We decided to try out a new spot recommended by Yelp. At first, it was a bit tricky to find the location but we were determined and found it. It was renamed to Mariscos Chinola, As we walked in, we were greeted by Aileen, who made us feel welcome right away and offered some great recommendations. Everything we ordered was outstanding--absolutely delicious. I'll definitely be recommending this place. Even though at the beginning the place looked sketchy now I knows It's a hidden gem! Definitely be back. Decidimos probar un nuevo lugar recomendado por Yelp. Al principio, fue un poco complicado encontrar la ubicación, pero estábamos decididos y la encontramos.

Food was good and hot the people where nice and the place was very clean would recommend for others to go

Food amazing never disappoints governance tacos delish. Been coming here for a long time recommend to friends didnt dissapoint either.

This establishment is located next to the gas station and a hidden gem in my opinion! My bf and I wanted seafood and opted for this place. We were quickly greeted by our server and service was quick. We both ordered the mixed tostada and it was so delicious and flavorful! Probably some of the best mariscos I've had in the IE. One thing to note is that it's cash only! read more

Best mariscos I've tried in the area. Quality is the same for takeout and sit down. They accept phone orders. Their King Kong is perfect for sharing with any group. Great flavors and fresh ingredients. The aguachilles are a great options too. read more

My husband and I love this spot. We found it by chance and have been going back weekly since.

This is the 3rd time I come to this place and they say they open at 11:30am. There was an employee inside before 2 other ones arrived came here at 11:00. Was patiently waiting it was 11:45 am and decided to finally come inside and door wasn't even open . The lady came out and said "we aren't open yet the cook has not arrived yet ." What kind of place doesn't open on time and has their main cook come late and is not even ready to open at the time it says on their sign. This is the 3rd time this happens and food has been good but this is just unbelievable they need to get new cooks or have management or owners do something about this. Horrible!! Had to leave and go somewhere else because wasn't going to wait on them to get there! Thought they have done something about this will not be coming here again ! read more

The Aguachiles are a must have!! They are identical to the ones I've had in Mazatlan. The fish tacos are also really good. This place needs more hype read more

Mariscos El Chango - The Aguachiles are sooo good!! They are identical to the ones I've had in Mazatlan. The fish tacos are also really good. - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

It's attached to a gas station so it looks a bit sketch. As soon as you walk in the dirty bathroom stench really hits you. We ordered six dishes total and it was a little over $100. Some of the food was ok but nothing great. If you can get over the smell and over priced food I guess it's ok. Everything tasted pre-made and they didn't tell us until the end that the restaurant was cash only. read more

los mejores mariscos pero el servicio no es bueno y varias veces esperé más de una hora para que abrieran, se supone que abren a las 11:30

There is nothing really spectacular about this place. Came here with my better half, ordered two shrimp cocktails and waited, and waited for it to evolve. They were good. Not excellent, not outstanding, not extraordinary. There are so many Mexican restaurants and Mexican food hole in the wall establishments in Southern California, so when I go to one that sets the bar high in regards to authentic flavor, service and cleanliness, that's my reference point. I've already dined at several Mexican food restaurants that set the bar pretty high. So the question here is, does Mariscos El Chango set the bar high or even come close to it? The answer for me is, nope. But that doesn't mean "you" won't love it. They do have an exclusive item on their menu called King Kong that's worth mentioning. Aside from that, go ahead and try it for yourself and give them a Yelp of your own. As for me, I don't believe I'll be returning here anytime soon. read more

Mariscos El Chango - Seafood Near Me - Riverside, California

My husband and I dropped by here on a trip up from San Diego. What a great find! I will make this a regular stop on my way north. The tacos were excellent - I got one smoked marlin, and one shrimp gobernador -- and the salsas were delicious. My husband got the sopes de res, which he said were delicious. The flavors of each item were very different, and nothing was too spicy (and I am a spice wimp). The plates we saw other diners eating looked amazing, too. Don't be put off by the fact that this is behind a mini mart in an auto repair mall. Eat here! read more

I loove their food, serving size, & taste. I will say it is a small spot so on the weekends we've been twice on we had to wait for a while to be seated & the waiter kept forgetting about us. But honestly the food is the best I've had near Menifee, Glad I found it! Just wish they could work on their attention to customers a bit more. I've had to wait a while for a refill, more tostadas, or if I ordered something later after the main order. But overall, I love coming here for the food. read more

Super good tacos I tried the gobernador and camarón empanizado! They were really good I recommend.

The food was okay cold but ok. The service was terrible. The waitress didn't bring us chips and salsa like she did to all the other tables. We waited a long time for our drinks she didn't check up on us to see if we needed more drinks or wanted to add anything to our order. Over all this experience was terrible. read more
