Food: I was really excited to try this spot but I didn't get the flavors I was expecting. The ceviche was okay. Wish it came with some avocado, but they unfortunately dont offer that. The camarones were fresh and the rice was tasty. I'm curious about the aguachilies and might come back to give this spot another shot. Ambiance: loved that it was right by the beach Service: Great! Our server was so friendly and the food came out quick. read more

Delicious! I had the Camarones Borrachos and they were so good! I loved that they kept the heads on. It was perfectly season if not a tad bit too salty. Although when mixed with the rice, it was back to perfect. We shared the Tacos as well and those were good too. I will definitely be back and bringing folks with me! read more

We had quite the interesting experience at Coni seafood and frankly, I was surprised to see that they are listed on the Michelin guide. But perhaps the original Inglewood location is better. My friend and I stopped in during the week for lunch to a mostly empty restaurant. The staff member who told us that we could sit anywhere looked confused to see us. From there the service just became more and more strange. We felt like we were in a fever dream. From a server taking 15 minutes to make a margarita because she kept stopping to fill up a storage bucket of chips, to the first server not knowing the name of the menu items he was recommending us, to them forgetting one of the items we ordered, but pretending like they remembered until they came back 5 minutes later to ask what we meant. It was very odd. The food itself was good but I have had the same style of dishes at other restaurants and they were just as good. The shrimp tacos gobernador had good flavor, and the taco shell stayed crispy. I wish it had more shrimp. We also had the shrimp in house sauce. I don't know if there's another name for it because that's the one that the server recommended but couldn't find on the menu. Again, very tasty, but you can see from the photo how sparse the shrimp was. The sauce was great for dipping my tacos into. Overall, I wouldn't return to this location. I think they have a few things to work out. read more

Drove all the way here, payed for parking. online says it closes at 9 but kitchen decides to close more than 30 min earlier.

Ive always thought folks were jerks for reviewing on anything other than food til I tried to go to Coni's. No greeting other than a dude saying he would clean a table. Floor littered with food and then we watched a guy painfully, slowly clean a table and rake crumbs onto the floor. Nobody had food it was dirty plates: you could see the tickets stack on a spindle, folks chatting in the kitchen. Still not sure if this table is clear.... we left. This all took around 10 minutes. There were other open tables btw read more

I usually go to the one in Inglewood. The original one so I was a little skeptical about the one in Hermosa but it did not disappoint. It was soo good. Staff was super nice! Must get the pepper shrimp and the longostines. We also got the snook which was soo delicious and soft. We enjoyed it soo much! Can't wait to go back! read more

Zero stars if Yelp would let us. My son, wife and I ordered ceviche, shrimp, octopus, and grilled sea bass. The ceviche was the lone survivor -- everything else was a disaster. The shrimp and octopus had the texture of wet sponges (super mushy) and were doing laps in a pool of oil. The rice? Also oily. Sensing a theme here. Then there was the "grilled sea bass." I want to be very clear: whatever arrived at our table was not grilled, was not sea bass, and should not be served to people who eat seafood. It was soft, chewy, and breaded. A flaky, properly grilled piece of fish has apparently never set fin in this kitchen. We left the seabass untouched, paid the bill anyway, went home and my wife cooked us a better dinner in 20 minutes. That's the review. One star for the ceviche. Negative stars for everything else. p.s. I have lived here since 1998 and have tried every restaurant in Hermosa and Manhattan Beach - so we know what we are talking about :) read more

The food is truly Coni's Seafood's selling point. We have been going to the original Inglewood location for years, so we were excited to hear there is now a Hermosa location as well. We came in on a Friday night and it was surprisingly quiet. The ambiance was fine overall, though the lighting was very harsh and could definitely benefit from dimmers to make the space feel warmer and more inviting. Our server, however, was very helpful and accommodating throughout the meal. Now to the important part, the food. We ordered the snook as always and it did not disappoint. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. The sautéed onions served with it are so good they could honestly be eaten on their own. We also ordered the ceviche marinero, another staple for us, and requested the shrimp be pre-cooked, which they accommodated with no issue at all. The micheladas are a must order here. Tangy, perfectly spicy, and the ideal drink to pair with the flavorful chips and salsa, which also bring plenty of heat and flavor. If you care more about incredible seafood than trendy ambiance, Coni's continues to deliver. read more

