    You will drive by this place and never give it a second thought. Looks almost abandoned from the outside, made of plywood and prayers. But... once you enter... the same thing. Blaring Mexican music, a small bar and huge covered patio. It's like being transported back in time or to another country - which is good. The food was amazing. The chips were perfection. The homade guac is killer, and the portions are huge! Two to go boxes were needed. Go. Eat. Be happy. This place will knock your socks off for flavor and authentic Mexican food

    let me tell you a little story about this place seafood plates, i order was called stuffed fillet of fish. it had shrimp, scallops, crab mushrooms, and it was covered whith a mild chipotle sauce with beans and rice on the side, you get your complementary chips and salsa that it was so delicious and as a starter course your own salad service was top notch by mayra who was very attentive and courteous she by herself i will give her a 10 everything was a 10, it was my very first time in this restaurant. i recommended completely if you wanna have an experience like never before with mexican style seafood this is your place you can quote me on this?

    I've been driving by this place for years and i finally stopped in and was not disappointed! The food was AMAZING so fresh and tasty. I ordered the tostada el viejon and my son ordered the red aguachile. The portions are big. The service was excellent, all the servers were super attentive and came around constantly to make sure we didn't need anything. I would 100% recommend this restaurant.

    Yajaira was super nice, very attentive and didn't have to ask for anything she was already giving it to us. The customer service was something I haven't had in a while very good. Really good food and micheladas it comes with shrimp as well and super fresh. She also bagged our food to take home and prepared it really well, I'm definitely coming back just for the service and great food.

    This was my first time here and I am extremely impressed. The service was great. It seems like a great sit down place, but I ordered to go. I had the California burrito and it definitely is up there as one of the best I've had. For the price that most places sell mediocre burrito, this place gives you a whole meal. The burrito had the perfect fries to carne asada ratio. Both perfectly cooked and wrapped very tight and easy to eat. The only bad thing I can say is I wish it came with more of the delicious home style refried beans topped with queso fresco. The beans definitely reminded me of home. You also get a side of guacamole, pico de gallo, a grilled jalapeño and a bag of ships. Also received a total of 4 salsas, 2 rojas and 2 frescas, and I didn't have to ask. I will definitely be returning and hopefully dine in. This is the type of place that makes me want to try everything on the menu. It definitely seems like a hidden gem.

    On a quiet corner resides a lively, friendly, and delightful mariscos restaurant. We came by around 5:30 for an early dinner. As seafood fans, my husband and I are always on the lookout for our new favorite local seafood spot. I'm glad we made the trip here because we totally found it! Ambiance was very nice, we were sat in the semi-outdoor patio. Lively music playing at a reasonable volume. There was also ample seating - great for large parties!! Our server was very friendly and attentive (the gal with braces). She checked on us despite having waiting on a large party. Hubby got the fish taco plate and really enjoyed his dinner. I got my favorite - Siete Mares! The rich broth was delicious and very flavorful, and a generous portion of seafood on top of that. I even had enough for a full container to take home. We also shared an order of a dozen oysters. Oysters were meaty, clean, and tasty! Considering the portion and quality, the price was very reasonable. Our check for the three came out to be $86 before tip. Had an overall fantastic experience here at La Sinaloense. Friendly service, awesome food. Highly recommended!

    Don't bother looking further for another mariscos place. Your search stops here. The molcajetes are all so good, can't go wrong ordering one of those and they're more than enough to share. The tacos are all really good too. You know a place takes pride in their food when their sides are sooo good on their own. The beans & rice aren't just place holders for the plates, they're genuinely so good. Service is also great, super attentive and bring you whatever you need and ask for. The patio seating is super nice too, it's secluded with a nice view and ambiance, with plants surrounding. Makes you forget you're in spring valley. Must try

    Had this place on my radar for a while and finally made it out to Bonita to try it out! They have…read moreboth an inside and outside seating area and overall the service was nice throughout the meal. They have a lot of seafood options so there will be something for everyone. My partner asked for a breaded mahi mahi burrito which they were able to accommodate and it was moist and flavorful. The portion was pretty big too. I came with the mission to try a lot of the tacos so I ended up getting the fish, oyster, octopus, smoked tuna w/cheese, shrimp diabla, and the stingray. The bigger standouts were the octopus and the smoked tuna. I really loved the smoky flavor on the tuna which was my favorite. The stingray came shredded in some type of sauce that was different and pretty good. The oysters were fried but they were a bit soft/soggy on the taco. And the fish was good but nothing standout. Overall the variety of seafood you can get here is worth coming to check out. My only critique was the taco price vs amount of food. I ordered 6 tacos just for myself and I felt that I could have eaten a couple more.

    This is the first time I don't have any photos of the food. Only because it looked and tasted so…read moregood. I got the class fish taco, octopus taco, and a shrimp ceviche tostada. Then washed it all down with a michelada. I've been here a handful of times and I don't recall ever having a bad experience. Servers and bartenders are always nice and attentive. Restaurant is fairly clean. Also, it's way more spacious compared to the original location down the street. It's a great place to have dinner with friends or even by yourself to grab a beer and watch the game. I highly recommend giving this place a try next time your in Bonita.

    Parking 4/5 -About 10 spots available in its own parking lot…read more Service 5/5 -Family business ran by daughter and parents, always friendly service, food's made fresh and they always let you know the accurate amount of wait time to expect for your food to be ready, we waited about 15 minutes this time. Free self served iced water is available. Food 5/5 -Fish and jumbo shrimp $26, one piece of hot fresh flaky fried white fish and four pieces of tempura style fried shrimp, fries are good, no notes. -Small eater's plate with one piece of fish $18, all very hot, fresh and delicious. Even for the small eater's plate, the portion will fill you up half way because they give such a huge piece of fish. Ambiance 5/5 -The decor takes you back to an older time and the yellow tables and chairs give just the right amount of funk. Dining area is quiet and calm, just a great place to enjoy fresh delicious fish and chips.

    This is my very first review, and I am writing it because I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected,…read moreand unheard. I went to this fish and chips place in Lemon Grove with my sister and my 81-year-old mother for Saturday lunch. Before we even walked in, we noticed the handicapped parking space was blocked off, which was very disappointing, especially when bringing an elderly parent. Inside, the restaurant looked like a small family-owned place, so I wanted to support it. It was busy, so I thought the food must be worth it. We ordered 3 pieces of fish with fries, coleslaw, and zucchini. The total was about $55, which is very expensive for fish and chips in Lemon Grove. After waiting about 25 minutes, our food came out on only 2 trays with no plates and no lemon. Since there were 3 of us eating, I went back and asked for lemon and 3 plates or extra trays. The young lady told me she had already given me one. I explained that we were 3 people and asked if we were expected to eat from the paper lining the tray. She said yes, because we were sharing, and refused to give us anything else to eat from. That was humiliating. I ended up eating my food off a napkin because I was not given a plate or even an extra tray. No paying customer should be made to feel like that, especially not while dining with an elderly parent. Although the food was okay, it was expensive for what we received, and the service made the entire experience unacceptable. I understand restaurants get busy, but basic respect and customer service should never be optional. If three people are paying $55 for food, they should be given a proper way to eat it. I truly hope the owner reads this and makes changes, because customers deserve to be treated with dignity. I will not be taking my business there ever again.
