My most favorite place to get ceviche. I've been coming for years. I usually get it to go. But this time I ordered-in with family. Cute shell presentation for the ceviche. The lady was very busy but polite and attentive. Love this place. read more

El 7 Mares Express - A large fish ceviche. Delicious! (I've ordered from here for years. My first time for dine in. Cute presentation!) - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

E1 is not the biggest place, but there is plenty of seating. Many get their orders to go. The place is clean, always. They gave great daily specials, so check the out. All of the food we have had is great. We order a lot of fish dishes and they are so good. But our favorite is their guacamole. It is fresh and thick and perfect. Get that with any order or get a side. My grandson always insists on extra. Whether you get the food to go or eat there it is just the same and it is always right. The entire staff is super nice and they pay attention when you want things, like sour cream, no where on your food. You order at the counter and they will let you know when it is ready to pick up. They have a huge menu and we have not had it all, but what we have had is just great. read more

We absolutely love their shrimp taco Mondays $1.75 per taco! When we're in town we also try to come here for lunch. The service is always great, they are super friendly and brings the food out to your table. You just walk in, order, choose your own table and sit and wait for your order. They also bring you chips and salsa. I also order their horchata! The ambiance is like a mom and pop restaurant. They have a small parking area outside. You can also call them to order for pick up. I highly recommend! read more

El 7 Mares Express - Shrimp tacos! With horchata - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

Mainly come here for the Taco Wednesday deal. Last time I forgot and went on a Tuesday, because Taco Tuesday is ingrained in my brain but they have different deals each day. Careful with the parking for them specifically is small. But I found parking on the street in front of the restaurant last week. The regular fish tacos are a bit bigger than the ones or Taco Wednesday. But it's still a great deal, I got 12 for under $24 and was able to order by phone with it being ready in about 20 min. Definitely strong on the onion and I appreciated that the orders come with lime, salsa, and chips. Cute indoors space, spacious booth seating. The lady that is in the front is always friendly and nice. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon & it was empty! Ordered a shrimp taco, fish taco & shrimp cocktail. Shrimp taco was good, didn't try the fish one because I wanted to make sure I finished the shrimp cocktail which was absolutely delicious!!! It was so fresh. There was plenty of seating. The service was fast and great. Would definitely come back. read more

El 7 Mares Express - Shrimp cocktail - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

In all the years we've lived here never tried this place. We had the fried shrimp tacos and the carne asada plate. What first impressed us when we walked in was the cleanliness and the brightness of the restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and the fajitas was sizzling and looked delicious. The salad was crisp and fresh and the meat was tender and tasty. The beans were dry but the rice was fluffy and had flavor. The fried tacos were good. Overall I would come back and eat here again! read more

Overpriced and subpar. I've had better mariscos. The lady and man are kind but the food is ok.

Excellent food! Mariscos are always very fresh! Our waitress Valeria was awesome even though I had to keep asking for refills of chips & salsa.... very tiny bowls. The restaurant itself was clean but a little outdated. Overall, a great place to eat when you are craving Mariscos! read more

Food was delicious. We ordered a molcajete and it was so much food. It came with a salad, rice, beans and tortillas and guacamole. The salsa they in there is so good. And I also had a tostada de ceviche and it was good too. I will definitely be going back read more

We were craving ceviche and decided to try this spot, we ordered fish and shrimp ceviche both medium and 5 fish tacos, the total was $50 ouch! The fish ceviche was good, the shrimp just okay, the fish tacos were good and massive, you can easily make two tacos out of one. Staff were very nice! read more

El 7 Mares Express - I pulled up the top layer, so you can see how much fish is in these tacos. - Mexican Near Me - Downey, California

This has been my go-to spot for Fish/Shrimp tacos. Its baja style with the cabbage and crema. Other items are hit-or-miss. The Caldo 7 Mares(seafood soup) was not good. At all. Not much flavor going on. Surprisingly the asada they use for tacos was not bad, at least last time we had them. Mondays used to be $1 Shrimp Tacos same goes for Wed Fish or vice versa. They still cheap just not a dollar. Not sure if its worth it, whem you buy the Mon/Wed special, they skimp out A LOT on the amount they use on the tacos. Ladies at register are usually always nice. Place is small with a few tables to eat in. But honestly its pay and go at register so kind of no point to eat in fast food. read more

Very disappointed with the food I ordered. I ask for a tostada mixta and the food was frozen I was very hungry and couldn't even enjoy my food. read more

The food here is always excellent, the price is good and the service is always friendly with a smile.

I ordered the shrimp ceviche and it was delicious! The location looks smaller from the outside than it really is. However, due to covid only outdoor dining is available at the moment. But I will definitely go back to try other dishes. read more

The only thing this place has going for them is the ambiance. The food was over seasoned, the drinks we over sweetened, margarita was pure syrup. If you plan on paying with a credit card just know you will be charged a $3.50 convenience fee. read more

I got the ceviche de pescado and shrimp. The fish is very fresh doesn't have a fishy taste. As for me I love a very lemony ceviche where its very overpowering but isn't like that at all. So if you like overpowering lemon taste this isn't the place. But if you don't like lemon taste that much then this is the place. The shrimp ceviche is ok too. Not too much lemon taste either. The parking is very small and narrow. So try to park outside. They don't have empanadas either. read more

Food sucks . Shrimp cocktail tasted spoiled. Camarones al mojo de ajo were way over cooked . I wouldn't go back if it was free .

I ordered a chicken salad. When I received my order there was almost no chicken in my salad. The picture on the menu has 3 times more chicken. I mentioned to cashier and she just shrugged her shoulders. I told her my chicken was for about 1 taco. She asked if I wanted my money back instead of adding more chicken. I got a refund. Customer service sucks. read more

Wwwwwwwweeeeooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwewwewwwwwwwwwwwww great food and service.

I come here often enough to know they can do better. The customer service is good but today I am kind of upset with this place. The picture shows it all. I placed an order for a total of 5 fish tacos. I couldn't understand what was making my car smell like something was burning until I got home and opened up my containers. The fish tasted so bad, was very bitter, and I couldn't finish it. read more

Service is great and their 7 mares is mine and my family's favorite! Perfectly spiced.

This has always been one of my favorite seafood restaurants. It's a Seafood paradise for seafood lovers like myself. I've been frequenting this little restaurant for about 5 years now. And came in for take out throughout the whole pandemic. Thank goodness they never went on lock down. I love dealing with Carmen she always takes my orders in person and by phone. She is so pleasant and friendly. Very professional. And today the Chef/ Cook Francisco went over and beyond the call of duty with my dinner! I forgot how much nicer it is to enjoy my food at the restaurant. He's an excellent cook! My favorites are the Tostada mixta, which is a large order of ceviche mixto . Enough to make at the very least 6 tostadas. And of course their shrimp cocktails are perfect too. And the Camarones Al mojo de ajo of today we're out of this world delicious and huge. Fresh like always. Gracias por ser tan atentos y agradables con sus clientes! Carmen y Francisco. Just letting Carmen and Francisco know how much they are appreciated. It's the little restaurant 7 Mares Express across the street from the bigger El 7 Mares Restaurant. Stop by, guaranteed: you will not be disappointed. Thank you. read more
