My meal It arrived like a quiet promise: a butterflied whole fish laid flat on a white plate, skin bronzed and whisper‑crisp from a hot grill while the flesh beneath gleamed, flaking in neat, almost translucent ribbons--an immediate lesson in restraint. The first bite gives you that textbook contrast chefs chase: a thin, savory Maillard snap, then cool, silky flesh that still tastes of the sea rather than smoke, which tells me it was hit hard over heat to render the skin and pulled off at the precise moment before the proteins tightened. Grilled lemon halves, their edges caramelized, are doing real work here--squeezes of that charred citrus cut through the fish's natural oiliness--while the thin ribbons of pickled red onion and peppery microgreens supply the bright, acidic punctuation that keeps the palate moving. Slices of avocado act as a soft, creamy foil, lengthening the finish without smothering the fish, and the halved cherry‑tomato salad looks lightly dressed so you get clean sweetness and a crisp counterpoint rather than a soggy, overdressed side. From a technical standpoint I appreciate the fundamentals: even scoring or oiling of the skin to prevent sticking, careful timing so the flakes separate cleanly, and a sparing hand with seasoning so the brine of the fish isn't lost under salt or heavy sauces. Many places feel compelled to gild seafood with every trendy condiment; here, the restraint is refreshing and, frankly, rarer than it should be. Service matched the cooking: friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to steer us through the menu with solid recommendations, which matters when a kitchen is doing delicious things well. The restaurant itself is calm and clean, a peaceful setting with a bar that lets the food speak, and last time I was there they were in the process of securing a beer and wine license--good news, because this kind of balanced, grill‑forward cooking benefits from a thoughtful pour. In short, this meal stands out because it trusts the ingredient: confident grilling, smart acid, and honest accompaniments that clarify rather than compete, leaving you satisfied and already thinking about the next visit. As for the house-made salsa: stainless ramekins on a white plate, each with its own tiny spoon - bright yellow emulsion, lacquered dark reduction, smoky-red chile purée, and a chunky herb relish. The emulsion is silky and tangy, perfect for cutting fat; the dark sauce is sticky, umami-forward and built to cling; the red one carries smoke on oil and is medium-hot; the relish snaps with fresh acid and crunch. Important heads-up: one of these is a ghost-pepper style salsa - extremely spicy, slow-building and long-lingering, so use it as a finish, not a dunk. Execution is tidy: no broken emulsion, measured viscosities, portioned so flavors don't bleed - practical, disciplined work. In an era of one-trick "house sauce" laziness, this quartet gives you tools, not excuses, and it elevates whatever's on the grill without stealing the show. I'll definitely be back here! read more

Decent spot for some Mexican seafood. Modern and slick interior with chill Latin pop makes me feel like I'm sitting in an all-inclusive resort. Loved the tuna ceviche. Good portion for $28. Mango habanero hot sauce takes the ceviche up a notch with its tropical flavor. Grilled Kanpachi taco is my favorite of all the tacos. Fish is grilled with care, well preserving the moisture and natural sweetness. Had to get a second grilled kanpachi taco after devouring 4 different tacos already. Rib eye taco is quite amazing too. Love the satisfaction from a well grilled fatty steak. The rib eye itself is sliced to thin pieces but I still get the sensation of biting into chunks of meat. Love the idea that the seasoning is competed with pickled onions and salsa as opposed to just seasoning the meat Baja fish and shrimp are more forgetful. Would come again for the tacos absolutely. read more

"Absolutely blown away by Dos Amantes. The chef Angel's seafood is truly next level--every dish tastes super fresh, beautifully balanced, and full of bold, thoughtful flavors. You can tell there's real passion behind it. Honestly, one of the best seafood meals I've had in LA. Huge compliments to the chef." read more

