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

I have been here a couple of times but this time I ordered something that is supposed to be quick, Street Tacos. They are not the best taco at all. It was lacking in flavor and yumminess. read more

We love the owners other restaurant and have been meaning to try Pescado Borracho for quite some time. We chose to go after lunch on a Sunday and when we entered, we were told to sit anywhere we like. we chose a table right in the middle of the restaurant and there were about four other tables with people at it. We sat and sat and sat. There were two servers in a bartender in the restaurant all of which kept going to the other tables and no one acknowledged us. Finally, the hostess took pity on us and brought us water. After sometime, I asked if we were going to have a server and the hostess told us she could take our order. Meanwhile, other people are streaming into the restaurant and servers are walking up to their table and helping them. That is our meal went and at no time did we ever have a server although all the other tables did. I hate to think it's because my husband's in a wheelchair, but it's hard not to think that considering we were the only table that wouldn't even get acknowledged. Needless to say, we will not be back and I would encourage others to not go to a restaurant where they are willing to treat people in this manner. I understand being busy or being shortstaffed, but the fact that we arrived prior to most of the tables in the restaurant and still were never acknowledged is unacceptable . Add that the food is a bit pricey and just average Mexican food and there's no reason to go here. One last tip - I got the spicy raspberry margarita. it is mostly syrup and definitely not spicy at all. read more

We ordered the Whole Red Snapper thinking 2 1/2 lbs would be a lot of food, came out pretty burnt single size rice and beans $2.50 for 3 extra corn tortillas We left hungry and should have sent it back the fish and a large beer cost us $60 without tip really disappointed read more

Ok so after a couple of lackluster meals at the parent company next door we finally decided to try this place after a strong recommendation from friends. What ensued from there was a magical trip down the tastebud express. I being mostly a wine and bourbon drinker don't really like margaritas unless they are REALLY good and well balanced. I often find them too sweet or too sour or too much tequila. A truly great balanced margarita really is an art, an art that Pescado Boracho has mastered. I opted for the Prickly Pear and it was absolutely perfect, all the way down to the much appreciated crushed iced that made this thing taste like I was 10 years old again sipping on an ahem adult slushee. The chips and quacamole and salsa were also just about as near perfection as you can get. A great balance of flavors and depth to each of them. After many years of work travel to California I have grown to love and cherish a really well made Cali Burrito. Over the months and now over year of travel restrictions I have longed for a good one for quite some time. I have been sorely disappointed in finding one locally to appease me. When I saw it on the menu and asked our waitress about it her eyes lit up then her smile said it all. I had to try it. Would it be the one. I have to say the force is strong with this one. A fish taco spot that has the best Cali Burrito I've found in Az thus far? That's quite an accolade. My only criticism is their hot sauce that comes on it does pack a punch. I'll order with that on the side next time to monitor my intake to avoid the ring of fire later. Well done Pescado Boracho. I look forward to coming back soon and exploring more of the menu. Know your Cali Burrito and fish tacos are no longer in their safe place. Get in my belly! read more

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were seated quickly. The waiter Stephan - was quick to take our drinks and appetizers. He made sure to confirm anything he may have missed. Our drinks and apps arrived and we ordered the quest dip. So YUM! Stephan took our food order quickly and offered any help with the menu. The restaurant picked up with patrons and we enjoyed our conversation. By the time we knew it, our dinner arrived and OMG - The tacos were the best! We ordered 2 Baja Fish, Avocado, Shrimp. The food was incredible! We can't wait to try the other tacos. Shoutout to Stephan on his first day who knocked it completely out of the park and was so nice and attentive. The vibe was ok, snowbirds and oldies playing - but the tacos are worth staying for. read more

Great service, attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed our delicious enchilada and churros. Glad we found this spot.

Food was good and didn't take long to get to our table. I really liked their chips and the nacho chip platter was pretty good. Our waiter, gotta hand it to him, he was awesome!! read more

Food was great. I had octopus taco and it was great. The cheese dip was yummy and the oysters were fresh. Service was slightly slow but it seemed they were understaffed when we got there but by the time we left they seemed to be staffed better. Our server was great and she was hustling so no fault to her. read more

Sorry but this is some bad tasting Mexican food and the Margarita is not far behind. I've had well balanced and outstanding Margarita's and know what they should taste like. I make a better one at home. Seriously, someone needs to start tasting and seasoning the food and the drinks! Do better! read more

Arrived around 4:30 on Thurs. Customers were just arriving so we were able to get a good booth and drinks started. The Mrs got the President enchiladas and I got the 3 street tacos dinner. Both included rice and choice of beans, werereasonably priced and were excellent in taste. I had a mini pitcher of Pacifico and the Mrs had a glass of wine which was good but a bit pricey given Happy Hour. The server (bartender - forgot her name) was exceptional. Loved the Reggae music playing. We'll be going back. read more

I'm so glad we tried the fish tacos at Pescado Borracho last week. So good and great service. My husband had the Baja fried tacos and I had grilled. They came with rice or beans - both really good and high quality fish. We'll be back when we're shopping at San Tan. read more

