Great experience at Santo Fish Restaurant! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered tasted delicious, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. The portions were good, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for fresh Mexican-style seafood. I'll be coming back and would highly recommend Santo Fish to anyone in the area! read more

Food: was awesome when I came the first time. Continues to get better the more we try more from their menu. Zeta tacos to die for. These are vegan, but so worth your tastebuds. Service: always on time. Courteous. At your beckon call for their customers needs. Ambiance: nice, fresh very clean. Good music, not load. read more

If you're looking for a good seafood spot, Santos is definitely worth checking out. They have a pretty big selection, a great bar, and variety of seafood. Starting off with the oysters and scallops. Both were a little underwhelming for me and pretty salty, almost like biting into the ocean itself. The oysters came with Tapatío and salt, and the scallops was pretty standard for what you'd expect. Both were around $16-18 if I remember correctly. The main dishes were way better. The Caguamero Shrimp was really good and had a lot of flavor. We also got the Zarandeado del Nayar, which is the big whole fish you've probably seen on social media . Crispy, charred, and served with all the sides and toppings. It's market price, but this was definitely the Shamu of the restaurant and a customer favorite. Overall, the dining room is cozy, the service was friendly, and the main dishes really carried the meal. Santos definitely earned its spot. read more

Best Mexican seafood!! For drinks, we ordered a few cocktails and agua frescas. Both were great! Since it's a seafood restaurant, we ordered the ocean ceviche, lobster and steak, governor tacos, and the signature zarandeado santo fish. Everything was delicious! The ceviche was bright and the proteins were cooked well. The santo fish was huge and we ended up making fish tacos since it comes with tortillas. A great entree to share! A mariscos restaurant hidden gem! read more

I do not recommend this restaurant. Two stars for good customer service. When we came in, we were greeted quite quickly, and brought to our table. Inside was very clean. It is very spacious and well spaced. Separation of regular diners and bar drinking is nice, to keep a family friendly environment separate from the potentially more rowdy crowd. We asked what was highly recommended, and of course, it was what we came for, as others do too for their first and most likely, only visit there. I do not recommend this restaurant. We ordered their special of the day, which was a ceviche. It was made with raw shrimp, not cooked in any way, like straight from the freezer, thawed, chopped, and put into a bowl with the other fresh diced stuff. Usually, the marinating time the shrimp sits in the ceviche "cooks" it, not this one, gray shrimp. We read a review that said the octopus was life-changing, and we love a well-cooked octopus. If the octopus was just cooked, or just heated, or just slightly on the grill for a second, it would have been super delicious and life-changing, however, it was finished-cooked so poorly. My guess is that someone thinks that grill marks make it good, wrong, they burnt it. The flavor is burnt! It becomes bitter and burnt! Well, guess what, we ordered the fish.... And guess what.. it is the same!!! BURNT! Not grilled, BURNT, ON PURPOSE!?! If you want good Zarandeado, I recommend you go try Mariscos Martin in La Puente or Baldwin Park. Like I said, skip it, I do not recommend it. And, it was not cheap neither. It looked so upscale, so awesome, smelled good, then just burnt! Don't believe all the hype. This is definitely a hype restaurant, or somewhere to get drunk and not be able to comprehend what you are digesting. read more

Just a heads up that parking can be difficult. The restaurant looks nice but as soon as we sat down it was very very warm. I asked about the air conditioning and they just said that it was on. I like a nice cool place to eat especially on a hot day in this just did not cut it. They started us with three very tasty sauces that they make and some chips. I asked for three large glasses of ice water and they brought three small old fashioned glasses. I asked for larger glasses and they said they did not have any however I saw large beer mugs that they could have used. Soon as I drink my small glass of water I asked for another and they bought a carafe of water which was warm. It immediately melted blood little ice I had in my glass so fast for more ice. They brought a little bit of ice a small vase. Between a hot restaurant and not having extended supply of ice water I was already a bit peeved. The tables are packed a little bit on the tight side and we set in a boat along the wall and kept getting bumped by people walking by. Well they did get one of her orders wrong we asked for an order that had fish fillets and they gave us a fried Mojarra.We also got the steak and lobster and a large bowl of the mix seafood soup. The steak was really good, the lobster a little on the chewy side for my taste but still okay. And the soup was really flavorful and delicious. We kept the fried fish instead of waiting for another order and it was good, nothing spectacular but good. Rice and beans came with the fried fish and beans came with one of the other orders it was a very small quarter of rice and the beans came in an extremely small little cup that held about two shot glasses worth of beans! Beans and rice are so cheap, and when I see an order that includes beans and rice that is what I expect not a shot glass worth of beans and rice! That's just ridiculous. We also got A Slice of Cheesecake for $15. They are cheap with the cheesecake also the normal slice you get in restaurants is almost twice that size they just slice it a lot thinner. Even though the food was pretty good I don't think I will be back between the parking, the lack of air conditioning and some of the other things I mentioned there are more comfortable places and better value. read more

