Just tried Mariscos El Gobernador and WOW The ceviche??? Perfect. No need to add anything, it's already made exactly how it should be. The flavors were fresh, bold, and straight up hitting. The sauces are FULL of flavor, like you can tell everything is made with love. And the agua fresca was so refreshing, perfect balance, not too sweet, just right. Everything we had was honestly just amazingly delicious. No misses. And get this, they even do Disney breakfast boxes This is literally the perfect spot to hit before or after Disneyland. 10/10 , this is a MUST GO. Go show them love and follow them on Instagram read more

3 stars because the food itself was actually pretty good but personally the service wasn't really all there for me. When we got seated, there was another couple seated right next to us who had also just arrived not long after a server asked them to move because a bigger party of around 6 people came in. I know restaurants have to accommodate larger groups sometimes but it honestly felt a little disrespectful and awkward especially since the couple had already gotten their drinks and chips... it was mother's day so I understand it was probably super busy which may also be why the food took a long time to come out glad the taste and flavors saved the experience because otherwise I probably would've given 2 stars read more

Mariscos El Governador - Aguachiles, Shrimp Tacos, Molcajete de Mariscos, Mango Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

First trying this place. It was recommended by a friend. Came here on a Friday evening around 5pm. It wasn't busy at the time. It was open seating so we got to sit wherever we wanted. Place was decorated like Valentine's Day since we went the day before. Service was quick and friendly. We order some micheladas and a margarita. They were good. I order some surf and turf tacos, my friend ordered some aguachiles to share and the taquito combo. Food was good. A bit on the pricey side but makes sense for the seafood involved. Overall good place to try. read more

First time trying this restaurant and the food was delicious. The tacos de givernador are sooo good. I tried the ceviche de camaron and it's served in a bowl. Delicious. The empanadas are also good. Small place but lots of tables. Great customer service. read more

Such good food. I came here by myself on a weekend early lunch. Surprisingly wasn't too busy. I think I was in between the breakfast and lunch rush. The food is fresh. Service is fast and nice. I love that they have so many options of salsas. I ordered the ceviche mixto . It was a large portion and can easily be shared for 2-3 people. It was very fresh and presented nicely as well. It's a very hole in the wall vibe and they have a good amount of options too. I know this place must get busy for dinner. Parking is easy as there is a small lot for the plaza. I can see it filling up maybe during busy times but I don't see you running into much issues. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

Good food and overall experience, would recommend. I found out about Mariscos El Governador through Instagram and the food looked both tasty and fresh. My family came on a weeknight and were quickly seated. The waitress who assisted was also helpful and gave thoughtful recommendations as we asked about the menu. We ordered the empanadas de camaron, the tostada embarazada, shrimp cocktail, tacos, and some drinks. All of the food had good flavor and well presented. The tostada embarazada was packed with crab, shrimp, and octopus. The shrimp empanadas also had good flavor, only negative was that with the filling two of the empanadas were a little soggy. I've heard good things about the aguachiles and plan on trying that next. We also got a michelada and margaritas, all of the drinks were good. I especially liked the like margarita, but do want to note their margaritas are served over ice and are not blended. There's a good amount of seating and parking was easy. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

He venison 4 veces, esta fue mi ultimately vez, comida o sin Saber o muy salada, no lo recomiendo

This could have easily been a 5 star, but they WILL NOT ACCEPT the 20% off Yelp check-in coupon. The michelada wasn't very good and the molcajete was disappointing. The ceviche however, was extremely good! Customer service is good also, they check in on you every 5-7 minutes to make sure everything is good. The place is trendy, the cooks music is louder than the music playing out in the dining area. Overall 4.5 stars. read more

Mariscos El Governador - Molcajete was a bit disappointing, the ceviche was good! - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

This place has so much potential. We came here and it was empty except for one other table. I order the tostada de mixto, the tostada de pescado, the shrimp empanadas, tostada de embararzada. Tostada mixto- was a mix of shrimp, octopus, cucumbers, tomatoes , onions all bathed in lime juice salt and pepper. They were a bit skimp in the seafood and heavy on the veggies. 3 1/2 stars*** tostada de embararzada is A mix of octopus, Imitation crab, shrimp, red onions, cucumber, Avocado, and mayonnaise. Again a little skimp on the seafood 3 1/2 stars***. Tostada de pescado- Fish fillet mix with cucumber, cilantro, onion, tomato, avocado they we're definitely skimp on the seafood. 3 1/2 stars*** Shrimp empanadas aka Empanadas de Camaron were probably the best item I've had they were crispy on the outside and nicely filled on the inside and greatly seasoned. 4 1/2 stars**** Service was ok. Nothing special we were offered any refills on drinks nor were we checked on after our items came out. Parking is available in front in the plaza and is fist come first serve. Would I come back? Hmmm if I was in the area, can't say I would go out of my way to get food here... we'll maybe for the shrimp empanadas. read more

