    Fish  taco
    Sb W.

    Great fish taco & great ceviche tostada! Place was busy, obviously a popular spot. Service was very attentive & food fresh & delicious!

    Natalia D.

    Not exactly the best service, it wasn't crowded but only 1 or 2 waitresses, the food was ok, nothing spectacular, the price not cheap, hopefully they invest in more people to serve faster and efficiently, at the end we wait for the pot to be processed, another person came to pick up the card. The place have potential with a good management, they have tables outside also and there's plenty of parking.

    Hair!!!!

    First time trying out this place. Took a bite then open up the taco to add more sauce... There's hair in my taco. Say no more! Threw out all 3 tacos.

    Tostada de camaron

    Love this spot. The food was on point. Very fresh and refreshing. They were super nice to me they even put the Dodgers game for me. in Anaheim. I will definitely be back for some more cravings of ceviche.

    La comida está deliciosa, tienen una salsa de la casa que hace las tostadas súper ricas. El servicio amigable, muy lindas. Solo no me gustó que utilizan platos/cucharas desechables en plena crisis ambiental

    shrimp ceviche
    Kim T.

    If you are craving ceviche, this is the place for you. I tried both the shrimp and fish ceviche tostada, and while both were good, the shrimp one was better! You can get this for yourself, or to share with others. They give extra limes on the side in case you want to add more to the ceviche. There is both seating inside and outside, and it is quite home-y feeling inside. Not all of the servers speak English, but don't let that stop you from coming and trying!

    food here is okay but seems pretty authentic. the marlin taco is in a hard shell taco and has cheese and crema. this is pretty good but the marlin meat was on the drier side. the fish taco was not good at all, the soft taco shell was cold and taco could've used more flavor. the ceviche is pretty good but a little too limey for my preference!

    All the sauces!

    The review that says "they don't speak English.." **eyeroll** BFF was digging in the trash for work earlier in the day. We were supposed to have dinner in Brea but, she had to go home and shower. We ended up here because her husband said "you can't have sushi because I want sushi but, I have to go to work." So we come to yelp... What a pleasant surprise! I like how it's a small menu, small restaurant, and friendly service. Everything my BFF and I had, we enjoyed. Botana de camaron, pulpo y aguachile - super fresh, had all the things and you know I am extra. I want to try a little of everything! Taco de camaron and taco de pescado - we ordered 1 of each to try and share. YUM. We were told that we need to get the Marlin taco. Ostiones - tasted fresh and hit the spot Michelada - the mix is amazing! My friend ended up getting some to-go for her husband. She ordered enchiladas togo for her husband and he really enjoyed it. I can't wait to bring my husband to this gem. I want to try the soups! I love soups. Our server was awesome. She was super helpful and friendly.

    Two shrimp ceviche tostadas, taco de marlin, aguachiles, and micheladas.

    I'm a big fan of ceviche and I've actually come to Mariscos Mocorito a few times already throughout the years. What I love is the shrimp ceviche and the taco de marlin. I would say those are their best items in my opinion. Their micheladas are excellent. Some of the cons are that the service and ambiance are not the best and the restaurant was very cold the last time I went. The servers are not very friendly. Our server actually dropped some cucumbers from our dish on the floor and then didn't replace them. The avocado on my tostada de ceviche was also pretty hard :/ I appreciate businesses having ACs, but the day I came it was freezing.

    Molcajete
    Yamilex R.

    First to start the service is good. The server kept checking on us every 5 min. He was very attentive. The place is nice and spaced out. There is two sides within the restaurant which is nice. The food is tasty. My husband had the molcajete and he said it was good with flavor. I had a tostada de camarón cosido and it was a nice portion & so were the tacos with good flavor.

    What's left of my delicious molcajete!  Soooooo good! A must try!

Start cleaning out underneath your table pushing you out as fast as they can. The bar just closes down not even announcing a last call. And what is with those awful margaritas. I can't believe that a Michelin feathered Mexican restaurant can serve such awful margaritas. And I am not alone as I mentioned it to another Restaurant crowd and they agreed and said they were probably the worst margaritas in Orange. I don't know whether it's the mix or the amount of alcohol or what it is but they come out watery and really sour. A totally good dining experience has to encompass everything, food is only 50% of the deal the other 50% is service with a smile, and this one lacks it. Now there could be a reason for this epic shutdown at 9 PM. But I wonder what it is? Santa Monica seafood in Santa Monica on Wilshire Boulevard has to have last orders in by 8:30 because if they are not closed out by 10 o'clock entirely, the neighbors complain that they are putting out trash and making a noise after 10 so that I understand. But it took me a year to find that out from the owners. Restaurant owners are so stuck up and anal, I know I was one. Gabbi, whom I have never seen, should spend a night or two watching her Restaurant closing up.

The beans did not taste watered down, and the enchiladas themselves were flavorful. I always worry about shrimp overpowering the sides of a dish but it tasted great. The rice was also really filling. We had a reservation and they seated us at a pretty big table, which I liked. The servers were very timely, kind, and knowledgeable about each dish on the menu and the rotating specials. The inside of the restaurant was HUGE. I'm pretty sure it was built inside of a church. I really liked the stained glass and elevated seating areas nearby, it reminded me of the Old Spaghetti Factory layout in Fullerton. Overall, I had a very positive experience. I had to get a Diet Coke and of course, it was crisp to my expectations. A little heads-up, unlike the Costa Mesa location, they do not have horchata. Nevertheless, I'd come here again to try their burritos, tostadas, and salads!

But once again one has this perfunctory service, that is service that is merely to get through a night and not to enhance a dining experience. So many restaurants now seem to have the same problem, that is servers who just want to get through the evening and get it over with. The service industry has really taken a dive since my day. I don't get it. Don't they get paid more than they used to just a year or two ago. Anyway, I do enjoy the Camerones. But, the dreadful flan that I was served. This is such a basic desert and very easy to make, but one can overcook the egg proteins easily and the whole thing is grainy, scrambled and not pleasant to eat. Basically it should be cooked in a Bain Marie. Probably a lost art. Avila's has several locations and one may differ from another. The one I ate at is in Orange.

The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum
