    I asked for a bigger size.  The cashier said there's only one size.

    $3.60 plus tax for soda. And the cashier was mean to me because I am an Asian? The food wasn't really good the rice kind of hard to chew.

    Went for lunch. Always looking forward for the fish. The portion size seems to be smaller. Also the fries was given in a smaller bowl. The plate was flat I particularly did not like it as it was hard to eat from, I wonder if the owner tried it them self.Also the fish portion seems smal. The bowl we got was good. Salon was good

    We come to California Fish Grill whenever we want to eat out but also eat something simple but fast. The staff here have been relatively professional and are responsive when asked for anything. As people who don't eat too much, the portions are relatively large and one order of the swai with a shrimp skewer and sides of rice and rosemary zucchini are enough for me and my dad to split. The food is pretty consistent (though it can be a little bit oil forward), so we leave content most every time. We also stepped out of our comfort zone last time and got the fish and chips and the parmesan string beans and found them to be pretty good. The seating is pretty comfortable and there's plenty of parking out front.

    Our new favorite local seafood place with a casual flare! This week we had fish & chips, their new shrimp & avocado salad, fish tacos and clam chowder to warm our tummies. The place is casual but with the great service they have it makes you feel like you're at a higher end place. They are always so friendly and helpful.

    Had to try the new Lobster Nachos. OMG! So delicious, plate could serve 4 but I was by myself. I thought it was going to be too much, but I tore it up, it was that good....

    10/11/2025 6PM Wife and I came ordered and had a small mistake on our order from the kiosk and immediately got the manager attention and helped assist with options that was very kind and generous! Staff were great and attentive and food came out quick with quality. Shout out to the staff at this time and date stamp. Also the ambience was very clean and not so loud.

    I really enjoy coming here to feel like I am eating healthy. Excellent customer service. Clean environment and someone is always cleaning when a customer leaves. Seating available outside and inside. There is heaters outside and umbrellas for those sunny days.

    I've been going to California Fish Grill before it was franchised all over at their Irvine location. The menu was much simpler then, so I was worried about the experience being worse. Overall it wasn't. Even though it feels more like a factory now, the food is pretty close to what it was. I preferred the zuchinni strips, but they standardized it into smaller zuchinni pieces. One criticism is that the menu seems too big and cluttered now. Which makes it more difficult to order. This location also has limited seating. Recommendations. The Swai still ends up being one of their best options (because some of the other fishes can out a bit overcooked). I still enjoy that they give you lemon and a bunch of salsa/sauce options.

    I'm not from the area and came across this fast casual restaurant on my way from the airport to work. It was a quick, easy, delicious and affordable lunch. If you are not familiar, this is like a Chipotle but with fish and sides. Everything cooked fresh and you choose the cooking style, sauce and sides. I ordered maui maui with sweet thai chili sauce, asparagus (upcharge) and cauliflower rice. It was up quick and I devoured it! It was so good! Loved it! Cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. The dining area was spotless and the employees were helpful. I did ask quite a few questions and they offered a recommendation which I highly appreciated. A bit more than I typically spend on a quick lunch but worth it. I would love to return when I'm back in the area.

    Stopped by after getting work done at the nearby mechanic shop…read more S & M auto electric and I loved the taste of all the food I ate. I had a burrito de al pastor, wife had birria quesadilla taco, consume on the side, all the salsas and chilies, def recommend stopping by. Service was great and ambiance was great.

    I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

Normally I'd do a burrito, but the reel I saw was all about tacos, so I let Instagram take the wheel this time. I ordered chicharron, al pastor, and a sirloin taco. Right off the bat, the sirloin taco was THE best out of all the ones I ordered. Not really a fan of sirloin steaks, but in a taco? Brilliant. Cut/chopped into the perfect size with a good blend of meat and fatty bits and pieces. Really tasty. Chicharron was surprisingly my other favorite since I never really order this, but the night I went was all about trying something new and I'm glad I did. A bit messy, but good. The al pastor was just okay which, again, is surprising since I love al pastor. Salsas were fine, nothing to wow over but still good. I had a great meal here. The meats and tortillas were all very fresh. And HOT. I just remembered as I'm typing this how hot everything was. Taco prices are definitely a bit steep, but the good news is that the taste and quality can (sorta) justify the price. Next time around I will be getting a burrito, but with sirloin instead of my usual al pastor.

We went during an off time so peak times I would expect a wait. We really blew our diets but it was worth it. We shared a small order of fries topped with chorizo, chipotle mayo, crumbled cheese, and raw jalapeno. It was soooo good and the small order was perfect for two without ruining your appetite. For my entree I had the Navajo taco which was a giant fry bread topped with red chile beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and chipotle aioli. This was a true masterpiece of flavors. The fry bread was like a savory funnel cake flavor. Crunchy exterior and fluffy cloud like interior. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. My wife had hers with ground beef, potato, and green chile. They had a lot of different protein choices. Should have stopped at this point but they had a pumpkin pie filling stuffed sopapilla. It was made to order so it took awhile and came out steaming hot. It was served with two scoops of ice cream so it's perfect for sharing. It was pure heaven and we devoured it. Service was great but these ladies were doing everything. Taking orders, cleaning tables, packing up orders, putting final touches on foods, washing dishes. It was crazy yet they always kept a smile on their faces through the chaos. My wife and I cannot wait to try more items on the menu! Worth the drive!

I stopped in right at opening on a Saturday morning to take some pictures, so don't let the empty dining room in the photos fool you. Give it a little time and the place definitely fills up. They offer both indoor dining and a nice patio, and seating is casual--just find a spot and make yourself comfortable. Large TVs in both dining areas make it a good place to catch a game while enjoying your meal. Another big plus is the value. Between their daily specials, lunch specials, and happy hour combos, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a great meal without spending a fortune. Good food will get you through the door, but consistency and great service are what keep you coming back. Mi Burrito delivers on all three.