My guess is that this is one of those businesses that just exists to offset another business's tax liability or other some such financial shenanigan cause they certainly don't run it to be a successful restaurant in its own right. The 'Michelin' sticker on the menu is a total fiction, or it refers to a completely different Michelin that has nothing to do with food. They do not have oysters, even though they're on the menu, and it comes up if you google 'oysters near me'. The service is just sad. I saw the waitress walk past a napkin that was in the middle of the floor at least 5 times, until a customer picked it up on their way to the restroom. The food is just low effort, and the seating is uncomfortable. Like I said, I think it's more likely that this place is being used to launder money than to be a serious restaurant. End of review. read more

The moment I arrived, I had to wait to be seated even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all. The place also looked dirty, and there were a lot of flies throughout the restaurant. Here's what I ordered: the Tacos Gobernador, Tostaditos, and Pimienta con Pulpo y Camarones. First, the Tacos Gobernador had almost no flavor. They were very soggy and tasted mostly like tomatoes. There was barely any cheese. The Tostaditos were even more disappointing. The printed menu that was given to me stated they included sea snail, but there wasn't any. It also failed to mention that the dish came with jicama. That's false advertising. I can't stand jicama, and what if I had been allergic? It should have been listed on the menu. When we asked the waitress, she said the printed menus were outdated and that the online menu was correct. However, after checking the online menu myself, there was still no mention of jicama. Lastly, the pulpo and shrimp dish was drenched in butter and extremely salty. The butter completely overpowered everything else. The only thing I actually enjoyed was the rice. Overall, this was not a good experience. I don't understand how this restaurant received Michelin recognition. Maybe I just didn't order the right dishes, but everything I ordered was disappointing and not appetizing. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return. read more

Tried out the hermosa location 30 minutes before closing and the service was still 10/10 . Super friendly and not rushed at all, which I really appreciated. The ceviche... OMG it was SO GOOD. Honestly better than the other location, it was that good. So fresh, so flavorful I was obsessed. I also tried the michelada it was good, but the beer kind of overpowered the mix a bit but, still hit though! Overall, such a great experience. Good vibes, amazing food, and great service even right before closing. Definitely coming back! And the view just wow!!! Definitely cute! read more

About two weeks ago, a third location of the well-lauded Coni'Seafood opened in Hermosa Beach, two blocks away from the water. I had just learned of this spot days ago through a two-year-old episode of a podcast and knew I needed to pay a visit. Being hindered by my own small stomach, I ordered a Modelo Negro and shrimp aguachiles but wanted to order more food. My server promptly brought over thick golden tortilla chips in a deep bowl with a small ramekin of puckering lime juice, green chili and perhaps cucumber, and then checked on other patrons. The Modelo arrived in a large chilled glass mug alongside some ice water in a mason jar. I didn't time how long my aguachiles took but the website clearly states that all raw seafood is prepped to order. Can't rush perfection! My order of 8 butterflied head-on shrimp arrived looking freshly prepped and super plump, each dressed with green marinade. The deveining job was also commendable and slivers of red onion each sliced the same width, I understood why this place hangs awards on its walls. Each shrimp was about two bites. Popping open the heads like car trunks revealed a third slurp of oceanic soft brine. By the time I got to shrimp number 8, it looked more opaque and "cooked." The website, but not the paper menu, stated that all raw orders are cold cooked and can be modified upon request. I think on my next visit, I'll let the shrimp sit in the lime blend a few minutes longer before digging in, purely personal preference, and request a spoon so I can drink up all the leftover marinade. I found myself tipping the plate attempting to catch juices on my tortilla chips. For those who want a little more cure on their raw seafood or aren't ready for fully raw shrimp, I'm told ceviche receives a longer cure time versus a super short cured aguachile. I was surprised that a large beer, 8 shrimp and a bowl of chips filled me up so much but I'm excited to come back at try more from the menu. read more

We have been fans of Coni'Seafood in Inglewood for awhile so we were so happy when they opened up the location in Hermosa. We went on a weeknight and it was quite empty. We ordered the ceviche marinero, which was delicious as expected. We also got my favorite dish, the cucarachitas, but this location's version is spicier and more wet vs. the crispier fried version at the other location. Still good but I do think I prefer the other location's version a bit better. We also got the zarandeado and some delicious micheladas. All in all, I will definitely be coming back with friends. read more

High quality seafood. Real mexican food. From the home made tortillas aqua chile to the outstanding grilled snook Wow!!!! Family owned Service is excellent. Try the marlin tacos or the vegi shrimp tacos. The salsa is excellent with just a bit of heat. They make home made lemonaide also. Its casual beach vibe with b eer .This a mexican seafood resturant no gucamole and if your looking for american mexican food this not your place to eat. read more

