Mariscos El Submarino

Alonso Guzman missed the seafood he grew up eating in Sinaloa, Mexico, a coastal stretch in the northern part of the country. Unable to find a suitable dupe, he and his wife Amy Hernandez opened their own. Now with three locations across Queens, Brooklyn and Jersey with more to break the surface in 2025, Mariscos El Submarino's ceviches and seafood tostadas have drawn a huge following. So much so, their massive molcajetes have become a favorite to then critic Pete Wells of The New York Times, who called out the restaurant as one of the very best in New York, two years in a row.
