Potato tacos combo
Zinnia V.

Where can you get $1.49 fish tacos but here! The tacos were crispy and tasted fresh and delicious with lots of veggies inside! The potato tacos were good but just not as flavorful, I'd stick with the fish tacos. The service is amazing and they really make you feel welcomed. I hope more people come here and check this place out!

I was a little intimidated by all the choices of seafood and Mexican food selection. The place is rather small, but really give you a large serving for fish tacos and are totally fresh and tasty. You really need to hunch over and take in the fish tacos in large bites, as they are fragile and have so much stuffed into the soft taco tortilla that you can loose much of the delicious toppings. I would like to dine in the restaurant, as there are plenty of seats, but since I was alone, I'd rather eat this at home. The fish tacos were ready in about five minutes and the staff were friendly and helpful in explaining the menu to this gringo. Although not a chain restaurant, the cuisine was that of a beach hut somewhere along a Mexican Beach, and so relaxing.

Although the downside is no air conditioning on a hot day when you dine inside, the impeccably fresh and tasty fish tacos more than make up for this! Service is pleasant and the inside is clean. I tried the Fish Taco Combo with rice and beans. Everything tasted from scratch and full of flavor!! Would totally return!

One of the best fish taco deals ever, 1.49 each on Wednesday and Sundays and good amount of delicious fish with free chips and salsa. Doesn't get much better than this. Come check this place out if you haven't yet. Service is amazing as well. Inside is on the smaller end but it is kept clean.

Love this family. Father and son duo. The owner of this taco place came from PEPPERS in Arcadia back in the day. I usually get fish tacos and Menudo on Sunday.. i've actually seen mom making chile rellenos in the back.. everything is always fresh made quickly and orderly. Times are tough out there for people support your local taco spot...

Tasty fish tacos in this quaint spot in the city of Monrovia. Located in a small plaza next to a laundromat and across from another taco stand. This place has friendly, quick service and known for their fish tacos. A great place for a quick meal or snack.

Asada street tacos
Christel S.

Got asada tacos -- a note, price has gone up to $2.49 for street tacos -- and they looked & tasted very fresh and delicious! Salsas served with tacos were watery and could really be improved if they were thicker with more concentrated flavor. Food was served with chips and pico de gallo which was nice and chunky yet also watery somehow, but the flavor was very good with just enough heat (could have been a little spicier for me!). Service was fast and friendly and the place was clean. I'd eat here again!

Baja Mar Fish Taco is a local gem. They offer daily specials of (chicken, fish, shrimp, etc) tacos for $1.29, which are a great value. My favorites are the potatoes, fish and shrimp as I love potatoes and seafood. Excellent portions and quality.

Shrimp burrito
Masis Y.

Overall great quality food the place is run down a little bit But quality of the food is amazing. Huge shopping center parking lot Restrooms aren't to top standards but gets the job done

Menu update
Emad S.

Still as good as the first day I came here in 2009. I haven't been here in 10 years and passing by the area I felt the need to stop by, the team member was extremely friendly, chatty and generous. Gave me free chips and salsa for the wait which was very accommodating. The dining area looked clean and well kept. Overall I think this will keep me coming back whenever I want fish tacos. Thank you

I ordered kids' nuggets but was charged for kids' tenders, which cost more. I also ordered noodles listed on the menu for $4.99, but was charged $10.50. When I questioned it, the manager first claimed nuggets and tenders were the same price, which they are not. Then I was told the noodle price was supposedly "happy hour pricing," even though nothing on the menu or tables mentioned that. The waitress helping us was actually very nice My issue was with management. After making us wait, the manager came over, dropped the check on the table without apologizing, he said nothing and walked away. The charges were never corrected. Before posting this review, I emailed the restaurant twice, contacted them on Instagram, and never received any response. I'm mainly disappointed by the lack of accountability and customer service.

First of all I walked in and they have high top table seating which I love! The waitress greeted me and said I can choose where to sit she brought over the meñus alongside chips and salsa. I noticed they have 7tvs in there and they were broadcasting sports so it might be something to think about for the upcoming fifa games (: I browsed through the meñu and couldn't decide! They serve breakfast chilaquiles breakfast burritos, fajitas, seafood, tacos, cocktails d camaron and of course a Michelada meñu. I went ahead and ordered the shrimp tacos and a agua d piña (pineapple) to drink since I was driving I couldn't order a michi but I'll be back soon to try! Anyways my food got to the table and omg they hook it up with shrimp on top and purple onion and avocado!

The shrimp cocktail and ceviche was super fresh and came with a generous portion size. Probably one of the best ceviches I've ever had. Garlic Shrimp: My dad wasn't too crazy about it. I think he was hoping the shrimps would be bigger. Unsure if he will be ordering in the future. Overall, great place for ceviche and happy hour beers. My only note is that the service was really lacking and inattentive. One of the waitresses was on their phones and standing around throughout her shift. She looked bothered when we flagged her down to ask for and collect the check. Other than the mediocre service, it was a decent experience. Overall, I would ask for take out next time I return.