I think the happy hour/taco Tuesday here is a fabulous combination! I ordered the Baja taco and a carnita taco. The Baja fish was lightly crisp and topped with cabbage and lime crema sauce. Yummy! The blackberry margarita was refreshing with the berries blended just slightly. On Tuesday's $3.50 for the tacos each, $4.00 for the margarita on happy hour and with the complimentary tortilla chips, I feel I got a winner of a dinner! read more

I came here awhile back and had a really good experience. However, for the last month I have been CRAVING Pescado Borracho again. Came last Sunday 10 minutes to close (not realizing they closed so early), and I didn't want to be "THAT GUY".....so decided to come back another time. I have been thinking about this place for the past week, and I figured why not today.....it's Taco Tuesday. The second time around, this is HANDS DOWN the best taco restaurant in Gilbert with the BEST service. I got the blackened salmon, braised rib, and the Baja fish tacos. NOTE: PLEASE take my word for it, and pay the extra .50 for the cheese crisp. You'll thank me later. Also, you cannot go wrong with the raspberry habanero margarita! This is one of those places that you wake up dreaming about. Take my word for it, and experience this dream and experience these flavor explosions for yourself. read more

Hello Taco Tuesday! If you are looking for a tasty adventure then you are in for a treat. My wife and I have been here a few times in the past with friends and have enjoyed but this was our first go at it on Taco Tuesday! Now let's get something straight, they do not have a Taco Tuesday special - as they do Taco Thursday's (go figure) but if you are a Tuesday person for Tacos like everywhere else then come between 3-6pm. Here's why: 1) Happy Hour is amazing with frozen margaritas, wine and craft draft beer on special. 32oz Laguniyas IPA for $6!!!! Crazy good happy hour. Happy hour also does $1 off tacos so order during this HH also! 2) the Food is fresh and amazing. On this occasion I had the Octopus Tacos with a flour tortilla / and a Baja fish taco - both were perfect / large (they need to be for $5.50 and $6 respectively) / and filling. Adding chips and guac for like $2 is also a good deal considering your 1sr round of chips and salsa are on the house! BEST PART of all of this is that there were only like 4 couples in the whole place and our party of 3. Why? Guess no one knows how great this HH is and where they should really be vs. every other place that has lines and is super packed with screaming kids and grumpy people who hate fighting for tables and specials on Taco Tuesday.. Come Here - you won't be disappointed! read more

I am so happy to have come across this restaurant in my Yelp search for Mexican food. Had no idea about this place and was very pleased with our experience. Walk in, no reservations on a Saturday night at 7:15 for a party of 3. Good location within Gilbert and wasn't expecting this sit down restaurant with a trendy vibe. Not your standard Mexican food menu still had your classic dishes with a fresh twist. Great service. full bar. Outside patio dining option. read more

The food has declined in quality. Fajitas were dry, tacos sub standard and overpriced. We have been several times and we won't be back.

Absolutely fantastic! It was our first time and we already can't wait to be back! Olivia truly made our experience incredible. As we were walking up, she opened the door for us! You just don't get that level of service anymore. We sat at the bar and she was our server. She went over the menu with so much enthusiasm and gave us fantastic recommendations. The food & margaritas were just outstanding! 10/10 food and experience! read more

This was my husband's and my first visit, and we're so glad we stopped at Pescado Borracho. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive without being interruptive. The restaurant is clean and cheery. Try the various tacos. I ordered two and took home one. This is a small item, but is the mark of a caring restaurant: for my take-home taco, I was given a small box and two containers for my remaining guac and black beans. We were also asked if we wanted to take the chips and salsa. They deserve 5+. read more

This used to be our go to since moving from Chicago, but today was a total disappointment. Our server paxton was tremendous but it started out rough. Wife ordered a michelada drink was good but the shrimp honestly tasted rotten. Then our pazole's came out and were terrible. No taste had to put 8 shakes of salt to give it something. Meat was dry and didn't taste fresh. Son had carne asada and said it was mediocre at best. We all left and felt sick. All this for 100.00. Last time we come here. The consistency in this region is terrible. U did this in chicago you would be closed in a minute. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Definitely get the trio sampler to start with. Everything was amazing! read more

