Food and drinks are good. Service is pretty slow. Pescado frito is one of their best things on menu. Botana de mariscos was pretty fresh read more

Great service, cute place,good food had shrimp taco, went for lunch great salsa and chips and cold beers

Absolutely yes. Chips and salsa were homemade to start things off. Guac was average, avocados might have been a bit underripe. Service was a little slow but the food was clearly made from scratch so no complaints! The Camaron was unbelievable, never had it before but it was a curry like shrimp dish with so many flavors in a rush sauce that was more interesting the more I ate of it. Simply delicious. Everyone in my food group loved their food and was talking about it afterwards. One of the few restaurants I will eat at twice before I leave Nogales! read more

GLASS in my sushi ! On my way to the ER I called them to let them know and they completely disregarded the situation. I have not heard from them or anything. I took a bite of my sushi and felt something hard and as I was chewing I thought maybe it's hard rice as that happens with sushi sometimes and I reached in my mouth and this was longed in between my teeth. read more

I've never commented on the table salsa... at least I can't remember ever commenting on the table salsa, but this salsa is delicious! Ordered the pulpo y ayo which itself was delicious and worth 5 stars. Sliced pulpo but very garlicky! I wasn't too impressive with the sides. About 1/4C cilantro rice, French fries, and a very simple (very American) salad. So I squeezed lime on the salad and dipped the fries in the salsa. It helped but I'd just as well skip the plate next time and just get the main dish and a few tortillas. read more

Decent seafood restaurant in Nogales, AZ. Got the octopus with garlic sauce, which was pretty tasty but on the salty side. The sides that it came with were a bit small (very small scoop of rice) & fries (which made the dish more americanized than I expected). read more

The service and fast and very friendly. The oyster were fresh. Loved the free chips and salsa although it was too spicy for me. read more

Very good restaurant in the Nogales area. This area doesn't have many options but this place, I would highly recommend. I had the fish filet with the Chipotle sauce/seasoning. I will come back to this place if I am around to try other items on the menu. read more

This is a quaint little restaurant, inside it's roomy and airy and clean.The hostess/waitress was right there taking your order.The margaritas were really good and the food was pretty good. A nice little restaurant to stop by if you walk to nogales mexico read more

Shrimp cocktail was delicious. Fish in tacos was perfectly cooked. Would have been even better if it had come with a sauce.

I came around 4 PM on a Friday and there was only one occupied table. Service is quick, I was seated immediately. They give you free chips and salsa and they are surprisingly great. Vegetarian options are rather sparse.... I got a cheese quesadilla and ordered a side of the green sauce. The green sauce is to dye for. I wish I could take home a gallon of the green sauce and smother everything I eat in it. read more

Delicious! A trip to Patagonia and an interest in having our girls see the border wall took us to Nogales. We picked this restaurant based on the reviews and could not have done better!!! Upon walking in, it was not crowded, but it quickly became busier. The restaurant was very clean and cute. The bathrooms were tidy and clean as well. All of the people working were helpful and friendly. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu - we had ceviche, horchatas, guacamole and shrimp tacos. All were so fresh and tasty! As someone from the Pacific Northwest, I am so picky about seafood and this was awesome! Highly recommended! read more

Ended up coming here because the reviews looked nice and was disappointed. The customer service was trash, it seemed like our waitress did not want to be there. She was very dry and had an overall bad attitude. The food was average, not the best but not terrible. Shrimp al mojo de ajo was the best plate I ordered. read more

This food was AWESOME!!! We started with the Toritos-yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon. I also had the ceviche tostada and shrimp cocktail. read more

The food has been consistently amazing for the last 3 years I've come here !! I'm sorry it's taken this long just to leave an amazing review

Wonderful good and friendly service! The shrimp dishes were scrumptious. Bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp was to die for.