This place is AMAZING!! The food is DELICIOUS, perfectly prepared, and did I mention delicious?? My wife and I ordered tuna tacos, a cauliflower taco, and shrimp in red sauce and garlic. Wow! The tuna tacos were flavorful, a surprise in each bite, and very colorful The vibe here is relaxed and fun, with plenty of room to bring family and friends The ONLY minor negative was how loud the GREAT Spanish music was playing over the restaurant's overhead speakers. It was loud! Other than that issue, everything else was AMAZING, including the GREAT service offered by our waiter. Our waiter, Fernando was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Thank you for the tip-notch service. This was a very positive dining experience. read more

Noely gave us a great service!!!! I ordered the pescado zarandeado and it was absolutely delicious. I also had a Vampiro, and it was excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth coming back for. The only thing I noticed was that during the less than two hours I was there, about five different flower vendors came inside trying to sell flowers. I've only experienced that in dive bars, not at a restaurant of this caliber. It would make the dining experience even better if that could be limited. Overall, the food and drinks were outstanding, and I highly recommend Santo Fish. read more

I had the best time at this restaurant! Some of the best Mexican seafood I've ever eaten in a very long time. I also had a really refreshing cocktail. You have to try they have special seasonal cocktails. This one had mint and refreshing coconut. It taste like you're on vacation! Now the food!! Even the chips and salsa was fantastic. You can tell that they hand make everything fresh! I hope I'm pronouncing my server's name, right Flour, she was so helpful and gave me great food recommendations! As far as the ambience, whether you're having a girls night, a family gathering or just eating by yourself their dining space has enough for everybody! It makes you feel like you're at some fancy restaurant in Mexico! I definitely recommend this place and will be back again! read more

Excellent mariscos and exceptional service. Came here on a recent weekend to dine with a friend and while the restaurant was busy, there was plenty of seating available and we were accommodated quickly. We ordered a variety of dishes from ceviche to aguachiles to sashimi and also had some tasty oyster shots. Everything was fresh and flavorful and I plan to return very soon. Parking is easy as the restaurant is located inside a medium size commercial lot with other businesses and another mariscos restaurant. There's street parking available too. read more

Santo Fish Restaurant - 3LB Zarandeado del nayar - Seafood Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

A seafood place in Pico Rivera! This place popped up on my social media platform and had me convinced, and so we came. The restaurant itself was nice, spacious, and nicely decorated. We were greeted with smiles and good service. For food, we had ceviche oceana (some spice), guacamole and chips, chapulines Del Mar, tacos gobernador, and 2 orders of zarandeado santo fish at MP which came out to $47 for one. I was really excited about this fish because this is what the foodie influencer was chowing down on. Although there was some kind of seasoning or sauce, the fish was bland. No matter what I put on it, lime, salsa, beans, rice, anything, just bland. I'm glad we tried this place but we won't be returning. I think I expected high quality, something we'd get from ports o'call but I had to remember we were in Pico Rivera. Large parking lot, good service, just okay Zarandeado for me. read more

I originally saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it out with some friends. They have a separate bar area that's decorated really cute and has a different aesthetic from the main restaurant. The servers were very attentive and gave great recommendations. My friends ordered drinks (can't remember the exact names), but they had dragon fruit and watermelon flavors, super yummy. They were a little on the sweet side, so if that's your thing, you'll love them. For food, we ordered the shrimp aguachile and the sauce was delicious, we even asked for some on the side. One of our friends ordered the al mojo de ajo and said it was yummy as well. The star of the show, though, was the fish, cooked to perfection and so flavorful. Definitely will be returning! read more

Santo Fish Restaurant - Delicious food - Seafood Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