MUST TRY this new Mexican seafood grill in West Hollywood!! The food is excellent particularly the uber fresh ceviches, and the branzino just wow! I was pleasantly surprised at the portion sizes for the cost! Portion sizes in most places have gone down while the cost has risen, but not here! Very high value for the money. We also had dessert and the tres leches cake is out of this world! Also the grilled chicken is just exceptional! I haven't been blown away by anyone's chicken in a long time. It's juicy and tender and the smokiness from the grill is so intoxicating. The service was excellent as well, Erica was a delight and so attentive! Highly recommend this place I've been back three times in two months! read more

We were craving tacos from a popular Michelin-starred spot nearby but didn't want to wait in yet another line after the pop-up events. Luckily, Dos Amantes offers a very similar menu without the wait. Very clean, modern, well-lit dining area. They have daily deals like $12 for 3 fish tacos (individually $6)! The tacos were fantastic--fresh, sturdy tortillas, and the fish tacos were crispy, meaty, and moist inside. The octopus taco was hearty too, though it needed a bit more effort to bite through. I liked the black spread with bits of octopus in it. We got four different sauces, including salsa macha (chili crisp!), each with a varying level of spice, but nothing too intense. However, the tortillas were a tad small to comfortably eat without the contents spilling out. Additionally, the complimentary tortilla chips with salsa were good, though warm chips would've been a nice touch. The tuna ceviche looked generous, but the tuna was much too finely diced, making it hard to distinguish from the tomatoes. It was tasty, but for $28, I expected more of the tuna to shine through. We ended with a slice of tres leches cake that was light, moist, not too sweet, and packed with milk flavor. The berries were fresh and large. Even though we were the only ones there, the service was attentive and friendly. Everything came out quickly, and they checked in on us several times. If you want specific tacos but don't have the time to wait in line, or if you're hosting a larger group and need a slightly fancier spot, Dos Amantes is a solid choice. The prices are a bit higher, but that's to be expected with a full-service restaurant. read more

Had an amazing time here. Great food and wonderful service. I really enjoyed the salsa and had to stop myself from eating more chips. I think they are made in house very good. The branzino did not look very appetizing but it was amazing. There werent many people dining here and it's a fairly new restaurant. I hope more people check it out read more

Street meter parking. Amazing service by Cassandra! We had some fresh oysters, Baja fish, tacos, and the short rib tacos. They were all so amazing! For tacos were both flavored and had a great texture. It was not overcooked or rubbery at all. The Baja fish tacos were light and flaky. They were the best tacos we had ever eaten. And that's saying a lot since we eat at many different places for tacos. We will be coming back again! read more

Fantastic experience tonight for their Grand Opening Party. Parking was easily found around the corner and the atmosphere was very welcoming. They had a big balloon display outside with a red carpet as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony and a dj. Inside the tables were first come first served. My husband and I were able to easily find one. Since they were hosting this party all the food and drinks were included. We easily figured out the layout of the restaurant and everything went smoothly from then on. There was a bar on one side where you could order alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The bar also had an area for self-serve chips, salsa and guacamole. On the other side of the bar was another self-serve raw seafood station. They had oysters, scallops, uni, etc. The kitchen was an open concept where you could walk up or stand nearby to watch the chefs cooking. The staff were all so friendly and the hospitality was fantastic. Now for all the tables - the best part was the waitresses and waiters would walk around with all the food and bring it straight to you. I can't even count the amount of food we ate but every single dish was so satisfying! We had several versions of tacos including short rib, ribeye, shrimp, fish and octopus. We also has tostadas, shrimp cocktails, etc. This went on for three entire hours to the point where we both left completely stuffed! During the event there was a raffle and several announcements introducing the staff as this a family-run restaurant. Overall it was a great event and I can't wait to be back! read more

9/3/2025 - This is a newly opened Mexican Grill, which specializes in seafood, two months ago. The staff are friendly and working hard to make every customer happy. Looking at the fresh seafood display lead me think this is an upscale seafood restaurant in Los Angeles, e.g., the live Uni is so good and fresh, which is very difficult to find in LA. If you like sweet, try this Tres Leches, a 5-star desert. The street paid parking in front of the restaurant is available, but no parking between 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. At present, no Happy Hour and WiFi are available in the restaurant. read more

