Cocktel mixta
E F.

Pretty good stuff, had the tostada mixta which was a plate for two people. The fish tacos were extra crispy on outside and moist on the inside. We will be back!!

Amazing tostada mixta
Cynthia N.

Loved the tostada mixta we also had empanadas but didn't get to take a picture. Definitely coming back for more.

My favorite place of all time. The food is always delicious,…read moreand the service is consistently great. The ambiance is lively and full of energy--so many people enjoying their meals, laughing, and sharing moments with their loved ones. It honestly makes the whole experience even better. I usually order to-go because I'm a messy eater when it comes to seafood boils , but even then, the quality never disappoints. And let's talk about the prices--no one beats them. In my opinion, I actually prefer their crawfish flavor over Drunken Crab or Boiling Crab... but hey, that's just me . Either way, this spot is absolutely worth it every time.

I've been coming to Crawfish since 2015, and I must say their sauce is delicious. I've tried other…read moreseafood boil spots, but this one is still the tastiest to me. Our family of 4 usually orders the family meal with 2 lbs of shrimp, 1 lb of mussels, Cajun fries, and the spicy Boss sauce -- always so good! However, over the last year or so with the new ownership, I've noticed they've been giving less sauce, and now I usually have to buy an extra side with my order. There was also an employee who told me he wouldn't serve me unless I took my water bottle back to the car, which felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. My family and I truly enjoy coming here, so I hope they continue the great quality and customer service we used to receive with the previous owners. Please don't skimp on the sauce -- it's what makes this place so special!

Amazing and fresh seafood. We tried an array of dishes and loved each one. The service was friendly…read moreand very helpful.

We've been to Rosarito Fish Market in San Fernando before, and on our first visit it was really…read moregood. It was so busy back then that there were no tables available. Because of that great experience, we decided to go back after a long time, this time on a Sunday. When we walked in, we immediately noticed a big difference . There were a lot of empty tables. We ordered shrimp cocktails (cócteles de camarón) and sat down. Unfortunately, this time the food was not good at all. The juice in the shrimp cocktail was extremely salty,so salty that I couldn't eat it. I went back to the counter and explained the issue. The girl helping us was very nice and explained that they cure the shrimp with salt since it's not cooked. She offered to remake it, which they did, and I appreciated the effort. However, even the remake just didn't taste good to me. I like my seafood to taste fresh, with a natural seafood flavor not overly salty or loaded with condiments. This experience made me wonder if something has changed at the restaurant, especially since it was so empty compared to our first visit. The staff was friendly and did try to make it right, which I appreciate, but overall this visit was disappointing. Since it's also out of our way and we only stopped because we happened to be in the area, I don't think we'll be coming back. It's unfortunate because our first experience was so much better. The ambiance was pleasant. They had a couple of TVs playing football, music in the background, and the place was clean but the food just didn't live up to our previous experience.

I've been coming here ever since I was very young. I'm out from work on my way home and thought of…read moreplacing an order for pick up so the food could be ready by the time I got there. This was going to be a big order for 6 people. The first thing I did when the lady answered I asked "it's going to be a big order is that okay" and the lady said yes. My total came out to $205. The lady then said she was not going to be able to place the order because it was over $150. I had to show up and place it in person. Unfortunately, they have had people place big orders and they don't pick them up. I understand completely, I offered to give my card so they could charge it but the lady said she could not do that. This was all very unfortunate, I don't have time to show up to the restaurant, place my order and wait another 45 minutes for it to be ready. The restaurant called back saying they spoke with the owner and they were going to be able to process my payment over the phone. Ugh it was too late, I had already placed the order with another restaurant. I hope the owner sees this and comes up with a different strategy to be able to process big ordered over the phone. Or at least tell us before ordering if the phone order is over $150, it has to be placed it person and can not be placed over the phone.

I can't believe I've lived in Sylmar for almost 6 years and somehow never noticed this little gem!…read more From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've escaped to a little beach town in Mexico. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly where you want to be on a hot summer day. The seafood was incredibly fresh and refreshing. I ordered the campechana kora, and my husband had the Aguachiles, both were absolutely delicious and perfect for the heat. What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind, patient, and welcoming. My husband has been practicing his Spanish, and instead of making him feel self-conscious, they were incredibly encouraging and sweet with him. It made the whole meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you forget you're just minutes from home. I can't believe it took me this long to find Ceviches, but it definitely won't be six years before my next visit!

