Mariscos Ensenada

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, […]

Mariscos Las Glorias

Don’t expect your standard fish-stick tacos when you order at Las Glorias — the menu features dozens of options, including chile relleno stuffed with shrimp or fish. Wash it all down with some fresh horchata.

Mariscos Playa Hermosa

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 […]

Market Cafe

Come for the beautiful views, a pleasant 30-foot-tall indoor waterfall, and dependable if not exciting resort fare. The buffet is a bargain at any time, and on the regular menu, simple is best.

Marquee Theatre

Located just north of Tempe Town Lake near the southwest corner of Mill Avenue and Washington Street, the Marquee Theatre is an institution in the Valley’s live music scene. With a capacity of roughly 1,000, it’s just big enough that it is required to separate the underagers from the drinkers, which is great for parents […]

Maryvale Baseball Park

Built in 1998, this park was originally planned to house two spring training teams. There are no fancy-schmancy country club seats, or waiters to bring you drinks. This is the kind of park where people come […]
