    1000/10 the customer service and quick service is unbeatable. I enjoy ordering ahead when I call and their accuracy when your food is ready is always correct. I enjoy the mom and pop feel. I can never go wrong with the ceviche plato shared between two and their fish tacos! I promise you, you won't be disappointed!

    I was craving some tacos today and wanted to explore Lawndale and all it has to offer. I stumbled upon Mariscos through Yelp and decided that this will be the place that will cure my cravings. I called in to pick up (because, hello, omicron, anyone?) and they said that my order will take about ten minutes. I was soooo excited. The tacos are huge and hearty. The fish grilled to perfection. The rice is fluffy and perfectly seasoned. Chips and salsa were included. The server at the counter had a lovely demeanour and an even lovelier sense of humour. I really can't wait to try other things on the menu and tbh I think this will be my go-to taco place now!!

    Longosta!! That shit was bombacious!! Bomddiggity!! NO DOUBT!!!!!

    The price has gone up but ima let it slide!! A shrimp taco plate and a jarritos will run you $18,but worth it. The presentation was beautiful. Will definitely fill you up. I was a little depressed and wondering about the meaning of life just before I put in my order. Then I park my car,ate my food while watching my name is Earl and realized life isn't soo bad! Damn tacos had me humming and singing I just died in your arms tonight!!

    Everyone knows the best food comes from the hole in the walls. I really liked this hole is the wall mariscos/seafood restaurant. I had the Mexican cane sugar based soda with the shrimp burrito. The Mexican fried rice wasn't the best but the flavor and freshness of the shrimp made up for it. The mariscos/seafood tacos are crunchy and made fresh to order. I love that they top the tacos with big portions of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and cotija cheese. I definitely recommend this spot when in the Hawthorne area (very close to LAX) for some delicious mariscos!!!

    Absolutely Been here 4-5 times. Always order the Aguaschilis, shrimp ceviche and a couple modelos. I'm sure I tore up the spelling

    Ok, This place deserves a review asap so here I am. Came to this spot to enjoy ceviche and got their fish option and its so far the best I have had in our area. The fish option was really well mixed and it was filled with flavor. I tried their salsa and tostadas as well and they were all amazing. We ordered their langostinos which are grilled and they were cooked to perfection. Lots of flavor and prices were very fair. The location has a good amount of seating and when we came in there were only a few other people there but it did fill out a bit more later on. I will definitely be back at this place soon! It will most likely be my go to going forward! If you are in the area, stop by, you will not be disappointed.

    So happy that hubbs and I stumbled upon this restaurant! I had the tostada de ceviche mixto along with the langostinos and they were both delish! I've been here only once but I will absolutely be back! It's a small restaurant but service is pretty fast! Also plenty of parking in this structure.

    This place serves really good 7 mares soup and shrimp cocktails. The saying of the hole in the wall restaurants tend to have good food definitely describe this place! Food was delicious ambiance was calm staff was very friendly.

    Expect authentic traditional plates & attentive servers. My favorite spot for mojarra frita, carne asada & aguachiles. I've been eating here for a couple years and explored most of the menu. These three are in my opinion the best (obviously biased). The vegetables are always fresh, you can tell they're cut daily not days before. The mojarra is fried but the inside is juicy never dry. The asada is sooooo good, cooked perfectly with the best seasoning. I don't even get how you can make asada this good. I appreciate them for substituting rice & beans for more salad. The restaurant is clean the bathrooms are clean and the ambiance is casual. My only issue is the micheladas! They're so disappointing. It could be the mix they make themselves but they're just not good. Overall if you're craving some good South American cuisine give them a try! Cold beer & delicious food.

    Fried pescado tacos and tacos gobernador

    Literally the best fish tacos in the South Bay. We got fried pescado tacos and tacos gobernador

