We discovered this cheerful little place after running errands in the Valley and cruising Ventura Blvd, looking for a late lunch. The friendly waitress brought us a pitcher of ice water, which was great on a warm day, and a basket of tortilla chips served with a warm, spicy bean dip; a pico de gallo sauce; and a selection of 4-5 bottled hot sauces. We ordered the shrimp enchiladas with green sauce; a Michealada; and three shrimp gobernardo tacos. Everything was fresh, incredibly delicious and with very generous servings! We both took home enough food for another meal! We will definitely return on our next visit to the Valley. Adding it to our lunch list now.. read more

Fun simple Mexican decor. Lots of TV's for futbol. Friendly service The grilled fish tacos were AMAZING! Excellent flavor. The fried calamari was very good. Chips and salsa good. Excellent hot sauce selection. Decent beer selection and they offer frosted mugs if you want one. Not just fish - they also have plenty of steak, chicken and vegan options. Avg price for 2 tacos is $14. Entrees in the $20 - $40 range. This was our first time and we can't wait to come back. 5 stars and recommended! read more

My friends and I were here on a weeknight. During our visit, I observed a woman who appeared to be working at the restaurant kiss three different older male customers on the mouth and then escort them toward a back room. This occurred multiple times over the course of about an hour. Whatever the explanation may be, the behavior made me uncomfortable and did not seem appropriate for a restaurant environment. Edit: The business responded that these individuals were family members and employees. I can only speak to what I personally observed during my visit, which was one woman kissing three separate men and repeatedly taking them to a back room. read more

The food is 10/10- fresh and delicious! Huge deal when ordering seafood, the chefs know what they're doing back there for sure. Super cute place, the best patio for a sunny afternoon! read more

Catch 818 - Seafood Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

I've walked past Catch 818 so many times while doing my evening steps along Ventura Boulevard. For the longest time, I actually thought it was a Thai restaurant because of the name. The space always looked roomy and relaxed, never overly packed, which made me curious. I finally told a friend we should try it, and that's when I found out it's actually a Mexican restaurant which is perfectly fine because I love Mexican food. We were seated quickly. There were about five couples in the restaurant including us, so it wasn't busy at all. The place itself is spacious with plenty of tables, which I appreciated. I ordered a chicken quesadilla but received a steak quesadilla instead. Honestly, I had been considering steak anyway, so I didn't make a big deal out of it. The portion was generous with a good amount of steak inside. Overall, I'd rate it about a 7 out of 10. It wasn't bad at all -- definitely more than average -- but it didn't quite stand out flavor-wise the way I expected from a sit-down restaurant. My friend ordered the fish tacos, and the fish portion was impressively large. Very meaty, very generous. Taste-wise, though, we found ourselves adding more avocado, tomatoes, onions, and sour cream to boost the flavor. It was good, but it needed those extras to really come alive. We also ordered horchata with lemonade and cucumber, which was refreshing and enjoyable. The server had a fantastic personality: warm, friendly, and welcoming. That said, I would have appreciated more check-ins. I tend to drink a lot of water, and we had to call her over for refills. At one point another customer was ringing the bell to pay, and she wasn't around for a few minutes. Not a major issue, just something that could elevate the experience with a bit more attentiveness. One thing that stood out was the timing of the food. Since it wasn't busy, I expected a quicker turnaround. It wasn't excessively long, but slightly slower than anticipated for a mostly empty dining room. Overall, I'd rate Catch 818 around 3.5 out of 5. The portions are generous, the space is comfortable, and the service is friendly. With a little improvement in flavor depth and attentiveness, it could easily move up a notch. It's a solid neighborhood spot with potential. read more

My sister and I come often here because we absolutely love the food and the micheladas they're easily our favorites and very convenient because we live near by However, the service consistently is horrible every time we come we are rarely checked on for drink refills or to see how we're doing. During our visit today with a friend, the staff dropped off her menu and water but never returned to take her order. Instead, they focused on cleaning around us and didn't look in our direction so we can get their attention until the very end when the kitchen was closed. Mind you every time we come there's no more than two or three tables present. read more

Service isn't that great but the food is good! So I'll usually get it to for my family and I.

