Mariscos Playa Hermosa

Mariscos Playa Hermosa is a seafood focused Mexican resturant. I found this establishment on a few websites stating its one of the best seafood restaurants in Phoenix and bonus points because it was Mexican food considering AZ is known for its Hispanic population (as well as Native Americans) and their food. The restaurant itself reminded me a loy of a typical Mexican restaurant style set up. Nothing fancy but the dishes served and their pricing. It was quite nosey but not to the point you can not hear the individuals youre with. Service was great! Quick, polite and accommodating. However, the food was not that great in my opinion. Our dishes came out room temperature. The calamari was heavily breaded and the sides such as the rice with mixed vegetables and refried beans lacked flavor with every bite. I was not a fan of my dish and the alcoholic beverages were beyond overpriced and tasted like a sugary Pina Colada more than a Margarita. If youre trying to impress someone I could see why you'd come here but at random; not so much. All in all it was a great concept but I'm not a huge fan. I had high hopes.

I went here for lunch with some friends and the food was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was super nice and patient with us as we browsed the menu. We got Verde aguachile and I got filete divorciado which were delicious definitely going to be coming back!

The only thing that would make MPH better is if it was actually right on the beach but what can you do? We tried the La Patrona seafood tower and it did not disappoint! There were two of us but could have easily fed 3 or two adults and two kids. Everything was tasty and the preparation was impressive. We didn’t want to dig into it at first because it looked like a work of art. Our waiter, John, was fantastic and took great care of us. We’ll be back.

Amazing food the taste is consistent. Our host Rafael is very handsome and friendly. Definitely worth the visit for the food and staff. Alot of handsome staff. This place is a must for the music, food and ambiance!!

I’m new in town and I was previously on the hunt for a good seafood restaurant - this is it! Their service is amazing. The food is hands down the best and it’s spicy! We had the hangover cure plate and omg will it set you right. I’m not a fan of slushy or frozen drinks but this place has the best and strongest frozen cocktail from anywhere. The staff is also so kind and attentive. Don’t look or go anywhere for seafood - this is literally it!

Such a superb and soothing experience to have lunch at MPH. I had Duos Equis, Carne Asada, Ceviche & Coctel de Camaron. They felt so fresh, healthy and also value for money. Again thanks 'Rich Salazar' my colleague for bringing me here. I am going to visit again and try something new. Muy Gracias .

Amazing restaurant! People are very kind and helpful! They’re even close to the Phoenix Airport, so easy if you’re looking something to eat in peace.
