Food was delicious. the service wasn't the best. although they did make up for it by giving us birthday shots since we were celebrating my birthday
We were inspired to visit by the various Instagram post that we have seen. We are were delighted that we finally made it there. The service was phenomenal, food was delicious and ambience was friendly and inviting. I would highly recommend. I want to go back and try more items on the menu.
Was craving seafood and this was near me so I stopped in. There is a parking lot attached which was really convenient and easy. We were seated right away and our waiter was kind and attentive. He recommended the calamari which was crispy and good. My tacos were huge! 2 were definitely enough to fill you up. Want to try their plates next. Good flavor. Salsas provided added a good spice to the tacos as well. Would recommend!
I chasing the best ceviche in the valley and wanted to try Marisco Boys. It was decent. Our server was attentive and restaurant is nice. It wasn't busy when we went which was actually nice. We also tried the mussels with chorizo which was good. But several mussels were not open when we checked. Bummer.
I had been anticipating attending a concert in downtown Phoenix for some time, having bought the tickets months in advance. A meal before the concert was strategically a wise choice, but which dining venue would suffice? While brainstorming with my fellow concertgoer, we had both seen the recent New Times feature on best new places to eat in the area. Marisco Boys popped up as the most enticing, especially due to its proximity to downtown and the fact that we are both seafood lovers. I made a reservation well in advance knowing when the day of the Duran Duran concert came around, my partner-in-crime and I would be "Hungry Like the Wolf"! We sat in a booth at what was now a classy remodeled Coco's restaurant that they really managed to "swankify" (if such a word even exists). Our server Ivan was overly gracious and helpful in explaining the menu. We decided to start with the ceviche so we could chat and nosh. The crisp tortillas perfectly complimented the tangy seafood bites, and I was thrilled to see we had chunks of octopus in the mix. There was some debate about what to order and share next, so we considered the deep-fried octopus and the pescado, but instead chose the Camarones Zarandeados (head-on mesquite-grilled shrimp). I was completely thrilled with the Camarones dish once I tried it. The mesquite smoke combined with the savory, salty, complex sauce on the shrimp was a vibrant flavor bomb! The only thing I feel could have added to the dish was maybe a starchy accompaniment. Maybe a polenta or something to break up the shrimp-meat feast and give your taste buds a short reprieve. Otherwise, a stellar dish and memorable dining experience. I intend to return and try the Pescado Zarandeado, because I'm certain the magic of the mesquite grill would be evident in that fish. I understand why Marisco Boys was recognized as one of the ten best new restaurants in 2025. The food and service speak for themselves. We were told they were working in a brunch menu, which I can only imagine will be wild. Do yourself a favor and make a visit to Marisco Boys. "The wild (marisco) boys are callin' on their way back from the fire..."
I was excited to try Marisco Boys because we are big fans of Taco Boys. We opted to go for restaurant to try out some items on the menu. We actually found several enticing options on the menu that we almost opted out of the restaurant week menu. Let me say a few things, you've got to like a woodsy/mild smoked food style and seafood. If you don't, you'll have a hard time enjoying this place. I would also recommend making a reservation if you do plan on going here. The ambiance and decor were cute and upscale. But, what's great is that the prices of the food didn't that type of cost associated with it. I'm not a big drinker so didn't try any of the cocktails but I imagine it tastes good. For apps, we had ceviche and the spicy butter clams. The ceviche was good, one of the best things we ate. It was tasty, dynamic, and balanced. Lots of flavors but in a good way. The clams were way too small to be meaningful as a dish. I tasted everything else but the clams. For main courses, we had pescado a la talla and surf and turf. The pescado had two sauces, green citrus herb and a red chipotle mole. The fish was meaty, white fleshed, and both sauces were great. They offered nice variety of flavors to the dish. The surf and turf was a dry rub prime fillet with buttered grilled prawns. The prime fillet was cooked to a perfect medium rare but the 2 prawns were small, dry, and mushy. Overall, the dishes were seasoned really nicely - balanced yet flavorful, but also know smacking you in the face. Execution is very high for the dishes. While there are dishes I wouldn't get again, there are others I would. Excited to try more items the next time we stop in.