Boston Lobster is the best Chinese restaurant in the SGV! This restaurant has delicious food,…read morewonderful service, and the ambiance is good. Here are the dishes we ordered: House special lobster with noodles: 5/5 ( the star of this place) Pan fried beef noodles: 5/5 Kung pao chicken: 5/5 Tofu with brown sauce: 5/5 Chow fun noodles: 4/5 Vegetable dishes: 4/5 Fish fillet: 3/5 Pork chop spicy salt: 5/5 Mapo tofu: 4/5 Shrimp with eggs: 4/5 My favorite dish was the house lobster with noodles. It's really why I came here. There was so much meat from the lobster and the noodles were a great addition to the dish. So flavorful and delicious! If you come between 11:30-4:45pm, you can get the lunch special items. The portions were actually huge for the price you're paying. It's available 7 days a week. It's so worth it! I would definitely come back here especially for the delicious food, reasonable prices and exceptional service.

We dined here last night for the first time from a friend's recommendation. The house special crab…read moreand fried calamari were pretty yummy, but not very happy with how our food was handled... One of the dish we ordered was the house special sauce crab with market price of ~$26 per pound. We added the noodles for $10. Normal practice the server should come and advise on the size of our crab before making so we can choose how big the crab we want for our dish, because we're paying by pound for the dish anyway... but within 2 minutes of placing the order, a crab dish arrived... HA! Problem 1: The server originally tried to give the crab dish to the table next to us and the folks refused the dish... then the server turned around and placed the dish onto our table for us. CLEARLY they made a mistake and made the wrong dish for next table and decide to not waste food and gave it to us. We asked if that was really our dish and they said yes... what a lie! The kitchen took 2 mins to cook our dish? haha...dumb! Next table was there before us and their house special lobster noodles arrived 10-15 minutes later. First they made a mistake, then tried to lie to cover it up. No one is stupid here. We would have been ok if they were honest about it and ask if we would accept that dish with no complain here. Problem 2: The table next to us got their plates changed multiple times and NOT once did someone came to check on us about changing plates. Problem 3: Our bill came. They charged our crab as 2.5 pounds. What a joke! I'm a crab person. I know my crabs. That tiny crab is probably around 1.5 pounds - 2 pounds max. (Check out the picture to see the small crab shell and the tiny pieces of the crab legs and meat pieces on the edge of the plate). The $10 they charged for noodles was a huge portion, but that is not the same value as 1 pound of crab that they overcharged us for the dish. The house special crab was pretty tasty and we like the fried calamari. The veggie was decent and soup was pretty weak... our bill was $150 and I tipped $20 for the experience. Be grateful and work on improving your practice

I ordered the Mac n' chowder, and it was a perfect mixture of clam chowder and Mac n cheese in a bread bowl. It was definitely a unique dish! The rest of my party ordered the traditional pan roast with assorted seafood, and after tasting it, I wished I had more room in my stomach! While I don't eat oysters, everyone else did and I heard nothing but good things. They even ordered another dozen (for a total of 3 dozen)! Service was fantastic. We were also able to call and get our names down for a reservation, which I'm glad we did since it started getting very crowded with a long wait during dinner time. There's plenty of parking in the lot and below ground parking structure. I would 100% come back here again and recommend it to others!

As fate would have it, I ate here with my parents instead of the originally intended dinner…read moredestination, Baek Jeong. Because the wait time was too long for that, we decided to try The Dive Oyster Bar -- and man are we sure glad we did. We got a total of five items: a bowl of clam chowder, the soft shell crab appetizer, the roasta, the traditional pan roast with the house speciality protein (with the crab on the side because of my dad's crab allergy), and the jambalaya, which for the last three we ate with medium heat. We shared everything (except for the crab appetizer because, again, crab allergy for dad) and found the food to be delicious, with each entree coming out tasting better than the last. Personally, the roasta was my favorite with the pan roast as a close second. Very flavorful dishes with medium heat being a good level for us (wasn't spicy for our Korean palates). Service was great, our server (unfortunately forgot his name) was attentive and quick with our requests, and although he forgot a side of rice, it was for the best as the food had settled in our stomachs by then and we were content with what we ordered. The restaurant itself is well maintained with ample table space and appropriate lighting, though the music from the evening DJ was a tad bit too loud to hear from across the table. Not a big mood killer for us, though mostly because the good was that good. We're not from this area, so the odds of coming here again are relatively slim -- but should the opportunity present itself, it'll be more than fate this time to take us through these doors once again.

The side of salad helped me feel better about eating healthy too and was a nice textural break from the crab roll. Overall, the crab roll tastes relatively similar to what I had at Lobster and Beer.
