Pescado Borracho

The best casual mexican food I have had anywhere in West Coast or SW USA. We were visiting our son in AZ at college and he recommended we try this place. It doesnt look like much on the outside when you drive up, but the food is absolutely fantastic with very unique and fresh takes on classics as well as new innovative dishes My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout Southern CA and most of the SW USA and this is hands down the best low cost casual Mexican food we have had read more

First time, trying this place on a recommendation from a great friend. My wife and I had the blackened salmon taco, Pollo Asada taco, and crispy fried fish taco with sweet corn and chips and salsa. The food was absolutely delicious and the seafood was so fresh. I then found out It's the same owners as high tide, and it made me love this place even more. I highly recommend. read more

Are you kidding me? That's what I keep on repeating after my trip to Pescado Borracho, And you will be too after you try some of their yummy yummy tacos! Fellow yelpers, I pride myself on finding awesome tacos wherever it is I travel too. And this week I'm in Phoenix Arizona and happy to say I found the mother load! Anytime you can see and octopus taco on the menu, you had better order it! So I ordered up an octopus taco, as well as a brisket taco, and an order of chips and salsa just for giggles. The sounds of choices were green tomatillo and a few roasted red salsa. The green tomatillo salsa was so sour, I couldn't stand it. The river was good but it just lacks some heat, so I asked the waitress if they had anything to kick it up a notch. Fortunately, they have a habanero salsa that will do just the trick (bring extra Kleenex because your nose will run!) The octopus taco was as expected... AWESOME!!! However the brisket taco was less than his lesson. Imagine your mother making the best slow roasted beef dish, only to serve it with a bunch of pickles on top The waitress said that it was the green tomatillo sauce that they leave a little chunkier, all I can say is they should've left it off. Which brings me to an uncomfortable moment, that being once you express that you didn't like something, shouldn't the server do something about it? I guess, but they chose to do nothing, so I guess not! But, whatever... I'm here for the tacos, and I used the spoon to scrape off all of the pickle stuff on the beef taco. So here's the rundown: Satisfied? Yes Return? Yes Advocate? Yes PS-check out the nifty pictures I took! read more

Your over priced burrito's have gotten to a point where I sent it back at lease put the added protein you up charge for into the burrito where you can at least make out what you're eating.

Holy Borracho! I was able to convince my husband to come here for dinner (during rush hour, on a Friday) instead of our usual San Tan Brewery. He is thanking me BTW. We started off with drinks (per usual) I ordered the blackberry house margarita with muddled jalapeño (per my request) and it's a House-made purée because of course I asked.. because it was absolutely delicious. No funky after taste or hint of chemical, it was a fresh margarita and I am impressed. For appetizer, we chose the chicka-rones which is a classic spin on the fried pork skin but instead it's chicken skin fried.... don't wanna know the calorie count on that but trust me, the plate was clean. Every taco was different and we ordered 7 total. My favorite was the AVO.. fried avocado with a crispy cheese taco shell and cucumbers to balance the heaviness of cheese and avocado. Gosh, great food and service. Plotting our return.. read more

I can tell this food is definitely prepared with love from an executive chef with talented hands. The red snapper, pescado burracho, was very fresh. I'm surprised you can get fresh fish in the Valley and it was well prepared. This was prepared like my mom used to make it. 5-stars. This is pan-fried, not deep fried. The white sauce that came with the fish was okay. One thing though when you eat a whole fish, and it's big and I was unable to finish by myself, is that there are small fish bones that you have to sort out and throw away. In American dishes, this is never done but in Mexico and Vietnam, they cook the whole fish and leave the bones in. Maybe a little different way to eat if you are not used to it. The pineapple cilantro margarita was great. Complimentary chips & salsa were good. The pinto beans that came with it was an all-star 5 stars. It made the fish taco so flavorful, like flavor crystals in every bite. You can't eat the pinto beans by itself. You have to put in a soft taco. read more

