Vine para probar unos tacos de lubina (bass) y están de buena porción. Los martes y los viernes los venden pero más pequeños recomendados los mas grandes por seguro! Y la salsa roja picante estan perfectas. Voy a regresar pronto otra vez para comer otros platos caseros. El ambiente es amplio mucho espacio para ti y tu familia para lonche o cena. Gracias por el servicio y los tacos deliciosos! I came to try some bass tacos, and they're a good portion. They sell them on Tuesdays and Fridays, but they're smaller; I definitely recommend the larger ones! And the spicy red salsa is perfect. I'll be back soon to try some of their other homemade dishes. The atmosphere is spacious, with plenty of room for you and your family for lunch or dinner. Thanks for the service and the delicious tacos! read more

Mariscos Sol Y Mar is so good. You will love it. It is a small chain, but each place is a little different. We really like this one. It is not huge and I think a lot of their food is to go and they also deliver. It is super clean and the people that work there seem happy. The service is great and they are pretty fast. I don't know if they take reservations, we just walk in and have never had a wait more than 5 minutes. It is really cute inside and it is comfortable. Some of them also have outdoor seating. We love all of their fish dishes. They have the best shrimp cocktails and the ones we get have avocado on them. The sauce is great and the shrimp is fresh. Any fish taco you want will be super. If you get a plate of food it comes with beans and the best rice, it is not the orange rice, it is white and ever so tasty. It does not matter what you order, it is all good. Have fun. read more

$1.25 Fish Taco Tuesdays!!! I seriously can't believe I've never been here for their Fish Taco Tuesdays. The fish is freshly battered to a crunchy, meaty morsel of heaven. If I could give this fine establishment 6 stars I would. The tacos are served on street taco sided tortillas with a bed of thinly cut cabbage under two decent sized pieces of crunchy fish all topped with what I believe is in house made tartar sauce. And no I'm not paid to do this review, but would except fish tacos as payment. Wink wink They also serve shrimp cocktail, shrimp soup, fish fillet plates and dinner plates of various seafood options of all the little mermaids friends. If you like battered fish tacos then this place is calling your name. The restaurant is located very near the intersection of Norwalk & Washington Blvd in West Whittier. read more

My second time ordering pick up. I ordered 2 fish tacos, a shrimp ceviche. My food was decent. My husband ordered a fish and shrimp burrito (mixed) I never seen him not finish a burrito even if he didn't really care for it. He had me smell the burrito and it did smell fishy not a good smell. He didn't finish the burrito, said it tasted like it smelled. So guess we probably won't go back. Service was ok. read more

Stopped by for lunch and had our dog, so they gave us the option to sit outside. It was a cool gesture because although they had a tent, it was not set up for lunch as the crowd was pretty small. Given we were outside the service was excellent as she checked on us often and the food was out quickly. Food was very good. We were in the mood for cocteles but my favorite mariscos place in Pico was closed (El Oasis) due to a fire so looked up Yelp for the next best option and here we are. We ordered a large pulpo cocktail and a large campechana with 3 oysters. The freshness and flavors were there with the option to add ketchup if you want a sweeter broth or hot sauce for those who like it spicy. Why not 5 stars? When it comes to cocktails, there are at least two other options that I prefer within a couple of miles. Mariscos El Oaisis and El Paisa. Oasis' broth is already perfect and doesn't need much more than tapatio from me. El Paisa has a basic broth to doctor up as well, but has a peppery base which I love. Paisa also includes oysters in their campechana and doesn't charge extra. Don't get me wrong, for the price (even with extra for oysters) it was a huge and well worth the price. Also with the addition of ketchup and tapatio, tasted really good. Some other pluses are that they give you free chips and salsa as well as both crackers and chips for the cocktails. I hate to choose. Plan to be back next time in the neighborhood and give some other options a try as they have a pretty large selection of seafood. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday. The place is not very nice to look at, nor is the parking lot. Table service is friendly, but the chips n salsa is average. The menu is huge but went with a tostada mixta and half dozen fully loaded oysters. The mixta was solid. Good portion but not the best quality seafood. Does the job for sure. The oysters were generously loaded but you lose the taste of the fresh oyster underneath. The tableware was all over the place with paper plate, plastic boat plate and metal tin. Avocado costs extra for all dishes. For the price I paid, not sure if I'll come back here. read more

