I've lived in cottonwood for years and had never tried this restaurant.. What a mistake that was! This place was so great! I can't say enough about the staff here. The women that ran the place & served us was so friendly and engaging. She gave great recommendations on what to order and she was not wrong! We had the FRIED MEXICAN SUSHI and whaaaat!? It was by far my favorite thing I've eaten in a year. Hands down. Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing food. My hubby and I will be coming back as often as possible. To the owners of the business- you have 2 customers for life now! Thank you! Very nice change of pace from some of the other places in town. read more

Mineros - Fried Mexican sushi = best meal ever - Seafood Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

Stopped in here for lunch I really wish I stopped a long time ago. This place was really good will be going back to try the Louisiana seafood next read more

We were staying in Clarksdale and were exhausted after doing the Verde Canyon train ride , wanted something near by, saw this place and took a chance and it was great! I had the chicken tacos and my husband had the special carne asada street tacos! They give you plenty to get full. He asked for some hot sauce and they delivered on the heat! The place was very clean and restaurant looked festive, I loved the string lights. They had a parking lot and a child's playground that was gated and connected to the restaurant and you could see through the windows. But our hostess/ waitress was just so friendly and funny, she made our visit pleasant and it was funny having her set my husband right because he was tired and getting grumpy on our 20th wedding anniversary, lol. Hope to be back out and visit again read more

One of the things I've missed most since moving to Cottonwood is a variety of good food with spice. I've also spent a good amount of time on the gulf coast and sometimes I just miss a good boil. This place PROVIDES. My husband and I showed up today--Fat Tuesday!--with high hopes but low expectations... high hopes were fulfilled! We ordered a Queen's seafood boil ($49.99 for food that's more than enough for two people) and it was so much better than I thought it would be. Lots of flavor, big portion, great, attentive waitress. As I write this, this restaurant has two stars on Yelp. What the hell, Cottonwood? I know most of you think mayonnaise is spicy but *broaden your horizons*. If this place closes I'll never forgive this city. We'll be back. read more

Amazing food, environment, and owners! We were just passing through Cottonwood with two grumpy toddlers and decided to stop here. We tried the Mexican sushi and it was amazing! My kiddos loved their kid's meal and wow the playground was such an amazing added feature. Finally, the owners are extremely friendly and personable. If we lived in Cottonwood we would be at Mineros as often as we could be! What a gem! read more

Mineros - RICK, Melissa, Alex, Linda - Seafood Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

Went back so second time. I thought this place was great first time there. Well ... not so great. Had shrimp and it was overcooked, dry and burnt. I ordered no French fries. Gave me a ton of them and they were frozen. And basically awful. Fish and shrimp were both overcooked and dry. My first review was Mineros was very good. This time not so. Been looking for good seafood in Cottonwood ever since I got here. I don't think there is any. So disappointing. I might give it one more try but not sure on that. read more

We really wanted to like this place. We watched them take a run-down bar and build it into a beautiful restaurant. Beautiful fenced playground out back for kids. Interesting concept, Mexican food and Louisiana seafood. Then we tried it. Very, very loud Mexican music drowned out any hope for conversation. Air conditioning vent blew right onto table, making us so cold we had to change tables. Menu had so many typos that we had to have the waitress find out what the actual menu items were. See photos. We ordered 1 lb snow crab, 1 lb clams, 2 corn, 2 potatoes, and 1/2 dozen sausage. Plates were styrofoam meat trays. Food came served in plastic bags inside a metal bucket, with no utensils to get the hot food from the bag to the "plate". Sausages were actually quarter-sized slices of kielbasa. Corn was 1/2 ear of previously frozen corn on the cob. Potatoes were red skinned, very undercooked. Clams were littleneck, but most shells were empty. Snow crab was ok. Clarified butter had to be ordered at an additional charge. I am reasonably certain it was not true butter. Couldn't get salt to come out of the shakers. The table next to us asked the waitress if all the seafood was fresh, and she said it was. (It clearly is previously frozen). When they asked the waitress how often they get their seafood delivered, she said, "Every Monday morning." As we were here on Saturday night, I am truly thankful it was frozen! The final straw was when we paid the bill. It took the waitress 15 minutes to return with my credit card, and on the bill was an ADDITIONAL $1.63 charge for using a card! We paid the bill, including a 20% tip for the waitress, and promptly went out for a pizza. read more

Phenomenal and unique Mexican food! Highly recommend the Mexican sushi!! Great service and not very busy. Should be more! Great place for kids to play as well. read more