My friends and I were going to cross the border for some Mexican food, but one of us forgot to bring their passports. We ended up at Mariscos Chihuahua and ordered all the tacos here, their guac, a shrimp dish cooked in green chile and butter sauce which came with fries and salad, and flan. La Gobernadora was the best taco; the other tacos would've also been pretty good if they hadn't been so crazy salty. We also enjoyed the shrimp dish and their tortillas. The flan was packaged, from a specific Mexican brand which I cannot recall, but still one of my favorites - highly recommend. Unfortunately we found a piece of hair in the second guacamole that we ordered, but they did switch it out for us. read more

OMG!!!! One of the best Mexican seafood restaurants!!!! I wish I would find similar in my hometown... I actually loved salsa- they added can an meat in it woooo delish!!!! read more

I live in Tucson and so I'm familiar with the Mariscos Chihuahua chain of Mariscos restaurants. I recently brought a friend, who is a native of Mexico, to this restaurant and she was blown away by the Quality and size of the seafood. I'm presuming that they get it out of the Sea of Cortez. The coctel de camarones was amazing! The shrimp were unparalleled. I've also had the camarones al mojo de Ajo, superb! And they make the best lime micheladas! This is definitely my favorite place in Nogales to eat! Totally worth the taxi ride if you have walked across the border. read more

Was traveling in Nogales and found this place on Yelp. Had some pretty good reviews so we tried it. I had the Filet Saradeando and split the Ensalada con Camarones. Everything was excellent. Great chips and salsa. The lime agua fresca was excellent as well. High recommendations for a great restaurant. read more

Delicious fish in various sauces and forms, chunky guacamole, homemade chips and tortillas...you can't go wrong. Highly recommend filets culichi, filete al mojo de ajo, and filete sarandeado. They could skip the fries - no need. read more

My husband and I just got back from a 12 day road trip, and were exhanging memories of the trip. Of all the food we ate on the trip, my favorite dish was the marlin tacos at this place! They had a meaty and complicated flavor, with the fish being mixed with a special soup/sauce (we know because the cook came out and chatted with us to make sure everything was good). My husband had the fish a la placha, which was perfectly cooked and pleased even my picky man. We also enjoyed the shrimp ceveche as an appetizer, and my husband has now eaten his hat, as he previously refused to eat shrimp ceveche because he "didn't like it." I am a pescetarian, so i eat no meat other than fish. In the desert, finding a mexican restaurant that had pescado or mariscos was literally impossible! We drove around for 30 minutes, stopping at 3 other places before stumbling onto this unassuming spot. It's set back off the road in a strip-plaza looking area, but looks can be deceiving. The staff was very friendly and helpful - would definitely recommend! read more

My better half decided this was the spot to stop and eat. Walked into a clean and orderly resturant. Waitress was right there to let us know we could seat ourselves anywhere. We scoped out the menu and Cory Ann always worries about getting something blazing. We decided on the marlin tacos. The rice that comes with it is a kind of sticky rice. EXCELLENT would describe it. A small side salad was fresh and great toppings. The tacos were very good. All in all.....a great experience. ....with excellent service. Look forward to our next trip to check out more of their menu!! Also they have a small bar for those craving a drink. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. read more

Don't go to this place if you like seafood. They use raw shrimp in their cocktails which are gross. And the cocktail juice itself is brown and gross tasting and just all around disappointing. There's also a loud ass train that passes right in front of the restaurant. I hate this place. Edit: I tried my sisters fish and it was really gross. Idk what it is but this place sucks at sea food. Maybe I just got unlucky this time but I wouldn't risk eating here again read more

I was a little worried when I walked in and discovered I was the only one there, but I'm glad I stayed. I asked the waitress for some suggestions and she recommended the camarones culichi, shrimp in a green sauce served with salad, fries, rice, and flour tortillas. Since I had just flown in and had no time to grab lunch, I also ordered a tostada de ceviche and a single Marlin taco. The tostada came out first. Wow, I could have made a meal out of a few of these. The tostada was overflowing with shrimp. So fresh and delicious. The Marlin came next. This was unlike Marlin tacos I've had in Maui where they were chunks of grilled fish. This was smoked and shredded and then sautéed with some onion and peppers. Unique and very tasty. I was already getting full when my main course came out. The culichi sauce was amazing. I had to dip everything in it. Great meal and great prices. I definitely over ordered, but you bet I finished every bite. Next trip I'll probably try a cocktail to get more of that fresh seafood and wash it down with a couple micheladas. read more