Really like this place and I come on other days besides Tuesday ($1.25 Baja fish tacos ) but after a few minutes of our visit 11:22am 7/18/2023 I could tell they need help. Chips and salsa were bad stale chips and flavorless salsa and a 38 minute wait for huevos rancheros is not a good thing when the place is almost empty. I think that management or ownership has changed it wasn't like this a year ago slowly it has become more and more less the average. The place is old and shows it's age the lack of air conditioning doesn't help . Kitchen needs training and overall more help so disappointed one more place on the will not go back list . read more

My buddy recommended this place so I had to check them out. They are located in a shopping center on Norwalk just south of Washington. So we ordered the Tostada de Ceviche con Jaiba and boy was this was good! I am ahead of myself cuz I can't stop thinking how good this was. First had the Michelada and it was good. Next we ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters and they were fresh and so tasty . The agua chile de camarón was next (green) FU** it was BOMB and the shrimp cocktail was good. I am a firm believer they should cram it with shrimp and the big ones, which they didn't but it's okay! I think I just found my go to spot for mariscos if your in Whittier/Santa Fe Springs. All this place was missing was a juke box to play music and it would be complete. read more

Ordered shrimp cocktail, shrimp ceviche, and the aguachiles. I love the fresh flavor of their shrimp cocktail. It really captures the essence and fresh flavor of the ocean I hate when places add ketchup to their cocktel, this place doesn't and it was perfect! I just wish they used the bigger shrimp in it but can't complain, still yummy. The ceviche was good! Nothing crazy exceptional but solid and definitely tasty! Now the aguachiles.... CHILD. THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD! It was spicy and had coconut which i have never had in seafood before but it worked so well together. 20/10! So good. This place is a hidden gem, soo delicious and if I'm in the area, will always stop by! read more

Had a different place in mind. Was getting late and didn't want to deal with waiting. Stumbled upon this little place. Food was good. My wife Had a campechana. My daughter camarones A la Diabla I had the seafood molcajete And my son had the cheese enchiladas Food was hot and fresh really good. Molcajate was great could have had more seafood in it for the price. But it was overall great. My wife's cocktail was good. Kind of hard to mess that one up if you ask me My daughters camarones a la Diabla were just ok. They gave us rice and salad without dressing which now one ate. Seems like a waste. Had I known they were bringing that, would have definitely asked for refried beans instead. Worst part were the free chips and salsa. Then again they were free. But come on, don't serve bits of pieces of chips whether they are free or not. That's just wrong. And the salsa had little to no flavor. Pretty punch mashed up tomatoes. Again, it was free. So i guess you get what you pay for. Draft pints only $3.50 for imports. That was a plus. Overall good food. Place seems old and run down. Not in the best part of Whittier. But would come Back. Not in a rush but would come back. read more

However we were going either way because it was also our featured DJ's birthday. We made reservations but that was difficult too as we called for several days until someone actually answered the phone. I was a little surprised because the food we ordered were all pretty tasty, decent portions, and reasonably priced. The service was ok. Orders took a little time to arrive, but they made sure we had chips and salsa and with a full crowd and a limited number of wait staff, they made sure we were still being attended too.

