    Chile Relleno and Chicken Enchilada Combo Platter
    Russ L.

    Chile Relleno and Chicken Enchilada was just average, nothing special. The beans was very good but rice was a bit salty. Salsa was thumbs down . I give 3 since the service was excellent and attentive.

    To much onions horrible shrimp cocktail bland no salt or pepper

    Had a Al pastro burrito very delicious my go to burrito and there tacos are great to if u ask for carne asada they give u guacamole but I love the Al pastro it's delicious the beans are excellent.

    Carnitas! Tacos and Burrito. Homemade salsas and horchata.

    So-So Good!!! Sabrosisima!!! You'll love it! We had carnitas! Best in town! On top of that, the owner has THE BEST customer service and hospitality. Buenísimo!! Gracias

    Carnitas Sope and beef enchilada with the typical red rice and beans. This was cold
    Serg L.

    Underwhelming at best. The food was cold and not much flavored. Elder lady who "greeted" us was not To friendly. But Lady who attended us was nice. Has potential to be good I think

    Birria de Chivo

    There certainly isn't a lack of Mexican foods in the area and as the competition increases the bar is set higher each time. Carnitas El Indio is definitely one that is authentic and above the bar.This unpretentious homestyle restaurant underwent a facelift since the last time I was here; a much needed renovation. Still the place is simple, choosing rather to concentrate on good food - and good food it is! The helpful server helped me navigate between the two options for Birria de Chivo - the plate or the bowl of soup. She suggested the plate which came with a small bowl of soup and a couple of tortillas on the side.I had chosen Carnitas El Indio hoping to score a plate of Mojarra Frita for lunch but when I saw Chivo, one of my favs, I knew I had to abandon my original plans. The Birria de Chivo was all that! Flavorful tender cubes of goat lounging in sauce like a sea otter in the ocean on a sunny Pacific day. Come here if you want good food without the glitz nor the incessant chatter of hipsters. Next time? Mojarra Frita or maybe Barbacoa Plate.

    We tried the birria and nachos, very good Handmade thick corn tortillas were awesome

    This place is an absolute local gem. Everytime I go it always hits. The fish is fresh, the portions…read moreare big, and the service is quick and easy. The ambiance is nice. Seating is first come first serve. You order at the front and then they give you a number. I ordered the salmon tacos this time around. The best part is that the place is so affordable. Good food, affordable prices, and fresh food.

    I don't exaggerate when I say this, but their menu is extensive. It's like going to the optometrist…read moreand reading off the eye chart. Just from the "From the Grill" section, there are tens of thousands of combinations you can make. So can BlueSalt do all this while maintaining quality? I'm happy to say yes! We were looking for a "late night" dinner spot (in Torrance, late night just means past 8 pm), and this place caught our eye. We came near closing, so it was quiet, almost peaceful, but the servers are accomodating and quick. The ceviche was only $7 and came with sizable portions; one of the best deals I've found in a long time. The branzino and rockfish were well seasoned; there are provided seasonings ans hot sauces if it isn't to taste. I got the peri peri spice rub and the spice level was very manageable. The sides were delicious too. The standout for me were the chickpeas: they paired super well with the savory, tomatoey broth. Only critiques are that I wish the potatoes were crispier, and my plate was served with a very wet, soggy napkin. Not such where it came from, but it started disintegrating into my corn. In the end, a solid option to satisfy any seafood cravings. Thanks for having us so close to closing!

    After going to an "alternative taco joint" nearby on Taco Tuesday because this place was…read moretemporarily closed, I've learned to appreciate how good FishBonz's food truly is! Even after having fish tacos at a popular spot in Carlsbad, Jalisco Cantina, way south of here yesterday... I was compelled to write this about Fishbonz and how I truly enjoy having their salmon taco (rockin' shrimp too) Tuesday special with brown rice & grilled zucchini (corn & beans are great too)! Yes, it's all about the taste, generous portions (dependent on tip amount? It could be!=o), ample parking (including in front of this place) and fast service! Ambience is "tight & fast" but they have "outdoor seating" and a convenient bathroom. The "cheaper version" around the corner, Rubio's..., is 2 tiers lower in terms of taste, food quality, & portions. You truly get what you pay for. Wahoos on Torrance Avenue comes at close second but this Fishbonz serves the best fish tacos & sides... at a most reasonable price! Quality & Quantity at its finest... No need to go anywhere else. This will become your new favorite place!