This restaurant has the freshest and most delicious seafood as close to the border that you can get! Great customer service & their menu has plenty of items to choose from! Now serving chicken wings! read more

The place is not big so you might drive by it, Don't it so worth stopping and eating there. I had Camarones al la Diablo Yum! But you have to like spicy, because it will make your nose run. But the shrimp are so tender and delicious. My husband had the Camarones ahi, the garlic was roasted the shrimp cooked perfectly. And then they were on top of French fries. Fun and friendly it's definitely worth stopping in! read more

Oh my god this place is amazing. first time here and I ordered one of each of the tacos ohhh my god soooo flavorful and good the fish was grilled to perfection. So juicy flavorful and tasty. And the shrimp was soooo good and juicy well seasoned. read more

Excellently prepared seafood in the Arizona borderlands. We went for swordfish tacos & chipotle whitefish after starting with a delightful shrimp cocktail. Service was quick & friendly. read more

The food is good. I like the rice. The owner and the waitress are really nice and attentive. My favorites to order are the filet a la plancha, the tacos de Marlin, or the breaded shrimps. The horchata is also really good. read more

I drive from Los Angeles, there are few people in the restaurant but I must say that this place is excellent and there would be lots of people if it's in Los Angeles. Highly recommend meal number 24, very tasty and the service is perfect. read more

One time I went in the morning and asked for a "tostada de ceviche", the lady that attended me gave me more tomato and onion and no avocado. This was a tostada of tomato and onion. The other time I asked for "camarones rellenos de queso" and yes they were good until I got to my fourth shrimp. A hair was wrapped in the bacon and cheese. No hairnets? read more

Wow...a bit nervous when walking into this place. Yet, it was excellent. My wife's shrimp cocktail was awesome. My ceviche was very good too. I also had the camerones rellenos...excellent although too much to eat by then. My wife's filete sarandeado was great! Excellent prices too... So, don't let the outside appearance scare you away. Give this place a try! read more

After reading reviews we decided to try it. The service was great as were the margaritas. We asked our waitress about how spicy the sauces were before we placed our order. To our surprise, the chef came out with a sample of the sauce to be sure it worked for us! We've never had that level of service anywhere. We ordered the camaro cullichi and the red snapper culicchi. Both were excellent. We shared the Flan and it was so good that I could have eaten one by myself. We will definitely return to Machi. read more

First visit due to yelp reviews. We shared shrimp ceveche , Marlin tacos and fried whole fish. Very good food. Great way to start our vacation. read more

I did not expect a good seafood restaurant in the middle of desert. But it turned out to be a very good Mexican seafood one! Highly recommended!!! Food is authentic and the staff is very nice and friendly :) read more

Enjoyed a nice meal with 9 friends and family on a Saturday night. Born and raised in Nogales coming home after 30 years it was a challenge to find a location and food that would not disappoint. Thanks to Yelp reviewers this place rose to the top. The staff was fast and friendly and re-arranged seating to accommodate our large group. No less than 3 ensured all of our needs were met. We had oysters on the half shell, ceviche, campechananas and the recommended Smoked Marlin Tacos did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and tasty. I was glad to learn that they have been here for 6 years. I hope the locals enjoy it as much as we did to ensure their continued success so that we could enjoy them on our annual visits. read more

I love Machi!! Best seafood place I have ever been too. Definitely a gem for Nogales. You will never have a camarón endiablado as good as here. read more

The food is good! I visit Nogales every month due to work and this is my go to spot for dinner. Finding a good restaurant on the USA side of the border can be hard, this restaurant is the spot. I recommend trying their fish and shrimp dinner plates. read more