Even though the restaurant is small and busy, we were seated right away, which was a great start. Our waiter Washington, was fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our whole experience even better. The atmosphere was perfect too. They had music playing at just the right volume and a big TV showing the live Dodger game, which the kids loved. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa had the perfect level of spice for everyone at the table. The kids ordered horchatas and were excited about the unlimited refills (something you don't always see at other restaurants!). The drinks for the adults were just as impressive. My wife's watermelon margarita on the rocks was perfectly made. It was not overly sweet or syrupy like at some places. Our friends had the "El Jefe" margaritas, and they definitely didn't skimp on the tequila! For dinner, everything was a hit. The kids loved their meals. Albóndigas soup, shrimp tacos, and street tacos--all served with rice and beans. The adult dishes were just as good. The carne asada arrachera was cooked perfectly, the chile verde was full of flavor, and my chicken mole was delicious with a great balance of spicy and sweet without being overwhelming. The portions were very generous, and everything came with rice, beans, and both corn and flour tortillas. The only small thing I would've preferred differently was the chicken in my mole. I personally would've liked a leg and thigh instead of sliced chicken breast but the dish was still very good overall. What really stood out was the hospitality. At the end of the meal, Washington offered us "holy water"-house tequila shots on the house--and it wasn't cheap tequila either! Then after the bill came, he surprised us again with another round of "holy water". That level of generosity and care really impressed us. We also learned that the restaurant has been there 20+ years and is family-run by him and his siblings, which made the experience feel even more personal. You can tell they have a loyal customer base--one couple even said, "See you tomorrow Washington!" The only feedback we'd offer (coming from a customer service background) is that we noticed a few guests waiting at the entrance without being greeted, and one couple actually left the restaurant. A simple "Welcome, we'll be right with you" would go a long way. That said, it didn't take away from our experience. Overall, amazing food, great service, generous portions, and a welcoming family atmosphere. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

To start, the complimentary chips and salsa was warm to the touch and with a delicate balance of spice and heat. My shrimp was cooked to tender goodness and given a numerous amount to quench my hunger. The flavors was one that I haven't had, but wanted more of. Spicy, but not overbearing. Hard to describe; unwittingly delicious. Rice - flavorful, but a bit chintzy. Service - attentive and not overbearing Cost - substantial appropriate.

Tried Taqueria Los Gueros recently and this definitely feels like one of those spots that just…read morekeeps it simple and does everything well.Started with the birria taco and consome which set the tone right away -- flavorful, juicy, and perfect dipped. The birria ramen was probably the most fun thing we ordered and actually worked way better than expected without feeling gimmicky.The burrito birria was loaded and super satisfying, and the mulitas with asada had really good crispy texture and flavor. Also tried the cabeza nachos which ended up being one of the sleeper hits of the meal.Overall portions were solid, food came out fast, and this feels like an easy spot to come back to when the birria craving hits.

I went on a taco run yesterday to try to find the best taco in Whittier…read more Started off the run with a keto taco mixed with asada and al pastor and then a regular tripa taco. Keto taco - toasted/grilled cheese instead of a regular tortilla - needed to be done a little more on one side as the cheese wasn't quite toasty enough to stay in place to slightly resemble the shape of a taco. Bit hard to eat, covered my hands in grease. Asada tastes almost boiled, and this being my 2nd or 3rd time getting the Asada here, it consistently tastes like it was boiled and not grilled. Unsure of meat quality or preparation, but there are no grill marks and it's a bit chewy. Same with the al pastor. Tripa taco was bizarre. Strips of flat skin instead of the usual roundish, cylindrical shape of tripa (intestine). Usually a saltier, fattier meat than asada, which is my preference but the one here was lacking in flavor and the texture threw me off a bit. Tripa can be chewy - unless requested extra done, which is how I normally order it - but there was no saving this tripa. I think it needs to be sliced differently, the cuts made it inedible. Brother shared some of his chorizo taco and it was the better of the bunch. Red chorizo, TJ style, although it was also lacking a teeny bit in flavor... onions and cilantro to the rescue! Still, mediocre. Salsas were ok, nothing out of the ordinary. Don't think the tortillas were homemade. Service was fine, cashier takes your order, dude at the counter was chill and had a friendly attitude. Seating was limited. Mostly bar style seating but the majority was in front of a window and it had so much heat trapped from the glass that it was kind of uncomfortable. Other seats are too close to the bathroom. Good for a quick bite or just pick-up orders. Wouldn't plan a sit down/dine-in visit. Parking is scarce and has really small spots, wouldn't come if you're driving a pick-up truck or anything like that. Food was reasonably priced, which is good, however; the food was lacking so I would not return.

When I reviewed my receipt, I noticed I had been charged incorrectly and brought it to Yasmin's attention. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, she was complete rude and I was informed that there would still be an additional charge to make the burrito wet, which contradicts the advertised special. I would appreciate clearer communication of promotions to staff to ensure customers are charged accurately and consistently. Would not recommend.

Fresh, homemade corn tortillas and full of flavor. Rice and beans were also delicious. Stick to my ribs good. Bartender was sweet and very nice. Would return.
