I come here at least twice a month for the past 3 years but Sunday was my last time. Salsa had no taste AT ALL it was missing everything, my girls omelet was missing sausage and bacon and still charged her the full amount, they forgot cheese on my surf and turf taco so I let the waiter know and he took my plate to correct it. After I was done eating my fish tacos and and about to pay the waiter came out with my surf and turf taco. Thanks for the memories time to find a better restaurant and good luck to our waiter who looked like a bootleg version of Jaws from the James Bond movies read more

The local Mexican restaurant, I had to try it! My husband & I ordered: SMALL MOLCAJETE SINALOENSE - The small is more than enough to share for at least 2-3 people! It's super flavorful & filled with lots of seafood. We didn't care for the cactus itself but the flavor was all there. It was way too much cheese for my liking but if you're a cheese lover this has your name written all over it! It comes with your choice of corn or flour tortilla and rice. OCTOPUS TOSTADA - They definitely do not skimp on the octopus/ seafood! I couldn't even finish because there was so much. It was really fresh! I was hopping this would come with tostada but mines only came with 2 big slices of cucumber. It's pretty spicy & very flavorful. CUSTOMER SERVICE - They were very quick & friendly! No complaints. I'm glad there's a restaurant like this right by my house. read more

I have been to the restaurant 1 time. Service was horribly slow. I walked in with my 2 young children as we noticed that there was only 1 other table being served. We took a seat and waited 44 minutes for our food to be served. We watched as the other table was served food and beer after beer. The waitress only came to our table 1 time. We ordered some fried seafood - calamari and I forget the other items. I mainly remembered the calamari because it was burnt to the crisp and a complete waste of my time and money. My kids were laughing because the food was literally black. There is no way I would recommend this place. read more

It was my birthday and we were visiting San Diego. My gf and I wanted some mexican food and yelp recommended this place. It did not dissapoint. Slightly rainy day and cold weather, we arrived with plenty of seating available since it was a Monday late afternoon. Sat in the outside area, a wooden construct with a water fountain. Couple of curious birds flew in hoping for some nibbles. Pretty cute I would say. Gf ordered the Mojarra Frita and I got the Aguachile Appetizer. Also got a Michelada to go with the food. Less than 10 mins, food arrived, the waitress stated that because the tilapia was a bit small, they doubled it up for us. Wow! Thank you very much. The tilapia was extra crispy just like she likes it, the Aguachile was served in a molcajete and it was a very gracious portion. The tostada chips provided with the Aguachile was also extra crispy. No joke when I say that. I tried to break a piece and I punched a hole through it (picture proof). Now that is crispy and delicious complimenting the sourness of the shrimps. The waitress came by occasionally to check on us to make sure we were doing okay and if we needed anything else. Thumbs up for the great service! Very satisfied with the food and service. Definitely will be returning. We left very full and sleepy. By the way, restrooms are also very clean and well maintained. read more

4.5 this is really good Mexican, Sinaloense style!! The place is cute on the inside and kinda takes you to Mexico. The place gives you good chips & salsa to start things off. They also bring you this house soup which is delicious. My girlfriend & I ordered pozole & aquichiles. The pozole was really good, we both loved the rich flavors. The pozole bowls aren't as big as most restaurants but it is big enough. The aquichiles is huge, you can split it with multiple people. The aquichiles were also really good and definitely worth trying out if you like marinated shrimp with cucumbers & onions in a spicy green sauce. Strong Mexican vibes and occasional mariachis make this a must try Mexican place for seafood lovers. Definitely recommended & happy eating! read more

Traditional Mexican mariscos spot, over all the ambiance was good and service was great. The portions are pretty big, my kid couldn't finish her kids taco plate lol. My husband pointed out that the food was a bit greasy, but it ain't Mexican if it asking greasy let's be honest lol. I came during the week, but I heard they have live band on the weekends. The restaurant is small and parking can be limited, but over all it's a good spot for Mexican and mariscos. The restrooms are located outside and around the restaurant building which was odd, but no biggie. read more

This vendor was at the Mariachi Festival I attended on Sunday. Since I wanted to try a variety of food items at this event, I decided to get some ceviche at this booth after having an arepa. The fish ceviche looked tasty, so I ordered that. It came with two tostadas and some spicy sauce (if preferred). The ceviche tasted great since I was still hungry, but after a while, the fish tasted weird. There wasn't much flavor after the sauce was gone and I ended up not finishing the rest. I'm a big fan of ceviche, so it was pretty disappointing for me. However, I loved the perfectly ripened avocado they added on top and the tostada was also fresh and crunchy. I hope their food is much better at their restaurant though. read more