Food was good but they only have 2 guys working there . They don't clean up tables after people are done . There was a huge table with food and drinks left behind causing for flys to be everywhere!! They had to turn people away because of short staff. They need to do something about getting more staff especially on the weekends!!! I love coni's first location but the hermosa one needs work !!! read more

I'm honestly not sure why this place has low ratings. I was there last week and we ordered longostinos, cevisushi, whole fish, and ceviche. Everything was absolutely amazing. I'm usually not a fan of octopus, but to my surprise, it was delicious! The longostinos were packed with flavor, and the sauce was sooo good. Overall, the food was outstanding and the service was great as well. I'll definitely be back! read more

We have now just finished our third time here. It has been absolutely fantastic. First time we had the snook (1 kilo about 2lbs), also known as Zarandeado and also had the shrimp in butter and pepper. Second time, yesterday, we had the snook again, shared between the two of us, and beers and a couple simple vodka drinks. And then we enjoyed it so much yesterday, we came back today. Today, we had the langostinos in their special sauce (really tasty with some heat) and also had the shrimp in butter and pepper, again. Same server all three times. Very knowledgeable and attentive. Watched some Olympics yesterday, and today just hanging out at the cool window tables getting a great breeze from the ocean. Definitely going to try one of the ceviches next time. Everything has such amazing flavor. So unique and nothing like it in HB or MB. read more

I tried this place for the first time today. I think I'll return. I ordered the shrimp cocktail but disappointed it didn't have avocado for the price I paid. I did like their homemade chips that were addicting but the salsa was too watery and spicy for my taste. I'll try something new next time. read more

I love the original spot, on imperial and Yukon. It's a Lennox staple: the food is fantastic, my favorite hands down is the Ceviche Marinero. Uffffffff. The ceviche rojo is fire. The pescado sarandiado is amazing. The pescado chicharrones, the cucarachitassssss! Mann. Try it's the service is great, just remember it's made to order and it's alway packed, so be aware. The ambiance is settle, nice and quiet in the back but loud by the windows. Enjoy y'all! read more

The portions and quality here were NOT as good in comparison to their other locations ... hoping it's the restaurant just getting their footing since they only recently opened... but I'll wait a while before going back. read more

Service needs a lot of work. Super understaffed but excellent ceviche and well worth the wait. Recommend the ceviche more than their hot foods. Huge portions and super fresh. Takes awhile to get your order but I can see why. You can tell that everything is made to order . Not sure I'll go back for dine-in due to understaffed issues but I'll be getting their ceviche as takeout for sure! The shrimp tastes even better when cured a little bit longer in the lime/salsa. Try the black ceviche w mango & cucumber. Excellent. Food is superb... service/staff needs work, but definitely worth the wait. Hot dishes.... Not so much. Ordered for the kids. Other downside is they don't have guac or even any avocado on the menu :( very disappointed). Fresh raw fish or seafood needs avocado!! read more

I've come to coni's twice since it opened, the food is really good especially if you're craving seafood in the South Bay. Went early on a Friday night and it was somewhat quiet; I'm sure people are deterred by the low reviews since they've opened. Service was slow the first time we went, but not bad. The second time was impeccable. when you're craving ceviche or grilled fish, it's hard to find a good alternative in the South Bay. we got fish ceviche and the grilled snook. The snook is massive! But so tender and juicy with a nice char. We were so impressed by the cook and taste. Coni's is a staple and in the rotation for me and my husband. read more

Very good meal. 10/10 would go there again. So happy to have a location in Hermosa now. Probably the only place with Spicy salsa in HB/MB

Coni's Seafood is sooo good. My husband and I went twice in one week, which says everything. We started with the michelada and the chips and salsa. Be careful with the chips and salsa because they are so good you might get full before the food even comes out. The camarones ahogada roja were bomb. We also ordered the zarandeado (1 lb) and wow, it was amazing. The caramelized onions, perfectly cooked fish, and warm tortillas together were so good. Our waitress Jaimie was the cherry on top. She was cute, sweet, and super attentive, always checking in to make sure we were good. She really made the whole experience even better. We will definitely be back. read more

The food is amazing. Since non alcoholic beer is a trend. I suggest adding non alcoholic beers to the bar. Will be great.

