Recommend: Yes Food: Yum! Service: excellent Ambience: we ate outdoors and that was nice. Tip: They do have 20% off for Taco Tuesday even though it is not noted anywhere. Details: my bf and I just stumbled upon this place by searching for Mexican food. I was looking for taco Tuesday but I didn't see any where on the menu that they had taco Tuesday. And we forgot to ask about it as well. I ordered the grilled octopus taco because I thought that was a very unique item on the menu that many other places don't have. Overall, I think the octopus didn't have much flavor but they do add in the sauce which tied everything together. But without it, the octopus would not have any flavor. All the tacos come with rice or beans as a set price regardless if u get the side or not. In addition, they also served some chips and salsa. This was very nice. They gave us a decent portion of chips and the salsa was slightly spicy and flavorful. Service was attentive and came to check on us if we needed anything. And our experience ended in a positively when we saw they reduce 20% for taco Tuesday so that was a plus. There were definitely other items on the menu I want, but that will be the next time I come back. read more

Pescado Borracho - Grilled Octopus Taco - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We came here because I had to drop off my car at a dealership close by. What an amazing experience, this place was awesome. The wait staff was great, the food was better. I felt like it took a long time to bring out our appetizer but at least the dinners didn't come out at the same time. So I was pleased. We will definitely be back! read more

Good food, ordered appetizers and one drink. It took a little bit longer than expected to get appetizers served than would expect. Service was good, it was obvious she was busy with many tables so there was a delay in drink refills etc. Love the casual environment and option to sit outside. read more

We ate here a few months back and remembered it being good. We were craving Mexican food and after reading the menu we thought that this food would hit the spot. We ordered 2 Baja Fish Tacos, the Blackened Salmon Taco, the Grilled Shrimp Taco, the Californian Taco and a Carnitas Taco and picked it up. They are very friendly and quick to get your order out. The food was still piping hot which I really appreciated. I got the Baja Fish Tacos & The Californian Taco. The Fish Tacos were pretty good. The Lime Crema complimented them well. I also had a Californian Taco which was so good, with the fries, crema & hot sauce. Everyone else enjoyed their tacos a lot. I enjoy this place especially because it's reasonably priced and the tacos are really good. We'll be back, maybe to dine-in again as they have a great interior. read more

What a disaster. $50 for lunch that was practically inedible and took 2 HOURS. Not very busy. took 20 minutes just to get menus. There appeared to be 1 server 1 greeter 1 bartender And no wanted to help anyone out. Every time we ask for help nothing happened. We got the bartender for our server (probably one reason it took so long). THE FOOD: 4 of us and no one's meal was very good. I had some pozole that was good. Green Chili was heavy on lime and just not good. Enchiladas were weird tasting. Friend had PB BUrrito and couldn't eat it. Octopus taco was just o k. No one ever came by to check. Needed more salsa and water. Chili was supposed to have tortillas. Took another 15 minutes to get those. TIME FOR CHECK: Of course had to chase someone down. Had ask for 2 separate checks. Of course they were on 1. Had to chase down server again. THERES MORE BUT I DONT WANT TO BORE YOU. read more

Food was good. Service was good. Ambiance was okay. The menu was a bit confusing, for every taco that you order you get a side but if you order two tacos you don't get another side choice. ‍ For the cost of one taco it is a bit pricey. I had the octopus taco with black beans and elote...it was delicious. read more

Pescado Borracho - One octopus taco with side of black beans, Elote appetizer, grilled fish taco, chips and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I'm torn on this review. The server was top notch. The beer was cold, and chips warm. But that's it for me. The burrito with carnitas cost $20. Kinda steep at that alone, but the burrito itself was primarily rice and beans. If you like rice and beans, it's awesome. I won't be back. read more