La Sinaloense Restaurant - fish ceviche and two tostadas with their spicy sauce on top - Mexican Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Absolutely great tasting Mexican food, in a real Mexican restaurant that has a beautiful presentation. My absolute favorite meal of day is breakfast, and I am a hash brown guy. They have the best hashbrowns I've ever had in my life and find out they make fresh every morning. The only reason why I am not giving five stars is that there prices is a little bit high for my taste and parking is extremely minimal. All the food there is worth it and you get your moneys worth. read more

The shrimp. The culichi. The sopa. The throat-punching salsa! The food is actually quite good! And it is also prepared with care. Fresh, flavor-forward and massive in the serving sizes. Two adults can eat well here for $25. No problem. If it weren't for the atmosphere and the service, I would be giving La Sinaloense five stars. However... The place draws some loud, belligerent patrons. People, I love seeing others in a jovial and happy mood. But, alas, as with every single thing involving human beings, there is always an extreme case. One party in particular was so loud and boisterous But it seems the staff and other patrons are used to this kind of action because most every other person in the room was staring stone-faced into their shrimp tacos. And this went over for the entire duration of a long dinner. On top of that, our server was quite attentive and kind at the start, but became quite absent after taking beer after beer with an adjacent table. The kicker was was going up front to pay and her saying she would, instead, come for the checks. We were already running late for another appointment, largely because we were having a difficult time getting her attention at that point in the evening. Verdict: I like what La Sinaloense has going. Mostly chill ambiance (thought the music and music videos playing are entirely too loud) with a covered patio and faux fire pit. And most of the team members are attentive and helpful. But, my goodness, the place can also be stress inducing in the worst way. read more

The Yelp reviews are reliable, I can attest after my long overdue visit. We tried the shrimp cocktail which must have had a pound of Mexican sweet shrimp in it...yes that could have used a bit more Clamato but I appreciated the ketchup on the side as I don't like my shrimp cocktail too sweet and ketchupy! The favorites were the garlic fish taco that was the best fish taco I have ever had... Flavorful garlic with tons of flaky mild fish accompanied by a chipotle cabbage slaw presented like a five star restaurant. Tacos are really well priced for quality and quantity ! Also the tostadas are Off the charts with the aguachile which is a shrimp ceviche that is Mexican Raw shrimp in a flavorful cilantro Chile sauce but I wish the shrimp was chopped like at Karina's bc the whole Raw shrimp is tough To mentally process.. haha. Also the mixed seafood tostada was delicious with octopus, shrimp,scallops and unfortunately some surimi fake crab which we are not fans of but overall excellent and I think only 8 bucks :.. a ridiculous steal!! This restaurant is the real deal..lots of patio space and wonderful service.. yes you are looking out at Jamacha road... This ain't no San Diego bay view but if you want authentic Mexican cuisine with low prices and quality food this is the ticket. Good prices and huge portions with fresh quality seafood will make me return like...tomorrow!!! read more

I didn't even bother to take pictures, the waitress that received us was very rude always just talking and asking questions to my husband she ignored me all the time she brought me the nastiest mango margarita!! She took forever to ask us for our order and when I asked her when will she will help us she told me to wait that she was busy with the table next to us that just arrived n we were there for at least 20 min her name is PATY rude disrespectful waitress! She send someone else, it was this other girl her name was MAYRA I think.....very nice and always asking us if we needed anything else and this young man very nice too. Our bill was almost 300.00 and when we were about to pay PATY comes ask my husband if she could take the card I said no....but she took it any way.... The restaurant is not the same the employees are not the same except for MAYRA AND THE YOUNG MAN. The place is not what it used to be. I would never go there ever again ! We used to go with friends like 2 times a month and me n hubby like other 2 a month by ourselfs.....not going bk. read more

This place has great food but the take out portions seem too small. We ordered the green aguachiles ,paid $30 plus tax, and went home. Once we opened the take out box the portion seems way to small for $30 worth. As I started digging in we found a hair. I called the place and I had to drive back to get my refund. Super inconvenient and my appetite was gone. Make sure you double check your order before leaving. read more

It was surprisingly good experience since the place's location and appearance can be deceiving. Salsa that comes complimentary with chips needs a little bit of work. It was bland mostly tasting like plane tomatoes Ceviche was great, but to my taste I'd ad a bit more lime juice to it. This is awesome place to watch some sports events as they have TVs though out the restaurant and pay premium sports package. If you haven't been here out it on your bucket list for sure read more