DEAD BUGS ON FOOD One star, because half a star isn't an option. If this place isn't a front for some kind to launder money or whatever else, I can't imagine what is. My husband and I have been wanting to bring the kids here because of the play area in the back, even though we've been discouraged because of their so called unique 'Mexican-Louisiana style sea food(?) options. With few new options in town we have it a go. We walked in with our two babies, met by a friendly elderly lady whom when we asked to sit outside near the Playland she mumbled to herself told us to take it easy on her and that she was the only one on and sat us directly next to the register. We looked over the sloppy put together menu, that had no photos of the actual dishes rather printed photos from google. We were hesitant, let ourselves outside, ordered one Cadillac marg and one entree to split between the four of us just to try it. We were brought our cocktail that turned out to be like tequila and ginger beer, we could tell by tastte both being bartenders. We were brought chips and salsa and our dish. We got a couple bites in and realized there were DEAD ANTS ALL OVER THE CHIPS!!!!!!!!! I immediately grabbed the basket and headed inside to show it to the lady. She made so many jokes and did not take it seriously. At the end she chose to give us a check charging us for the 'margarita' and the entree. Because "the food didn't have any ants on it, just the chips" Long story short, all we paid for was the alcohol and will not be returning. I highly advise no one ever goes here and that who ever runs the food and beverage and/or restaurant committee in this town give them a real solid looking into. read more

Great food excellent service will definitely come back best Mexican food in the area as well as seafood I ordered the chimichanga with green sauce a lot of flavor everything was good including the Michelada read more

Employees are duper friendly and the Mexican sushi is fantastic! There is an outdoor area with lots of activities fit the kids( slide etc).

Amazingly friendly service! Great place for taking the kiddos before the long drive home. Food served family style. Come hungry!

We had high hopes for this place, as it is in our neighborhood. Maybe the worst meal we ever had. Staff were personable, but untrained, as if no one knew what was going on. Had to send back one meal as inedible. The place looks great, but someone's opened a place without a clue how to run it. read more

ZERO STARS!!!!! This place is horrible. The beer was flat and the tequila taste like they put water in it. The best part was the rotten crab legs they served my girlfriend and I. Not only was the rotten crab cooked with all of our other food (that was not replace) but the new crab legs she brought us were also rotten. At least she still charged us for the two, ten dollar flat beers! What an experience this place is a shit hole. read more

This place was really expensive, the cheapest thing is $15. They only offer one spice level for the salsa and that's spicy. Also they charge you 3% if you don't pay with cash. read more

Horrible experience, and was super excited to try. The food is over priced for the quality, they clearly have no idea what "Louisiana seafood" is even though it's on their sign... they don't even know what seasoning to use, it was over cooked, and the "andouille sausage" was actually just smoked sausage. Nice try, guys. We also tried the queso, which is normally an appetizer, used with a melted type of cheese, but this was just a greasy mess that hardened too fast, and was served as a meal with rice and beans?? And one huge tortilla?!? The only good thing was the chorizo. They have fried food, which they don't even know what type of proper breading to use, and have no cocktail sauce?!?!? Who has fried fish without cocktail sauce? The tartar sauce tasted more like ranch. Half of the staff looks like they have no idea what they should be doing, our young server was very nice though. Worst $80 I've ever spent. Will never be going back. Which stinks because I thought that it was cool that they had a kid's playground. Just come to my house, I'll show you how to properly do a seafood boil. ;) I assure that the only people posting positive are relatives of the owners!! read more

My husband and I like to support new businesses, local businesses. I'm starting off with four stars because we're going to have to go back and try it again. Not sure how they came up with Mexican Louisiana Seafood , but the menu reflects that. I'm not sure how fresh the seafood is and I'm a little nervous about that cuz we do live in Arizona with no oceans. My husband had the shrimp fajita skillet and I had the shrimp and french fry basket. My husband said he really enjoyed it, the spice on the fajita was really good and he thought the shrimp was good as well. I had the Shrimp Basket which was okay , you really can't go wrong deep frying battered shrimp and french fries. They offer you a small bowl of chips and salsa to start off with and it's free and the salsa super hot. We didn't try any of the Margaritas they offer we're not much of drinkers. The inside they did a really good job with decorating , I remember when it was pretty much a dive bar. Outside they have a space for kids with slides and fun stuff and parents can sit out there and smoke while their kids play. I'll have to give it another try and maybe be brave to try the seafood, but I'm sure it's frozen and you just have to make sure how long has it been frozen before it starts tasting really fishy. But everybody should give it a try and support this new business in Cottonwood. read more

Mineros - Great bar - Seafood Near Me - Cottonwood, Arizona

Really disappointed. I know Louisiana seafood. Told me the shrimp was from Argentina. Salsa was very hot. Asked the waitress for something to tame it down she brought me a glass of water! Carne asada was tough and tasteless so were the beans and rice. No seasoning. Friend had shrimp fajitas quarter size frozen shrimp! Waited along time for it to open lots of remodeling. Food was awful. read more

Thought we would give it a try, and walked out before we even ordered. It's to expensive for this area. And the food selection was not the best in my opinion. When I go to a mexican restaurant, I want more then just 4 items to select from. . I wont go back read more

Outstanding. We shared a combo queen between two people and still had some to take home. I will definitely be back.

