    Watermelon agua fresca
    Samantha N.

    Absolutely love the agua frescas here! My favorite is always the watermelon agua fresca, so fresh with amazing flavor. They're also known for their ceviche; I didn't get it this time, but it's always delicious and high quality. The service is super friendly, greeting us right when we walk in and quick too. From the outside, it looks like a little hole in the wall, but they serve very authentic ceviche. Overall, a great spot with excellent prices! The small agua fresca I got is actually a huge portion for only around six dollars!

    Michealada
    Brady M.

    Oh my goodness, this place is SO GOOD!! I had the shrimp ceviche, fish tacos and a michealada with dos XX. Everything was served fresh and fast. The staff is responsive and friendly. Great location close to the ASU campus and the freeway. But let me get back to this food! The ceviche was so fresh and the shrimp tender. You can tell right away when the ceviche is premade in the morning and sat there until lunch rush. This stuff tasted like they just made it like right now for me! The fish tacos were so hot and tasty. I even got a bite of shrimp taco when it came out by accident. I regret sending it back. Maria was my server, she was so sweet and attentive. Everyone in this place is doing a great job and the cooks and the food are operating on another level! Do yourself a favor and try this place. 10/10 would definitely recommend! I will be back again and again!

    The spread. Aguachile rojo in front
    Tammy L.

    We just landed and were on our way to our hotel but wanted to get a bite to eat first. We decided on mariscos and stopped in here. It's a casual place where you order up front and then sit down while they prepare your order and they bring it by. Honestly? Honestly? We didn't have enough stomach to try what we really wanted to try so we stuck to a shrimp/octopus cocktail, aguachile verde and a fish taco. Hubby had the cocktail and said it was pretty good. I thought the aguachile and the fish taco were also very delicious. The guy who helped us was very helpful and friendly. Nothing to complain about. 10/10 would come here again. Check it out!

    Botana Especial

    This place has the best mariscos in Arizona!!! I always get the Botana Especial (red and green aguachiles with shrimp ceviche) and their cheese quesadillas! SO GOOD and always fresh - my go to spot!

    Seafood ceviche tower
    Diem N.

    Very friendly courteous service. Love the seafood ceviche tower! Octopus was soft and tender like Los Cabos makes it. Do have the mango margarita with tamarind chilli brimmed, ask light ice so you'll get more margarita Yes will definitely come back again!!

    Mariscos el Wicho in Tempe is hands down the BEST mariscos spot in Arizona! Service was a 10/10, food 10/10, atmosphere 10/10, and the value for the quality is unbeatable. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delivered with care. I had the Mango Ceviche--perfectly prepared shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy mango sauce, topped with strawberries and oranges for a refreshing, mouthwatering balance. Absolutely unforgettable! He ordered the Botana Especial, featuring butterfly shrimp marinated in both red and green marisco sauces, separated by their signature ceviche in the middle. The flavors blended together beautifully--savory, tangy, and bold. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and I can confidently say they have the best ceviche in Arizona. If you love authentic mariscos, this is a must-visit!

    Fresh Watermelon chunks
    Jessie P.

    Fresh, Flavorful, and Worth Every Bite! I'm always hesitant to eat seafood in Arizona, but Mariscos El Wicho has completely changed the game for me! This place is everything I look for: super fresh, flavorful, and clean (my #1 priority). I ordered the ceviche de camarón, and it was perfection. One thing I loved is that they didn't mix ketchup into it--instead, they provided packets on the side, letting me enjoy the ceviche just how I like it: savory, tangy, and packed with lime. The vegetables were diced perfectly--no overwhelming chunks--and the balance of shrimp to veggies was spot on. We also tried the aguas frescas, and they were out of this world! I had the watermelon, and my coworker had the pineapple--both were absolutely phenomenal. They were flavor-packed without being overly sweet, hitting all the perfect notes. The portions are generous, the value is great, and the service is excellent. This is hands down some of the best seafood I've had in Arizona. I almost don't want to share how amazing this place is so it doesn't get too busy... just kidding (kind of). Support this spot--they deserve all the love!

