Finding good Mexican-style seafood in Tucson isn't the easiest task.Some restaurants offer seafood dishes, but the focus of most Mexican restaurants is on the burritos and enchiladas.
At El Mezon Del Cobre, the shrimp, fish and scallops are what really count. But the restaurant also offers all of the standard options as well.
On a recent visit to El Mezon Del Cobre, I ordered the Cameron Natural, a delicious seafood dish featuring broiled shrimp in lime juice topped with onions and tomatoes. It was fresh and fantastic, and was only about $13.
If you're looking for an even better deal, head to El Mezon for the lunch specials, everyday from 11-3. Combination plates with just about any menu item you can imagine range from $4.95 to $7.25.
The most popular item on the menu is the Sopa Marinera, a stew made with seven different types of seafood! There is also a great Sopa de Pescada, or fish soup, for the slightly less adventurous.
For a couple, a good choice would be the Pargo Frito, which is a whole large fried fish.
If seafood isn't your thing, don't be deterred! El Mezon offers great traditional Mexican dishes as well. Chicken tacos, fajitas, burros and the like can all be found on the menu.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is special as well. Bright walls accompanied by interesting art and a colorful bar set the scene for a fun night out with friends or a date. On
Friday and Saturday nights, a great mariachi band plays also!El Mezon Del Cobre is a delicious an affordable option for lunch or dinner, and offers fresh seafood selections that are, in my opinion, some of the best in town.
