. Everything was very fresh, cooked to perfection, and had a superb flavor and texture. If you're looking for a Mexican fishing village meal, this is the place. Don't forget the ceviche to go for lunch too!

I've been eating at Mariscos Chihuahua at least weekly (if not more often) for about the last year. I'd really want to give this a higher rating than 4 but can't go up to 5. I REALLY REALLY LOVE Mariscos Chihuahua. Note: I believe there are 6 or 7 of these restaurants in Tucson. I've heard they are owned by the same family but owned and run by different family members. While the restaurants and menus look similar there are differences. The one on 22nd doesn't serve mixed drinks. The one on Swan accepts cash only. There are some minor differences with the menus as well which I am less familiar with. I usually eat at the one on 22nd St. It's a small family restaurant. I love their Ceviche. This is what I usually have. It is very popular and delicious. The Caldos 7 Mares (Seafood Soup) is delicious and packed with different seafood (shrimp, squid, octopus, sea snail (really good if you've never tried it) and white fish). The Camarones de Culichi is very tasty. My wife still can't stop talking about this dish! I've always found their Oysters on the half shell to be quite delicious and fresh too. The restaurant on Grant is the largest of the 3 that I have eaten at. They also have these Shrimp Tacos that are insanely good. Get them with the corn tortillas! I just wish my usual haunt on 22nd had these tacos. Also, the Grant location does serve mixed drinks. Not sure about the Swan location. Their Micheladas are great here but they won't all be exactly the same. I mean they'll all have the same ingredients but in different proportions as each waitress makes them differently. Anna makes them the best at the one on 22nd! Be prepared to have extra starch with your entree as the entrees come with a small salad, white rice AND french fries. This is authentic Mariscos (Mexican Seafood). The great majority of customers here are Mexican or Mexican-American. Which tells you that you may have just come to the right place for your Mexican Seafood fix. Enjoy!

This is some of the best seafood in town. Fresh flavorful dishes & the best ceviche in town. Fast service! Last time we went there I ate myself silly Only downside is that they only take cash

My wife and I stumbled across this and it is great. Whole fish fried like they do on the beach in Mexico. Great food, and lots of it, and a friendly staff.

Me and my girl are from California visiting her neice and family. We ate here on a family recommendation and it is food from the gods! Its the magically delicious food that trumps their just OK service and I still award them with a 5 star 'eating' experience. FOOD: We ordered the Micheladas, Ceviche and Camarones Culichi. Micheladas are kind of an acquired flavor, a mixture of beer, clamato, spices, lime juice and salt. If you know you already like them, then you'll like these a lot. If you're not sure, be safe and try someone else's. Ceviche was served in a bowl, something new to me as I'm used to ceviche being served much dryer and on a plate. However, their Ceviche was delicious. A large order was more than enough for 4 adults as an appetizer. Camarones Culichi...I read another yelpers review before coming and it was spot on. It doesn't sound like the most appetizing dish but turns out this dish is a gift from the gods for your mouth! Add in the fresh tortillas, yum. This dish also come with a basic iceberg lettuce and tomato salad...which I took the larger pieces of lettuce and made lettuce wraps with! SERVICE: ...was fast but kinda lacking and unattentive. They didn't ask if we wanted more micheladas until we were ready to go. Had they asked, I probably would have had another or several. AMBIANCE: So every wall in this joint is 3 dimensional ocean themed stuff. Kinda cool especially if you like taking pictures. There tend to be live acoustic Mexican bands playing songs for tables (I say bands because I forget the name but I'm told they're not Mariachi). They charge $20/song!!! What! I'm also told that this is how you display how much of a 'baller' you are in Tucson is by ordering up a few of these while you eat. That's cool, I just came for the family, friends and food!

Hands down best Ceviche I have ever had. Anywhere. Fresh, tangy, colc, crisp veggies, slightly acidic sauce. The Mexican oysters are pretty good too (just served on the half shell with lime and hot sauce) (dont be scared to try them for pollution reasons or so. Our waters are just as bad in a lot of places). Had the camarones once, good but heavy. The service is prompt and courteous but never stellar. Its a very no frills type of place. If you want someone in a tie, looking down their nose at you, but catering to your every need at every second, then go to a nice steakhouse. I would not expect Michelin rated style service at every joint I eat at. Ambiance is causal, not a place for a traditional date but I would take a girl here after the second or third one. As of Feb 2010, they took credit card. Local chain and as with something like Nico's, everybody has their favorite location. 22nd is mine.

Mariscos Chihuahua is another one of those places I seek out when I'm in Tucson. I haven't ever eaten anything but the ceviche and a dish called culichi, which is shrimp in a green sauce. It is worth the trip!! I love micheladas and mine wasn't too spicy. I love the combination of Tecate, Clamato, and the other spices that are similar to a bloody mary. Service was so-so, kind of slow. But overall the experiences have been great and it's worth a try.

As mom pushed the door open to Mariscos Chihuahua, she said something to the extent of, "I hope I'm not talking this place up too much." Umm....yes and no. All looked promising upon entry: cool murals cover the inside and out of the building, menu full of Mexican-style seafood, and we're the only gringos here: awesome. Then, I made some serious ordering errors. Mom convinced me I needed to try a michalada, which...yeah...gross. Beer, ice, tomato juice: what was I thinking? The chips were bland and cold, the small ceviche we ordered with them pretty darn good. I ordered marlin tacos, just expecting your standard fish tacos, right? I opened them up to find something resembling stringy cat food-grade tuna with melted cheese. Is this what marlin tacos usually consist of and I'm just an idiot? (Quite possibly.) The restaurant was nice enough to take them off the bill when they noticed me gagging. Mom ordered something with shrimp and this amazing green pepper sauce. Dammit, why did I order everything wrong?? I pieced myself together some tacos with these super yummy corn tortillas, some shrimp from mom's plate, some deep fried (normal) fish from small child's plate, and a ton of that green pepper sauce, and they were pretty tasty. We then sat around for 20 minutes with an antsy small child waiting to get our bill. Mom finally went up to ask for it. The waitress snapped, "Cash only." Everything turned snarky all of a sudden. Was it because I turned my nose up at the disgusting cat food tacos? Whatever. The food is good if you know what to order, that's all I can say.