Impressed is an understatement. This is my new favorite mariscos restaurant. A MUST get is the zarandeado del nayar. Flaky sea bass is perfectly marinated and grilled (be aware it is BONE IN) and served with the FLUFFIEST, softest corn tortillas ever. Just scooping up the fish in the tortilla and a touch of lime was perfection. It's market price, which was $49 for 2 lb for today. I loved the langoustine sauce, dipping the fish tacos in that was next level. The tacos costeños were delicious, had a nice chipotle crema on there. The black tide ceviche is so unique and delicious. Mango and apple give it this nice sweet crunch, which contrasts so nicely with the limey, slightly smoky, spicy sauce. So unique with the most beautifully brunoise cut apples and mango. This place is a drive but you will surely find me back here. They were not busy when they opened, but as I was dining, the place filled up. So I suggest you go at opening if possible. The restaurant is very cute and vibey inside as well. Nice and clean. It's a 10 for me! read more

So in a bit of a celebration a buddy and I wanted to try someplace new. I give credit to IG as I believe that is where I saw this place first. Now please forgive me, as these dishes are new to me and I wasn't sure what to order. Although overall I enjoyed everything I had. The drink was good too. I think one of the highlights was the service. The staff was very attentive and helpful answering questions. Although the ambiance was a bit loud inside, it was still comfortable. Just a little hard hearing the conversation. I would definitely try it again, and see what else is on the menu. read more

Found this place on IG and decided to come for dinner on a Saturday night. There was no wait at the restaurant so my bf and I were seated immediately. The waitress gave us a menu and it was the Spanish menu which was fine because I already look beforehand on yelp on what to order. We were given some chips and salsa to eat before the food comes. We ordered the: Mixed from the sea Ceviche- 4/5, the seafood was fresh and flavorful. It was my first time eating Ceviche and I enjoyed. Zarandeado Del Nayar- This is what we came for from a video on IG. The fish was enough to feed 2-3 people. It was smoky but was very flavorful. Overall it was a good meal and we enjoyed it. The fish however was a bit pricey. read more

In the mood for seafood and been wanting to come back to try other dishes. The green salsa is spicier than the red salsa, both are delicious. I ordered the shrimp in house sauce, loved it except for the salad, it was delicious, but did not seem to combined well with the other items on the dish, a side of beans and tortillas would make this dish 100% better! The ceviche was delicious. Thanks Gabby for providing good customer service. read more

This place is fantastic! It has a modern, spacious vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a high-end Mexican resort. The atmosphere is lively, with upbeat Mexicano hip-hop that makes you want to dance in your seat. Service? Absolutely top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and great at recommending dishes that truly bring your taste buds to life. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa (a great touch), then ordered the Marea Negra ceviche -- and wow. The mix of diced mango, habanero chiles, and shrimp was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Pro tip: Add a little mayo -- it takes it to the next level! The marlin tacos with Monterey cheese were incredible -- smoky, cheesy, and deeply satisfying. We also tried the langostino -- a bit overcooked, but the rich, flavorful broth it came in was amazing. Paired with rice and their handmade tortillas, it still hit all the right notes. Definitely coming back to try their signature white fish dish -- Pescado Zarandeado -- next time! read more

Great food, drinks, and service! Me and my family enjoyed all the food definitely coming back again. 10/10

From appetizer to main dish, everything was exceptional! For appetizers we started with the complimentary chips and salsa, followed by the chapulines (shrimp ) and the guacamole with shrimp and octopus - both fresh and full of flavor. For our main dishes, we ordered the Zarandeado fish in two different marinade styles and the traditional fried tilapia. Both were outstanding and came with a delicious side of their homemade Asian-style salad and a side of rice. The mojitos were on point. To those leaving bad reviews saying the zarandeado fish is burned on the skin - you have clearly never had an authentic zarandeado fish before. That char on the skin is exactly how it is supposed to be. Great customer service from Noeli! Keep up the great customer service and food. I highly recommend this place. Desde la entrada hasta el plato principal, ¡todo fue excepcional! Como aperitivo, comenzamos con los totopos y salsa de cortesía, seguidos de los chapulines de camarón y el guacamole con camarón y pulpo, ambos frescos y llenos de sabor. Como platos principales, ordenamos el pescado zarandeado en dos estilos diferentes de marinado y la tradicional tilapia frita. Ambos platos fueron sobresalientes y estuvieron acompañados de su deliciosa ensalada casera al estilo asiático y una porción de arroz. Los mojitos estuvieron perfectos. Para aquellas personas que en sus reseñas negativas mencionan que el pescado zarandeado viene quemado de la piel, es evidente que nunca han probado un pescado zarandeado auténtico. Esa textura tostada en la piel es precisamente como debe ser preparado. ¡La atención al cliente por parte de Noeli fue excelente! Que sigan manteniendo ese gran servicio y esa calidad en la comida. Recomiendo ampliamente este lugar. read more

