Don't go here!!!! Unless you want to pay for fun size, flavorless shrimp cocktails. This place has gone down the drain, food is bland and hardly any veggies in the cocktails and ceviche. We paid 60 bucks for 3 fun size cocktails and one ceviche. I would not be returning and telling my family not to go. I have no problem paying for food, I get it everything is expensive. But this was a rip off. read more

Generational favorite. Ceviche de pescado y de camarón , cóctel mixta también. Been coming since I was 6; now it's my turn with my kid. Counter dude gives "no soup for you" vibes if you hesitate, so decide fast and you are golden. Still a must!!! read more

Customer service is horrible! Idk if that was the owner or not, if it was then damn! No hospitality at all. Also, the only " cold" food is ceviche, the coctel, Campechana etc- are hot.. Lastly, coctel de Camaron is just that. Just shrimp with nothing else in hot soup. The cashier also lost his s*it cause i changed my mind on what I wanted to eat. I was about to leave but drove out here for this. Ambiance? It's hot af with no AC. The food? Meh. And no avocado, no tomatoes or any veggies in ur coctel. Also fried food? Shrimp tacos ? Good luck! They stop serving hours before. Abalon? Good luck they out of that also! Why this place get good reviews again? read more

Just moved in to the city. Gave it a try. Never again. NO FLAVOR what so ever. Waste of money.

I have been dining here since 1994 and I have always ordered the cocktail de Cameron with warm broth . It's absolutely the best . This place is a small hole in the wall but always busy and very well known for all their fresh ceviche's and cocktails. When in the area a must try . read more

I've been coming here since 1991 and the consistency in the food and service from the family has always been exceptional. I recommend the shrimp cocktail and the ceviche. Never disappoints. read more

Best ceviche love, love, love! Been going here for over 9 years and they're the best!!

Only reason I will cross Garfield or go on Florence or gage. There isn't anything good for me over them except pollero 95. Pollero 95 stats true to their valves and virtues. It doesn't deviate from its path of truths Pollero 95 won't cheat on me or lie to me or even try to bite me. Only protein for 12$ 2024 made it go up a dollar I think. But I get it. Inflation Demand and supply Kind of don't want to write the review because I ask people locally and they don't even know the gem that they live next to. But I tell everyone I know to go there. I plan on doing a feature story on the owner if he allows it. read more

Still one of the best marisco restaurants around. It's small but not too small, and the selection of items is not over the top, which lets them concentrate on making the best of the dishes that they serve, all that more delicious. read more

Best mariscos . Everything fresh and service it's really good I love everything and the tostada very delicious

I've been going to El Pollero 95 for several years. This is definitely the spot if you want fresh, no added fuss, delicious ceviche! Located in the back of the building with plenty of parking and a neighboring alley for a quick in and out. The staff is friendly, quick, and efficient in getting your order ready. Space is limited, and if you're lucky you'll find an empty table; and you might need to wait to be seated. But it is definitely worth the wait. My go-to is the shrimp ceviche and it never disappoints. It always seems to satisfy the craving. Oh and most importantly, CASH ONLY! read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid my dad showed me this place always loved this ceviche I hate to give it 3 stars but every time I come the guys attending look like they don't want to be here they don't give attitude but the way they speak and attend you is in a manner where they don't want to be working there I do recommend the ceviche hopefully they can improve on that read more

El Pollero 95 - Campechana mixed - Mexican Near Me - Bell, California

Classic spot from the 90's its a hole in the wall but everything is good as far as seafood

A real gem a must try if you haven't. The food is always fresh and authentic. You can salt it to your liking.

Let me start off by saying I've been going to this place since I was a kid ... at least 25 years. It's always been amazing, their fish ceviche is one of a kind. Well it was, I was there on 10/31/20 to pick up an order and service was awesome !! That is the reason I gave them 2 stars instead of 1. I raved about this to my friends for years and when I finally share some with them, it was gross. It doesn't have the taste that made it so good. The chunks of fish were super fishy, it also looked a little different. Maybe different cook? Different fish ? Or both??! ..... it was just a huge letdown. Terrible tasting ceviche that we had to throw out. Their tostadas and customer Service were the only plus to this. Mind you I went out of my way and drove out just for this food. read more

