    If you're looking for some home style Mariscos or Micheladas you have to check this place out. I will be honest and say it's in the cut and is very unassuming but I promise you won't regret it. I ordered the Mojarra Frita plate - you get beans, rice, chile, salad and the fish all for $12.99. For the Micheladas, they handmade each one, unlike most places who give you a premade mix.

    Tacos and tostado
    Quynh-Nhi N.

    Tried Marisco El Puerto for the first time and loved it! I ordered the pescado (fish) taco and the tostada ceviche de camarón (shrimp). Both were so delicious. My friend got the asada (steak) taco and said it was just as tasty. We went with corn tortillas and they were perfect. You order at the counter, get a number, and seat yourself. Heads up, parking is very limited so plan ahead during rush hour. They serve lemon instead of lime with your food which was different but still good.

    No room for trash it was full inside.

    I don't know where to start with this place, first of all the food pick up by the door is the worst placement i have ever seen in a restaurant the people walking in are bumping into the people picking up their orders and the people who are still ordering but they can easily put the pick up on the other side where the table with hot sauce and one napkin box is taking so much space smh! The soda was terrible no taste at all and the rice is bad, the trash can was full and nasty on mothers day, plus I don't know if there is even a bathroom lol other then all that madness the food was decent and not to expensive and staff was friendly enough.

    aguachile tostada & fish burrito
    Emily S.

    oooo was craving seafood after a morning workout and decided to check this place out. the aguachile tostada was refreshing and the fish burrito was very filling! you can ask for extra crema and salsa on the side to eat with the fish burrito as well. the batter on the fish was a little salty to me but overall, the food was pretty darn good. the workers were also very nice and attentive.

    2 Taco Combo -1 fish / 1 shrimp + 1 asada taco
    Star S.

    Wow, I really enjoyed my taco combo! Yummmmm. I have always liked Mexican food but have been recently obsessed with tacos. I need to try one everywhere I go. Haha! My Mexican boyfriend has been introducing me to the best places to eat, and I would have to add these to my favorites list! I ordered the two-taco combo. It comes with one fish taco, one shrimp taco, beans, and rice. I added an asada taco because I like to try a little bit of everything. Amazinggg i devoured my meal within 10 mins. I wasn't even that hungry, but it was just that good. I really enjoyed the sauces. There was a slight chipotle-style sauce and a creamier white one. They both complimented all the tacos. The reviews are great and led me to find this spot. You know it will be a good spot when all the locals and Mexican people are filling up the restaurant and parking lot. It got pretty full by the time I had left, and I can definitely see why. Love it! I can't wait to bring my bf so we can try to try the ceviche tosadas together!

    Michelada & Menudo, SO CHEWY & RUBBERY! Didn't eat much and had to throw it away
    Lora M.

    I'm guessing by the reviews, this place must be known only for their fish tacos. We came and got take out Menudo & a michelada. We already have our favorite Menudo spot, but we were close to this place. We do not recommend the Menudo! It's VERY small for the price, it's SO CHEWY & RUBBERY. I felt like I was going to choke on the pieces. I couldn't even finish it, what a waste of money. I chewed so much my jaw was hurting. The Michelada was okay, nothing to write home about. We will not be returning & will keep our favorite spot that's always consistent & delicious

    I really enjoyed this taco shop! I think the tacos is more on the pricier side but it was delicious! Service was good, there was a line when I was there! Ambiance was busy, all tables were taken and so I had to be on the lookout!

    Mi familias! Feels like home or at my tíos house. Great authentic Mexican food seafood. Plenty of seating in a crowded restaurant. If you really good Mexican food this is the place!

    The building is blue and on the south side of the street on Riverside..

    This place was surprisingly good. We ordered different plate items and we were all very pleased with the food. Everything was great. Fish tacos were wonderful and the pescado à la plancha was moist and delicious.

