Mariscos el molcajete — Restaurant in Peoria

Let me start off by saying this place is a hidden gem I never knew existed! The ceviche is really good. The shrimp enchiladas was popping with a nice green chili cheesy flavor that just melted in your mouth! And the deep fried fish was on point! If you can’t tell by the picture, the serving dish the fish came out on is the same serving dish you can throw a whole turkey on.. it’s big, serves roughly 4 people. The bacon chili peppers with cheese and shrimp inside are amazing! The lemonade is fresh, soda comes in a can or bottle, so no refills But that’s okay. The style is not your typical Sinaloa style you can find here in the Valley, it’s Nayarit as the owner mentioned with pride. The location is great, prices are what they are and I’m not complaining..you can get mariscos without having to cross over into the hood. I definitely will be back for another meal! And if you have a problem paying $1.50 to use your debit Card, well don’t be one of them ppl and complain, just bring cash with you.....

The plate of Tacos de Camaron (fried shrimp) rice & beans are really good. I loved it! The 6 piece Ostiones Regulares (Regular Oysters) were really fresh & I loved them as well What I was a little sad & disappointed in was the Coctail de Mocaljete I ordered. I think fresh lime was used in the base of the sauce or the making of it and maybe one of the limes was past the date and it had a bad underlying bitter taste. Edible but noticable. I had to add more fresh lime to try and doctor it up. Also I think it was the Conch sea snail that was too chewy. I ended up removing them. I think it could of done without them or they needed to be softened up to be more edible. I didn't say anything because other than that the food and service was pretty good. Just 1 waitress waiting on everyone so she did a good job. I wish there were fountain refillable drinks instead of the cans of soda, but I would say I would definitely come back and try something else...just maybe not...

This is our go to mariscos(Mexican seafood) spot! My family and I have been here at least 10 times over the years and every single time it’s as delicious as the first. Other marisco spots don’t amount to this place…at all. We’ve had everything from the cold to the hot dishes. The aguachiles, camarones cucaracha, caldo de camarón, caldo de pescado, camarones momia, botana de mango, rice and beans,birria, ceviche among other things, cooked & seasoned perfect! The customer service and the staff are amazing as well and remember their customers. Go, you...
