    FIRST TIME TRYING! IT WAS THE PERFECT SPICE! NOW I KNOW WHERE TO GO, I WILL BE BACK FOR SURE!! AMAZING FLAVOR!!

    Camarones A La Diabla! It was my first time trying and it is AMAZING! PERFECT SPICE, PERFECT FLAVOR, I WILL BE BACK FOR SURE!! Customer service was also good. The setting was nice and lots of people coming and going. I am IMPRESSED!

    Beer Margarita was DELICIOUS

    1st time visiting for a birthday celebration & it was an all around great experience. It's kid friendly, they're sup friendly & speedy. Food & Drinks were delicious We'll definitely be going back.

    This picture doesn't do justice to the fried ice cream dessert. A definite must try!

    Come on, Yelp.. can't we give half star increments? I'd love for this to be a 4 1/2 stars!! Hubby and I decided to go out for "Cinco de Mayo" dinner and margaritas. I'm so glad we decided to go across town to Roca Del Mar! I have to say this is officially my favorite Mexican restaurant in the AV. First the basket of fresh, hot tortilla chips. So crispy/crunchy, they tasted like they were just made in fresh oil.. and the salsa is SO flavorful! Plenty of garlic, onions, cumin.. and not so spicy that it's painful to eat. We each had a margarita on the rocks which paired perfectly with the chips and salsa. I'm telling you, I could make a meal of those if not careful! But wait, because we decided to try something new for dinner. We ordered one of their specialties of the house: Parrillada de Mariscos for 2. If I recall the description, it's 8 types of seafood on a bed of white rice. Oh my.. it was one of the best new things we've tried in a long time! Butterflied well-grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, a spicy shrimp in a tasty sauce, crispy bacon-wrapped shrimp, octopus, fish fillets.. grilled onions, roasted whole jalapeños, even the rice was flavorful! I don't think we had a single bite that didn't make us both smile and dance in our seats. Yes, it was THAT good! There's another Yelp review which includes a photo of the huge platter that comes to the table and he complains that it's not steaming. THIS ISN'T A PLATTER OF SIZZLING FAJITAS! It isn't supposed to be billowing steam upon arrival. That would kill all of the delightfully crispy bites. The candles below are enough to keep the food warm without overcooking anything. It drives me crazy when people bash a dish without being informed. We couldn't finish our platter. The portions of everything were so generous, we really could have shared it among 3 people, possibly a fourth if we weren't being gluttons. Leftovers were packaged up to go (they included a bag of those amazing chips and a cup of the salsa!) We did want a little something sweet to finish our meal, so Mark (one of the many family members who waited on us throughout the night) suggested the fried ice cream. I've had this elsewhere, but this was SO different! The huge ball of vanilla ice cream was covered in a delicious, crispy/chewy coating with caramel, cinnamon and chocolate. The giant coated scoop was presented in a tortilla bowl prepped like the best bunuelo I've ever tasted. It was large enough to share and totally "butt-worthy". From the time we walked in and were greeted and seated by one owner (Dad), another server (Mom), their son Mark and the other owner creating the magic in the kitchen, we couldn't have been treated better. Our water and margarita glasses never went empty without offer of a refill, they kept checking to make sure everything was to our liking.. and Mark even brought us a glass of horchata "just in case the camarones diablo were too spicy". The owner told us they typically have many off-menu special items each day that we can ask about if interested.. what a treat! We are really looking forward to our next visit. We drive past a lot of other Mexican restaurants to get there, but it's worth the drive.

    What a great surprise! A small hole in the wall restaurant very outdated but the service and food is very delicious! We were very hesitant upon arrival giving the outdated vibe but to our surprise everything was very fresh , great flavor and overall a great experience. Our server was always checking in and making sure we had everything we needed at all times...

    First time trying this place out. The food was very good. Although, a bit salty but good overall. The micheladas were good as well. Definitely will come back to try other dishes.

    Service is amazing and very welcoming :) i got the chicken fajitas with rice and beans. my first plate of beans came with a hair but they gladly changed my plate. My brother had ordered the shrimp wrapped in bacon and his bacon was still raw. overall a great restaurant, need to work on their food.

    We tried Pescadería Big Fish in East Lancaster for the first time, and all I can say is... wow!…read moreThis place is a hidden gem. We're originally from the San Fernando Valley, where there are a lot of seafood markets like this, so walking in brought back a lot of nostalgia. I had no idea this place even existed until someone recommended it, and I'm so glad they did. My best friend was visiting for the weekend, so it was the perfect opportunity to check it out. As soon as you walk in, you'll see fresh seafood displayed on ice that they fry to order. We ordered a whole tilapia, a whole snapper, fried baby squid, a small container of ceviche to try, and tortilla chips. Everything was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. The ceviche was excellent, and the fried fish was perfectly cooked with amazing flavor. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were pretty busy, and there was a line when we arrived, so expect a bit of a wait. But once you taste the food, you'll understand why this place stays busy. It was well worth the wait. We took our food home, and it was still amazing. This is definitely going to become our go-to spot for fried fish. We'll absolutely be back again and again. 10/10 highly recommend!

    Comí aquí dos veces antes de tener esta horrible experiencia. El lugar no es precisamente el más…read morelimpio, el más ordenado ni el de mejor aspecto, pero es un bufé económico y la comida es de calidad promedio para ser un bufé. Mi última experiencia fue algo totalmente distinto. Llegué con mi familia y tuvimos que esperar unos 30 minutos para pagar; nos hicieron sentarnos en una zona de espera donde había una alfombra empapada (no sé por qué). Mientras esperábamos, pasó un hombre sin hogar, se saltó la fila sin pagar y nadie lo detuvo. Se dirigió hacia la parte trasera del restaurante y, desafortunadamente para mí y mi familia, ahí era precisamente donde nos habían sentado. El hombre empezó a tomar los platos limpios y a apilarlos, y nadie decía nada. Tuve que avisar a una empleada, quien le indicó que no podía hacer eso; él se detuvo, tomó un plato y comenzó a llenarlo de verduras y carne para que se lo cocinaran. Yo estaba esperando detrás de él, y él seguía tomando comida para un tercer plato, hasta que la empleada volvió a decirle que no podía hacerlo; finalmente, se quedó con uno de los tres platos, mientras que los otros dos fueron a parar a la basura, arrojados allí por los empleados. Tomé un plato --haciendo un gran esfuerzo por seguir dispuesto a comer allí--, pero mientras este hombre esperaba su comida, se puso a deambular por la zona y comenzó a tocar las cucharas y los tenedores sin motivo alguno. Una vez más, la empleada le pidió que dejara de hacerlo. Cuando los pedidos estuvieron listos, él tomó mi plato por error; eso fue la gota que colmó el vaso para mí, así que decidí abandonar el lugar. Ahora me pregunto: ¿por qué tenemos que presenciar todo esto? ¿Y acaso nadie habría hecho nada al respecto si yo no hubiera dicho nada?