My husband had been wanting to try the pescado zarandeado for a while because of all the social media hype, so we were excited to finally come in. The atmosphere was great, and the service was just as good--everyone was attentive and welcoming. We started with the oyster shooters, which were flavorful . For our main dishes, my husband ordered the pescado zarandeado, and I ordered camarones a la diabla (not officially on the menu, but they were kind enough to offer, their menu offers a habanero shrimp ). Everything honestly tasted amazing, we were really impressed with the flavors and overall experience while dining. However... shortly after, we both ended up getting violently sick. We believe it may have been from the oysters . I personally spent two days with severe vomiting and an upset stomach, and it took about three days to fully recover. This is just a heads-up to the restaurant to double-check oyster sourcing and temperature handling to ensure safety. It's unfortunate because the food and service were genuinely great, but the experience afterward was really rough. read more

Absolutely delicious! If you're craving unforgettable mariscos, this spot is a must visit. The pescado zarandeado was perfectly grilled, smoky, and seasoned to perfection. The portion was generous enough to share between two people, she I'm glad the waitress let us know of this beforehand because we almost ordered two orders for two people. The shrimp ceviche in black sauce was also amazing. It had a perfect balance of the tangy with the savory black sauce & was incredibly unique and refreshing. read more

This was my first time visiting after seeing the restaurant on Instagram, and I decided to give it a try. After we were seated, we weren't acknowledged for about 10 minutes. A table that was seated after us received service before we did, so we eventually had to wave someone down to ask for a server. Noely came over and explained that she wasn't actually our server, but since our assigned server was busy, she would take care of us. We later learned her name from the receipt since she never introduced herself. We ordered the Ceviche Oceana and the Zarandeado. The menu offers two different Zarandeado options, but we were never asked which one we wanted. By the time I realized it, the food had already been served. For the ceviche, I specifically requested that the raw shrimp be substituted with cooked shrimp. The ceviche normally comes with raw shrimp, octopus, and fish, but I asked for cooked shrimp instead. Unfortunately, it arrived with the raw shrimp anyway. We had to flag someone down again, and they corrected the mistake. Shortly afterward, the fish arrived. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside. It has a clean, tropical vacation vibe that makes for a great atmosphere. It was a little loud because the Mexico game was on, but that's completely understandable and didn't bother us. Overall, I would come back because the food was genuinely delicious. I'm giving it 3 stars because the service needs improvement. Our assigned server never came back to check on us, Noelle did her best to help despite not originally being responsible for our table, but there were still a couple of mistakes with our order. The food, however, was excellent, and that's what would bring me back. read more

I do not recommend this place at all. The food is of poor quality, and the service was terrible. I tried to speak with someone--and they supposedly contacted the owner--but he is an ill-mannered individual. I voiced my complaint to him, specifically regarding a fish dish that cost 70; I mentioned the rice and beans, and he replied that you only get 4 ounces of each and that they are merely a courtesy from the restaurant. We will never return. You would just be throwing your money away. I do not recommend it whatsoever. read more

Thank you for helping make my son's graduation celebration such a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautiful atmosphere, spotless facility, and welcoming environment.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the quality exceeded our expectations. One of the things we appreciated most was how clean and well-maintained everything was, along with the ample parking and overall high-quality experience. Choosing your restaurant for this special occasion was one of the best decisions I made. Thank you for your outstanding service and hospitality. I would not hesitate to book future events with you and highly recommend your restaurant to others looking for a beautiful venue, great food, and exceptional customer service. read more

First time at Santos Fish restaurant. We read reviews and heard the service was not so great. I gotta say our server Fernando was very attentive. The Zarandeado fish was excellent. It's a very large portion to feed at least 4 people. We didn't get to try any other dishes or desserts we were too full, but the leftovers were just as good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. They have this carrot salsa which was really good. Never tried anything like it. Chips and salsa were fresh. Atmosphere was chill.

Santo Fish has been a pleasant surprise, it is located in a small parking lot with various businesses but definitely stands out once you give it a try. The interior is welcoming and clean. Let's talk about what really matters, the food and service. It's a toss up if the food is good then Gabby is great! Her awareness and demeanor made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our meal knowing that we were well taken care of(drinks never going dry, ensuring our needs were met as well as making sure the food was to our liking). The fish was cooked perfectly and the rice is a strong reminder of how it was made at a staple restaurant from my childhood. I've had several menu items here without enough time to take a photo. I recommend coming in hungry so you can leave happier than when you arrived. Santo Fish is a great place if you like quality food and even better service. Highly recommend read more
