    Shrimp cocktail
    Daniele J.

    When you just want good, delicious food now. Quick and very good service. Lots of fun little two and four person seating outside. Shaded seating. The food is delicious. Had to get this shrimp cocktail. Of course it comes with all the fixings. It looks like they also have catering. Can't wait to try that out.

    Yesssss!! Delicious!!! Found this new spot and we are happy!! Fish tacos!!

    Happy people, and great service, fresh, delicious and plenty of seating. Went for a craving and out was perfect. Going back for all their specials!!

    Fish tacos

    Came here with friends before Top Golf in Montebello and ordered 2 fish tacos and a bean and cheese burrito. The food came out in a timely manner and it was decent. My friend paid to be honest so I am not sure how much everything was but I came during Taco Tuesday so there was a deal. I believe it was $1.25 for one taco? The burrito was packed with the perfect amount of bean and cheese and I believe it was less than $5 which I thought was pretty decent! The taco was pretty good! There was a good amount of fish to toppings ratio which was good. We ordered through a window and there was outside seating out front and on the side of the restaurant. Depending on the time of day and the amount of people, you should expect a wait. There was one person taking orders and he would stop between customers to make/distribute completed orders. - There is plenty of street parking. - My friends all seemed to have enjoyed their orders. Overall the experience was good! Nothing that stood out too much.

    Ceviche mixta

    I always go for the fish tacos but this time I wanted to try the ceviche, I got the mixta & it didn't disappoint! I got it to go and the portion was big! Definitely will be coming again for the ceviche!

    I had the fried tilapia, soooo good!! What topped it off was the awesome service given by Gabby who took our order. Kept checking to see if we needed anything else and super friendly. I'll keep coming back.

    Fish Tacos

    We absolutely love their Fried Fish or Shrimp Tacos. We go on Sunday for the Fish or Mondays for the Shrimp because they have price specials on those days. Super friendly workers and owner. Plentiful shrimp and fish with tacos and condiments. They're not stingy at all. Has outside seating with shade but we typically get ours to go. We travel from South Central just for these tacos. Totally worth it! We bought 25 Tacos today, lol.

    6/26/24 Orden de aguachile.  9 camarones.  Mitad cebolla y mitad camarón. Por $6.99.  Que inche robo. Se pasan.
    Mike M.

    The food was okay. But some things are a rip-off like the order of agua chile. 9 fuqen shrimp for $6.99. It was half shrimp and half onion. Don't order this. Or order it with shrimp only. Tacos de camaron were $3.25 for 3 tiny shrimps on each taco. More veggies than anything. Cóctel de camaron was OK. Place disappointed. I'll stick with Tacos Baja in East L.A. I really tried with this spot but felt I got ripped off. Ponganle mas! Nos sean codos!

    Been coming for years at this location. Great prices at good portions. Loved the value meals of fish tacos on Tuesdays/Sundays and I hear the shrimp tacos are great as well. Let me tell you about the Fish tacos: Its a well portioned deep fried crispy fish on two corn tortillas, topped with cabbage, onions, Diced tomato cilantro, Sour cream and a hot sauce, accompanied by a Chile. You can add radishes, lemon from outside the window. It's their signature item. Parking is ok and Bob's Freeze is right next door. On a hot sunny day, this is the place to go for a refreshing meal of ceviche, tostadas and fish tacos and ice cream for dessert next door. I give it 4 stars because they really need to update their Price signs. They have huge advertisements all over but they don't honor it because they've increased their prices. I understand the price of everything has gone up, just change the sign.

    This place used to be good from the old owner. Now the Food was Old and stale. Burrito had no meat. Beware not worth the price.

The service was nice to their customers and were very helpful on what to try out on the menu. The ambiance here was quite nice. Was very spacious and I feel like it would be a great place to hangout with friends and family after a long day of work. Would definitely recommend this place to all Seafood Lovers!

    We got the family pack of the seafood boil and it was huge enough to feed 4 adults if you add two…read moresides of rice and a Cajun fries basket. For the price of food and the amount you get, I can't complain! The flavor of their own seafood boil sauce (boom sauce?) is a standard seafood boil flavor, it's legit. The flavors don't overwhelm you and make you wanna go to the toilet right away, you know what I mean? The family pack comes with 3 corn on the cob, 3 sausage pieces and 3 potatoes (like a medium sized potato!) it was good but I wish the seafood had time to sit in the sauce, you can tell the food was dumped on the sauce. We had to fight to scoop some sauce onto our mussels cause the bag was so full of food- what a good problem to have. Maybe the sauce is a bit thin? Maybe that's why it didn't stick to the food? Service was good, the ladies were attentive and professional. The decor looked like this place was known to be a bar- I mean there's a huge bar to the side. There's even a second floor but no one was seated there so it doesn't look used. Cute decor with the sea theme. Not happy about their toilet in the women's restroom. There's a a sign saying to please not dispose the toilet seat covers in the toilet cause it could clog it up. I was being a nice person and went to the trouble of respecting their wishes. It was gross as I was being careful not to touch the peed parts of the toilet seat cover. Don't judge me, only God can judge me! Come here to feed your family and friends at a very reasonable price! And if you're a lady you're gonna have to hover while you pee if you don't want to deal with the toilet seat cover disposal issue...

We ordered the combo for two, all shrimp (fully peeled for $2.00 extra & totally worth it). We also ordered garlic bread and oysters as an appetizer. Everything came out fast, hot and perfectly cooked. The spice level was just right, potatoes and corn were delicious, soaked in the sauce for a perfect bite. The shrimp were cooked to just the right consistency, not overdone and rubbery. It also came with sausage, which was plump and flavorful. Not too spicy. The oysters were fresh, briny and paired with lots of lemon (upon request) and Tapatio. Delicious! The garlic bread was good, and supported the meal well. Our server, Nick, was great. Attentive, helpful with the menu and Johnny-On-Spot with more napkins, lemons and refills. We got there at around 5:30, without a wait (for a party of two). However, it was already packed, and by the time we left, there was a good amount of people waiting to be seated. The restaurant was clean, lively and bustling. There are even robots rolling around delivering food, utensils, etc. A pretty cool experience. For two people, we had a great shrimp boil with delicious sides, garlic bread and six oysters as an appetizer for a great price. Can't wait to try it for lunch. We'll definitely be back!!
