Owner's daughter, Cynthia was a joy! She was so pleasant and professional. She continuously visited our table striking interesting conversation. I couldn't believe the 5-6 staff in the back were all family, her siblings! The green tasteful salads had me in pain but crying out for me. My P substance was running wild all over my body. The mixed seafood juicy plate was insane in the membrane! I have never ever experienced seafood if this caliber. I almost didn't go in because from the outside it looked ghetto but goes to show you, don't judge a book by its cover! It was cool to see Anthony Bourdain on the wall in a photo with the owner. Apparently he did an entire episode there- will have to look it up. read more

I've had a good experience here overall. I ordered different ceviches, and while they are on the pricier side, the portions are huge, the quality is there, and everything tasted very fresh. You definitely get what you pay for. I also really like the fisherman / seaport-style décor -- it's inviting and gives the place a clear identity instead of feeling generic. The only real downside is the wait time. They can take a while, and I made the mistake of coming during lunch on a Friday during Lent, which was on me. It took so long that I had to take my food back to the office and eat after my lunch hour. That said, the food itself was well above satisfactory. I'd recommend people try it and I'll definitely come back from time to time -- just not when I'm in a rush. read more

Always fresh food and friendly service!! This place is awesome! 10 out of 10 I recommend!

Absolutely amazing ceviche. Best ever! Giving it 4 starts bc I just went in after 2-3 years. I used to pay $18 for ceviche and now it's 28!! Way too much for one meal. read more

I used to love this place even though they were more expensive at the time! It was still worth it but not in 2026 the price just doesn't match the portion or even what a ceviche is worth in this day and age. They are still using the COVID excuse to raise prices and now probably the Trump Tariff excuse. I guarantee you will loose regular customers due to the increase when it's the same! I hope you guys come back to reality and stop overcharging your loyal customers when most of your orders are to go! I'm glad there's another place around the corner with better service and half the prices. Tourist is not what made this neighborhood businesses it was the local people. Greed is a MF read more

The staff is friendly and the best place to buy ceviche. Their house salsa goes well with their food.

Food is amazing!! Service is great... definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good Mariscos spot to go with friends or family

Great food and great service. I ordered the mojarra and it was delicious tender inside and crispy outside, they never disappoint. read more

I waited on my food over 30 mins for a simple ceviche. I asked for my order to be to go. They hadn't even started on my order I still had to wait another 15 min with the staff looking upset! It was over a 45 min wait for ceviche read more

Holy crap were these mariscos good. I had never been here before, but went with a co-worker. As soon as I saw that the owners were from Sinaloa and Nayarit, I knew I was about to have some of the best mariscos available. Those two states in Mexico are known for their incredibly fresh and flavorful seafood. To add to my excitement, on the wall is a framed photo of one of the owners engaged in a warm embrace with none other than the late Anthony Bourdain, one of my idols. Rest in Peace, Chef. Other than the fresh from the sea mariscos, there star here is their salsa verde. Not for those who can't handle spice. Seriously, you need to eat here. BYOB read more

Delicious food super friendly staff, as a local I've been coming here for years and I always have an outstanding experience.

Don't be fooled: This place looks like a hole-in-the-wall from the outside, and feels small on the inside, but the flavors are real, and they are delicious. I had the pleasure of taking my mom here for lunch, and I had the fried fish, and she had the ceviche. The fish was fresh, fried to perfection, flakey and moist. So good. Momma had the ceviche, and she said that it was some of the best that she's ever had, and she makes some amazing ceviche of her own too, so she knows. We had the good luck to be served by the owner's grand daughter, and she was helpful and attentive. Momma and I have resolved to put this restaurant into the permanent rotation of places to go for sure. I think I made her more than a little jealous with my pescado frito! Oh, and the salsa was simple, but different in just the right way, and went very well with my fish. Update: I had the opportunity to go back today, and everything was just as good. I had a chance to try the pulpo and it was very tender, and my mom loved it. The granddaughter of the founder of the restaurant came out and talked with us again. She was very nice and was kind enought to tell us about the family and the history of the restaurant. Super cool place, and I was happy to support a local family-owned landmark. We'll definitely be back. read more

I just to go very often to buy camarones al vapor but now, they are to expensive. And I don't really mine to paid for something that I really like. But they are given less shrimp on the order them before. I agree things are expensive and it's ok to go up on the prices, but come on you guys need at list to put little more shrimps on the orders don't be unfair with the customer. Because we work hard as you guys to get our money. I just think is not fair with the customer at all read more

Menudo is good... also had some bacon wrapped shrimp. They cook everything in same oil...so I hope you like fish too. I asked for pan tostado for my menudo. I will be back. Service was food too. read more

