    Everything tastes amazing! We got a little bit of everything I ordered the culichi camarones and others ordered camarones a la maria, camarones cucaracha, al mojo de ajo all came with a side of rice. Sooooo good. Micheladas are on point! And the service was amazing. It's cash only btw!

    La comida está delicioso la verdad súper recomendable no olvides pedir arroz el mejor que e probado

    Culichies plate omgggg

    The food is magnificent but please be wary of the location. It is not necessarily in the safest area and the parking is nearly impossible to find nearby. With that being said, the food is magnificent and the quality is great. They have a little area for kids to play and they do offer a bathroom near the kitchen where they work. It is very convenient that people can bring their own drinks and alcohol. Whether it be water or beer it doesn't matter to them. Please be aware that its in a back yard of a house. Their salsa is not consistent so u never know if the ood will be spicy or mild that day, but regardless its delicious

    I think this maybe one of my favorite sea food places. Yes it's located in a backyard in Watts. Dona Mary, I believe used to work at Conis/Chentes in Inglewood. The food is the same concept. I love the ceviche and culiches they are my favorite. Chips and salsa are good too. Another favorite of mine is the micheladas. (you can even take them to go) !

    Good spot! Give it a try, you won't regret it. Parking off the street is a bit limited, so keep that in mind.

    Wow! I'm so hurt i havent reviewed this place! I thought i did already, i think it lowkey didn't go…read morethrough cus wth! Anywhooo, guys come! Please Visit!! 10/10 maaann I LOOVE this place. Their phone service is great, that's what lured me. That's hell of a bonus for me cus greeting and welcoming is everything! The place is small but the outside patio hits. No alcohol but you can order a michi mix if you catch my drift. Seems like it's more of a to-go spot but im not a neighbor and enjoy my time eating it there and fresh! I usually order ahead personally because i like my seafood cold and they store it in the fridge to keep it cold once it's done. My go-to is the Matacrudas. I sub the octopus for crab meat 'jaiba.' I've tried most of their sauces, traditional, aguachiles, negra, and just tried the mango habanero. I love how they have a scale for spice preference. I get medium which is just the right amount of spice for me. Their michi mix is reeeallyy good since they have all the ingredients there! Def not a 'bloody mary' mix that some consider a michi. Customer service is great! They are always happy to see you again. I love family owned places! You can tell they appreciate your visit and your business. The food tastes really good and fresh! The portion is more than a great amount. It's basically a botana and you always have extra to take home if you tap out early. Parking lot is really small but i always find a spot or on the street. Please guys, go check them out! I fucks wit them heavy. Everyone on instagram is always commenting or bringing it up in person of how it always looks good.

The staff is friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely coming back! As for prices, our shrimp ceviche was $21, shrimp Coctel $40.

    I don't usually hype spots like this, but Mariscos El Moreno in Lynwood truly never disappoints…read more You know how some places taste amazing when you eat there, but when you get it to-go it's just not the same? El Moreno is the opposite -- it hits every single time, no matter what. Before coming here, I thought aguachiles were the top tier... then I tried their salsa morena and that changed everything. Now I don't even bother with anything else -- morena sauce on EVERYTHING. That sauce is on another level. The ceviche mixta with morena sauce is straight fire. We even ordered two big charolas for my son's first birthday party, and I'm not exaggerating -- almost everyone at the party kept asking where we got the ceviche from. That tells you all you need to know. Only downside is the parking can be a little tight since it's on a small corner, but honestly, once you taste the food, you forget about that real quick. If you go, do yourself a favor: get the salsa morena on everything. You can thank me later.

    First impression: The music is seriously pumped up--think concert, not dinner party. We had to yell…read moreacross the table like we were hailing a taxi. By the end, I wasn't sure if I'd eaten seafood or just done vocal warm-ups. The good news: the food holds its own. The seafood is super fresh, which is a blessing when you need something to focus on besides the bass drop. It's a cozy little spot--parking lot fits about 11 cars, so it's like musical chairs on asphalt. Street parking is an option, just keep an eye out for that street sweeping sign unless you want to donate to the city's "surprise fund." Bottom line: great for a lively, no-fuss meal. Just bring your appetite, your patience, and maybe a subtle hand signal system.
