    So delicious! Great meal deal for my family of four. And yes, we have returned because they are better than El Pollo Loco! Plus the servers are super friendly and kind.

    Prices are good food is better. Compared to big chain restaurants this alternative is excellent. Tortillas are better here too.

Super fresh, loaded, and jam-packed with flavor. The tacos gobernadores were another 10/10: cheesy, savory, with perfectly tender shrimp. I also tried Sinaloa-style machaca for the first time, served with refried beans and queso fresco. It was a little on the drier side, but still delicious and packed with veggies. The camarones a la diabla had such a flavorful sauce without being overly spicy, served with rice, beans, and flour tortillas. And of course, their tasty micheladas paired perfectly with everything! Definitely check out El Sinaloense and thank me later! One waitress was a lil rude passive aggressive but the next 1 that actually took care of us was very attentive , friendly and helpful. Its a casual family friendly restaurant. #ElSinaloense #ParamountCA #SinaloaStyle #Mariscos #LAEats #FoodieFinds #SoCalFoodie #MexicanFood #Annette7LA

We actually asked for one of the dishes to be replaced, thinking maybe it was just a bad batch, but the replacement came out just as salty as the first one. At that point, there wasn't much we could do. The chefs gotta lay off the salt And the water... I honestly don't know what happened there, but it tasted like I was drinking straight from a water hose attached to the la river bed . I've had better-tasting water in Mexico. The meals were also way overpriced for the quality and quantity we received. As someone who genuinely appreciates Mexican food, this experience was especially disappointing. I'm sorry, but based on what I was served, I just can't consider this genuine Mexican food. I can't recommend this place If you're hungry and looking for a good Mexican meal, I'd suggest searching for another place and skipping this one.

If it weren't for the very loud music playing, I would not have known this was a Mexican restaurant. We ordered Fish and Shrimp Ceviche tostadas, but it was ok not the best I ever had. Tostadas had more Cucumbers and Tomatoes than Fish or Shrimp, and to make it worse, it was soaked in some kind of unidentifiable watery juice which made the hard Tostada soggy. What prompts M E Perihuete to soak a hard Tostada shell with water? unbelievable! The Chilaquiles were bad. They were so spicy I could not taste my food. Overall, the service was bad the lady who served us was busy laughing and giggling with the male customers instead of attending to her tables. I have to say the obvious about the waitresses here, to be as nice as I can put it, their lips stand out as plungers, the chest, and behind well, so obvious they were not normal... The service was bad and the food was not the best. Pricey. Plenty of parking.

The owners are super humble and deeply supportive of the community, which makes me want to back them even more. My go‑tos are the *taco uyi yu yui* and the *tostada pirata (no fish)* always hits.

Place was nearly empty, we still went completely unattended for long stretches of time, orders were all wrong, and the waitress instead of fixing it was argumentative & completely wrong. For example, when I noticed my order was wrong, I told her and she immediately contradicted me to the point that I had to move the meat aside to prove to her that there were no beans on my order when there should've been. Instead of then fixing and apologizing she blamed the chef. When my spouse pointed out what was wrong about her order, she asked us what she wanted her to do with it? Maybe take it back and fix it? It was almost like she was blaming us and expecting us to just take what they brought us even if it was wrong. NOBODY IS TRYING TO PAY FOR THE PLEASURE TO FIGHT WITH THEIR INCORRECT WAITRESS. If you are going to be arguing with your paying clients, the least you could do is be right. They still tried to bill me for incorrect food returned and uneaten. Owner started brining up her video, but failed to address the countless problems and issues that were all over that "video". Eventually the food that was wrong and that was returned uneaten was refunded but it pales in comparison what the afternoon cost me. Please consider going elsewhere and their health code is a C which I did not know.
