I rarely write negative reviews. In fact, most of the reviews I leave are very positive. I also try to support local businesses and give them the benefit of the doubt. But what happened today was handled so poorly that I feel compelled to share it. I have been a regular customer here for quite some time and have always spoken very highly of this place. I have brought many friends here and even celebrated my birthday at Loreto, which is the dinner concept they operate in the same location at night. I usually come here for lunch because the food is normally very good and it has been one of my favorite spots. Today was a complete disaster. I ordered two Tostadas Bonito and waited more than 50 minutes for them. After about 30 minutes I flagged the delay to the bartender/cashier because that is very unusual for this place. While waiting, I watched other customers receive the exact same dish even though they had arrived and ordered after me. When I asked about it, the bartender said he was only responsible for taking orders and was not sure why it was taking so long, but that the kitchen would work on it and bring the food to my table. After another 20 minutes I spoke with a server who said he would check on it. He later returned and said the manager would come talk to me. No refund or real solution was offered. The manager eventually came to the table, apologized, and said this should never have happened. She told me twice that she would bring me her card and contact information so she could take care of me the next time I came in. She even mentioned she remembered me from previous visits since I am a regular. She never came back. Eventually I left the restaurant and saw her sitting inside. She never bothered to return to the table or follow through on what she said. The situation was simply left unresolved. To make matters worse, we ordered two mezcal margaritas expecting to have them with our food, which took more than 50 minutes. Both drinks were served less than half full in the glass and still charged $19 each. I have ordered this same drink there many times before and the glass is normally almost full. When I mentioned it to the bartender who served them, he just smiled. I am attaching photos of the drinks exactly as they were served, without even having taken a sip. What is most disappointing is not only the wait, but how badly the situation was handled. No accountability, no effort to resolve the problem, and a manager who promised to follow up and simply never returned. For a place I have supported for years, recommended to many people, and celebrated special occasions at, this was honestly shocking. Sadly, after this experience, I will not be coming back and will not recommend it to anyone. I will also be letting friends who became regulars because of my recommendation know how this situation was handled. read more

Mariscos Za Za Za - $19 Mezcal Margaritas, as served... what a joke! - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The entrance is at the back of the building, just keep walking down Blake Ave. Las Flautas Ahogadas were my favorite! They were seasoned and fried perfectly! The red salsa that the flautas sat on had great umami flavor and when doesn't an avocado add creaminess? They definitely hit the spot! The Aguachile Hulk had a good spice level that built as we kept eating; it was refreshing, and the acidity was excellent! The Gran Burrito Camaron was OK. Our Frogtown Fries were salty. We tried both of their aguas frescas - delicious! The strawberry agua was sweet while the lime agua was tangy - both were refreshing! LA Churros were also fried well and weren't overly sweet. The serving size was perfect, and the dipping sauce was tasty. Service was welcoming and attentive! The dining area is spacious. We visited on a good day; there was plenty of shade and a nice breeze. read more

Made the drive out to Mariscos Za Za Za and it was worth it. It's a bit far from me, but the outdoor seating has such a great vibe that you end up wanting to hang out for a while. The food was really good, everything tasted fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for a spot with good energy, solid seafood, and a relaxed atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. read more

What a great spot! The outdoor seating area is so cute and creates the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy a meal.

If you like Mexican seafood, this place is calling your name. I was searching for random spots to eat with a friend and we decided on this place because ceviches/tostadas looked so legit. Its in the "backyard" of another restaurant so the entrance is this dirt pathway. You order at the window, pay, and they'll bring your food out. Seating is outdoors in the open. Theres some trees and shade in certain areas but on a sunny day it'll still get hot. We ordered (if I'm not remembering incorrectly): el aguachile hulk, tostada bonito, el coctelito, una costra por favor. Everything was delicious and for the most part, very fresh tasting as well. The scallops that that "fizzy taste" which I wasn't a fan of. All the dishes very flavorful. I'd say my favorite was the aquachile. Tostadas are mostly small and palm sized, the other dishes are shareable. I'd go back again. Only thing I wasn't a fan of was how hot it was outside. It would be nice to have cooling fans and something to deter the flies. Flies and fresh seafood really don't mix. We weren't allowed to sit inside the restaurant during lunch despite there being a bunch of open tables so that was interesting (not sure if its because its separately owned). read more

