Marisco Boys: team behind Taco Boy’s opens a new seafood restaurant in Phoenix

The Cornejo and Sodhi family who founded Taco Boy’s have cooked up another concept. Say hello to ‘Marisco Boys Seafood Restaurant!’

“We’re just basically trying to give you guys great quality sustainable seafood, but with that authentic Mexican taste that we grew up [with] in northern Mexico,” said Juan Francisco Cornejo, business partner of the concepts, to ABC15.

The restaurant will pay a nostalgic nod to the roots of the Cornejo family from the city of Obregón, in Sonora, México.

“We used to go to the beaches and stuff like that when we were little kids, and we used to just get oysters chucked at us from the boats. And you can just eat fish right there that were being gutted as they were being pulled out of the ocean. And it’s just stuff like that. It’s very fresh. And the quality of seafood is very elevated,” reminisced Cornejo, who then added that guests at the restaurant will be seeing Chiltepín [small berry-like chiles] and Clamato on the menu.