Nothing great if anything a little disappointed. Been wanting to try it out and was in the area with 2 if my kids. Stopped in and was surprised it was not an order over the counter but instead waited to be seated. Upon being seated we were handed menus (and crayons for the kids). Within the minute our server asked if we would like to get started with waters and some chips n guac. Sure sounds good. Chips n guac Came out quick and was good, wasn't too excited with either salsas. I ordered the carne taco, was a little fatty but lots of meat and flavor! The worst was when the check came and realized that our chips and guac cost more then the 3 meals we ordered. $6 taco $6 taco $5 kids meal $8 chips n guac, make sure people know you charge for chips n guac, especially at that price. read more

They did say it was a whole fish...and they were right. Head included. The fish was deep fried and had all the bones. It was extremely messy, but very tasty. They only gave us 3 tortillas though.

My wife and kids decided to try this new place out yesterday and we are so thankful we did. This placed just recently opened not too long ago and is right next door to the restaurant called High Tide Seafood. (High Tide actually owns this place). Anyways, here's the pros and cons. Pros: Mouth watering, so much flavor in everything we ordered. Flavor, flavor, flavor it was all AMAZING! I ordered the Octopus Taco, Carna Asada Taco, and Fish Taco. They all screamed "flavor". Best tacos I've ever had in my life and I'm not exaggerating! We also ordered the cinnamon twist and they were perfectly cooked, soft, warm and had just enough cinnamon where it wasn't too much. They also have honey if you ask for it. Cons: NONE. If there was any cons, I'd tell you about it as I'm pretty candid. Price: This place is a little on the pricey side but the flavors and deliciousness truly make up for it. WE WILL BE LIFE LONG CUSTOMERS! GREAT FOOD! read more

I have really enjoyed Pescado Borracho. At this point, it's on my monthly rotation. I've had the California tacos, the octopus tacos, the carnitas tacos, and probably one more. They have all been fantastic. The California pops with flavor and its huge. The octopus is tender and full of flavor. Perfectly seasoned. But my favorite dish is the posole. Few restaurants seem to do posole right. Pescado Borracho does it right. Very heart. Lots of hominy and meat with all of the correct sides. Service is friendly. I will continue to come back. read more

Went here today for the first time with my wife for lunch. All I can say is amazing. If you are a coastal Mexico seafood prude like I am, you will love this place. The Chef totally rocks. Tacos are off the chart. Ceviche? Better than Rocky Point Mexico. I mean that. Margaritas? Delicious. Our server, Chloe, was knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. When we can't get to Mexico, we will be going here for our Mexican seafood tacos and Margarita fix from now on. read more

My son and I lived our tacos for lunch today. We had the Californian and I had a Crispy Avo. The pickled cucumbers on the Avo threw me off a bit but it was pretty good, just different. The tacos are stuffed so I can see them being worth the $5/6 cost. The chips were good and warm and I like mild salsa which is what we got. The first round of chips and salsa is free. We ordered the garlic street corn as appetizers. My son didn't lol it. Just saying it was weird. It was just grilled corn with garlic thrown on top. Definitely not worth the $6 price. Cut the portion of the off cob and cut the cost. read more

1st time at Pescado & it was pretty good!

We did order the ceviche & asked for some limes to squeeze into it which made it better it had lots of seafood in it but it was still too saucy. We really liked the red & green salsa & guacamole plus they have Happy Hour on Saturday until 6 & the house $5 margaritas are good. I tried a crispy octopus taco with chorizo & it was very good.

We returned with friends, hoping for a much better experience, but unfortunately, the service was still subpar.

We sat at the long high top table inside and it felt tight especially with people in line right next to us. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd definitely go back to try some other dishes and definitely more birria tacos.

The inside is pretty small with a long bar top that sits four and a table with six chairs. We sat at the bar top and it got pretty crowded as the line was long. It's definitely a very popular place. I'd come back to try some other food they offer.