NOTE: Dined in on 8/9/25. Check hours, as they're very limited. That's why it took so long for me to get around to trying it! Frogtown is one of my favorite parts of the city, even though I tend to stray away from the river path itself since I've been absolutely demolished by mosquitoes there in the past. And despite the name, I don't think there are too many frogs left there, but that's another story for another day! Mariscos Za Za Za is in Loreto's backyard, and both restaurants are part of the same restaurant group that brought us LA Cha Cha Cha (sadly closing soon). Now, I know that some people view LA Cha Cha Cha as a spot that's more about the vibes than the kinda pricey food, but I think that Mariscos Za Za Za is more than reasonably priced for the quality of seafood you're getting! Plus it's in a shady backyard with cute tables and a feeling as if you went to someone's semi-gentrified backyard party. You order up front and then find yourself a seat. Self-serve water, utensils, and salsa, so pretty simple. The food is beautifully plated and comes out as it's ready. Here's a breakdown: Tostada de camaron - Forgot to take a photo of this but it's pretty huge! Mix of cooked and raw shrimp, pineapple, agua chile, avocado, red onion, cucumber, and cilantro. They load up the avocado here! The raw shrimp was my favorite part, as it was slightly creamy and had that delectable slightly chewy, but not too chewy texture. The pineapple added just a tiny hint of sweetness to balance out the slight heat and moderate acidity from the agua chile. There's a tostada at the bottom that will get soggy, but there's also another one on top that stays crunchy, so you and your dining companions can enjoy the best of both worlds! Tostada Bonito - One of my favorite tostadas ever! Baja yellowtail, tobiko mayo, bonito, capers, radish. Strong umami flavors from the tobiko mayo and bonito flakes on there, capers to help provide some acidity, and yet all of those elements don't take away from the flavor of the actual fish! Delicate chew to the baja yellowtail, and just such a delightful mash of textures and flavors. El Coctelito Acapulco - This is huge! Shrimp, Mayan octopus, bay scallop, cucumber, tomato, and onion. Tomato flavor is not overwhelming and allows you to enjoy each element of the seafood. Octopus was tender, raw scallops were great, and the shrimp was cooked. It's served with crackers on the side, which were fine. But honestly, you could eat it without the crackers and it'd still be tasty! but it's so big that I don't know if I'd order it again. Probably the item we liked the least out of everything, but it was still tasty! Las Flautas Ahogadas - Shrimp, sea bass (almost like shredded type of texture), avocado, and Mexican Crema. It's on a bed of mild roasted tomato salsa and wow, such a good combo. It's a little on the drier side, but you get to enjoy the crisp of the outside of the fish/shrimp, that might be deep fried a bit in a batter? Then you get the crema, avocado, and salsa involved... that's when it becomes a party. I hope this spot is able to thrive! It's been open for a couple of years and I hardly see anyone writing about it. Go and support if you can! It's right up there with Holbox in terms of Mexican seafood spots. read more

