We drive from eastvale to eat here .. We haven't been here in a couple month, I don't remember the hours being from 10pm - 7pm for dining in .. If you get there at 6:55pm they make you order for to go only, they don't offer hot food past 7pm, when they close at 8pm .. The restaurant is rather fast I wished they offered dining in services for the extra hour. They are a cash only, thankful there is an atm machine inside. read more

I really love the food from here. The Culiacán style is my favorite mariscos. This place is cash only so make sure you plan accordingly or you can use the ATM inside. We ordered the Cazuelita Mixta and a cooked shrimp plate. Both were excellent. The waitresses did a good job asking if we needed anything and the food came out pretty quickly. The ambience is that of most Marisco restaurants with music playing. Overall, the food is great here. read more

When searching for another Mariscos spot in the area, we found Maricos El Rafa. Mariscos El Rafa is located in a small strip mall near the 60 Freeway in Chino. The interior is clean but disjointed with half of the space having little lighting. You can tell the owner made an effort to make the interior as welcoming as possible. It should also be noted the business only accepts cash. Regarding the food, we had the crab salad, breaded shrimp, and tilapia. The latter two entrees came with rice and beans. The breaded shrimp was good, and the tilapia had little taste. On the topic of taste, the refried beans were very average, and the rice was hard and contained several clumps. The crab appeared to be imitation and was served on a styrofoam plate. Regarding the service, it was excellent. Each of the employees were welcoming and attentive. read more

This is the first time that we sat down and ate at this establishment. We have always picked up tubs of Mariscos to go for our family functions, the Mariscos were really delicious. Dinner tonight was good, Coctel Maleficio Aguachile, callo de hacha, this was made of Aguachile, shrimp, and scallops, and was delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it. The tacos de Camarón were also very good. The service was great. The young lady that waited on us was courteous, friendly and attentive. The structure is medium in size with plenty of tables and chairs and booths to sit down and enjoy your meal. The prices are fairly reasonable in line with other establishments of its kind. There's plenty of parking with the handicap stalls near the front entrance. read more

I wanted to try this place because I love seafood and the pictures on the website looked really good. First negative was that they accept cash only. Then we were served with styrofoam plates and plastic utensils. We ordered an appetizer that was $30. It was super salty and wasn't worth the price for the small plate. The micheladas were served in plastic cups and super salty as well. Not worth $10.75 . We will definitely not be returning and would not recommend. read more

I haven't done a review in a while as I usually don't have much time after having dinner and getting home late. This time I am going to just because I am a bit upset at the service. However, let me start saying the food was good and delicious. The ambience was ok although we sat next to some men that may have had a bit too many beers and were well a bit loud. I will say if you do visit take cash as they only take cash. They do have an ATM but you know they will charge you for taking money out. Another thing to be mindful and I should mention is to count your change as they were shorting me 10$z . The young lady simply gave me my change real quickly and said GRACIAS, I turned around and started walking out as I dropped the tip in the tip jar. I then proceeded to count my change and turned back and said hey you shorted me? She right away said what 5$! I said yes! And she handed me the 5$ and smirked. All I can say about this is it may have been an accident but be careful and count your change. I think it was not an accident. Just FYI. I will be going back but I guarantee I will be more careful on counting my change and hope I get better service. read more

Fish was cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth 5/5 Lava shrimp- came with a good amount of jumbo shrimps, which were cooked perfectly.

Outside, they had live music, which added such a nice touch to the evening. There was no wait when we arrived, which was a huge plus. For an appetizer, we tried something that wasn't on the regular menu, a 25-year-aged cheese, I believe, and it was absolutely delicious. For my entrées, I ordered the Rack of New Zealand Lamb and the 12-ounce Tajima Australian Wagyu Ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection and were delicious! I will say that this is definitely a little on the pricey side, especially since we weren't celebrating anything special, we simply came out for dinner. But overall, I thought it was worth trying, and I really enjoyed the secluded, private atmosphere. It felt like such a nice little escape. Honestly, take a first date here! The ambiance, live music, privacy, and food make it a really nice spot for a special evening. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

I can't prove it, so I can only share our experience, but it honestly felt like there were fewer than 15 shrimp in the bag. For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

This is not a cheap place for dinner and drinks. What I did enjoy here is the corn cheese, kimchi pasta, kimchi pancake, and the most important grilled kimchi pork belly. They are all well seasoned, not watery, and a good mix of salty, sour, savory, and spicy. If you're wanting something less flavorful, I would always suggest getting the fish cake soup and adding udon to the broth. That always settles my stomach after multiple bottles of Soju. The service is usually good, especially when it gets busy. The servers usually have a smile on and are nice. The restaurant is on the darker side and the music isn't too loud.

I had a great meal at Mariscos El Rafa! I ordered the ceviche with pulpo, agua chiles, and camarones, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was generous--perfect for sharing with my sister. One thing to note is that the restaurant is cash only, which was a bit inconvenient, but luckily, we were prepared. The drink options are all bottled, and there aren't many choices for kids, so I wouldn't recommend bringing little ones under six if they don't eat seafood. The service was a bit slow, and the staff wasn't very attentive, but honestly, I'd still come back just for that ceviche! read more

Food is alright but the girl with the red/orange hair think her name is hazel is sooooooo RUDE. She needs to get some manners I don't understand how anyone would ever want to go in and deal with a miserable person like that. I do not recommend this place to anyone. Don't waste your time. I feel bad for the staff that has to work with such a horrible person. read more

This place is a hidden GEM! The staff are so sweet and hardworking. I come here all the time…read more There was a very entitled review left here by Wouldyie G. - complaining about them not answering their phone and how they/he/she had to wait in line and ** gasp** they close on wednesday and blah blah blah. Its a small family owned business with a small staff. They don't have the capacity to roll out the red carpet for every customer. They are busy for a reason! Their food is delicious, reasonably priced, fairly clean for a hole in the wall and the staff is nice. I sometimes can get my order in over the phone, sometimes not. I am not gonna cry about it on the internet. i am glad they have steady business. they deserve that.

The mixtas and the ceviches are also very good…read more Sometimes the portions are off when you order to go and they will add a little bit of shrimp and a lot of cucumber and red onion which is unfortunate. The spiciness varies because one day it's perfect and the next time it's so spicy it's difficult to even eat because it's all spice and no flavor. However, the staff are always so friendly and they are very accommodating which keeps me coming back. The restaurant is small and not many tables or chairs but people don't linger much after they've finished their meal so it's easy to get a seat.

For a Monday, it wasn't so busy, the place was nice and clean, a few ppl eating there too. I ordered "El Maleficio" and mannnn, not only was it hooked up--but it sure hit the spot. I will definitely be coming here more. Encantada con el aguachile que ordené la verdad, picosito y sabroso. Pedí "El Maleficio", andaba con un antojo y se me logro.

I haven't tried all the food, but what I have tried I've really enjoyed with the exception of today which is why I only gave it 4 stars. There's plenty of room for improvement, for starters the menu. If you've never been here imagine only the name of the plate with NO description, NO photos. Imagine trying to remember it all as you ask about any or all of them. It's frustrating. I will attach photos and reviews What I didn't like was the empapelado. It was basically seafood steamed in foil packet with melted cheese! It lacked seasoning and flavor! The tortillas they served with it were nasty textured and flavored.

The restaurant itself is a decent size with quite a few tables but with how crowded it is it seems small haha. I frequent this place it never disappoints.

That was a red flag but I was like screw it, it's a hot day and I'm craving a shrimp cocktail. The cup is huge but the problem is it had nothing but juice.
