    Michelada

    If you are looking for fresh seafood this please is it. Their tostadas are so delicious and fresh. They don't come on top of a tostada but I'm sure you can ask for that they give you a place full of your choice of seafood and the tostadas on the side so you can make them on your own or eat it like that. Great flavor and so fresh. There shrimp tacos are delicious too very flavorful. Their octopus tacos are good too. Their fajitas are huge and delicious. Love there micheladas. On Saturdays they do have a dj at night so they have karaoke and a lot of good music. The staff is really friendly and attentive. Place is always cleaned and has great atmosphere. Definitely one of my to go spots for mariscos.

    La comida muy buena y la meters muy amable buena energia , musica muy limpio y amable personal

    The meal was absolutely delicious! started off with the Botana de Camaron San Pedro Guisada con Cascara and the shrimp was soooo flavorful in that dish! Also can't beat the $6.95 margaritas that also taste pretty good. By the time my entree arrived I was already pretty satisfied from the chips and appetizer but I managed to eat half and have some nice leftovers.

    The food is so delicious. The prices are cheap compared to other seafood restaurants. Since my first time here 1 month ago I have been there 4 times. They serve food after midnight, the live dj music and karaoke is entertaining. The service is excellent and margaritas are $6.95 and good! Love it here!

    The best shrimp tacos
    Chelsea ..

    I love coming down here! From their plate of camarones a la Diabla to their shrimp tacos are very flavorful. Also they're very quick on serving the food so if you're hungry no problem!

    Best places ever, Tommy best customer service, I recommend the shrimp cocktail, they aren't shy with the shrimp and it tastes amazing.

    Food is good but The Service is very disappointing. There are 3 of us here and ordered 4 Tostada Mixtas and they only give us one tostadas each. When we ask for more they only bring us 2. We ask again and they only bring us 2. I don't understand why. Is there a shortage of Tostadas because of covid now? They have always given a basket full. Even during covide the past 2 years. But today. Extremely stingy with them. Charged for the "extra tortillas"? I know it's only $1.30 but damn! Sounds pretty Petty as Hell to me. I have never been charged for this before here or anywhere. I guess we have to bring our own tostada tortillas before going to eat Mariscos?

    I had a menu from this restaurant for months and decided to try their San Pedro style shrimp…read morefaquita. We were told that it was just like the ones in San Pedro. I've been to San Pedro many of times and I'm sorry but I beg to differ. THIS RESTAURANT is far better than any restaurant in San Pedro. The food was great and in great propositions and the service was excellent. Our waitress was enormously friendly and professional.

    I came with my family on a weeknight and chose this spot because the menu had options for everyone…read more I had checked ahead of time and saw they offer more than just crab, including pasta, chicken dishes, and other types of fish. It's a small hole in the wall place. It's cute, but don't expect a fine dining restaurant experience. They're currently advertising Dungeness crab at $23 per pound, but you don't know how much your piece weighs. Mine ended up costing almost $70, and it was definitely not worth it. That didn't include any sides either, I had to pay extra to add corn and potatoes. I also ordered garlic bread on the side, and it was the worst garlic bread I've ever had. It was soft, soggy, and had absolutely no crunch to it. The kids' chicken tender meal only came with two very small pieces of chicken. I was expecting more for the price. There was only one staff member serving the entire restaurant, and you could tell she was getting overwhelmed. Overall, it wasn't a pleasant experience, and for spending almost $200, I did not leave satisfied.

    Came here last night to eat and had a great time! I ordered the rolled short rib lasagna, the red…read moresauce was delicious and the short rib was so so tender and juicy, the extra Ricotta on top really pulled the whole dish together. The rest of the table got the miso cod, jerk pork chops and the carbonara, everyone gave their dishes 8 out of ten! Our waitress was also very sweet and helpful, would definitely eat here again!