I wanted to try Mariscos Za Za Za during DineLA. Their $25 lunch menu looked like a good deal, and I was intrigued by the Quesabirria del Mar option for the hot dish. Turns out, even though it was included on the DineLA sample menu, the menu at the restaurant has been updated specifically to remove that as a choice. I ended up going with the other (now only) taco option, El Classico Taco de Fish. I thought this was a solid if fairly conventional fish taco, and works fine as part of the DineLA set menu. If I had paid $9 a la carte, I would have expected more; either two tacos per order, or at least a better quality fish than tilapia. Similar story with the agua fresca. A nice inclusion with the set, but otherwise you're paying most of a Hamilton for a glass that's majority ice and seltzer. First couple sips were delicious before the ice started melting. The real winner turned out to be El Aguachile Hulk. Super bright and tangy with the right amount of kick, and plenty of fresh raw shrimp. Enough to load up two tostadas and then some, you can easily share this dish, but I was happy to have it myself down to the last drop. The LA churros were cute and a fun novelty, but probably play better with tourists than Frogtown locals. The shape means they cook a little unevenly in spots, but nothing too bad. 4 stars is reflective of the DineLA price. If I had paid closer to the $40 that these same items would have totaled on the regular menu, I'd probably drop it down to three. Hopefully they return to DineLA in the future, with an accurate online menu next time too. One other thing, they have very limited hours. Weekdays your only options are Thursday and Friday from 12-3:30. This also corresponds neatly with the neighborhood street cleaning schedule, Thursdays and Fridays from 12-2, meaning unless you want a late lunch or can go on a weekend, finding nearby street parking is going to be a unique challenge. read more

What is the best thing about a meal at a restaurant that just rocks your world: The food must have been amazing The restaurant itself must have been unique and special and You need a chisel to knock the smile off your face What is the worst thing about a restaurant meal that just rocks your world: Whatever the food you just had, cannot be duplicated anywhere else and that fact alone, makes any other restaurant making similar food, not going to able to cut the mustard! There in lies my problem with Mariscos Za Za Za The regional Mexican food we had here for lunch today was so good, it has completely "Jacked" me. For instance, the El Gran Burrito Camaron I ordered here was positively the best burrito I've ever had. How can I go back to Chicago, go to my #1 burrito place and not compare with Za Za - that's an impossible task! That goes for the our Las Fluatas Ahogadas and our Tostadas Cameron! This place is so good, any other Mexican food put in front of me, I'm afraid to say, could not live up to what I just consumed. Everything about Za Za was sensational, except..............on this drizzly, overcast, cold (58°) and gloomy day we were forced to sit outside for no other reason than, there was no other reason? Sure, they brought out a heat lamp, but eating this magnificent food wearing a park - PLEASE! And, with all of that shivering and hand rubbing, I'm still giving Za Za a Five Star review? Yea, it was just that good. read more

We had an absolutely great lunch at Za Za Za recently. We started off with strawberry, basil & lime agua frescas. They had these to you at the counter as you order. So good and comes with crushed ice. The superior ice. Great combination of flavors that were really refreshing on a cool but sunny day. Tostada Bonito ($11) or yellowtail tostada was DELICIOUS. I loved the union of flavors & textures. The tobiko mayo with the bonito & crispy capers on top were just perfect with the yellowtail & pickled radish. We ordered this multiple times. It was that good. Coctelito Acapulco ($16) was tasty. This seafood cocktail comes in a large mug filled with shrimp, octopus, scallops, tomatoes, onions & cucumber. Tasty and refreshing elements of the sea. Eat with the provided crackers. Una Costra Por Favor ($9) was a hot dish of epic proportions. A combination of Oaxaca & gruyere cheeses, pasilla chile, shrimp & black beans all in the middle of a flower tortilla and meant to be eaten like a taco except the filling is twice as long as the flour tortilla. Gotta love it! Good strong flavors, excellent cheese. I've never had anything like it. This is a heavier choice. El Clasico Taco de Fish ($9) used fried tilapia, cilantro crema, a delicious pico using halved baby tomatoes, cabbage & avocado. This is not your run of the mill fish taco. It's a good one. Las Flautas Ahogadas ($9) was DELICIOUS. We had to order it twice. Love the flavors of sea bass & shrimp inside the flautas. The avocado topping it, salsa and crema over everything. Just really great bites. So good. Mi Quesabirria del Mar ($11) was super tasty. The flavors of albacore, Oaxaca cheese, corn, guajillo, in a flour tortilla which you then dip into a seafood consome made for good shared bites amongst our party of 4. Las Frogtown Fries ($22) was a great shared plate with shrimp, lobster, mayo, cilantro, jalepeno and onions served on top of crispy thin fries. Very good with a slight kick. LA Churros ($10) was delicious and literally are in the shape of LA. Think Estevan Oriol's most famous photo. These churros were good. You get 3 LAs per order. We got 2 orders. It was more than enough for us 4. Comes with a citrus dipping sauce which I did not need. Everything we had, we loved. We cant wait to go again to try the few missed and again have the things we loved. Street parking is tough. Valet at Loreto's lot is $15. Go around back, order at the counter, pay at the counter, take your number and your food will be brough to you. Self-service utensils, table napkins & bottles of still water are at a station by the counter. Great great place for mariscos. Service was friendly & helpful. read more

