Atlanta Has More Than 20 Mexican Seafood Restaurants - Eater Atlanta
"Three and a half years ago, the opportunity came up to expand their food empire, and Zambrano and Ponce decided to focus on seafood. They were both fans of Atlanta seafood institutions like the Atlanta Fish Market in Buckhead, and chose to open Mariscos El Malecón to highlight the coastal dishes Ponce encountered during his time in Mexico. The restaurant doesn’t focus on a specific coastal region of Mexico; its menu spans all three oceans, from the Pacific to the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. There are Nayarit classics like the piña rellena and the huachinango zarandeado, but the menu also features Mexican dishes from the Caribbean, like aguachile, a spicy ceviche." - Muriel Vega