    Tostada de camarón and Tostada de Jaiba

    Omg this place was so good! My husband and I visited today and tried their tostadas and shrimp tacos. So so good. I'm usually picky with my mariscos but this place definitely was top tier. Service was amazing and workers gave really good customer service. Will come back

    This place is a gem!! The service is great! The employees are so kind and helpful when ordering. The food, let me tell you!! You have to stop here and get the ceviche and all the tacos are delicious and fresh!! The ranch is so good and fresh. There's plenty of seating but I do hear it can get packed!!

    Michelada
    Rachel S.

    The entrance is right next to the ordering table so you have to walk through the line if there is one. Kind of a weird set up. The serve is really nice though and very patient. Everyone is usually pretty nice so no need to feel bad about walking by people. It's a small shop but they are pretty popular so there's a lot of people who are there. At least that's what I saw when I was there. We got our food after the called our order number and it was actually pretty good. It may not look very quality but it is. The beans were pretty watery but we didn't eat them anyways. We all had a good time here and the food was decent and the drinks are HUGE! We called them fishbowls ! They're so big so definitely come here for a drink or two. I enjoyed this place and I thought it was a cute little shop where everyone works hard and makes it a quality place at heart.

    Fish taco combination for $12 with a drink.
    Robert G.

    Came by for lunch while attending a meeting in Chino. I had seen reviews on Yelp and brought a few coworkers with me. Each of them thought all the food was great. Service was quick and warm. I ordered the fish tacos combo with 3 tacos. You can order 2 or 3 tacos with the combo. I would've liked to have had the option to get a combo plate with fish and asada tacos to try them out. I guess I could've ordered them a la carte. The beans and the rice were also tasty. The restaurant has this mom and pop vibe which is good. You know when you see people coming there during lunch from all walks of life that it's a good spot. I'd like to come back soon.

    My girlfriend and I had been wanting to try this spot ever since we saw it on TikTok. One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

    The service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. Unfortunately,…read morethe food wasn't quite to my taste. The dishes I ordered were much sweeter than I expected, and the sweetness tended to overpower the savory flavors. If you enjoy sweeter Hawaiian-style food, you may really like it, but I was hoping for a better balance of sweet and savory. Ambiance typical of a Hawaiian food joint. Overall, a decent experience thanks to the great customer service, but I'm not sure I'd return for the food.

    5/1/2026 Been so…read morelong since I've had a pan roast! I thought there weren't any more places that make pan roasts, but happy to have found one in Chino Hills! HOUSE PAN ROAST It tasted exactly what was expected. A creamy tomato soup consistency and flavor. Got level 2 or 3 for spice level. I wanted more of that creamy flavor, not spice. Any higher than 3 would be Tabasco level spice and up. Deliciously filled with shrimp, chopped scallops, small crab meat. I could taste the crab meat, which was all sitting at the bottom of the bowl. The scoop of jasmine rice with the creamy pan roast was comfort on another level. Got the small size, but it is enough for me. I do wish there were more shrimp and scallops and crab in the pan roast. I felt the scallops and crab were chopped too small and wished there was a bit more. But still I enjoyed the pan roast and would get it again. As an appetizer and accompaniment to the house pan roast, they bring a basket with three sliced breads and a side of butter. It's a light, soft bread with a bit of sour flavor. Didn't like it. I would have preferred dinner rolls. CUSTOMER SERVICE I arrived 1 hr before lunch closing time. It closes at 2:00pm and then re-opens for dinner at 5:00pm. But service was good! Only one server, but she checked back with everyone and all around better than most places I've been at recently. Lots of people came in 30-40 mins before closing time. Still, service was friendly and they weren't turned away. LOCATION At The Commons at Chino Hills. This is a large outdoor mall and have many parking spaces.

