At the moment only the outside is open First time here and I loved it! We got a taco de pescado and a cocktel de camaron. 2 agua Fresca: Jamaica & maracuya The tacos are hearty and so delicious! The cocktel was so refreshing on a summer day. Both agua frescas were good and not too sweet. Service is super fast and they have a good amount of seating outdoors. The perfect summer meal! read more

Had not been here for a while, before would visit once a week. Food is fair, price is okay. Unfortunate order taker is apathetic, we almost walked out. She doesn't give a friendly greeting or a smile less offer any information. The music was very loud and had to ask if they can lower, which was difficult to do. Eventually the music was lowered. Disappointed with our experience, so it may be a while before returning. read more

I have been coming here since I can remember. It's a childhood gem. The prices went up but they give fresh quality seafood.

Everything is good! Especially the zarandeado tacos! The consomé is fire and you get one free cup with your order. Good, fresh seafood! You can call ahead and they have a very big patio for nice summer dining. I've even brought my pups! read more

Found it by accident, in an industrial neighborhood near the Citadel. Food was incredibly good! I'd go out of my way to go back!

Had a small problem with my order, had to drive back but they fixed it and made it right. Food is great, will be giving them my business again read more

Great food! I've read some of the bad reviews, some people just don't know really good Mariscos. ‍

First time trying this Restaurant, heard a lot of hype...but honestly the fish and shrimp tacos are nasty.... 1. no flavor what's so ever 2. They are passed over Fried 3. They put to a full pile of cabbage more than (Shrimp or Fish) 4. The Taco broke apart once holding it up (Made a total mess) I also ordered a Tostada mixta and I didn't even eat it just picked around it and threw it away.... It was all jaiba more than anything. Very little of shrimp,Octopus or scallop. It was a waste of money for my first experience, Just killed my craving for eating mariscos for the day. Very disappointed and Upset never again. read more

Cash only. Private parking lots. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages - wide selection. I've only been to a couple of these types of places & I'm always wanting ceviche. This time, it was an order of fish tacos, shrimp tacos, and a small cocktail. Oh, I forgot about the imitation crab on a tostada... yes, a very large order was placed. I keep forgetting how largely portioned everything is and tend to over order what my stomach can handle before going into food coma. I would recommend ordering 1-2 items off the menu for starters as you could always order more later. My favorite was the octopus cocktail - it came with slices of avocado, saltine crackers, cilantro, etc. I added lime juice and some of the hot sauce that was on the table for added flavor & spiciness. The shrimp and fish were both lightly fried & were topped with shredded lettuce and either pico de gallo or salsa. The tostada was layered with diced tomatoes, some onions here and there and imitation crab and slices of avocado. Tasted kind of plain, so I added some lime juice. There is seating inside - good for groups. 1 TV & lots of sea/beach decor. Good price for the amount of food you're getting. Come hungry. read more

Never disappoints. Tacos de camaron? Bomb. Ceviche? Bomb. Cocteles? Bomb. When your in a market that is Los Angeles, it's saturated with a lot of seafood competition. This is a gem, and the staff are very helpful. I always come here when I have a craving for mariscos that has been around for decades. read more

Not satisfied with the food... I decided to try this place since the reviews seem alright... 1st note the rice tasted old and stale. The shrimp was dirty and why is there salad on the burrito?i didn't expect large pieces of carrots in the burrito. I only ate 1/3 of it because I was hungry . The dining room was extremely small only 3 tables were inside which were all occupied. The patio is bigger but it's summer and the heat it didn't make this meal pleasant.. read more

Dropped in and tried the delicious fish ceviche (sad they were out of shrimp). Super yummy and really good portions even for the small size. Also loved the soup and crispy shells that came with the fish. Lots of outdoor seating too. read more

This is and always will be my favorite fish taco place. The tacos seem a little smaller than I remember, but still so much flavor!!!

Food was ok. Aguachiles are spicy, extremely spicy!! Only reason im rating this review a 3 stars is because of the cashier. The cashier needs to learn how to communicate with people. Took 30 min to receive our food read more

If you like Mexican seafood, man is this the place! I've been coming here for a few years, and it's so good! I usually order the breaded shrimp plate (camarones empanizados) and the Campechana, which is the greatest Shrimp Cocktail ever. It has shrimp, octopus, oysters, etc, seriously one of the best. The breaded shrimp are so tasty and come with tartar sauce to make them even better. The fish and shrimp tacos are huge and totally delicious. They come with so much shrimp and fish and are served on 2 corn tortillas with lots of cabbage. They also sell beer and wine coolers, if you want to enjoy a Corona with your Shrimp Cocktail. All of the food here is good, inexpensive, and comes in pretty big portions. They're cash only and there is not an ATM near by, so be prepared and come with cash. It is in East LA, so it's not the nicest place or in the nicest part of town, so make sure you lock your car and enjoy. :) read more

Delicious food and affordable prices. Bomb ceviche tostadas and the fish tacos are amazing. Worth the drive!!!

