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

We loved this place! The food was fantastic. The portions were large. The tacos were in medium sized tacos. 1 filled me up. The salsa was incredible. I had the halibut taco and it was amazing. The service was also great. We were greeted right away and had several people checking to see if we needed anything or if our food was good. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent, excellent Mexican seafood menu, great service and a large selection of custom Margaritas! Music was Mexican rap"??, but otherwise congenial and pleasant inside. read more

From other reviews they say the food is good, but it was cold so I couldn't tell for sure. I ordered online. It said be there in 1 hour. I show up 55 minutes later. My food was cold. It had been sitting for at least 20-30 minutes. If you order to-go, drive there and do that. They won't text and tell you your food is done 30 minutes early. If you guys are going to do the online ordering, pay attention. It's not cheap food. We had to come home and deconstruct what we could to microwave and not completely destroy what may have been good food. It was a complete waste of money. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at this restaurant in Gilbert, Arizona during a trip to see our daughter. The restaurant is located in an established strip mall with ample parking. The menu has creative mexican food choices such ceviche served in a bowl with tomatillo sauce (delicious- see photo). They have a large variety of tacos, including fish, shrimp and pork. The service is what truly makes this restaurant a standout. Nathan was our server and was excellent. While we were there, a lady stopped by our table and thanked us for dining there ( am assuming she is an owner) . We dine out a lot, and that rarely happens- but when it does, I am always impressed. Prices are very reasonable, and the entire restaurant is very clean (including the bathroom). There is also a bar with seating. They even have free wifi ( see photo) Be sure and check out this awesome restaurant! read more

Good experience for a first-timer. Bartender was friendly. Grilled fish and ahi tacos were decent; however, when tacos are $10 a piece, the bill adds up very quickly, so don't think you're getting out of there on the cheap. read more

Pescado Borracho is a great culinary experience. From the full bar and exceptional Margaritas to the great options in appetizers, Tacos and varied lates of stews and meats it is all exciting, daring and flavorful. Never a disappointing ! We love it all...servers and service are exceptional and add to to e experience. Thank you! read more

Very good food! We stopped in twice now and both times our meals were delicious. We struggle to find good Mexican restaurants in the area and this is one is high on our list Didn't really care for their red salsa, but the green one is very good. The chips are crisp and not greasy. Definitely worth a try! read more

Food was good. Limited menu but everything was tasty ... Service was very good as well. Clean restaurant open space. read more

Food was delicious I love it and it was good and taste and I loved the tacos and thank you

So disappointing the food came out cold. I sent it back and it took forever to be remade so we left.This place use to have great food but I'm not sure what happened. read more

A nice, clean, and appealing restaurant. We started with the chips, dips and Guacamole. It came with a huge amount the Guacamole! As the main meal, I ordered the chicken enchiladas with sweet beans. It was Delicious! Good background music in my opinion- ie :The Eagles, Rolling Stones, etc. It's such a pleasant change from hearing today's pop music blaring. Our server (Tori) was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. Would definitely come here again. read more

This is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Gilbert. Daily happy hour specials from 3-6pm. You can get a baja fish taco, carnitas, or pollo asada taco for $3.50/each all day on Tuesday and Thursday. The tacos are appropriately sized for the price. My favorite is the fish taco, hands down. If you prefer low carb, ask for your tacos to be cabbage wrapped. I'm also a fan of chicka-rones (chicken skin) and queso, $4 during happy hour! They are made to order so they take a while to arrive at the table. But when they do, they are piping hot! They have great margaritas and flavors are including without additional charge, $4 on Monday or $5 during happy hour! You'll also find wonderful beer specials as well. First batch of chips and salsa is complementary. read more

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

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

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

All the previous reviews are true! Came for lunch with my wife and we had drinks and tacos. She had the Baja fish taco and crispy AVO! I had the crispy octopus and grilled shrimp tacos! All were winners! She had the House margarita and i had the mechilada! Both were fantastic. The place has a cool vibe and our server Hannah and bartender Lauren were awesome as well! Highly recommend this place! It should be here for a long time! The local owners get it and have brought another great dining experience to Gilbert! read more

Husband and I went after work on a weekday, not too busy. Service was excellent!! If you like blackberries get the margarita, YUM. $6.50 for a taco?? really?? so I got the grilled chicken and the fish taco, they were huge, could not finish either, next time I will just get one, so I guess $6.50 is a good price for dinner. Both delish, my preference was the fish YUM. My husband had the chicken enchiladas, there were three ooy gooy YUM YUM along with a mex rice with roasted corn and pinto beans, beans had so much flavor YUM. In final review YUM read more

Our first time today and we were so impressed. From the knowledgeable and friendly staff to the extremely well made drinks and the amazingly delicious food. We sat at the bar (our happy choice always when available), our bartender was awesome and versed us on the menu. Everything we had from the chips and salsa to their fabulous tacos was very fresh and delicious. Will definitely return, most likely this week! read more

Food was amazing, had the octopus and shrimp cocktail. Food tasted fresh and the drinks too. The restaurant was so family friendly too unlike the rest of the overcrowded places in Gilbert. read more

From the owners of High Tide comes a hip new Taco and Tequila Bar. The ambiance of the restaurant is incredibly modern which incites the vibrant experience I would expect out of a Tequila Bar. The food is incredibly fresh and unique. My Wife and I shared the aguachile (similar to a ceviche) which was the best we've had. The tomatillo salsa was out of this world and had a sweet a tangy flavor. The taco shells were delicate and flavorful and the enchiladas were accompanied by a zesty lime sauce. In all the flavor of the food was delightful. Our server Savannah was on her A game. We always had refills on drinks and she was quick to recommend her favorite items on the menu. The bussers were attentive and kept our waters filled and our tables cleared of dirty dishes. The entire experience was one that I can't wait to relive. Next time I hope to leave a little more borracho myself :) 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

The food is amazing and they have some of the best tacos I've ever had. My wife loves their green chili cheese burger tacos and I always get grilled shrimp and grilled octopus. Corn off the Cobb with garlic butter is delicious as well. read more

Went on a Friday night with wife and daughter. We were seated right away. For app we got corn which was great. Daughter got mac & cheese with fries. Wife and I shared the "Pescado Borracho". 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. We would go back, but not order that 'thing' again. Atmosphere and service were good and again, the food was tasty. read more

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

Pescado Borracho - Inside - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

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

I grew up in San Diego and have lived in Arizona for 34 years. I have not, until now found even a halfway decent fish taco here...I can tell you hands down, the best fish tacos in Phoenix are right here!! Good job! read more

It's okay. Food was good but not that great. Drinks are over priced. Wasn't impressed. Probably won't be back.

This is one of our favorite places to go eat. The margaritas and guacamole are exceptional. We have worked our way through the tacos and have yet to find something that wasn't delicious. We've brought friends and family to this restaurant and they also love it! 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

Pescado Borracho - Delicious is an understatement - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

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

The food tastes good but omg the price for what you get is unbelievable! $20 for nachos with protein and there was hardly any meat or toppings, also ordered the short rib stew same experience. Save your money go to Filiberto 's in the same parking lot read more

The bar tender ended up waiting on us for food and it was the worst service we've ever received. The bus boy waited on us more than he did - so we gave the tip to the bus boy. read more

Best tacos In Arizona! My rank of the four tacos we had: 1. Octopus taco - seriously! 2. Avo taco 3. Baja taco 4. Seared ahi tuna taco. I would've loved to try the garlic corn on the cob, but I knew we would be too full. Wish we could take this place back to Utah with us. read more

Pescado Borracho - Octopus taco (my fav!) & Baja fish taco. - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I've been dining here since they opened and have always been a fan. Yes, it's a little spendy for tacos, but they were always larger tacos. Tonight, I took an out of town guest to PB. The tacos were noticeably smaller and disappointing. You charge $7+ for a taco, then serve small, mediocre portions? I get inflation, but you've lost business now. Embarrassing for me. Embarrassing for you. read more