Great bean dip and salsa! would love to have tried more of their food, but when I ordered the fish Zaraneado I was told they stopped serving it. It was 7:30 on a Thursday. I guess they already started cleaning up the kitchen and couldn't be bothered? disappointing. read more

I been coming over to this establishment for the past 2 months, and the service has been proper with professionalism. "Natasha G"made a poor review by falsifying information. I was a customer the evening she was there, the waitress was not clocked in and she wasn't taking nobody to the back. read more

Catch 818 - A false review against the waitress - Seafood Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

Located on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. This is their 2nd location. Great service. Nice clean environment and a nice ambiance with music playing in the background . I came for a drink and oysters. I got the prepared oysters (shrimp and fish ceviche on top of raw oysters). It was delicious. The server suggested the regular oysters (will try next time). I didn't order any other entrees but I look forward to coming back and trying other menu options. read more

Amazing! The food is so good, i was having a hard time finding a close marisco spot around north Hollywood but this is it. Super legit! Had the pescado zarandeado, fish chicharrones and shrimp cocktail. Very satisfying meal and my complainy ass husband had no complaints, they also got the beer buckets for happy hour at certain times, a plus! read more

Catch 818 - Pescado zarandeado - Seafood Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

Only ordered appetizers and drinks but even that was a miss. The watermelon margaritas were like drinking a jolly rancher. The guacamole was salty beyond belief. I was willing to forgive but they still charged me for drink after I took one sip and sent it back. Very shady. The service also just seemed like they hated us for existing. They said no words, just looked at us with despair. The decor is cute tho You've been warned read more

Their food is always great, I always go with Tacos el gobernador, or a green ceviche can miss!

Catch 818 - Octopus Taco, avocado, sesame seeds, grilled onions, cilantro sauce , chipotle sauce, lime juice, served in a flour tortilla. - Seafood Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

Food had no flavor and lacked freshness. The guacamole was brown and tasted stale and refrigerated. The chia lemonade tasted like pure sugar. The gobernador tacos had absolutely no flavor. I had visited their other location a while ago, and their food actually tasted good, so I expected the same. However, this location was a disappointment and overpriced. I should have read the room when this location was empty during lunch hour on World Cup games, which tells you a lot. Also, absolutely no parking. What a disappointment. read more

I usually order from the Woodley spot but this one was closer to work. I ordered the tacos, and two drinks, the Jacaima had a weird flavor that day, like cleaning liquid. Maybe the container wasn't washed out properly. The place was nice and clean I can in as a pick up so I didn't get to sit in. The music was nice not too loud like the one at woodley. They server was polite and I didn't wait too long to get my order. read more

Overpriced food and drinks. Service takes real long and both locations have horrible parking

The food that's like rotten, ewwww just to think about that bite of seafood. Hopefully I don't get food poisoned . The place was nice and clean but no people inside on a Saturday 7pm. That was weird to us. read more

Visited this place for the first time today. I had high hopes but was disappointed. The chips, salsa and beans that they have was good, however, the steak burrito that they charged $20 for fell below expectation. For that amount, I was expecting something big but to my surprise the burrito was actually small and honestly there was no taste to it. The whole time I was eating it, I was regretting not going across the st at tacos 1985. I have had their steak burritos many times and for $14 not only its the same size but 10 times juicer and taste better. Safe to say, I won't be back to this place again. read more

The most delicious ceviche in town. Tried the trio plate so we could try a variety of their ceviches. Gotta say my favorite was the ceviche negro, the micheladas were so tasty and refreshing I could've drank them like sodas. Service was good and restaurant was clean and had good music playing. Many daily deals/ happy hour to look forward to throughout the week! read more

Great food, service, and ambiance! Our local spot for Mariscos. The servers are kind and attentive. I love that the restaurant is very open and gets natural lighting. We ordered aguachile and ceviche. The aguachile is not spicy at all compared to traditional aguachile. Both dishes have strong lemon flavor, which we enjoy. Will continue going here. Cheers! read more

Best fish taco supremes EVER! Love the food, service and atmosphere. They make you feel at home. The kids love it too!

This place just opened in Sherman oaks and I couldn't be happier! I love their food and michies. However the star of the show is the precado chicharon.. this is so crispy and the sauce it's in is sooooo spicy! It's a must have when you go here. I will say it was a bit dirty when i went because they hadn't cleaned any of the tables and mind you the place was empty. When we were about to leave then they started finally cleaning but by then we had finished. They also have a few weekly specials too! read more

I just love this place. You're not going to find a better fish or shrimp taco in the area. And their ceviches are absolutely fabulous- with giant portions. Even the salsa and bean dip with the chips is a great start! The vibe is great, especially when the weather is good and the doors are open. And the service is perfect. A great happy hour spot, daily specials available. Highly recommended! read more