The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately. I ordered the smoked chicken enchilada as I saw it was a Yelp favorite and it was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home since we all filled up on chips and salsa before our meal. This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups. Even with other people yapping around us, the noise level was perfect to enjoy company. 10/10 would recommend.

But the wife and I were in the mood for Mexican... so in we came. The kids are a little older so were content with doing the dreaded iPad surfing. There are no games like cornhole or anything for them to "play" with. All good. Kid menu was standard fare. I got the Blue Corn Stacked Enchiladas with chicken. So damn good. I literally overate like it was Thanksgiving. Wife is a vegetarian and the menu was a bit slim for her, especially since salad was off-limits due to Cyclospora outbreak - not taking any chances. Got a flight of frozen margaritas - Cucumber, Mango, Blueberry, and Blood Orange. All of them terrific. I would love to come back.

Server apologizes and takes it away... A seemingly long time of picking at our beans passes and finally another sizzling platter arrives. Yay... We can eat now. It's beef and shrimp. Oof. Server apologizes again. Wife orders a medium sized margarita on the rocks. 10-12 mins pass... And finally we get the correct fajitas. (With a brand new setup plate too. Yay) We get the bill... The dang margarita costs the same as the fajitas! $20 for a margarita is too much. If the price was disclosed when we ordered we would have skipped it. Not a good value. Our bill was $45 for one order of fajitas and one margarita. (I drink water) LOL: Table next to us is a dude clearly on a tinder date. She's got three empty $20 margarita glasses. He has one. Hope he scored. Bet his bill was $150!

We tried their chips and salsa, green chile cornbread, potato tacos, egg rolls, pozole, the pasta, shrimp cocktail, the chile rellenos, and the steak. The dishes I would not order again are the potatoes, the churro ice cream. The potatoes were super crispy/dry. The churro ice cream was also crunchy and dry, not what I want for my potato or churros. The pozole taste was good but the consistency is not what you expect from the pozole. Overall it was a good experience.

Food was not even average. Chips and Salsa were excellent. Raspberry Habanero Margarita was tasty but light on alcohol. Carne Asada fajitas were served with mushy onions and peppers. The veggies should be freshly sautéed when ordered and have some bite to them. These were obviously prepared earlier and sat around for hours. Carne Asada was ok but clearly nothing special. Refried beans were average. Mexican rice was very tasty but served in a ramekin. It was a lump of sticky rice. No Individual grains here. Chicken Chimichanga was not hot and crispy on the outside. The queso dip that was smothered on top had congealed and looked like vanilla frosting. It was gross. The filling was tasty after scrapping away the tortilla on the outside but it was mostly rice. The chicken was hard to find. Mexican corn appetizer was old, greasy and swimming in butter. Definitely made earlier in the day and sat around staying warm. Definitely not worth going back and would not recommend. read more

Pescado Borracho is an absolute gem! My wife, our baby, and I decided to try out this new restaurant, and oh boy, were we in for a treat. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with amazing service. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. My wife declared she had one of the best margaritas of her life, while I thoroughly enjoyed my colada. We shared the octopus tacos and the whole fried snapper, and let me tell you, it was love at first bite with those octopus tacos! The fried snapper was perfectly cooked, deliciously juicy, and absolutely mouthwatering. And I can't forget the chips and salsa - the best I've ever had! The chips were fresh, and the salsa had a smoky flavor with just the right amount of heat, making it super addictive. Thank you, Pescado Borracho, for a beautiful experience. We loved it so much that we brought our family back three days later for another dinner! read more

The food was okay. If was a little co fusing at first because our server asked if we wanted chips and salsa and if we didn't her would get us complimentary chips and salsa. I had a friend avacado taco, which didn't has very much flavor. The kids meal was more expensive then my meal. The really good thing about this place was the black beans. Omg they were amazing. read more

Everything was absolutely amazing. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every roll brought something different to the table, and the Family Platter was a fantastic way to try a variety of options.
