MARISCOS AZTECA – Mexican
Mariscos Azteca sits in Grand Slam Plaza on North Tuttle Avenue, across from Ed Smith Stadium, and it is family-owned and run. Seafood is the headline: ceviche, shrimp tacos, grilled mahi mahi and seafood fajitas, cooked with the bold, citrus-forward flavours of the Mexican coast. The rest of the menu holds the line on the classics - carne asada, chiles rellenos, carnitas, burritos, nachos. The room is bright and cheerful, the service quick and warm, and it works equally for a weekday lunch or a slow dinner. Closed Wednesdays, so plan accordingly.