Talk about artisan Mexican Food the four brothers that own this place are from Oaxaca and they also own red fish, which is a sushi/Mexican place everything that they have there is made in house from their tortillas to their salsa to everything that's pickled their dessert their short ribs were amazing. They were slow roasted even stuff that is as simple as the cheese quesadillas were so good. The tortillas were made fresh there and they use fresh cheese. The guacamole is made there. The shrimp ceviche is out of this world and then they have three homemade hot sauces that they make delicious if you're gonna go for dessert try their Tres leches. It is probably the best I've ever tried. read more

Came in randomly for lunch on a Tuesday, the whole restaurant looks awesome, the restaurant is new so they still had no alcohol but I was able to grab some food. The quality of the seafood I had, has to be some of the best in LA. I ordered the Kanpachi Tostada, Baja Fish taco and the taco de pulpo (not pictured because I destroyed it before remembering to take a pic....) But everything was so good, the sofrito in the octopus taco is so addictive, the salsas that come with it are so spicy but you just can't stop eating it. Everything was so good, and while I was having a conversation with the host/owner the chef sent out and extra taco for me to try, I really appreciate rhetorical hospitality shown by the owners and the chef! Will definitely come back to have a drink or two or 4 when you guys get that liquor license! read more

Stumbled across this restaurant whilst visiting Magnolia Bakery. After a sweet treat, my husband and I figured we should grab something a little more savory and filling. We picked the perfect spot! My husband had the shrimp taco and the tostada mixta. The shrimp were perfectly battered and fried. So picturesque and tasty!!! The octopus in the tostada was tender. Cooked just right. I feel like most restaurants hit or miss with octopus. I had the pescado a la leña. Smoked branzino served with rice, black beans, avocado and a zesty, grape tomato/picked onion salad. I also grabbed a watermelon mint julep mocktail. 10/10. It's very rare for me to enjoy everything I've order at a restaurant. Something's always a miss. I wasn't disappointed and will be returning with my in-laws!!! As for the aesthetic of the restaurant, I can't complain. From the furnishing, down to the plates and cutlery...everything fits the menu so well. The host that helped us was personable and polite. She answered all our questions and was accommodating. I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Discovered this place by accident. There isn't any seafood restaurant in west Los Angeles that serve this level of assortment of clean, fresh, simple and delicious lemony savory seafood.

Dos Amantes - Pulpo taco - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I live very close to this new place and finally tried it last week with a friend. We were served by a nice guy but we learned later he was not our server as she was on break and just came at the end to give us our check which listed the wrong tacos (which were more in cost) and she never refilled my water. They refunded us and recharged us and she was nice, and the food was good. However the reason I don't plan to go back is a 4% surcharge when using a credit card. This place is a dining restaurant, not a taco stand. It's ridiculous to do this to customers. It's not great enough for me to ever go back. read more

My wife was walking past and asked if I wanted to stop in for lunch. The menu board out front looked great and there's a lack of really great mariscos options in the area. We got the yellowtail ceviche, shrimp tostada, Baja fish taco, and shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were so good we ordered another round. The yellowtail ceviche was comparable to great ceviches I've had in Mexico, and I can't wait to get the shrimp another time. Staff was super friendly and very welcoming. It was a bit warm inside, and the bar isn't open yet as they don't have their liquor license for dispensing alcohol yet. I'll be back as soon as the bar is open for a margarita! Lovely time and can't wait to be back. read more

An incredible find! I'm so happy to have this place come to 3rd St. This place does incredible Mexican seafood. I had to come back here a second time to take photos because I was too busy eating to take any pictures the first time. My favorite is the shrimp ceviche--flavorful, tangy, fresh, with generous portions. The wood-fired fish and the collar kanpachi is also a standout. The tacos are incredible too! I've tried the fried fish, fried shrimp, and grilled fish tacos. My favorite is the grilled fish but the fried shrimp taco is delicious too. We've also tried the garlic shrimp, which is tasty and deliciously garlicky. The service is also friendly and welcoming. Come here for fresh, excellent seafood! read more