    Hey Jackson, Instead…read moreof giving me an imaginary prize for being relentless, I would much rather appreciate your business taking accountability for the really poor service I had to experience in order to get a basic refund as a result of a mistake that was clearly from your restaurant. I can definitely be more upfront about my dietary needs moving forward when ordering, but even your employee admitted over the phone that chicken is not automatically part of the item that I ordered. If your staff wanted to add chicken to an item that should be seafood only, perhaps they should have asked if I was okay with that. After communicating with your employee about my concerns, I realized that the mistake on the food was secondary compared to the horrendous service I experienced when I shared my concerns. In your reply, you failed to mention anything regarding customer service that I mentioned, so let me say these facts again. I was hung up on several times over the phone, ignored multiple times when I showed up in person the next day, pressured to sign a claims release in order to get the refund, then was told I was an inconvenience to your business. Another fact is I lost my appetite after tasting your food yet was essentially called a liar when I came in the next day because I didn't appear sick to your employee. I cannot believe that is how your employee was allowed to treat a customer and I honestly hope you had a serious conversation with them. For the record, I was signed out of my main account for several months and did leave a review on a temporary account. Once I gained access to my main account, the review on my temporary account got deleted because that account got deleted. I operate on only one account and needed to re-write any reviews that got deleted. Looks like someone reported my review for your business, so I did revise it to better follow yelp's guidelines. Therefore, it is absolutely not an exact duplicate of the previous review. The real impact here is not only the loss of appetite, but also how I was treated after I raised concerns. It really was one of the most horrendous experience with restaurant staff. I will never again feel comfortable stepping inside your restaurant that is careless enough to scoop an item that was already made with chicken in it instead of making a fresh one with only seafood then try to pressure a customer to sign a claims release to protect yourselves. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that and neither should anyone else.

    To my taste, this is by far the best Star Crab location I've been to…read more The owner and staff were genuinely friendly and helpful from start to finish, which already sets the tone. The flavor and seafood were absolutely on point. My group of five ordered the Snow Star Family Bucket with Full House sauce, and everything came out fresh, well-seasoned, and generously portioned. Portions were solid and we all left very full and very satisfied. If I had to nitpick: The mild Full House sauce was a little spicy for something labeled "mild." Still tasty, just a heads-up for anyone sensitive to heat. The fried calamari was good flavor-wise, but it was a bit light on calamari and heavy on fries. Small side note: my wife and I love having boiled eggs with our seafood boil, but unfortunately they don't offer boiled eggs here. Not a deal-breaker, just something we personally missed. Overall though, great food, great service, and a spot I'd happily come back to again. Easily our favorite Star Crab so far.

We were seated right…read moreaway, but they initially placed us at a table in the middle that was too small for our group of six, so we requested a booth along the wall instead. They provided us menus, pretty straightforward; choose seafood, add sides for an extra cost, choose the flavor, and the spice level. One thing not noted on the menu is that shrimp isn't peeled, but they can peel them for an extra $6. And each order comes in pound increments. No half a pound offered. Your table is also covered with paper so you can eat the seafood boil from there. They provide bibs and gloves for no charge. Ultimately, we enjoyed our meals. Everything was flavorful and, unlike some other seafood boil spots, it didn't leave us feeling like we had heartburn afterward. There's a little sink for you to clean your hands at, which is nice since you dont have to wait for the restroom to empty. The service is what was a bit off. Like we asked for 3 Cajun fry boats but only received 2. Drinks were mixed up, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until about 20 minutes after our seafood bags had already been delivered. If you want ranch for your fries, they charge 60 cents for a small container. For drink refills, they bring a pitcher, but it's the kind typically used for measuring ounces. The server also tended to reach across one end of the table to grab empty cups or pass out food. Since I was seated at the end, it felt awkward having to help pass things down, especially since there were other access points to reach people in our party. We left around 920pm. I only mention it because we were the last group there, and we all noticed the heater seemed to have been turned on. Restaurant sign says open til 10pm on Sat. but we saw them turn off their open sign when we went outside. Needless to say, service could have been better.
