Mariscos Los Corchos

"Renowned for pescado zarandeado, a favorite of Bill Esparza." - Eater Staff

"Chef Anthony Plascencia operates Mariscos Los Corchos from his home in Riverside, specializing in Nayarit-style seafood, particularly noted for its exceptional pescado zarandeado." - Bill Esparza

"It’s well worth the drive to Rialto for one the most exciting Mexican seafood dining experiences that showcases pescado zarandeado estilo Playa Los Corchos, a locals-only beach in Nayarit with its own cooking traditions. Chef Anthony Placencia, working alongside his Nayarit-born mother, Maria Carrillo, and other family members, has recreated a one-of-a-kind tacos de pescado zarandeado recipe served on folding tables in the family’s backyard. Plascencia’s pescado zarandeado is marinated in an adobo and then cooked tender, revealing the natural flavors of mesquite-grilled sea bream, snook, or Barramundi. The package includes tacos de frijól, an assortment of salsas, handmade corn tortillas — plus sliced red onion, cucumber, and limes to garnish the tacos. Order pescado zarandeado “estilo Los Corchos” for an add-on of octopus and shrimp zarandeado which gives the meal a true taste of Playa Los Corchos." - Bill Esparza

"Mariscos Los Corchos is a Mexican seafood restaurant located in a Rialto backyard, opened by Anthony Plascencia in September 2022. The restaurant serves Nayarit-style pescado zarandeado, ceviches, and tamales de camarón. Anthony Plascencia, inspired by his childhood memories in Playa Los Corchos, learned the traditional methods at Ramada El Torruco and brought them to California. The restaurant offers dishes such as chicharrón de pescado, caldo de camarón, and the 'Estilo Los Corchos' special with shell-on shrimp and octopus. The venue provides a family-oriented dining experience, with handpicked ingredients from Mexico and locally sourced seafood, creating a blend of traditional and modern Mexican seafood cuisine." - Bill Esparza