Coming here felt like I was somewhere in Mexico enjoying some good mariscos and if I was on vacation. Although I will say it was a little hard to find as there was no sign or anything located in the front, but the valet parking attendant directed us in the correct direction. As we walked up to the building, we saw there was a line at a window to order so we knew we were in the right place. We order your food and drink drinks first and they give you a number which you then take to the table and they bring you your food there. We happen to come during dine LA week and for $25 we got a little bit of everything. My personal favorites were the Aguachiles, flautas, and the LA churro dessert. We also got one of the lime, jalapeño drinks without alcohol and it was super delicious. Their playlist made everything even better as it sounded like they were playing directly from my Spotify. Overall, I really liked the ambience and the food was delicious as well. Next time I plan on trying some of their alcoholic drinks. read more

Im being biased because I love walking to this place!! Perfect spot for lunch whether you're meeting friends or just enjoying some solo time. The service is always great, and the music es la onda, especially when the Mexican playlist is on. It really sets the mood. I'm obsessed with the Aguachile Hulk it's a must if you love the fire!! The tostada de camarón is another favorite, with the perfect balance of raw and cooked shrimp. The tostada bonito is delicious too, though I always feel like it needs a little extra salsa verde (just my preference). Their salsa negra is SO good! pairs perfectly with the aguachile. The space has a beautiful, backyard desert-like vibe with super cute umbrellas, making it feel relaxed but still aesthetic. The michelada is perfect for a hot day or as a cruda cure, and the Semi Tropic Passion mezcal drink is easily my favorite. read more

Pricey for lunch but gourmet Mexican. Hard to find parking, might need to walk a block or so. Great food and good service.

This review is mostly to praise the Todos Santos Milk Punch and to encourage people to order it so it will stay on the menu! It's my new favorite cocktail and so uniquely delicious. Tried it at Loreto and returned a week later to enjoy it during the day at Za Za Za. Ambience, service and food are great as well. read more

Neighborhood gem of a Mexican restaurant that specializes in...you probably guessed it: mariscos or seafood. This place is almost hidden - honestly, if I didn't just blindly follow the location listed and looked around, I may have just missed it if driving by. Came there during lunch with a good friend so not sure if service is different at different times, but it's more of a fast casual model where you order from the counter/ window and have a seat. The place was chill with a relaxed, beautiful outdoor seating area in the back. There is also seating inside, but we took advantage of the great weather. The food here is awesome and well presented. I really enjoyed everything we ordered. And my buddy and I wanted to try as much as possible so we just ordered a bunch and shared including: Los Tostilocos, Las Flautas Ahogadas, Mi Quesabirria Del Mar, and Tostada de camaron. The seafood was just so fresh and tasty. The texture was crisp where it needed to be crisp and there was a good amount of acidity. I really enjoyed the experience here and definitely a place I would love to revisit often. read more