You may wonder, what does Pescado Borracho mean? It means fried tasteless fish. That will be $40 for the answer! We came here with high hopes after dining at the seafood restaurant in the same strip mall and seeing how busy this place was. We made a note to come back and try it out. Food: I had the "last" fried fish they had for the day. Unlucky me. I guess they have two sizes and they are sold at MP. I recall it being about $37. The fish was full of bones, which is fine, if the taste was worth the effort. The fish looked great, but had ZERO flavor. The meat was dry and flavorless. I have had a similar preparation at a Chinese restaurant, for 1/2 the price and 10X the flavor. The rest of the family loaded up on tacos, which are $7-$8 for a taco. Yep, that's the price. Is it worth it? The family said "No". I guess some were pretty good and they are loaded nicely, so the avg diner could probably get away with only two and three for a larger appetite. Issue is that you dont get a platter with tacos, rice, beans, etc: you just get the taco. So it's somewhat of a pricey place. Service: Well we had a reservation. Were seated and then just waited. And waited. And waited. I was actually ready to just get up and leave, but my family is not as impatient as me. Finally asked for a server. I guess there was some communication/miscommunication between staff; but we somehow ended up with a server, with a side of attitude. Never got refills. They forgot to make 2 tacos for my daughter. So she had to wait (we shared). Then finally hers showed up. No excuses, no apologies just a drop-off. Overall: This place is well lit, seems lively and would be a good place to grab a drink and a taco with a friend or a first date. It's no way good for a family to come in and expect good service and good food. There is no way one can classify this as a Mexican restaurant, as they dont do any remotely close to authentic service or food. It's a glam place for someone trying to hard. read more

Cute little spot in Gilbert, definitely worth checking out! We didn't realize that Pescado Borracho was High Tide's sister restaurant but we have been meaning to go there too! Tacos seemed like the perfect option for when we were out though, so we went to this restaurant. Saturday evening & we snuck in (unknowingly) before happy hour ended so that was a nice little perk! First and foremost our sever was great. He was very thorough in explaining all the menu items, answering our questions, and providing prompt service. It was a tough choice but I went with the Baja Fish Taco & Crispy Avo Taco, and my husband went with the Carne Asada Taco & Pollo Asado Taco. I personally enjoyed the Pollo Asado one the most even though it wasn't mine, it had the most distinct flavor. Following closely behind were the Avo Taco & Baja Fish Taco; we agreed that the Carne Asada one is the only one we would skip on next time. Overall a good place to check out, especially during happy hour. They have margaritas on special - I got the mango one & it was really good, along with $1 off all tacos and some starter specials. As I mentioned, it was difficult to pick which taco to go with so we will definitely be back to try others! read more

How do you not visit a place with such a fun name?! My husband and I came to Pescado Borracho and were welcomed by the staff and an ongoing playlist of MJ, Justin Timberlake and Usher. The inside is very modern and clean with bright green and blue colors. The service was very quick and checked on us frequently, and the menu looked very appetizing. There were so many unique taco options, ranging from fried octopus, salmon and tuna to steak, carnitas, etc... many options and lots of variety! Although I wanted to try five different tacos my husband and I decided to share the Pescado Borracho (fried snapper). How can you not?! We also order the PB Street Corn and a side of charred jalapeños. The Pescado was very juicy and flavorful but be prepared, it is the whole fish so watch out for bones! Although it was very good, it is like eating crab or crawfish, a lot of work for little protein. Overall glad I tried it but I think the tacos would have been more of my style. The street corn was delicious, and the habanero butter added nice heat but it was very buttery and thick. I would definitely recommend, just be prepared to consume a heavy amount of butter. We also ordered two cocktails which were good but very sweet. Overall, we enjoyed our time and would like to visit again, it just seemed like what we decided to try wasn't my favorite. Glad I tried but I still want to explore the taco menu!! We'll be back! read more

I love finding delicious food in a strip mall. Small cute place with a great menu. Definitely get the chips and queso to start. And boy, the passion fruit cocktail is a win! We ordered five different tacos between the two of us and had wayyy too much food. Tips: get the octopus. Skip the pickled cucumber on any of the tacos. Way too overpowering. Would come back just for the cocktail! read more

Attended a soft opening last night if this brand new restaurant in Gilbert. Located at Val Vista and Williamsfield next to sister restaurant High Tide Seafood. Same owners as High Tide with the same awesome fresh ingredients dishes. This restaurant is more casual serving a variety of yummy dishes. Just as beautifully decorated as High Tide with warm lime green walls, gorgeous light fixtures and wall decor. Prices are so reasonable for the quality of food. Their chips and salsa to start our dining experience were so tasty. We ordered some appetizers, margaritas, and entree dishes. This new fun and delicious will do amazing in their location. read more

Food was amazing! I had the avocado taco and a fish taco with a cabbage leaf instead of a tortilla. Excellent! I loved the flavors. The pickled cucumber in the avocado taco were perfect. I also indulged in a red sangria which was also excellent. They should put their name on the door. I observed people on two separate occasions come in and then leave because they were looking for High Tide. Excited to go back and try some other things! Delicious! read more

Food is good but not vegetarian friendly. Even the enchilada sauce has chicken broth. I wish they had more vegetarian options. My non-vegetarian friends love the place. read more

A little too saucy for my taste but still good. Service is always friendly and restaurant is always clean.

Not much to rate. Our sever was a great guy and he tried to keep us happy and the chips were good along with the Habanero Salsa I requested but we were waiting 30 minutes and no food. The server told us that our food would be out soon but 15 minutes later, still no food. We had other things going on so had to leave without our entrees. Some of the reviews look good but if I ever return here, which I would like to, I will see what ticket turn times look like. 15 - 20 minutes is acceptable to me so hoping for much better results next time. read more