I wanted to get something light and try it out again but get something different while supporting local businesses. Ceviche tostada Marlin - I was really impressed with the flavor, texture and definitely different style of ceviche I've had. This was a hot ceviche almost stew like but it was really good. It's in a tomato and onion and maybe a light or less picante sauce. Really good. Aguachile tostada - Aguachile is my absolute favorite. If memory serves me right I believe last time it was heavy on the cilantro within the jugo or broth its in. This time was perfect. Great heat level. Good amount of onion and pepino. Portion for the price was excellent. Definitely going to have to keep coming here just for this. Pepino con limon agua - Light, not too sweet very refreshing. Got all this to go all for around $22. Great price point. Ceviches I will be back. Oh and the server who took the order was friendly. Inside is very tropical decor and clean.

So first off I wanted to review this as a non-seafood type of guy. My wife and her family/friends…read morelove seafood and they always get the crawfish/shrimp which I nibble on here and there because sometimes I'm forced to go where everyone else wants to go lol. So what's there for a non-seafood guy? Fish and chips. I love fish and chips. My non-seafood people....DO NOT GET THE FISH AND CHIPS HERE. The breading was really mushy and the fish was too and to make it worse it was 70% breading and 30% fish. Super gross. Do yourself a favor and just suck it up and get the shrimp or something. Also, what's up with the Coke Zero machine lol. They got a bad batch of syrup but management won't change it. Service was good though! Staff was friendly and the place was kept up pretty good.

I really love coming to eat here! The service is always great, even when they are short staffed…read more It's so much better than some of the bigger seafood boil restaurants. We started off with some oysters which are $2.50 each and wow, they were huge and fresh! So delicious, they weren't stingy with the limes either. We also got the shrimp lovers combo, which is a pound of shrimp, clams and mussels + 2 corn, 4 potatoes and 8 sausage. So yummy and totally worth the price! It was rough for two people to share on my opinion. They also give you little fried Oreo with ice cream at the end of your meal. So delicious! The place itself it super family friendly but they do have a bar area and happy hour drinks during the week. I'd definitely recommend!

In LA this weekend 6/2026…read more Yesterday 6/27 we visited here for dinner, nice place food was good, they had a lot of snow crabs my boyfriend was cracking most legs and didn't have much meat in them. I decided to go with the Mongolian hot bar I piled on cabbage, all vegetables with one egg and house sauce. I tried the fruit the watermelon and cantaloupe wasn't sweet, however, the honeydew was really yummy. They have a boba drink station I tried the passion tea it was good. My boyfriend tried their desserts he liked the three layer mouse cake. I wasn't aware the Restaurant in LA charge a 10% service fee when I saw it on the bill I immediately was going to question it however, I googled first and basically the restaurants have to post it before charging you. When we walked in we didn't notice the signs on the wall if you don't pay attention you will miss the notice as you walk in. The 10% is to help the owner offset gratuity and healthcare for the employees so you have no choice but to pay it even if you didn't see the posting on the wall. They also have a sign to say a tip is not required because of the service fee.

Wow. .... Gourmet city where have you been this whole time?…read more Anyway Im so glad I finally found you! Came here with classmates to celebrate ourselves, and why not with the abundance of food at Gourmet City. One of our classmates recommended this place and glad she did because I am not going to stop coming here after this. Where do I start? Upon entrance you are greeted by a lovely marble floor and grandiose chandelier and beautiful sign. The place is clean and very open, plates and drinks are open and all station very kept up with. My mongolian grille plate was soooo good and cooked to order(added jalapenos,bell peppers red&green,mushrooms,cabage, garlic and beef. It was so delicious! Second plate, was good to LOL a lottttttt of crab legs which the price for itself at this point, Shrimp broil style, thai style,scampi. Theres pasta,ribs,salad. But also desserts like ie chocolate fountain OMG, jello and the fresh fruit was so delicious. I waited all day for this place and Im so glad I did. I had a little bit of everything and cant wait to bring my son and husband. Servers were attentive,served water and utensils at all times. Parking was easy at 330ish time but I can imagine it could get difficult. Thank you!