Mariscos Za Za Za - Delicious seafood. Plenty of options. - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had been meaning to try this place and finally was able to make it out last Friday. I had never been, so was unsure about parking. I got there around noon when they opened and some residential streets had street cleaning on Fridays, but I was able to find a parking spot nearby only a few minutes walking distance away. I did see they offered valet for about $15 I think I saw (don't quote me on that though). The entrance is through the back and walked up to a window where I ordered. I opted for the Dine LA deal which 1 Botana fría, 1 botana caliente, LA churros and 1 soft beverage of your choice for only $25! From the options I chose the tostada bonito, una costra por favor, and a Piña Jarritos. I also ordered a margarita to try one of their drinks. That was not included in the Dine LA deal. Once I ordered and paid, they gave me a number and I headed to the back and grabbed a seat. The outside seating is so beautiful and calming. Even though it was a hot summer day, it didn't feel hot because all the trees provided great shade. The service was pretty quick with each course and everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. I definitely will go back. My favorite out of everything I tried was the tostada bonito because it was so refreshing. Such an amazing Dine LA deal. The deal is well worth it because normally on the menu, the Tostada Bonito would be $11, the Una Costra Por Favor $9, the LA Churros $10, and the Piña Jarritos $7. It would've came out to $37, but with the deal it was only $25 (not including tax or tip)! ema read more

I stopped in during a walk along the LA river because I've wanted to try this place for a while and I love ceviche and aguachile. I won't be returning. The shrimp aguachile was tasty enough and the price wasn't terrible. But the price wasn't great either. There were a total of 5 pieces of shrimp but they were butterflied so it was really just 2.5 pieces of shrimp. There was a TON of cucumber on the plate, which was just fine. But what it was really missing was avocado. You can't have aguachile without something fatty to counter the spice and tang. Also the 2 tostadas that came with it were just store bought and tasted like cardboard. How hard is it to fry up a fresh tortilla? The real disappointment? The $19 margarita. It was not very much actual drink in the glass and it just wasn't good. $19 is always outrageous to pay for a small margarita but at that price it should be spectacular or something special. It left me feeling ripped off. Came on a Saturday and it was fairly busy but definitely not swamped. Service was slow. I waited 30 minutes for my aguachile (which as you may know, involves no heating at all). This was possibly due to the fact that I could see only 3 people working there. Also, it's basically all self-service. Get your own water, get your own silverware, wait by the bar for your drink. Might as well just cook for myself too after all that. The patio is large with beautiful plants all around. But all the tables are just sitting in dirt so don't wear nice shoes. I only tried the aguachile and perhaps the other food is excellent. I hope it is for their sake. That margarita though. Smh. Reason enough to never return. read more

This spot is so CUTE! And the food is objectively good, albeit a bit pricey. Upon arriving, it looks kind of hidden away, like in a hidden alleyway. They have both indoor and outdoors seating; we opted for outdoor seating because the weather was amazing and there was enough shade from the sun. My favorite item of the day was 100% the shrimp aguachiles. It was so refreshing and high quality, I could eat 2 plates of it by myself honestly. The baja yellowtail tostada was also good, however the slightly creamy sauce on top made the dish just not as refreshing as the aguachiles. It was still quite delicious and worth trying. Last item we ordered to share I can't remember the name of the dish to save my life - but it was like a fried tortilla rolled up taco. Really tasty as well, would def re-order!! For drinks, I got the strawberry basil lime agua fresca which was super super delicious. I am currently addicted to mocktails and it truly hit the spot. I want to come back!! It's a tad pricey, but you're paying for ambiance and the quality of food is def there. read more

So good! Good atmosphere and good tostada. I like loreto at night also. One of the best restaurant in the neighborhood

The tostilocos and the aguas frescas will never not hit. The beautiful outdoor vibes and music are also a plus.

