Sure, you can order seafood at almost any Mexican restaurant, but it can be questionable to say the least. When you have a hankering for a sea snail tostada, ceviche verde de camaron (shrimp marinated in spicy green sauce), or pescado relleno de jalba con crema (fish fillet stuffed with crab), we recommend Mariscos Ensenada, […]

The second-best part of Mariscos Playa Hermosa is the dining room and patio. The Sinaloan-style Mexican seafood restaurant was established in March 2002 by Jose and Maria Maldonado, both originally from the small colonial town of Guanajuato, Mexico. The scenery of their hometown shows in this beautiful, loudly decorated eatery. Chairs are bright pink and […]
Mariscos Sinaloa does a bang-up job with seafood, from fresh-cut coconuts brimming with chilled shrimp and octopus cocktail, to fabulous fish filets and whole fish prepared a variety of ways, including Veracruz-style (smothered in spicy pepper sauce) and especial del chef (blanketed in rich cream sauce with shrimp and slices of banana pepper). Considering the […]
Another offering from the Mastro’s Group, with the same USDA Prime steak, chops and seafood menu, but a more modern decor. Meat portions are huge (33-ounce rib chop) and slathered in sizzling butter. Everything is à la carte, with one-pound baked potatoes and vats of creamed corn swimming in half-and-half. It’s not healthful, but it […]
High style, high prices. Ocean does for seafood what Ruth’s Chris has done for steaks. Everything is à la carte and served in big portions from white-jacketed, black-bow-tied servers. First-class fish isn’t entirely different from many other good seafood shops around town (at half the price), but for a place to impress on an expense […]

For those needing a break from the slots or roulette, this glorified kiosk on the floor of the Talking Stick casino churns out some surprisingly tasty seafood dishes. Grab one of the 19 available seats and watch the cooks prepare your seafood Creole, Louisiana gumbo, and Cajun-style boils in just minutes as you sip on […]
Phoenix Palace is a sea of eager faces, busy chopsticks, and whirling lazy susans bearing a smorgasbord of dumplings, meats, buns, and cakes. Located in the same Chandler plaza as Lee Lee Oriental Supermarket, the restaurant serves a full menu of both Mandarin and Cantonese cuisine, but it’s dim sum that brings us back again […]
This tiny, airport-adjacent Mexican restaurant offers solid, inexpensive, and fresh food choices-although most everyone comes here for the tortillas, light and fluffy and flour-y good! We like that we get one as a side with combinations that feature tasty chile rellenos, beef or chicken tacos, and cheese enchiladas that are out of this world. Sides […]

This is a true restaurant designed from the ground up to offer the East Valley community a place to eat, drink and relax. The Brew prides itself on providing an exceptional dining experience, and a dinner menu featuring bold entrées that are satisfying and bursting with flavor. An extensive selection of bottled and draft micro-brews […]
CenPho favorite Richardson’s of New Mexico burned down in a fire in 2010 and was finally resurrected in early 2012 with the same menu. The new location is alongside sister restaurant Rokerij, which is similar but with smaller plates. As the name implies, Richardson’s is a purely Southwestern affair, but that doesn’t mean it’s rundown […]
Choosing what to order is the most difficult part of dining at Rita’s. From ocean-fresh seafood cocktails and mole to fish tacos and traditional burros, every dish is a winner. Rita has been wowing us with her family’s recipes for more than 15 years and recently expanded in order to serve more of her hungry […]
The front door of this south Scottsdale seafood staple looks like it leads to a golf pro shop. In fact, it will send you down a staircase, at the bottom of which you’ll find an exceptionally classic dining experience. Salt Cellar Restaurant has been around since 1971, and its staying power stems, in part, from […]

You’ll feel transported to the Sonoran seaside when you visit this cheerful spot. The menu offers nothing but expertly prepared Sea of Cortez-style seafood. We’d be surprised if the Seven Seas cocktail, fish stews, and garlic shrimp didn’t have you docking at this bay regularly.
San Diego Bay Restaurant is all about seafood, whether it’s tostadas stacked with octopus, calamari, and shrimp, or marlin tacos. Walls decked with shark jaws and plastic fish create a family-friendly environment.
A place to see and be seen, and suck down some topnotch sushi while doing so. This glitzy palace is packed with fine young professionals crowding a hip watering hole, but the chefs take their mission seriously. The concept is split into three themes: teppanyaki, Pacific Rim and sushi. With a special chef for each […]