I've been a regular at Coni'Seafood's Del Rey (Centinela) location, where both the food and service have always been consistently great. Unfortunately, my experience at the Hermosa Beach location was very disappointing. Despite having a reservation for six, we waited about 20 minutes to be seated while the restaurant wasn't full, with no communication or updates from staff. Once seated, the chips and ceviche arrived promptly and were good, but the entrees took close to two hours. We understand pescado zarandeado takes about 30 minutes and were completely fine with that, but this was far beyond a reasonable wait. At one point, we asked about the langostinos and were told "5 more minutes," yet it took about 20 minutes longer. A table seated after us received their food sooner, and there were no updates throughout the meal. Service overall felt inattentive. Staff were often gathered chatting, we waited to pay with no one coming to the table, and ultimately had to go up to the front ourselves. We also noticed cleaning supplies left out near a dining table for an extended period, which didn't feel appropriate. I also shared this feedback with staff during the visit, but there was no acknowledgment or apology. The food quality was still good, which is the only reason for two stars, but the lack of communication and overall service made for a frustrating experience. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return to this location and would recommend the Del Rey (Centinela) location instead. This location would benefit from stronger management and attention to service. read more

Regretting that I've never made it to the original location because I've been twice since Hermosa opened and I'm obsessed. Everything we've had is so good. The snook, the Diablo shrimp, all the ceviches we've tried - so much flavor and cooked perfectly. Our waitress was super sweet and gave us a bunch of recs for our next visit too (marlin pate!). read more

Everything is great about this place. They are a Mexican seafood inspired restaurant in West LA. They may be the only authentic restaurant with this style of food. All dishes are amazing. Their service is ok depending on when you go but they are doing their best. The Chef's special, Cucarachas, cucarachitas, Tostaditos, mojarra frita, and Pulpo à la Pimienta are to die for. You must visit this place!! The atmosphere makes it feel like you are on a beach in Mexico! read more

Coni Seafood - Snook - Seafood Near Me - Hermosa Beach, California

The single star is for the friendly if inaccurate service. Overpriced, unintersting food. Smell of grease in the air clung to my clothes. Serving multiple Modelos to the table, mine was 1/3 empty (foam went down I suppose). Nice server brought me a second full beer at no extra charge, thumbs up there. We order ( party of 8 for a birthday because we had always heard how good the food was and some of us had just returned from Mexico). Two of us CLEARLY TWICE said that we were sharing the pescado. They end up bringing us two entrees. I complain briefly, but the guy says, I will bring you a box for the leftovers. (Bear in mind this food is not a bargain). I do not complain again because I JUST complained about the beer, but have afterburn about this. It is not my fault you served me a beer that was 1/3 empty or that you brought two entrees when we clearly asked to share (even asking to be sure to bring an extra plate). Big thumbs down there. There is no dessert offered on the menu. However, after we asked if birthday girl could receive a tequilia shot that was done for her, and it was very generous. Thumbs up there. Overall menu: having a menu that is almost all shrimp and basically tastes the same (I know because we all shared bites of the food) and has no desserts, salads, or sides is kind of unattractive. Restaurant had two other tables with people actually in them. I give this location a month. I certainly cannot go back after spending double what I had planned to spend on an entree I didn't want (yes, both my friend and I who were supposed to be sharing had half of our individual plates left over). And that grease smell in the air, and minimal decor -- no, not when I can get better and cheaper seafood Mexican elsewhere in Hermosa (La Playita) or better and more expensive/upscale elsewhere in Hermosa, too (Palmilla). Who is going to return here to eat similar tasting dishes that are overpriced with no salads, sides (except very bland rice with a bit of corn sprinkled in), or vegtables? Not to mention the chips at the table. Heavy, oily, cold, and seemingly old. WHY? Guys, go to La Playita. Crisp, hot, light, not greasy, far better salsa, and ACCURATE SERVICE. Or go to Palmilla and have an actually crisp cold elegantly served beer for two dollars more with delicious fresh made flour tortillas and three salsa choices. Who is going to return HERE when you are misserved and the response is to say "I will bring you a box." The correct response is my mistake, no charge and I will bring you a box. Yes, I am annoyed with myself for not saying, huh uh, unacceptable. Had it not been a birthday, I definitely would have done so. I work hard for my money and I don't need to spend it on mistakes. The fish itself was bland, oily, uninteresting. Greasy green peppers and onions to top it which somehow even though they missed the part about us sharing that entree, they did get right the part of putting that stuff on the side, rendering it rather edible. 20% gratuity built in, btw. But the tequilia shot and the replacement beer (again, sloppy mistake tho) were friendly responses. Is this really how it is at the Michelin bib awarded Inglewood location??? Were the reviewers sober at the time? read more