My sister and I were looking for something to eat on the evening before the Super Bowl, so we needed to stay in the south east part of the metro area - away from the crowds! My sister had been here a few weeks ago and had excellent food. We started with chips, salsa, green salsa and some incredible guac!! Really good beginning. Then my sister ordered the carnitas taco and I had the salad with portobellos for the protein in it. Both were really great. The salad was HUGE. The pico was super, beans were nicely spiced. The pickles on it were a huge surprise and really great. Good fresh veggies.... The salad dressings were good- but the salad had enough flavor that I barely used the dressings. Really nice people, fast service and they checked on us frequently. It was sweet to see the servers high five each other occasionally. Made me smile. Great job read more

TLDR: We enjoyed our food, but the service is unnecessarily slow. Details: From the time we were seated till we got our dinner was an hour. We were seated right away, and our server came shortly after for our drink order. We waited 20 mins for our drinks and chips. Then he took our order and disappeared. Our street tacos took another 40 mins. No clue why, but they said the kitchen was slammed. Half the tables were leaving after happy hour. The restaurant was moderately busy, especially for a Tuesday. It seems like it's not run well. Servers have tables all over the place and seem to have no rhyme or reason for who's serving whom. But the food is good. Huge bowl of chips and salsa. Decent dinner portions. Great options for gluten free and vegetarian. Chips are in the same fryer though. It seems a little pricey for the area and amount of food. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Their carne asada is tender and very flavorful. i got the Cali style burrito, it was so good! I loved the crema and the hot sauce! My husband got the Baja style burrito, which he loved. And our youngest devoured the Mac and cheese (she's picky) My oldest got one California taco (another picky eater) and she loved it. They made my middle daughter a bean and cheese burrito. It was good but don't cut it in half, the beans were not a thick refried bean. I also got the passion fruit margarita and it was delicious!!! We definitely will be back! read more

Pescado Borracho - The Californian style burrito - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Review 1: We've been here many times and food was amazing as always. If you like spicy and tart flavors, you'll love the estofado spicy stew. The braised beef short rib had great quality meat and a ton of it, I felt full after just that one taco. I tried some of my husband's fajitas and they were good too. Shrimp was big, juicy, and flavorful. Review 2: Happy hour was good! The Mama's Passionberry is my favorite cocktail I've ever had. read more

My parents love this place and have been asking us to join them here for a long time. Well we finally made it. We went for the whole fried snapper and my wife and I shared it. It was massive but we pretty much ate the entire thing. Man it was good. The service here was fantastic as well. My only complaint was the cocktails were not the best. My margarita tasted like it came out of one of those pre made mixtures from the store. My wife wasn't impressed with her Mescal Old Fashioned either. Still it was a great dinner and worth checking out. read more

Pescado Borracho - Whole Snapper Fried Crispy - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Went with a couple girlfriends to try a new place, here's the things I LOVED: 1. Our drinks. Delicious!! All 3 were good, both the margaritas and cocktails were well balanced and refreshing 2. The street tacos were loaded with delicious meat, with an undertone of lime which makes a street taco for me. Small but mighty filling! 3. The restaurant is beautifully decorated! I loved that it felt casual but also classy. It had kind of a come as you are feel, where you didn't feel either over or under dressed. The rest was really okay. I didn't dislike the beans and rice, but they weren't super notable. The street corn although in a yummy sauce, didn't taste very fresh. Kind of like a charred canned corn, but again the sauces were good! The butter cake was again okay, but the banana gelato on top was the star of the dessert. Our waitress was kind and attentive! I appreciated all the insight they had as far as menu guidance. read more

Hubby & I tried this place ton for the first time. Service was good. Drinks were great; I love red sangria! You get free chips & salsa if you ask for them. Hubby got 2 tacos, fried fish & blackened salmon. The "blackened" salmon could stand a lot more blackening. For $9 a taco you really think you would get at least 1 side. Most places give you rice & beans. Here you don't get any sides, Just 2 tacos for $18. I got the chicken fajitas, they come with 1 side. The chicken was really moist! But again, for $22 I feel you should get rice & beans; like you do at all other restaurant. And these are the most expensive chicken fajitas I've ever had. I was surprised how little chicken you get. I spent more & rice & refried beans. The rice was good, but I've never had corn in my Mexican rice. The refried beans were runny. So all in all, no real reason to return. We will stick to Nando's. read more