My third time having authentic mariscos ... and this little place with the big patio was very traditional. I love shrimp and I wish I knew all the preparations so I could've ordered something more interesting. I was too shy to keep asking questions of our server. Definitely will study up for next time. Some items don't have prices, and if it's only 2 people it's important because the mocajete was giant. I've never had one and I loved the grilled shrimp and flour tortillas, however the carne was a bit fatty and chicken not very flavorful. The fresh avocado and rice and beans were very nice accompaniment, fresh salsa was spicy but not overly hot. I wish the happy hour stuff was listed on the menu, so I could check out the specials. Music was super loud and fun, but hard to carry a conversation for me. Our tacos were great, shrimp and fish classics at a very reasonable price. Overall a really good meal and location close enough to try some aquachile next time! read more

I was expecting more because of the great reviews. Or not sure if the Chula Vista location is better. Found this place on Yelp & decided to drive out to it. I had the mojarra frita plate. Looked great but was dry so I asked for side of butter, it made it better. My flour tortilla on the side for the plate was toasted & stale. The beans were salty not sure if they are always like that & honestly tasted like they were canned beans or sitting in the fridge for at least 3 days. The tortilla bowl the beans are served in was very stale as well. Husband had the shrimp molcajete agua chile. Our bill came out to $51. It was an early lunch, We ordered two sodas, 1 mojarra frita which was just $12 & 1 molcajete. So assuming molcajete must have been $28+. If the food only tasted as great as it looked maybe that's why I think Molcajete definitely not worth $28+ for quality of food we got. The service was nice which is why I give them 3 stars. This location is a hole in a wall place but we don't mind going out of our comfort zone to get great traditional yummy food. We were willing to try because usually it is the holes in the wall places that will serve you great home cook quality traditional dishes. But this wasn't it. In my opinion, you can get similar pricing with better quality Mexican seafood elsewhere. read more

I am not known to to decline a good fish taco, and when one of my colleagues told me about this little place, I figured I stop by after work on my way home. I ordered a pair of battered fish tacos, and asked them to go light on the sauce. The tacos arrived looking good and the fish was perfectly fried (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-sinaloense-restaurant-spring-valley?select=cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA#4xjkFMM458KOGDvEoyD2OQ) The batter was very crispy and a deep golden brown, and I like the light cream, fresh cabbage, onions, and tomatoes (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-sinaloense-restaurant-spring-valley?select=cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA#Q6HByu3kG-tEynhgapioMQ). The white fish inside was perfect. It was tender and flaky with a mild flavor. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-sinaloense-restaurant-spring-valley?select=cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA#GSHnXtbrmb2ZcLIdKvSI-g) A good fish for sure, but if I were to provide some critique, it would be that the batter could of used a little salt. The meal came with a complimentary generous cup fish consume and some corn tortilla chips (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-sinaloense-restaurant-spring-valley?select=cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA#cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA). The soup had very good developed flavor created by the cooked down vegetables and fish stock. It was rich, salty, and filled with tender vegetables (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-sinaloense-restaurant-spring-valley?select=cj3UkthJFs_MxCTA3_AFWA#3kIdLKjBKndMPLgGO6dEkw). A god consume and perfect on a cold day. The place has some seating inside and plenty on the eclectic outside patio. It's not much to look at, but it works. read more

Pro: I will start off with pros because I've had their food in the past. It was good so I decided to come back, BUT after this last time I'm not so sure I will. Cons: We ordered TWO tacos and 1 Birria consume at 12:52.....we got our food at 1:40. Basically took almost an hour for two tacos, when they told us it would only take 30 MINUTES!! I wouldn't have been too upset because hey things happen. But they basically threw some tortillas and shrimp in a box and gave it to us. AND to top it off they even forgot the Birria consume, we had to back and ask for it. Really disappointing, there are far better places to get mariscos and Birria. Golosito has delicious mariscos, and Fernandez restaurant has way better Birria! read more

Save your time and eat somewhere else. For starters the waitress was just not happy to be working there ( tallest girl with dark hair). Second the reviews say there have been several mystery charges on their cards. Now let's get to the food. The food was average for the most part. Aguachiles were NOT good. They tasted raw, hot, and chewy. I ordered TWO $28 each! I was not happy with a $56 crappy meal. I told the waitress and she argued back that that is what aguachiles are. You apply lemon and they are instantly made... not true. It's just like ceviche. It needs to sit a little in the lemon juice to cook. I am a big seafood eater. She said she would only remove 1 only so here I am paying $28 for something I didn't even eat. I never post reviews but felt the need to because of the waitress. It must be easy to be a rude crappy waitress when they're charging 18% for gratuity. Shitty meal got her an $33 tip. & by the end of our meal we realized the crackers were expired and went ahead and let her know also.. no comment. She just continued picking up dishes. $217 later you would be writing this review trying to save people. read more