Probably the worst meal I have had in a Mexican restaurant. Enchilada sauce tasted over cooked/ burnt. The rice was so dry you could hardly eat it. They only had chicken tacos. Again the chicken was so dry and rubbery you couldn't chew it. Our waitress was clueless, she couldn't answer our question, she did not get our order right and she never came back to check on us. They were not busy at all but the waitresses were just standing around talking to each other. Sorry they don't get another chance read more

I may have been too generous with three stars, but where this restaurant lacked in class (considering the prices) it made up for in flavor. My friend and I ordered a half pound of shrimp, but mostly because we were confused and less than thrilled with the variety of the menu. All of the seafood comes in either pound or half-pound orders, so don't expect to order a meal, but rather share the seafood out of a bag placed directly on your table. The presentation, in other words, left more to be desired, but I could understand what they were going for; the "Louisiana experience." Unfortunately, in a town such as Cottonwood, this experience is extremely difficult to mimic. Bibs, gloves, a bucket, and a bag. The plates were styrofoam and... I just don't see it. I'm at a loss for many graces toward this place, because while the shrimp was fantastic, the entire experience was just bland and too odd. The waitress was extremely friendly and prompt, but I imagine it's because the place was virtually empty, anyway. I hope they can make some adjustments to the menu and presentation, because I'd eat there again if I could have a meal on a plate. If you want the best experience, bring a group of people (4-8) and get one of the few offered combos (King, Queen, etc), get messy with the food, enjoy yourselves, but this wouldn't be a recommended date-spot. This seems more of a place to hang for a while with good friends, have a few drinks, and be merry/loose. You may enjoy it, but expect the unexpected, I suppose. read more

The service was so so the food is way over priced the food wasn't good. The ice tea was sour. They charged me a 3% fee for my card use. The building was kinda cute. But it still looked like a strip bar. read more

New spot, good food, menu a little confusing, staff is nice, beans were real refried, nice patio, good place to check out

We tried it 3 times. Food quality is poor, drinks watered down. Pricey. You'll be happier at Denny's.

The food is the best Mexican I've had in the area! Friendly service, great beer, and amazing food. The shredded beef was very flavorful and the green enchilada was fabulous! I would recommend this place to everyone! read more

We were so so disappointed and we will not go back. Cheese enchilada was a corn tortilla wrapped up with spicy enchilada sauce and cheese on top, the chicken in the taco tasted spicy too. The rice looked like minute rice with enchilada sauce mixed into it. I had to go home and take a Zantac. read more

Great lunch. I had cheese enchiladas and tostadas and a margarita. It was great and I will be back for the Mexican sushi and Cajun options in the future. Nice ambiance with outdoor options. They have a dog friendly patio too! read more

We like to support a new business in town, but save your money and time. Hands down the worst Mexican food we have ever had. We ordered off the lunch menu. I had a bean tostada, enchilada with rice and beans. I wondered why they didn't say what kind of enchilada, well there was nothing in it. Just a rolled corn tortilla with nasty burned black sauce on it. The decor was really nice and the outside dining play area was spectacular. read more

I Was so excited for the restaurant to open we went there as soon as possible. Food was overpriced ($15 fajitas with popcorn shrimp) and bland. The salsa is overly hot with no other option. The menu was was not understandable and the wait staff seemed equally confused but annoyed by my asking for clarification. The final straw was the 3% surcharge for non cash payment. We won't be back read more

You cant have a limited menu and be good an none of it..sucks i wanted it to be good..

If you like seafood this is the place for you. The food is delicious and the owners are friendly. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who love good food and a good atmosphere. read more

Amazing service and very good food, not sure what the other reviews are talking about this place is great. I got the two stuffed poblanos with shrimp, it was all delicious and the staff is very friendly. I will be back for sure read more

Do not eat here the seafood was bad as in rotten! The food they replaced it with was also rotten! The beer was flat and the tequila was most definitely watered down this place is a joke. They comped the shitty food after I argued with the "cook" who wouldn't even eat her own food but still charged me for the two shitty beers that was 21+dollars. This place needs to be shut down. read more

Very bad food. Food poisoning from one bite. Cold rice, spongy fish and terrible margarita. Bad management. Manager lady with too much eye and lip liner was super argumentative and rude as hell. No discount or anything for our dissatisfaction. Stay away!!! read more