Saw server 2 times and forgot hot sauce (and to ring me up for it luckily) and kitchen messed up order (saw server took it down correctly on receipt) Waaay too small of tacos and lack of flavor for $9 a pop. It's definitely a bar that serves food. Not a restaurant that serves alcohol. read more

Pescado Borracho - Menu prices are absurd - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Pescado Borracho is a really nice looking restaurant. We've been searching for new places and we're very hopeful. Our Server was wonderful! Very attentive and helpful. He offered a sample of the ceviche I ordered, because he knew it was not traditional. After tasting the sample, I did order something different. I hated both their red and green salsas, along with the refried beans. The rest of the meal was nothing special either. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover here. read more

The food and drinks were delicious. I sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly but busy. I wasn't offered chips and salsa like he did the couple that came after me. However the menu did say upon request. read more

Go here way too much but they've got great tacos and the carnitas enchiladas are my absolute favorite

Some really good Mexican. The atmosphere was very cozy and service was friendly. We will be back.

It's been a while since I've been here. I enjoyed it last time. This time was quite disappointing. The queso was good. The guacamole was lacking flavor. We each got a taco. I asked for no habanero sauce but it came with it anyway. We ordered chika rones but they were out. We also ordered street corn to share but it wasn't very good. They also didn't take anything off our table like empty cups, chip bowl, etc. I was really disappointed. Lots of other places to go in the area so I will be checking those out instead of coming back here. read more

Wow. We loved this place previously. We went tonight at 4:45 and were well inside the happy hour times. We asked what the specials were and were told that it was "industry night" so 20% off the food bill. Also signature cocktails were $2 off. We both ordered fajitas and a cocktail from the signature list. I asked if I could switch the tequila for mezcal. The server said no problem. We got the bill and there was no 20% off. The $12 cocktail is that should have been $10 ($12-$2 for happy hour) was $17!!!! We brought all of this to the manager's attention. She said that industry night is for people in the "industry". We had no idea still... turns out it means food service industry. We are not that, but no one asked either. The margarita--because I changed it from tequila to mezcal that evidently voided the happy hour discount. All said we had to pay $16 over what we expected to pay. The manager was rude and unapologetic. I'd love a call from the actual manager. She can't possibly be the manager with her responses. I'm really disappointed. Food was good and hot. No complaints there. I rarely have given 2 stars. It hurts to do this. The manager could have saved this situation. read more

We have dined at Pescado Borracho several times, but our last visit was disappointing. My husband and I usually sit at the bar, and it took about 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. When we were finally asked if we wanted drinks, it took another 5 minutes just to get water. The bartender didn't acknowledge us until our food was served, and I believe the hostess was serving us. I requested a mix of half black beans and half pinto beans but was told no because it was Friday night and the kitchen didn't like doing that. I was only asking for a small portion of each, and by that time, the restaurant was not full and there wasn't a wait. While we were sitting at the bar, we weren't asked if we wanted another drink until we were done with our food. While I understand that food prices have increased, $20 for one small taco is excessive. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has declined, and the service was subpar. We used to enjoy this place, but we've decided not to return. The restaurant is cute and usually has immediate seating, but our recent experience with both the food and service was underwhelming. read more

Great place for fish tacos. Fresh tasty and prepared will skill. Did not appreciate the ala carte biz plan everything ordered separate drives up your bill and leaves a doubt if you will return read more