This is definitely the best place for seafood in Southern California! If you like seafood- you have to try their famous ceviche de camaron en salsa verde. It is simply the best! Today I came with my daughter and we also ordered 2 mojarras fritas. We drive 1 hour and 30 minutes just to come here and the food is worth the drive. The staff is always nice and friendly and make you feel like family coming here. Give this place a try- you won't regret it. :) read more

Food wasn't good at all! This wasn't a good mariscos place. Ordered a cocktail and it was horrible. They don't take card it's cash or Zelle only. Way to expensive for the quality of the food! My buddy order some agua chilli and he said it wasnt worth the money he paid. read more

One of my favorites spots. Family owned business. Their ceviche and green Chile salsa is fire ! Must try ! read more

Looking for authentic delicious mariscos? This is the place to go. Everything was spot on. We got the ceviche mixto, shrimp in Langostino sauce , oysters and a campechana. Definitely a must try! And the oysters were pretty cheap! They don't sell alcohol, but you can bring your own in if you would like. It would be cool if they played some music while we ate, but not a deal breaker. Don't expect a fancy restaurant. Family owned and humble environment. Check it out ! You won't be disappointed! read more

Food was very good !! This is my second time I come and every meal on the menu is delicious

The food is fresh, good a little pricey compared to other holes In The wall but it's worth it because they have good customer service and the dishes are tasty read more

YES. A coworker recommended it when I said how I was craving ceviche. I've honestly never had raw shrimp like they came but the flavor was unreal. I got the camerones w green sauce w cucumbers, phewww. Also loved the chips. Will def be back. read more

Had the mariscos culiches so delicious. Hubby had ceviche he loved it Ninos 1 had breaded fish kids meal he was very hesitant then he took a bite and said Mummy this is really good We drove all the way from Long Beach on a recommendation from a friend. It was hot packed Chente was back their cooking it was worth every mile very authentic and delicious. Looking forward to going back and trying a heads on shrimp dish. To our negative reviewers all states in Mexico have a different style if you don't like salsa it's bc your not used to the style but that's how they eat there. I brought my own raw chilies from my plants bc I'm white and that's how I like my spice you just have to look outside the box and realize just because it's Mexican doesn't necessarily mean it's all the same. It's a big country read more

I know, your gunna say no way. It's dirty and the location is ghetto and over all it can't be more then a 3 Star joint. But the mariscos and Ceviche and literally anything you order here is Delicous. Get past the funky interior design and hard to park lot and you'll be fine. A true foodie knows that this is a gem. The kind of place that places emphasis on quality food. I've been here 6 times just to be sure before I write this review and now I am 100% positive the food is great, fresh and consistant. The main man Chente (owner) makes your food. Yes. The man in the pictures with people like Anthony Bourdain etc etc. Is there. Cooking your food. I've had the Shrimp Soup Aka: Albacore. A sour and spicy soup with a kick. I can't seem to put my finger on it but it is a great soup on any day but especially delicious on a rainy or gloomy day to keep you warm and filled. Comes with peeled tail shrimp but the heads are still attached. This is where people will say eww. If you are a softy and trip about this, delete your yelp account and stop calling yourself a foodie. Aguachili Camarones is fire.... wowzers. Fresh prawns peeled tails raw with head in a green chili water concoction that cooks the Shrimp using natural acid from the lemon/lime juice. Ceviche with Octopus is a refreshing meal in its self. Comes with a huge bag of fresh homemade tortilla chips. A mixture of fresh fish, shrimp, octopus, cucumber, peppers. Etc etc. Especially spicy unless you specify them to not put peppers or reduce the spice level to medium. Otherwise as is. It is HOT. So be aware if you are sensitive to spiciness. The seating area is a small inside spot with a few small tables or outside under a gazibo permanently fixed with long tables and and chairs to sit with a large group or two. I've always had service with a smile with all the ladies that have served me. Either Chentes daughter or others. They are not stingy and will give you all the sides you ask for. Snook is another world of Delicous with out the bones to pick comes with a soy like flavor onions and absolutely worth its slightly $$ tag. If you like grilled fish. This is a must try as well. I can go on and on about the menu but this is already long enough and I'm sure you've made up your mind about eating here. LOL Enjoy and Stay Wild! read more

Very good and fresh! Definitely recommend, does that a while to get food but it's fresh and you can order ahead.

Awesome food perfect service awesome place love it I would come here again it's a really good place I suggest you come here

Ridiculous, I placed an order for take out apund ten to twenty mins ago. I talked to the lady and she told me it would take around twenty minutes to make. Once I got there the place was closed! WTF! If there were about to close they should have told me now I am wasting my time and gas going over there to a closed restaurant. NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT WASTED TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. read more
