    Mojarra Frito Mojo de Ajo
    Stephen P.

    Great seafood way in the back of a swap meet but don't let that keep you away. Vast selection and friendly service.

    The best ceviche and tacos gov I've had.
    Moises G.

    Wow--what an amazing experience! From the second we sat down, the staff treated us like VIPs. The service was fast, friendly, and so attentive--it honestly made the whole night even better. And the food? Absolutely unbeatable. Every bite was packed with fresh flavors; you can tell the seafood is as fresh as it gets. The ceviche and camarones were out of this world, and the drinks paired perfectly. The atmosphere is fun, vibrant, and welcoming--it feels like the kind of place you never want to leave. Everything about this spot shows they truly care about quality and their guests. I left beyond satisfied and already can't wait to come back. If you love seafood, great vibes, and service that makes you feel at home, this is THE place. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had!

    Located at the back of the Anaheim Indoor Swapmeet is a small hidden gem with less than a dozen tables. My shrimp tacos gobernador were so delish, as was my margarita! The fish taco was good but definitely not the best I've had. It was breaded vs. tempura fried. My husband really liked his ceviche, but you only get one tostada for a mountain of seafood. We requested more, and our server was happy to oblige. The music was on point, and what a perfect spot for people watching! Prices were beyond reasonable - about $70 for massive portions, beers, and cocktails. One star removed because there was a huge frozen chunk of fish in the ceviche.

    Cerviche nice (mix) large shrimp taco. The governor taco

    Hidden seafood gem. At a good price. They surely pack the tacos and cerviche. Good service. Fresh seafood

    Empanadas de Camaron, 2 Tacos Gobernador
    Nohemi B.

    Came here with a few friends during the soft opening & it was absolutely delicious. We started off with the empanadas de camarones, they were light yet filling, came with 3 different dipping options. I would order these again! We each had some of their tacos al gobernador and some camarones ala yo. I also had a michelada and a side of rice and beans. The tacos al gobernador were probably the best we've ever had. We've already gone back a few times to buy more. The camarones ala yo have an amazing and unique sauce, it's spicy & tangy and honestly just YUM. Definitely worth trying simply for the sauce. The michelada was refreshing & just right. Sides were solid. Overall, I'm so impressed with the food; 10/10 recommend!

    Aguachiles Negros

    I highly recommend you order the Aguachiles Negros! They arent on the menu but they are fire! You will thank me later ;) oh and dont forget to pair it with a michelada!

    No puedo opinar sobre la comida porque estás baquetonas no se molestaron en ayudar o preguntar si ocupábamos ayuda. Así como las ven estas 3 señoras se la pasan ahí paradas sin hacer nada, prefirieron a atender a 2 mujeres que en mi parecer trabajan ahí en la marqueta que nomás se colaron en la fila . Especialmente la que se pone un labial rosa quien solo se molestó en rodarme los ojos y mirarme feo, le pregunto a la señora de enfrente que si veníamos con ella y aunque la señora dijo que no, no preguntó si ocupábamos ayuda o nos ofreció algo . La verdad servicios de gente no profesional como estas le arruinan el día a quien sea. Come aquí a tu suerte. (Esta foto es mi prueba)

    Heard they have the best lobster roll in the nation so of course, the little food critic that I am…read morehad to come check this place out for myself. They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

Why didnt I get PASTA with my "lobster pasta"? My order says RICE on the side. Your waitress said i told her no pasta. Why would I spend over $65 for ONE DISH with no pasta? She placed me hold as I heard her tell the chef "she said no pasta now she wants it" I did not say that. She asked me about the rice. Your chef got on the phone and said my order says no pasta . Super disappointed that after I spent so much money on my order I didnt get what I ordered. As a business owner I WOULD NEVER EVER complain and argue about a customer who is on the other line and can hear the entire conversation. I NOTED RICE ON side, can you tell me where I put NO PASTA? Your chef said when a customer orders no rice it shows on the receipt no pasta?? This doesnt make any sense Ive attached my receipt to this review, please explain how my meal labeled "lobster pasta" wouldn't come with pasta? Very distrubed how i was talked about with your employees... and very disturbed how your chef tells me what do you want me to do? I can give you something else from the menu but im not going to give you the same meal? I paid a lot of money for this. Unacceptable. I should have been offered the pasta (i ordered with the sauce)

It's an intimate steak & seafood restaurant and I recommend if you want to have a quiet dinner. We started off with the blue fin crudo and everything about this dish was on point. Fish was fresh and the combination of avacdo, the seeds, the sauce, it was all a delicious app put together. Highly recommend this dish! For another seafood dish, we ordered the scallops. This is where it kinda fell short. Usually scallop in my opinion should be a little bit more firm as far as texture goes. I felt it might have been just a little undercooked. Unfortunately, we weren't a big fan of this dish. Presentation looked nice though. We both had one last dish, which was the skirt steak. This dish definitely saved the night. Cooked with perfection and the perfect temp to medium. It paired really well the sauce and the broccolini. Very tender. Good dinner spot for steak, the scallops fell short. That does not mean I won't come back!

They said they can remove protein from pastas like scampi or mac n cheese and just give us dough and butter. Food lacked any flavor or cook or technique and everydish was above 20$. Some drinks straight up taste like turpentine. Service: horrible. I tried to give them benefit of doubt thinking they're inexperienced, but they seem ignorant and rude. They were pretty empty and were so rude about reservations even though we had them. It's also in the packing district with 10 other great restaurants so 100% will not recommend.