It was truly a pleasure dining at Mariscos Boys! From the moment we walked through the beautiful entrance, we were impressed. The ambiance was immaculate, stylish, and inviting--you can tell they put thought into every detail. The customer service was wonderful and made us feel genuinely welcomed. But the food... WOW! That was definitely the star of the experience. Every bite was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and truly top-tier! Whether you're looking for the perfect spot for a lunch date, a dinner date, family time, or a night out with friends, Mariscos Boys delivers an experience worth having. We left impressed, satisfied, and already looking forward to coming back! 10/10 -- BAR NONE! Highly recommend! If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!
I have enjoyed Taco Boys in the past, and being a lover of seafood I was anxious to try their new place, Marisco Boys. I think this building used to be a Coco's, and they've done a really great job of updating. There's some great lighting fixtures, a Long bar with cool lighting on the edge, and lots of plants. She had a great server who helped to guide me when I had questions about what to order. Several good choices on the cocktail menu, and with though I only looked briefly, it looked like there were quite a few wines to choose from as well. There are so many great options for seafood. I can't remember the names of the cocktails we ordered - so sorry! We also started off with guacamole and chips with our cocktails. Hubby knew right away he wanted the grilled mahi mahi, which was served with cilantro rice and sliced marinated veggies. The veggies kind of look like I'm bigger version of what you find in ceviche. I didn't try the rice or veggies, but I tried the fish and it was amazing! I should mention the portion was also huge - - twice the size that you might find in other restaurants. I was torn between a few things and asked our server to help. I ended up ordering the chicharron de pulpa, which is fried octopus. It is served with sliced tomatoes and avocado puree and a side of flour tortillas. I did like the octopus even though I'm normally not one to choose fried seafood. On the tortilla with the avocado puree and the tomatoes it was delicious! I give Marisco Boys a thumbs up, but I will order the mahi-mahi next time, as it was better than the side octopus.
Went in last month for the first time, not a big seafood gal but I tagged along with my friend! He ordered the Pescado Zarandeado and I had the Ribeye Tacos, he said he loved his and I absolutely loved mine and I find myself craving those tacos often! Service was awesome, they were super attentive, had great recommendations, and very friendly! Can't wait to go back!
We love a shareable meal and Marisco Boys delivers amazing fish platters for a table! Along with cocktails and appetizers the different seafood preparations, fried, braised, grilled, were a visual and taste sensation for 7! Great service made for a nice evening. I want to go back to try the tacos and vampiros!
We have been looking forward to trying this place- and it was better than we hoped. The food was incredible, great service, and perfect atmosphere. We celebrated our anniversary here.
First let me start off by saying the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL!! We unfortunately did not have the most pleasant experience. It could've been the server, but my order was wrong two times! I didn't bother to tell him the second time since he gave a weird reaction the first time.. so I didn't eat what I wanted to eat. The fish taco was really good and the oysters were good though. Drinks were good and the bartender was very friendly.

