Our History

A Legacy of Fresh Seafood in Phoenix

Pescaderia El Puerto De Guaymas, located in the vibrant Phoenix, AZ, has a story as rich and diverse as the sea it draws from. Reach out to us at (602) 278-6699 and discover the legacy of our seafood market. Meet Irayda Flores, a woman whose journey began in the enchanting coastal town of Guaymas, Sonora, the unique place where the desert meets the sea.

From childhood, Irayda was captivated by the sea and its abundant treasures. Guaymas is a magical place, and "El Mar Cortés" (The Sea of Cortés) is famed for its bountiful fish and rare and beautiful pearls. The majestic "El Cerro de Tetakawi" is a significant and mystical landmark, embodying the region's spirit.

Fueled by her passion for the sea and her commitment to community, Irayda founded Pescaderia El Puerto De Guaymas in Phoenix, Arizona. Her dedication and the unwavering support of the local community enabled her to establish the only Hispanic Rotario Group in the country. This non-profit organization tirelessly works to give back to the community and extend help and resources to Irayda's hometown in Guaymas.