We went here based on yelp reviews. We were not disappointed! There were 5 in our party and we were seated at a large booth. We were very happy as there was plenty of room. Our server (Ryan) was wonderful! Very attentive yet let us relax & enjoy. We never felt rushed in the least! The Trio platter (appetizer) was scrumptious! The guacamole was fresh & authentic. The chips were fresh & warm. We all ordered something different & none of us were disappointed! One person ordered the fish estofado & it was delicious!! I am definitely ordering it the next time we go. We had the surf & turf fajitas. The corn tortillas were not the best but the rest was top notch! The manager came over & asked how we were & then the owner came over. It was very nice! We will definitely go again soon! Wonderful food, service & ambiance! read more

The service and food here are consistently good. I've had several items in the menu, and I've enjoyed them all. The prices are moderate, and the portions are sizable. If you're looking for outdoor dining in AZ during the summertime, this is the place to be. They have high-powered sprinkler fans on the patio that feel like air conditioners and don't drip on you. read more

Came here to celebrate my bday in March and let me tell you, I hate seafood! But this place called to me like the sea called to Moana, because as a Pisces, I planned to be a "Pescado Borracha" all weekend! I'm so glad I tried this because it's my new favorite spot! My handsome man had the steak and lobster fajitas and I had the chicken enchiladas and everything was phenomenal! The service was incredible for a late Friday, almost closing time dinner date, and the food was fresh, hot, and so tasty! Loved the TVs by the bar playing sports and the music was exactly what I wanted for this spot: Gave me a beach side sea food and surf vibe that I haven't felt since Huntington Beach in the early 2000's. 10/10 will definitely be back! read more

I'm not used to writing 2 star reviews and I don't mean to be harsh to those working at this restaurant. I simply did not enjoy my food, or the atmosphere near as much as I would expect for a restaurant charging this much for food. To start, I shared a trio appetizer with my mom. The cheese dip tasted as if it were from a can. The rest was your average guacamole and beans. As an entree I had the enchiladas with carnitas. I did enjoy my entree, however the rice tasted as if they used Uncle Ben's Minute Rice and spiced it up with corn. I wish I meant that as a comparison, but I quite literally believe that it what they used. My mom enjoyed a salad. All in all the experience was not worth the $100 bill for two people, not to mention the lack-luster presentation. read more

Customer service was really good here for starters. The food is where they are lacking for me. We ordered Chips and salsa, not a fan of the two salsas they brought out. We also tried their corn off the cob, which did have good flavor. Their menu is confusing because it gives you a name like "Californian " listed with ingredients. It doesn't tell you if it's a taco, burrito, or what it is. I had to ask the waitress and she told me it comes as a taco, but I could get it as a burrito. It is a la carte too. I ordered beans and rice on the side. The black beans were very bland. The rice had corn in it, I hated it. It was sweet and lacking flavor again. My taco had flavor, lots of spice. It was okay. We did order drinks and those were the highlight of the meal, which is why I give 3 stars. I would only come back here for drinks, not the food. read more

I'd say this is one of the best Mexican Restaurants to dine in! (I know it's like midnight and they are totally closed right now, but I want to write a postive review). Upon our arrival, (my family and I), were greeted and seated right away by a woman in the front counter who opened the doors for us. We looked at the menu and I wanted to order like everything. Not only because I was hungry but the way the menu was laid out and the description on the bottom of each title. Ok maybe I was just hungry at the time and that I could eat everything. But honestly, the menu wasn't too overwhelming like in some restaurants it's hard to choose when there is a lot of items to choose from. And amazing service by the way! For the chips and salsa, it says "free refill upon request", well we didn't ask and our waiter just handed us new batches because he saw we devoured it in less than 5 mins. I don't remember our waiter's name but he said "ok" a lot, after telling him our orders. So thank you to him for serving us that night! My favorite items on the menu: chickarones, pb street corn (garlic), carnitas and the unlimited chips and salsa! Why is it the best? Because everything were flavorful! I'd def! come back again! And maybe next time I'd have room for dessert! read more