We've always loved Taco Boys, so since it was Good Friday and we couldn't have meat, we decided to finally try Marisco Boys. Honestly, this place deserves every bit of the 5 stars. Everything we ordered was so good. The calamari was crispy outside, tender inside, and the black sauce was packed with flavor. The swordfish skewers were juicy and cooked perfectly, and the sauce with them was one of my favorite parts of the meal. The Camarones Zarandeados were super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. You could really taste the quality. We also had the Gobernador taco, Baja Fish Taco, and the Vampiro, and all three were delicious. The Gobernador was cheesy, flavorful, and had great texture. The Baja Fish Taco was fresh, light, and honestly tasted like something you'd get by the beach. The Vampiro was recommended by our waiter and ended up being such a good choice too. We were unsure about the corn flan at first, but it ended up being amazing. It sounded unusual, but it worked so well and was definitely worth trying. Omar took great care of us all night. He had such a great attitude, gave really good recommendations, checked on us often, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a more classy sit-down feel compared to Taco Boys, while still feeling comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommend this place. Great food, great service, great atmosphere ,definitely a 10/10. read more

First, I'm impressed with what they were able to do with a building that clearly used to be a chain restaurant. The decor is clean and modern, so kudos for that. Service was friendly and quick, but still relaxed enough for the casual elegant experience I think they're going for. I didn't try the drinks this evening, but the options looked good and the bar fully stocked. I would go back for the fried octopus alone--so delicious and well prepared! The whole fried tilapia was also good, but it seemed like the portion was strangely smaller than I expected. Lots of sides and the showy fried fish, but with the fillets cut off, I felt like I was missing some of the meat. The head on shrimp were also good, but I had one that was a little undercooked. Much more generous on the shrimp plate though! I would try them again. read more

Great food, fresh seafood, and excellent service! Everything we ordered was delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Our server, Ivan, was amazing--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. He really made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back! read more
Love that the taco boys have done so well they could expand to a mariscos line of business. The atmosphere is a much fancier spot and service. The food was all terrific. Highly recommend the aguachile shrimp especially if you like spice. They were wonderful. The ceviche tostada was piled high and my picture was only the leftover second tostada worth. Great flavor especially with the mango. Cocktail menu had tons of options and a great Mexican beer selection. read more
Super flavorful food, the chiles were so mouthwateringly delicious and full of flavor! The shrimp plate was also very tasty. The service from our server was mid, not rude or anything just not very interactive and also made us wait a long time to pay at the end. Other than that the location is good and lots of parking and inside the restaurant is very modern and nice. read more

I had an amazing experience here! The seafood was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered came out quickly and was beautifully presented. The shrimp, ceviche, and aguachile were all packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere, and the prices were fair for the quality of the food. If you're looking for authentic, delicious mariscos, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back and most importantly thank you to our server iva read more

BEST MEXICAN AFFORDABLE SEAFOOD RESTARAUNT EVER !!!! Ivan was such a great server and made sure everything was fresh . He did warn me about the black sauce Aguachile and it was spicier than ever but so good . Very very beautiful restaurant, only thing I could critique were the micheladas . Needs more Clamato and sourness but all in all amazing read more

The boys are hot right now. We've been excited for this new concept to open as we love some taco boys. The year of the restaurant is high-end, trendy, upscale. We went on a Saturday night a week after opening, not too busy (yet). It is unequivocal the spot will be a hit soon. I ordered the tuna tostada, which had incredible flavor. I tried crab ceviche as well, which was excellent. Only complaints is that portion sizes are a little tiny. Nonetheless will definitely be back soon. read more
Another great concept from Taco Boys. It's so nice that they chose to change things up a bit and went for a more elevated dining experience. The restaurant is really nice with modern decor and ample seating. There's a large bar area. I ordered ceviche de jaiba and it was super tasty and fresh. My husband got yellowtail tostada and the salsa negra with chiltepin was a perfect touch. My sister got ceviche mixto and if you like spicy you'll definitely enjoy this. Tip: if you get a ceviche make it a bowl for $5 extra, otherwise it will be a tostada and smaller. I feel the bowl is the way to go. Our server was friendly and warm. We were a little bummed that they didn't have any of the desserts listed in their menu, I was dying to try the elote flan. I am definitely going to be back again very soon. read more

Tasty food. Very nice environment. Everything was very fresh and seasoned well. We ordered a lot of food! Aguachile , soup and tostada. I will be returning to try the chicharon de pulpo! Beware of spiciness!! We love it spicy!!!!!! The tuna sashimi is amazing!!! read more
Always been a fan of the Az Taco boys so when I found out they opened up a SeaFood place I had to check it out ! I love the open layout very nice lighting and leaving the blinds open was a nice touch. The music was annoying but I can see the vibe they are going for... I love the beer selection and the beer on draft was nice and cold. They did not offer chips and salsa. Water cup was always full and staff boys were always attentive. We ordered the Callos Preparados and 1 shrimp taco. The food came out pretty fast, the shrimp taco was very delightful and perfectly fried. The Callos preparados were very fresh and they came with a black sauce with Chiltepin which was the perfect spiciness for me but felt like the price for portion was a bit off. Overall I would be going back to try more menu items but hope the music choice is better lol but that's just me. read more

Definitely will be back ! read more

Fresh, quality, and delicious! Living in LA, I've had quite a few of mariscos and this restaurant was amazing. Service was on point but the ambiance truly was a standout. We were kind of surprised at first that this was a marisco -- the owners definitely spent some time trying to create an unforgettable experience. Seafood was super fresh! It's also conveniently near the airport so def check it out if you're in town! read more
