Crashing Waves

This beautiful mural is as close to the sea as I am ever going to get living in land locked Arizona. It is on the side of an east side Tucson restautant .

Before there was a Mariscos Chihuahua, there was only Mariscos. In 1971 a small stand opened in Nogales, Mexico selling Mariscos (Seafood). The stand opened next to a well known fruit stand "Fruteria Chihuahua".

People from all over Nogales would shop at this famous fruit stand and soon started buying their ceviche, cocktails, and other Mariscos at the stand next door.

When the word started to spread about this little Mariscos stand and it's amazing recipes, people would refer to it as "the Mariscos next to the Chihuahua", and that is where Mariscos Chihuahua came to be.

Once the stand grew into a full size restaurant the name Mariscos Chihuahua followed. The family grew, as did the recipes, and the restaurants are now located in several Arizona cities.