    Southern California is rich and diverse with different foods...worldwide, if you want it, thought it, read about it, or even just discovered it...it is here somewhere waiting to be put on your dinner plate and enjoyed. So it was no surprise that for dinner tonight I didn't need to look far. Yelp reviews were all positive. The establishment is hidden in a little strip mall and quite unnoticeable. But look for it you will not be disappointed...!!! The dining room is small, simple, but comfortable. Tonight I ordered the Seafood Cocktail as my starter, and the Mixed Grilled Seafood as the main entrée. I love shrimp cocktails, but this was much different then anything I've had before...it arrived first, in a large goblet, cold, and oh so tasty. This was perhaps the best seafood cocktail that I have ever had. Absolutely remarkable. Shrimp, scallops, tomatos, other chopped veggies in a very tasty broth. WOW...!!! Next arrived the mixed grill seafood, with prawns, octopus, fish, scallops...the most remarkable of flavors. If I would have been the only person in the room, I'd have licked the plate. Yes, it was that good. When one thinks seafood, you don't really think "mexican seafood"...Well, perhaps we should. Mariscos La Fiesta is a family owned and operated small business. These are your friends and neighbors...they are cooking up remarkable foods...go give them a try...you will not be disappointed...!!!

The steak is or was, mediocre. This is a seafood restaurant and specialty. If you come here, I'd say don't do the surf and turf (steak) but opt for more seafood. The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.

As for food we got the Combo 2 and our choices were shrimp, clams and snow crab. We went with the Torpedo sauce for our boil cause it was a mixture of all their other sauces (garlic butter, classic cajun and lemon pepper) and we got it at a medium spice level. And oh boy oh boy did it set our mouths on fire but in the best way possible!! The sauce was everything we wanted it to be, spicy, savory, garlicky, tangy and just pure indulgence. To calm the heat though we also got cajun fries, rice, Thai tea and Jasmine milk tea. Sharing a meal with a friend is always nice but sharing a meal with a friend here is great.

The menu lists market price for their seafood, but nowhere to physically see the prices so you must ask the waiter. I ordered a pound of head on shrimp in spicy torpedo sauce (their house combination sauce) and some mild cajun fries for sharing. The shrimp was well cooked and a nice aroma of garlic lingered from the chunks of garlic visible in the sauce. The sauce had decently chunky bits which adhered to the shrimp well enough and was delicious with a nice kick of heat. The shrimp were less than fresh but perfectly palatable. The Cajun fries were lightly seasoned, with a crisp (but not too crunchy) coating, similar to the exterior of an onion ring. They were great for snacking and whetted my appetite well. All in the food was good, but I just wish the shrimp was fresher to lend some subtle sweetness and fresh feeling to the dish.

I wished to connect with her in an effort to re-establish our work relationship after being out of the loop the last few years. I was hopeful that Eddie V's would prove an ideal location with which to impress. Indeed it was! We began what would turn out to be one of the most enjoyable outings in fine dining since I have been in L.A., and the South Bay/Manhattan Beach area in particular. I can say that Eddie V's hit on all three elements that most look for when considering fine dining options-the ambiance (location itself), the food, and of course my #1 thing-the level of customer service! Other than past experiences in my 2nd home of New Orleans, (where top tier customer service is to be expected from "hole in the walls" to century old restaurants such as Antoine's, Galatoire's, and Commander's Palace-this was bar none my best fine dining experience in Los Angeles.......ever! Over the course of the next few hours, we would indulge in the following: Starters: *Caesar Sald-light and scrumptious. (I devoured this option in under 10 minutes) *Shrimp Cocktail-presented as a table spread as opposed to the shrimp being hooked on the outside of a generic wine glass. The shrimp were large and super fresh. We both moved in for the attack here! Dinner: *Crab Cakes (3) These are bar none the absolute best in L.A. I had two, and my guest knocked out one of them-they tasted just like Gulf crab-which is saying something. *One 8oz Filet Mignon-cooked to perfection (we kind of split this) lol Beverages: *GL Substance (aka the house red), which I enjoyed thoroughly. * Smoked Old Fashioned (part of a nice presentation where our server literally lit up fire and "smoked it" in front of my guest. *Perfect Margarita-a certified margarita according to my guest. * Fresh coffee and cream-hot and fresh like the food! Desert: *Celebration Dessert which consisted of a variety of special treats-all of which were complimentary. *Meyer Lemon Tart-a mouthwatering offering that was the epitome of that perfect blend where lemon and sugar meet in the middle. Customer Service The CSA, or Customer Service All Star of this experience was Kayla P-pictured. Honorable mention goes out to hostess Azhanee-pictured. Server Kayla P and Hostess Azhanee collaborated as a team and ennsured that my guest was greeted by name and that her valet was already paid upon arrival! GM Melissa L Pacana checked in on us a few times, thereby adding the cherry to the top of this A-1 experience.
