Best Mariscos

Mariscos Chihuahua
Three Locations

STAFF PICK: For those who crave the fruits of the sea but can't afford beach-front property, hightail it over to the closest Mariscos Chihuahua, pull up a chair and await transcendence to an environment of gentle sea breezes and salty air. Serving only seafood, Mariscos Chihuahua is locally renown for a killer shrimp cocktail as well as various preparations of snapper and cabrilla. The cocktails always take newcomers back a bit--presented more like a chilled soup than the usual parfait of shrimp and ketchup marinara. But the large, juicy shrimp and the tangy tomato broth peppered with minced onion and herbs will make converts of even the most rigidly iconoclastic. Grabbing a quick bite on the run? Try the delicious ceviche tostada, not suited for behind-the-wheel consumption, but well-worth every telltale drip on your seat cover.

If your appetite demands larger spoils, the South Sixth and East 22nd Street operations offer a notable selection of fish entrees, listed generically as pescado due to their commitment to serve only the best of the season. The Grande Avenue location is a favorite for a quick lunchtime catch.