El Pollero 95 - Fish Ceviche - Mexican Near Me - Bell, California

This place means every thing to me. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember and it has always been so delicious. It's simple and hits the spot every single time. Had to order one for each of us as there is never sharing when we come here. The tostadas oh man the tostadas are top notch and I can never get enough of them. I lick the plate clean every single time. Seating is limited so if you get a seat, great! If not, it can easily be taken to go and enjoyed elsewhere. The flavors burst in your mouth and my mouth is watering just typing this. This will always be my go to ceviche spot. read more

Ceviche and coctel always hit the spot, my favorite, shrimp is so fresh and the fish on the ceviche so good

Pls change your hours to be correct to when you actually close...such a bummer to drive out, get there at 4:25, and it's closed. Thru google and yelp you guys have it posted that closing is at 5pm I called and was told the actual closing time is 4:30... read more

My lovely friend visiting from Vietnam was feeling like ceviche so I brought her to El Pollero 95 and it did not disappoint. We ordered the fish ceviche and hot coctel de camaron & pulpo. Both were 10/10, and portions were great for the cost. read more

Ufff vengo aquí desde niña... muy rico el cóctel con caracol, un ceviche de pescado, dos aguacates y una coca por favor....el servicio es rápido, siempre está limpio, y tranquilo. read more

I've been coming here since I was kid, maybe 20 years as my favorite ceviche place. It's sad, this place is way over priced now, portions are significantly less, and quality is a average. It's 2023, you are not going to survive much longer being an all cash business only and sending customers next door to use the ATM that charges $4. Potential tax evasion aside, we are living in a customer service first world now. I will have to finally find a new place or make it myself for 1/4 the price. read more

Too expensive and the service sucks. The ceviche is good but the quality, portions and taste has finished greatly for some time now. Step your game up EP95 or stay behind! read more

What a gem for ceviche- This is strictly a Covid lockdown review for a takeout experience since I haven't ever dined in, but would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Truly one of the best spots for ceviche, and a place that I can easily award a 5/5 for the quality of seafood they have to offer. read more

Aweeee yeahhhhh! Best ceviche and tacos in town! If you're on the fence, just do it

I been going here since 2021. Best fish ceviche in Southern California. I moved out of state but when beck in town I always stop by for my ceviche fix read more

I've been a loyal customer for over 25years! I've been coming here since I was a kid so I know when things are different. I drove 20miles just because I know how delicious their cocteles and ceviche are. Oh boy I'm not sure what is going on but I seriously got the worst cocteles ever! Shrimp and octopus was horrible and not to mention the broth taste was by far the worst I've ever had! I had to throw all my food away! Funny but after leaving I spoke to my family that live around the area and they said the same! I'm so sad because this is not only my favorite spot but also my family's. Please fix the problem ASAP! read more

I have to say that this whole in the wall joint is just the best kept secret in Bell. This has not only become a landmark but it's a must come by if your in the city. I've been coming to this place even before it was in its current location. When you first drive by it you might miss it if you blink but the parking lot full of cars will give it away. Inside while small and noisy it's welcoming and you feel at home. Food- the ceviche is one to write home about this is the best make sure you ask for extra tostadas and an avocado . The coctel de Camaron is not cold but hot and extremely savory not fancy about the coctel just great mixtures of flavores and they give you plenty of shrimp. The fish tacos (only served on weekends) are also great and you can actually taste the fish not just batter like other places. Great food what else is there to say. Must stop by nothing fancy just some of the best seafood you will ever taste! read more

This location has been open for a king time you can tell by the old Mexican celebrities in the photos on the wall. This a hole in the wall type of place with a small amount of seating. We usually stop by and pick up some cups of ceviche to take to LA beaches and eat once we are there. My favorite thing to get is the fish ceviche but have tried almost everything there. Not your typical ceviche pretty just fish and cilantro you have to get some avocado on the side to add on. I load up the ceviche with tapitio avocado and salt and eat with the tostadas. The shrimp tacos with potato and ice are also delicious. Only problem I have is that they don't take cash. read more

My favorite place to buy a HOT SHRIMP COCKTAIL and the TOSTADAS are 10 out of 10. I've been buying from this place for the last 28 years

I've been going here for over 30 yrs. Lived across the street and honestly. This is the best ceviche in town. I notice alot of bad reviews saying it changed..maybe your tastebuds ain't working the same, I know covid affects taste cause to me it has the same taste since 1991. Maybe you changed. Everytime I go even since the 90s. I always get treated with respect and great customer service. This place will never go out of business. For all the bad reviews and people talking shit. try ceviche loco where the Der wienerschnitzel used to be if you like eating shit. El pollero is the best in Bell read more
