    The food was so good & fresh! I highly recommend coming in and trying the food & Micheladas. The place was clean & the servers were attentive.

    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.

    The shrimp cocktail with pulpo !

    This is my mom's and I's favorite location for some delicious lukewarm shrimp cocktail with pulpo! Her and I have recommended it to MANY and they love the service & how quick the servers are! It's always so clean inside and they have all you need right at your table!

    Mariscos a little bit of everything

    Great food. You can tell it's fresh, Except the oysters. The Micheladas are the best I've ever had.

Staff is always nice and knowledgeable. We normally bring our wine and just have it corked there, but last time we were here, we enjoyed their selection as well. We love the interior with all the brick and lowered lighting. Provides a little more intimate of a setting. We actually came on my birthday in April (sorry the review is so late), but the staff all signed a birthday card for me and left confetti on the table. Nice touch. The food. We had the lava shrimp to start and of course the freshly baked loaf. I can't say anything bad. It's all fresh and the flavors are amazing. I got the venison chops cooked rare. Wow. First time I've had venison like this, and man. The presentation was cool. Waiter brought it out covered in glass and opened up the container in front of me so I could see the smoke leave the plate. She got the surf and turf, which is always nice. Steak cooked perfectly, lobster cooked perfectly, potatoes with the brown butter were delicious. Owen's never fails to let us down and we will keep coming back. Kudos to the owner and the chef for doing a bang up

Would've gave 4 stars but please read below. Here's are the negatives about this restaurant: - They do not answer their phone for phone orders. The one time they did for me, they put me on hold and never got back to me. I drove there and pulled into the lot listening to the employee chatting with customers coworkers the whole drive there. - Their business hours are not very friendly because they close at 7pm. Who closes at 7pm? - Their business is closed every Wednesday. (Just like Chick-Fil-Fil, who we all want on Sundays when they're closed). - Most of the time, the wait in line and the wait for your food can take longer than you'd expect. Can't come here if you have any kind of time issue. - Obvious staffing issue. You have plenty of customers. Having one more employee would provide better and faster service. I believe that will create more repeat customers.

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.

This place wasnt packed at all. I arrived on a Tuesday around 7pm. Once inside I saw someone ordering at the register and noticed they have big touch screens that you can order at so I just ordered there. They also allow you to put notes on the order in case you want to make any modifications. We ordered the poke nachos and the beef combo. The poke nachos was BOMB.COM. it was loaded! Normally I've had poke nachos with wonton chips but this was unique because it had tortilla chips. It held up pretty nice with all the sauce they put on it. The beef combo was okay. It needed more flavor. Luckily they alsp give you a teryaki sauce too. The Mac salad was also very tasty, it had a garlic taste. Id probably come back for the nachos. That was delicious. They also have tvs playing sports so its a nice area to just eat and relax. Great spot!
