Marisco Bella Vista — Restaurant in Phoenix

A unique and definitely authentic experience. The place is large and had a band playing that included a tuba. The service was friendly, but the bartenders did not speak very good English and I do not speak very good Spanish. The garlic fish was generously portioned, well seasoned, and very tasty. The chicken fajitas were solid. Plenty of chicken and they provided numerous homemade tortillas at no charge. The tortillas were light and delicious. Both plates came with buttered rice, a small vegetable salad, and refried beans. The peel and eat shrimp came in a very large portion over a bed of cucumbers. Food was quality. A few negatives. The music was a little too loud, it is a bit pricey, and there was a lot of broken glass in the parking lot. Don’t use the pay on the app feature as the waitress did not think I paid the tab and came outside after us, which was interesting due to the language barrier. She was polite, appreciative, and apologetic when she realized I paid through the app. I would go back. I have never been to a place quite like...

Was on the hunt for some good fried shrimp and rolled the dice on this place. Gorgeous place. Clean, well lit, lots of seating. Nice performance stage and lots of dance floor room. However, the food quality and drink(prices) left something to be desired. My Gal ordered the smoked marlin taco and she said it was good. I ordered the fried shrimp, beans, rice and salad. The breaded fried shrimp were just like any you can get from a grocery store freezer aisle, or bar/grill with a deep fryer. Now if those were big, plump Baja shrimp, hand dipped in a good beer batter, I would definitely pay the $20 it cost. Refried beans were salty and just "soup"; not a physical bean to be found. Rice was just plain 'ol rice. No Mexican flare to it. Dos XX 12oz bottle beers were $5 a pop at what seemed like it should have been happy-hour. Won't be back,...

La comida esta bien 👍.. nada del otro mundo pero bien a secas. Pero la atención al cliente deja mucho que desear.. Pedimos unos ostiones y un aguachile no nos trajo limones con el agua chile, tuvimos que pedirle tostadas o algo para comer porque no nos trajo galletas, ni tostadas y la verdad la mesera cada que se nos acercaba a preguntar si "estábamos bien " ponia una cara de molestia que se podía apreciar a 2 cuadras.. Trabajo en el área de restaurantes también y se lo que es el servicio al cliente.. yo entiendo que a veces se enfada uno cuando esta lleno 🤷 pero el restaurante estaba casi vacío (2 o 3) clientes.. y era temprano. No escusa para andar de mal humor.. La propina se gana de acuerdo a la atención que se brinda no es obligación ( lo siento por ella). Un dólar fue lo más que pude dejar. Y se me hizo mucho por la atención que nos brindo, ya que si ella no tenia ganas de atender, yo no tenia ganas de dejar propina y espero que cambie su actitud.. es su trabajo y para eso le pagan. Si no esta a gusto que busque algo diferente.. lo siento. No suelo hacer malos comentarios pero esta vez creo que se lo gano a pulso. ya que ni yo ni mi compañero nos sentimos a gusto con ese trato y creo que nadie se sentira a gusto asi....( no me estas regalando nada, estoy pagando por...