You'd be surprised at how delicious their fish and chips are here! I come here often with my family for the shrimp tacos, they're fully loaded and good to the last bite. Both the fish&chips and shrimp tacos are enough to drop by for a bite. They also have a variety of micheladas available that I've yet to try. If you enjoy reasonably priced mariscos this is a great place to try! read more

Too bad yelp won't allow you to use minus starts!... I was passing through and look at their menu (fish tacos & shrimp tacos) by the pictures looks good (even though you can't see the fish nor the shrimp) I decided to stop by and eat!.... My worse $10.95 I have ever spent in my life!!!!!... The shrimp and fish are breaded and deep fried.... STORE BOUGHT CRAP!.... Nothing is fresh except the half of pound of cabbage on top with sour cream and salsa. If you ever want to try some good fish tacos, go try fish taco express (1mile away) or baja fish tacos (about a mile away too)....I hope I don't get diarrhea with this crap of food!!!!! read more

Just another day for you and me in Paradise. ..If anything, it's more of a mirage, cause there are a few good places to eat at in Commerce, but this place stands out around factories, the Citadel, and train tracks. You like Sea food? I love it, and why? Cause this place is La Bomba!! I can't help coming back. for their Shrimp Tacos. Yummy breaded shrimp over 2 tortillas with cabbage sour cream, and their mild sauce that will bring any other seafood place on their knees. Well priced and great portions. Cocktails, fish and oysters rock, and a nice cold brewsky to go with it is satisfying enough to come back again, and again, and again. Gimme two tacos, one Campechana, and my Tapatio sauce, and get out of my way. read more

Quantity is no substitute for quality. Sure the fish and shrimp tacos are monsters, but they don't even taste that great. This place is no paraiso. I don't have a problem with the shady neighborhood or the dirty tables but I do have a problem with the food. We ordered 1 shrimp taco and 1 fish taco and the total was over $6. We were a little shocked by the price but when the tacos arrived, I understood why they were so expensive. These things were the size of burritos. There was so much fish and shrimp and cabbage and sauce that I felt like I was eating a tostada. There was no way to pick up the tacos until the very end. I felt like I was eating cheap fish and chips and shrimp out of the freezer section of the supermarket. It seemed like the seafood was breaded with some sort of bread crumb mix. I'm not Mexican but I have been to Mexico and I've eaten a lot of fish tacos and I don't think that's the type of batter you're supposed to use for fish tacos. But then again, everyone else in the place looked Mexican so maybe I'm wrong (please don't hurt me). Although El Paraiso was a huge letdown, I do have to say that the guy across the street who sells street tacos at a stand is amazing. That taco al pastor was the best I've ever had. read more

Worst mariscos place ever!!!! 1. No credit or debit CASH ONLY 2.the coctel was nasty and had no flavor 3. Shrimp was nasty! Made me wanna throw up. Never going back. Don't waste your money! Go somewhere else read more

This place is ok. Nothing too special. You get your money's worth. I still think that El Jato is THE place for mariscos in East LA. The tostadas and cocteles are good. Should I ever go back, I'll try the tacos since my brother swears they're the best he's ever tasted. read more

Place uses frozen bags of fish and shrimp for their burritos/tacos, so don't expect anything great from them. Walk in today because this place is local to me, stand at the counter for a good couple of minutes. Two workers look at me, don't acknowledge me, and keep on doing what they were. Cool, not like I'm trying to give you my money or anything. I left because well, do I need to sat more? read more

Went here for a jaiva tostada and a small cocktail. The cocktail was good and had plenty of shrimp. It was cash only, but for about 4 people it cost about $27 which was really good. They are fast and have a t.v. I came on a Sunday and they were nice enough to change the channel from soccer to a Raider game. It was a clean place and has parking on the side on a private lot. Overall I would come again if I was in the area. The attire is super casual, no need to be fancy. read more

El Paraiso - Jaiva and Chico cocktail - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Huge fish tacos, I love the spicy, creamy sauce they put on here better than Tacos Baja Ensenada. They're bigger than over there too. This is a little place I can never remember the name of, but I know the way there by heart. Food is authentic and fresh, although it is a little divey it feels comfortable to me. A lot of locals eat here and it isn't really advertised. It's always my first choice for fish tacos, and the campechana is pretty good too. They only have Jarritos but that's cool. The beers are pretty cheap. They have private parking lots both on the side and across the street. Cash only. Don't let it fool you, this place is great. read more

Food: This place has the best fish tacos and shrimp tacos. Mexican style of course! The seafood is fresh, breaded and fried to perfection. It's placed in a generous heap on top of a corn tortilla with plenty of cabbage, white sauce and sabor. Just squeeze a lime and a dash of tapatio and you're mouth is ready to party. The mexican style shrimp cocktails are pretty awesome as well. The broth is good with all the right ingredients (fresh avocado..yummy). Again just add a touch of ketchup if you want a heavier broth and some dashes of tapatio for a kick. Delicious and refreshing. Price: Best deal in town. Last time I was there I think the tacos were like $2. Pretty good considering the amount of seafood you get in one taco. I use a fork to pick up the food that falls off as I stuff my face and I get full with 2 tacos. Ambiance: It's in East LA. I grew up in the area so it doesn't seem bad to me but I guess it really isn't so nice a neighborhood at times. Just go in, mind your business (don't stare at anyone) show respect (be polite, please and thank you) and get your food. You can eat there or take it to go. And as someone said below...don't forget to lock your car. The food is worth the trip! read more
