    Beef Hardshell Tacos

    Little hole in the wall gem I found while headed back to Ventura. Was busy on a Sunday (love that for them) and still service was great & quick. The food... immaculate. We got two cocas mexicana, a jicama juice, chile rellano plate, a beef hardshell taco, and the chilaquiles plate that surprisingly came with papas. I'm sort of a rice & beans fanatic (I have been on the hunt to find refried beans that remind me of my abuelita's recipe) and these were great especially with the fried eggs.

    Grabbed a breakfast burrito to go after calling ahead. Quoted 15-20 minutes and it took exactly that. Eggs, bacon, cheese, potatoes and pico. Super delicious and plenty for the hubs and me. $10.68 was a fair price. Restaurant was pretty full for Thursday mid-morning but it's pretty small, so I'm glad I ordered to go. Nice small shop and on-site baked goods for any home needs.

    Caldo de Pollo

    La Fondita is the kind of place your grandma would run if she had a restaurant. It's small and family run with a cute shop next door that has panaderia, sodas and candy. We had menudo and Caldo de pollo and both were excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. They take pride in their doors and you can taste it. We will be back!

    First time coming here and will come back again.  Tried their menudo, tamale and it is really good!

    Its our first time coming here and will be back again. Their food is great taste like home cooked meal.

    Horchata

    The horchata was refreshing had a rich a creamy taste. Chilaquiles were a bit bland, but I enjoyed the bistec with the potatoes. Had a nice spice them.

    Chilaquilles plate
    Vincent M.

    Nothing on my plate was hot. It's like they opened cans and jars, mixed the ingredients in a bowl and unappetizingly plated it. How even the eggs were cold is beyond me. Never had chilaquilles cold. And I'm pretty sure it's not them trying out a new way to cook the dish. It's not a 1 star because they cooked me new eggs. I'm extremely easy to please. How a mexican restaurant can mess this dish up this badly is beyond me.

    It supposed to be rajas con queso ..

    If i can give 0 stars I would ... Poor costumer service !.. I bought tamales there because I herd people talking about them doing them good but literally noo they are trash .. I got several without anything inside just the masa ..

    Bistec ranchero, great plating!

    Great tasting food and good service. The tortillas were fresh and if you drink they have all your favorite beverages.

    Best homemade tortilla I've ever had! The Chile relleno and chimichanga were both amazing. Will definitely be back.

The service is always fast, friendly, and welcoming, and it's honestly one of the easiest restaurants in Fillmore to recommend with complete confidence to anyone visiting town. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The margaritas and micheladas are off the charts! generous pours and huge compared to the tiny drinks you get at so many other Mexican restaurants. The food is consistently great too. My personal favorite is the Pollo Tampiqueño, but their Molcajete, fajitas, albondigas, homemade tortillas are all amazing and definitely one of the highlights of the menu. Their signature seafood plates are absolutely worth trying. If you're anywhere near Fillmore, El Pescador is worth the drive. Family owned with great food, great people, great atmosphere, plenty of parking, and the kind of local restaurant that keeps people coming back.

Our waiter came over with menus and was very helpful with a few questions that we had. We ordered a Molcagete, which is a lot of food and can definitely be shared with 2-3 people. We also ordered a camarones costa azul plate. Everything was so delicious, but the molcagete was my favorite. Another great thing about this restaurant is that they hand-make their tortillas right there. I loved the warm, hand-made tortillas. I also had a spicy margarita, which was amazing. The restaurant had so much space, a bar area, and can definitely be a great place for large parties. I loved El Pescador, and I can't wait to go back and maybe try their lunch specials.