    Toastada shells
    Laura P.

    So I came here the other night for the first time. I got the Tuesday taco special ( forgot to take a picture) and it was really good! The guy serving was really nice but could smile vs. just looking so serious. The place looked nice but the music was a little loud for me. I ordered tostadas for my mom. I did like the way that served, kinda make your own. I just wish they would close so early.

    Limoñada Mineral
    Arthur F.

    Hey everyone, back with another feastora for you. Been on the list for a minute, and for great reason and super glad it was. Definitely one of the better Mariscos places I've been to lately. Check it out. Limoñada Mineral - Super refreshing, super smackalicious, this one's perfect for me cause I'm always mixing juices and sparkling water. Amazing! For real. Try it! Guacamole, Salsa & Chips. Love the Chips, homemade, Guacamole was delicious, Salsa was on point, no complaints at all. Yum! Botana Mixta - Shrimp, Pulpo & Callo soaked in lime juice and house cocido, served with fresh Tomatoes and Cucumbers, Tostadas on the side, yooooo. Must order for me. Tosti-Ceviche - First time for me but absolutely loved it. Super good Ceviche de Camarón on too of a bed of Salsa Verde Tostitos and fresh Avocado on top. Yummmmm Check em out for sure, super clean spot, the staff was super attentive, the food was amazing, the music was on point, all of it. Will be back for sure, it made my list for sure.

    Ceviche de Camaron

    I am from LA and every time I travel to PHX for work, I have to stop by El Wicho!! Ceviche de camarón con una agua de sandía hits the spot every time! The service was good because they checked up on me to see if there's anything else I needed!! And they got classic songs playing all day!! I recommend this spot !! 10/10 for me !!

    Large cóctel de camarón
    Jessica C.

    Look, it's simple right? Mexican Shrimp cocktail... then why has been it been challenging to find one that satisfies my palate? Well, until now. I've been craving a cóctel de camarón and I've done as I always do, scroll and search because I'm not going to make it myself because I always make 2lbs worth and then eat it all in like a day and well, that never feels good after the fact. I get excited about a spot and then become uncertain upon reading reviews, or disappointed after getting one from a spot. Today, I scrolled and scrolled and found Mariscos el Wicho, the reviews, though few seemed promising. Now, I was almost confused by the spot located in suite 10.... Marisocos is suite 1 at the end of the plaza. Strolled on in. I admit I may go a bit heavy on Valentina and ketchup when I make mine at home... maybe. So, I did add a squirt of ketchup into mine after first taste and a mix of the plethora of hot sauce options on the table. Look, I don't know why it was so frigging good to me? Maybe because I'd been craving it? I could literally taste everything, cucumber, avocado, cilantro and the jalapeno and it just tasted so good, refreshing. The shrimp was fresh. It all tasted so fresh. Like so fresh AND I received better service at the table than I have in a restaurant in a long time. Like for real, and it was friendly not this awkward weird "leave me alone, already" type of thing. No, the dude was great, the cocktail was exactly what I wanted and needed and I am likely to head in again but next time I'll go for a regular and not a large. So glad I skipped the drink. Not a visible public restroom but I did hear him offer upon inquiry. I'm satisfied. A little pricey I suppose, with a heavier tip $25 but I got the large, it came with the perfect number of totasta shells for the portion and a few packs of saltine crackers. I wouldn't have made my own for any less and these days, it isn't really all that pricey. Not to mention, the taste was worth every penny.

    Último bocado de la botana especial!

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.

My disappointment seems to be this last year with the sushi just hasn't been the best or fresh tasting. The Las Vegas roll was always nice and warm but with an awesome cold center and fried to perfection and the sauce just right. Lately it's been the opposite. Super over fried were all you can taste is old burnt oil and it dried out and the sauce just bland and not helping at all. The other thing that bothers us is the lack of wasabi they give! If you're not going to give us full flavor, at least give more wasabi to help mask. I will say they give you plenty of soy sauce packets (just barely any wasabi).