    I recently visited Prose with two girlfriends and had a fantastic experience…read more From the moment we arrived, Niko made us feel welcome and took great care of our table. Paris, our server, was an absolute ray of sunshine. We decided to share a variety of dishes, which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the menu. I don't eat meat, but my fellow diners could not stop talking about the Braised Short Rib Rolled Lasagna. The Lemon Gnocchi was light and delicate, the beet salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, and the Crispy Squash Blossoms stuffed with ratatouille were absolutely delicious. The Cold Hamachi Aguachile was probably the most interesting dish of the night. It's almost like a fish snow cone, which sounds odd until you try it. My mom would call it "moreish" because every bite makes you want another. The Jumbo Prawns à la Plancha were also excellent. But the standout for me was the Eggplant Parmesan. It was completely over the top in the best possible way. If you told me to come back and order nothing but the eggplant and a martini, I'd happily call that dinner. What really stood out beyond the food was the pacing. Dishes arrived at just the right rhythm, the cocktails were excellent, and the playlist somehow added to the atmosphere without competing with the conversation. I took photos of everything, which should tell you how beautiful the food was, but the best part was simply having a genuinely fun evening with friends. Great food, great service, and a restaurant I'll absolutely be back to.

    Some places are here today and gone tomorrow. Others are here yesterday and get better with age…read morelike a fine wine. H. Salt Fish and Chips in Lake Balboa is like a favorite bottle that you don't want to open cause it's so so good nothing compares and yet you must open cause it's so so good nothing compares. They have the best. No I mean the best fish and chips. Not the crud you typically get with the oil that is so rancid you don't know what is worse the fish or oil. I am talking about sweet white fish ( possibly cod) that tastes so good and not fishy at all. The fries are even better than McDonalds so crispy on the outside yet tasty on the inside. Yum. The dips. Are yummy too. They prepare daily their own tartar sauce and cocktail sauce. When there they give you large containers of refrigerated tartar, cocktail , and ketchup. All the best of the best. Beverages are like a smorgasbord of choices including. With and without carbonation. Some dinners include the beverage. Price you won't believe how delicious and yet reasonably priced. Old school all the way. They want to make a little on a lot of people knowing that you will be back. Why- its so good, your body says so. But your mind will even trump that. So where can you find the best of the best two large pieces of fish filet, one really jumbo shrimp, a plate of French fries and sauces to your content for $8.95. (Captains Special). All fish two pieces with fries $6.95. All shrimp three pieces with fries $8.95. Drinks cans and bottles range from $1 to $1.89 ( bargain. I paid 2.99 at 7-11 for same Orange Crush but did get 400 useless points cause each time I update my phone I lose 4000 of them. Summed up. - don't eat fish well than have the best chicken strips. My dad complained. Why. He said that for $5.49 with fries. They gave enough for a family not one person. Their onion rings are yummy. Their Cole slaw they make and if still available at night is so good. So Fish and chips are the best and don't have to be smothered in that horrible hot sauce so you don't get food poisoning. Been their done that. Get really fine fish and chips plus more at a price that you and your family is comfortable with and your taste buds is ecstatic with. You will keep on coming here for years and years like I have, with my family and have continued since my mama passed three and a half years ago but I still feel her presence. With me when taking to go or dining in their quiet quaint dining room .The best is had at the best little fish joint in Lake Balboa -H.Salt Fish & Chips. She ya We are back. Almost once every three days. There food is epic. The fish and chips all star. The jumbo shrimp to write home about. The onion rings a home run. The new fried chicken is fabulous. My dad does not like fish or seafood but he can't get enough of the epic seasoning that is part of the Chicken Breadt Strips Meal. The owner is a doll. She gave us a sample of the new chicken breast a couple of weeks ago last week she we gave a sample of the epic chicken. Tonight a sample ( medium size of her freshly made most delious Cole Slaw). Everything here is made in house with a couple of exceptions. The Tartar and Cocktail Sauce; Cole Slaw; etc are all made in house. They are so wonderful. The taste is beyond compare. You feel you're at you're aunt Peggy's house and she has made you a treat. You are not eating food from a bag, jar, or can. The owner cannot be sweeter and more caring. She makes you feel like no matter your age, you are one of her children. My dad is almost 82 years of age, and he too is treated like one of her one. Please you gotta try H Salt Fish and Chips. But not all at once cause then I will be dad when the lines are out the door!!

    I was really in the mood for fish and chips so I looked this place up on Yelp…read more I watched the food preparer get 3 perfectly triangular pieces of frozen solid fish from a bag; very processed looking. Then batter dip them and put them in the fryer. 20 minutes later I had 3 dense, and hard to chew batter dipped fish jerky. Awful! The most unappealing fish I've ever had. I tried a bite of each one hoping it would be more edible than the first. I was sadly disappointed. Tossed them out and I went else where for lunch.