AMAZING Sinaloan-style Shrimp Tacos here! Taco Al Governador is a crispy taco with big pieces of shrimp, cheese, and sautéd green peppers and onions. Its one of the best Mexican foods I've had recently. 5/5, its the name of the place so definitely worth getting because its unique amongst the standard shrimp tacos. This shrimp-taco variation is a modern creation from Sinaloa along with aguachile. The legend is it was created at Los Arcos in Mazaltan to surprise governor Francisco Ochoa who said publicly his favorite food was his wifes shrimp tacos. It was so popular it spread from there, you can also find it as "al gobernador" tacos. Lady working was very nice, I asked for "taco camarones" and she knew I meant the "al governador". For non-spanish speakers like myself they have a menu with english names and descriptions you can use to point at when ordering in person. Tostada Embarazada:, octopus, imitation crab, shrimp, red onion, cucumber, avocado on a crunchy tortilla. Tortilla is buried by the heavy amount of toppings and got soggy. It was OK, not bad. Plenty more to try before ordering this again. Bonus points for the old-school coin-op capsules, my son loved them and most of them are still only a quarter though the size of the capsules and prizes have shrunk a lot since I was a kid. They also had chicken nuggets and french fries which my kid loved, they are from frozen but very well cooked and worth the $6 to feed your little ones. read more

I don't give it the 5 stars because the handmade tortillas seemed to be just warmed up and could have maybe been leftover from the morning. Other than that the birria was good and the salsa to out in it is always fireeee! Will come back for the birria but definitely not for the tortillas. This time I place the order over the phone. read more

Went there with my lady and was welcomed in fine pretty good service that's not a problem but the food is. The tacos al governador were super plain and had no sauce or flavor to it basically just cheese and shrimp. The horchata was nasty it tasted super sour and grainy gross. Do not recommend pretty pricey for bad food ! read more

Mariscos El Governador - Michelada & Ceviche de Camaron Tostada - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

Got the tacos plate 3 tacos $10 carne asada and it came with free chips. Jarritos soda to finish it off and I was in and out for a quick lunch for a great price. Service was fast and friendly and they didn't mind my weak Spanish skills. They had beer available and the decor looked like they had done some recent remodeling. Nice tables and chairs and the serving tacos on a nice metal tray was cool. read more

It was a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. We didn't wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. They have no tap water so it's only bottled water available. I got the shrimp cocktail - decently priced and had a great amount of shrimp in mine. My dad got the shrimp and octopus one and said it was mostly veggies. So not sure how consistent they are on portions. Got a michelada- very good i liked it & shared a queso fundido with chorizó. Probably my favorite thing on there. After a few minutes it just because very hot inside the restaurant like the AC stopped working. And not sure why but there was no music playing so it was kind of an off vibe to it all. read more

Felt like having some good mariscos on Friday so my husband and I decided to come here. We had been here once before and we liked what we had so we decided to come and try some more of their food. It was busy and we had to wait to be seated since it lent season. We didn't wait to long. We sat down and ordered some drinks and they brought us some nicely warm tortilla chips and salsa. Then we ordered our entrees, I ordered the embarazada tostada which consists of imitation crab, octopus, shrimp mixed with cucumber and lemon and put on a tostada with some mayonnaise spread on it. My husband ordered the shrimp al mojo de ajo ( garlic shrimp) it comes with a side of beans and rice and some tortillas. We also ordered some fried shrimp empanadas. I liked my tostada but I would probably not order it again because the tostada got soft because of everything on top of it. I will order the shrimp ceviche next time , the tostadas come on the side of that dish. My husband liked his garlic shrimp as well as the shrimp empanadas. We will be coming back to try some more stuff. read more

Anaheim- WHY???? Do you allow these types of restaurants to be here. I mean YUCK!! I ordered the tostada mixta and then had to add imitation crab making it a tostada playera, a dozen Oysters which tasted like they fished them out of the sewer and some tacos ( tacos were decent- but nothing special), a Michelada plus 2 cokes The Tostada was saltier then beach water and was composed of mostly cucumbers The price on the menu wasn't the price on the receipt- overpriced for a bad meal read more

Mariscos El Governador - two glasses of bloody drink - Mexican Near Me - Anaheim, California

Came here because we were craving seafood and micheladas. Looked for a place that closed relatively late (Covid-times). When we arrived around 7p we noticed there w only 1 other table seated and eating. Definitely felt more like a quick lunch spot than an actual restaurant. But the reviews here rave about the food so we wanted to check it out. Service was great. Super friend staff. That's always a plus. We started with a couple micheladas (basic) and an appetizer to share: aguachile. A-mazing! The micheladas were not overly flavored and filling like most these days are. The aguachile tasted super fresh and left us wanting more. We couldn't stay longer, it was a girls' night out and we needed to move onto the next stop. The next stop left us regretting having left this place. We are definitely coming back for some more micheladas and aguachile, and intend to dive into the menu more this time too! read more