Loved Loreto so had to come try this spot out too. First off, right when you walk into the outside area, you're greeted by the bartender who will take your order and make your drinks before you sit down. she was amazing & gave us some recommendations. we ordered quite a bit of stuff cause we were hungry lol. The 3 main dishes that stood out was the fries, the aguachile and the shrimp roll (idk what this one was called but wow, add some lemon on top & have the most perfect bite!) easily one of the best aguachile I've had in awhile. the shrimp cheese quesadilla dish was our least favorite - just felt unfinished lol, the chips in the bag I didn't like but my friend did, and the tostada with the capers just needed some lime and it was yummy, without the extra lime tho I wasn't the biggest fan. all outdoor seating which was nice cause it was a beautiful day. would absolutely come back to try some new dishes & get the 3 dishes I LOVED! read more

Apparently this place just opened for two months for dinner only, and opened up for brunch a month ago (or vice versa?). Same owner as Loreta and located right behind it. It's clear that it's newly open given that I came at 11:20AM on a Saturday and was the only party at the restaurant. Valet parking available, but I had no problem finding street parking. They have a pretty small menu but all their options seemed good. They also have some drink options like margaritas, beer, wine if you're in the mood for a boozy brunch. As for the food, I ordered their tostada (popular according to the cashier), el jocho de camaron, and mi gringa Del Mar. All of these were really good and would highly recommend. The tostada was super refreshing and definitely not your typical tostada. The yellowtail was delicious, but I was not the biggest fan of the dry squid skin. My favorite was the Mi Gringa Del Mar. It's a quesadilla with swordfish al pastor, grilled nopales, and oaxaca cheese. The swordfish al pastor was mind-blowing. Such a great twist to the usual pork al pastor I'm used to. I wish this was its own dish so that I could have more of it by itself. El jocho de camarón was also really good. Not the biggest fan of the sauce, but the pieces of shrimp were perfectly cooked. Had a slight kick to it from the Serrano aoli sauce, but nothing too crazy. They have a different menu for dinner, and I'm definitely planning to come back to try their dinner options and the rest of their brunch items. read more

This place has the best setting an ambience but I just can't forgive that they use tilapia in their "Classico" fish taco and charge $9 for it no less. Tilapia has no place in a Baja fish taco. It tastes like a dirty pond. God I miss Ricky's! Why can no one make a fish taco with actual sea fish? Tilapia fish tacos are offensive. I would gladly pay a couple dollar more - for the love of god change the fish taco. read more

This place has amazing ambiance. It's all outdoors, you order at the front window and grab a seat in the patio area. It's just a pretty and lovely place to eat. I had the yellowtail tostada and it was really delicious. I could really eat a few of those. I also got the strawberry basil aqua fresca. And we got the fries as well. Everything was really great, and the service was fantastic. There's lots of shaded seating so even on a hot summer day, it was nice. The only thing about this place is, I do really find it pricey but the quality of the fresh raw fish is great. I guess that's what you're paying for. I came once at noon and they weren't open, so I suggest coming slightly after noon. read more

Been here a few times but on my last visit, they totally forgot to make and serve my order for some reason. I paid and sat in 90+ degree weather for almost 40 minutes with my number on my table until I saw that they were cleaning up all the tables, taking in everything and closing up, and realized that they had just totally forgotten my order. I only got my order after getting up to ask. I find it odd that the servers that were outside standing around never questioned why I still had my order number on my table and was just sitting drinking water all that time. Really liked this place but that was a crappy experience to have. read more

Delicious Mexican seafood served in a nice outdoor space. The menu is on the small side but everything i have tried has been very tasty. Some of my favorites are the yellowtail tostada (could easily eat several by myself!), the swordfish taco and burrito which isn't always on the menu. The frogtown fries is a great dish to share if you are with a group. The place is super close to the LA river and some cool shops so this is a nice pit stop if you want to explore Frog Town or are on a bike ride along the river. read more

All of the dishes are the perfect proportion - not too much, not too little - just right. We tried the strawberry basil agua fresa, tostada de camarones, and chicken taquitos.
