    Caesar salad
    Taba L.

    I ordered the sea bass meal with a Caesar salad from California Fish Grill, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The entrée itself was fine, but the salad was unacceptable. While eating, I found a piece of lettuce with a dark, foreign-looking spot embedded in it, something that should never make it into a customer's food. A Caesar salad is supposed to be fresh, crisp, and clean. Instead, this one showed a clear lack of attention and quality control. It made me question the handling and preparation of the entire meal. When I'm paying for a fresh salad, I expect exactly that not contaminated produce. California Fish Grill needs to tighten up their food inspection and preparation standards immediately. This experience was not reflective of the quality they advertise, and it left me with serious concerns about ordering from this location again.

    Tried one of the newer lobster menu items this time. Lobster roll small but tasty; bread toasted nicely and the melted butter to drizzle over it was nice. Their clam chowder is hearty, not too thick, delicious! The cajun shrimp taco had a kick even without the sauce.. The fried fish was just ok. Avocado and something more acidic would have helped. Salmon taco was pretty good, loved the dynamite sauce. Avoided the cilantro and tomatoes with all the parasite fear going on right now. The tortillas are a little thick, but flavorful. The menu has so many options- most of what we've tried has been quality fish and tasty. The staff is ALWAYS very kind, efficient and helpful!

    I used to go to California Fish Grill all the time especially the one in Gardena. I recently visited the Lakewood location and I really enjoyed the kiosk ordering. There was a line, but it helped move things along smoothly. Kiosk were very simple and easy to use. The bathrooms and restaurant dining area were very clean and the workers seem to be very busy keeping it that way. I ordered the salmon bowl and they were very generous with their servings, and it was loaded with flavor The workers ask you if you want salsa. I remember they used to have an area where you self serve, but they don't do that anymore. You have to ask for lemon and salsa at this location. The food is generally good and a healthy fast food option. Prices are reasonable!

    I love this restaurant chain. Food is so delicious. Healthy and absolutely flavorful. I come here when I want to eat clean. I love the fish dishes mostly . But the tacos are also good. I highly recommend it. Service is a bit slow though so that needs to be better.

    A hard worker

    Savanah and josh were so helpful! there service was amazing they were so helpful! My legs aren't the best so they didn't mind bringing my food to the table and were really nice about it. on top of everything food was amazing !!

    Cajun shrimp taco, battered fish taco

    I was in the area and have heard good things about California Fish Grill & decided to give them a try. Fast and friendly service, came for the taco Tuesday special. I got two tacos, one battered fish and the other a Cajun shrimp. Seasoned to perfection, tender and delicious. Definitely worth the stop! Don't forget to ask for lemon slices & salsa! The Green salsa was my favorite along with their tartar sauce!

    CAJUN SHRIMP TACO COMBO

    First time at the California Fish Grill location, and probably will not be my last! Inside was spacious and busy in the later afternoon. The line moved quickly, orders are taken at a kiosk. There was a worker standing nearby to help if needed, which was nice. The kiosk was easy to navigate, and their menu is pretty expansive with different fish options, as well as shrimp and even lobster! They even have chicken options for the non seafood lovers. I chose the Cajun shrimp taco combo with a side of zucchini and tomato/feta, which also came with a drink, which I felt was a great deal! The shrimps were nice and plump, and I loved the fresh veggies and pickled onions on the tacos. They even offered complimentary sauces, lemons, and cilantro! Will definitely be back to try their other options, possibly the lobster nachos heh!

    Went here for dinner last night. I got shrimp tacos and a swai taco. They were both awesome. Got the shrimp in corn and flour, preferred the flour. Also got a side of Brussels sprouts that were very tasty! My wife got a plate with rice and corn, was very fresh and light. It's a nice setup inside a mini strip mall setting. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Good spot for sure.

    Bulk receipt for concept of time--fantastic timing, great customer service!

    I simply had to post this review because the service provided by Marilyn was absolutely fantastic! Of course, the food and amenities is good by default--healthy eats is hard to come by reasonably in this economy--the portions are perfect, the seafood always tastes fresh and is seasoned well. However, the cherry on top was the top notch efficiency, accomodations, and communication provided by Marilyn. Furthermore, they were on time despite the size of the order (see the receipt to show how big the order was). I was antsy, but because she was communicative and made sure I had everything I needed, coming back was not necessary and nothing was missed!! Cheers to this location and to Marilyn!

    My Mom and I enjoy dining at California Fish Grill in Long Beach, CA. Our favorite fish is their Branzino. Last night, we both had Branzino Dinners, and different sides. The food was prepared perfectly, and was so delicious! And the service is excellent, as always.

    El Sauz is THE late-night munchies spot!…read more I've been coming here for years, and one of the things I love most is that they're open late. I've ordered food here as late as 2:30 AM! They have a sit-down restaurant, a karaoke room, and even a walk-up window outside if you're just looking to grab something quickly. They're known for their tacos and their spicy habanero salsa, which definitely is spicy, be warned. LOL If you're dining inside, the chips and salsa are top-tier. Sooooo good and addicting! My personal favorite is the shrimp quesadillas. They're tiny, but mighty when it comes to flavor! I also like ordering their oysters. So far, they've always been clean, fresh, and hit the spot. They also have Micheladas, both the traditional version made with alcohol and a non-alcoholic version made with mineral water. Both are really good, and I highly recommend giving them a try! And for dessert, the rice pudding is served cold, and it's honestly one of the best I've had. Everyone I've brought here has been happy with their food and their choices, which says a lot because I've brought many friends and family here. As far as parking goes, you can usually find street parking, there's a parking lot, and there's also parking behind the restaurant. I will say the neighborhood is a little sketchy, but if you're local, it's really not a big deal. If you're coming from outside the city and aren't familiar with the area, I'd recommend just dining inside. There's a lot of homeless and liquor store activities across the street. It's usually not a big deal, but again if you're not used to it, you may freak out. Overall, El Sauz is one of my go-to spots for the late-night munchies, post concert, club, bar etc.

    First time to try their taco carne asada,, good flavor i don't know whats their specialty, I'm not…read moresure if i will come back... Service is good.. watch out a lot of homeless standbys asking for $$$ Taco Tuesday special starts at 5pm for a $1 or $1.25 however expect a loooooong line.
