    breakfast, chicken, specials menu
    Vanessa Q.

    Not a ton of options near the office, but my coworker found this spot and we have zero ragrets. Store is super clean. The staff are really helpful; we managed with my broken Spanish and she had the patience of a saint, while I ordered for 3 people. 3 tamales (chicken and beef), carne asada burrito (byo style), and tacos plate. Chicken pastor was great, tamales were soft and big, and my friend inhaled the burrito. I definitely want to come back and try a breakfast burrito.

    Yelp menu--not accurate

    Food is tasty But prices on the menu on Yelp don't match reality. Kind of feel like a bait and switch...

    No no no no. I soooo wanted to like this place. I read all the reviews. I wanted to try it cuz of the positive reviews. I walked in on Sunday and it was pretty empty. Then I seen the food behind the glass. NONE NONE NONE OF THE FOOD WAS COVERED. My husband hate for us to try somewhere new and me just walk out if I don't like it. So we decided to eat there so I don't embarrass him. I really wish we would have walked out. We tried asada tacos, rotisserie chicken and rice and beans. I gave 2 stars for the rice and beans. I done know how long the chicken was on the fire or how long the asada meat was in that pot. Both meats were a dark color. And the chicken had a weird taste. We should have just gone to Juan pollo. This page is seriously a health risk. Food needs to be covered. And after so many hours in those heat pots, you need to cook fresh food. I felt nauseous after I ate, thank God I didn't get sick. Eat here at your own risk.

    Everything was delicous!

    My husband and I ended up at Keriko after a business meeting, and it's a shame we live 40+ miles away; it was delicious! We ordered various items on their menu; the chicken was juicy, the tacos de asada and al pastor were flavorful, and the sides were delicious. The menu is well-rounded, offering many options. Oh, and they have delicious tamales! I asked if I could order a large quantity, and they said definitely, so that's always good to know. The staff is what stood out to me as well. They were all very attentive, friendly, and efficient. The restaurant is a good space, with plenty of seating, and is very clean--plenty of parking in a decent neighborhood. If I'm ever in the area, I will stop by again.

    Family chicken plate with sides. So juicy and tender

    How do you guys do the tamales? Can I phone in and order it and pick up or do I go inside and order it? I want to know because lately I've been carrying cash.

    What a wonderful surprise! Mariscos El Velero de Ensenada is truly a hidden gem. It may be a small…read morerestaurant, but don't let its size fool you--the food is outstanding, and the service is excellent. Yesterday I had one of their seafood salads, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and you could tell it was made with care. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious seafood, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

    This is one of those places that really needs your Yelp help. It is located in an eclectic…read moreneighborhood, a very rural area called Mira Loma, but on a well-known, main thoroughfare. Google Maps turns you into a dusty asphalt driveway where, in the front is one stucco building that might have been someone's house at one time, and in the back is one very worn, almost sleazy, one-story building where three tiny Mom & Pop businesses compete for space. There is nothing fancy to see here, with the exception of the tiny, covered patio at the entry and a claustrophobic ordering counter on the other side of a sliding glass door. The patio walls are lined with bamboo, a couple taxidermied blue marlin, and some seaside-themed, tropical decor. There are maybe 4 tables and a cluster of chairs. I imagine, in the heat of the summer, it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable in here. And yet, reading the food reviews will make your heart go pitter-patter. Their specialty is mariscos with a Baja spin. Ceviche, shrimp cocktails, fish soup, fish tacos and burritos, to name a few. They also have swordfish and salmon on their menu. We came for the fish tacos and were we in store for a surprise! The chunk of fried fish in each taco was as big as a huge chicken tender. Our tacos were filled with moist, great tasting white fish (not tilapia)! The tortillas, hence, had to be the larger size, not street taco sized. The batter was crispy and exceptional, with a light, herbal flavor. The finishing touch was a pile of toppings, including shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, finely chopped cucumber, and an insanely delicious white crema-mayo sauce. I think the unexpected cucumber added a unique, refreshing element to an already excellent taco. The only downfall was that the corn tortilla fell apart before I could get it into my mouth. Heh, I can live with that...just give me a fork. If you thought the price of 1 taco ($4.50) was too expensive, you are wrong. One taco here is the equivalent of two tacos elsewhere. That's a great deal! This is not fast food. The fish is cooked to order. Plan on a wait. Although this is essentially a covered, outdoor dining enclosure with a dutch door style gate, please note. Pets are not allowed. There is no pet-friendly section, nor shady areas to park in their bleak parking lot. The irony of this was the number of off-leash dogs we saw wandering around the parking lot. We saw three small to medium sized dogs, and no owner. We ended up bringing our food and personna-non-grata pup home. They did a nice job with the fish tacos, and one of their customers assured me the fried and/or grilled shrimp tacos and mojo de ajo shrimp were excellent. This means only one thing...we shall return, but without the chihuahua fur baby.
