"We didn’t think we could love Mariscos El Submarino more, but then the Greenpoint outpost of this beloved Mexican seafood mini-chain from Jackson Heights came around. The roomy covered patio here is the perfect setting to enjoy the aguachile verde, with plenty of cold beer to wash it down." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
"We love all the seafood at this restaurant in Jackson Heights, but a meal here is incomplete without an order of Submarino ceviche. This massive bowl of jalapeño-covered prawns, fresh white fish, and tender octopus will mentally transport you to a chill beachside seafood shack in Puerto Escondido, when in fact you’re in a space that has the look of a fluorescent lunch counter with cartoons on the walls. (There's now a second, more grown-up looking location in Greenpoint.) Once you try their aguachile negro, made with a blend of charred green and red chiles, you won’t know or care where you are at all." - willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah

"This small storefront with a yellow mustached submarine for a mascot rolled into Jackson Heights in 2020, changing the game where Mexican seafood is concerned. The aguachiles — fiery baths of shrimp, fish, and octopus — are unrivaled. They come served in a molcajete, the volcano-stone vessels traditionally used to grind spices and make guacamole, with enough seafood to share. Try the aguachile negro, which is spicy as hell and seasoned with Maggi. There’s a second location in Greenpoint (which was formerly its sit-down restaurant Mystica née Mitica), with three more to come in Clinton Hill, Park Slope, and New Jersey." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This fast-casual Roosevelt Avenue slip specializes in Mexican ceviches presented in several guises, many originating in Sinaloa. Order at the counter from selections like an aguachile verde, a tostada with limey fish mounted on a tortilla; or ceviche, featuring shrimp, fish, octopus, or crab. Wash it down with fresh-fruit beverages and slushies. There’s also now a second location in Greenpoint — with a backyard — and a third location is on the way." - Robert Sietsema
