I visited Señor Fish and had the shrimp quesadillas and shrimp tacos. The food was excellent--the shrimp tasted fresh and flavorful. The interior was nice, and the service was friendly. Overall, a great experience read more

The service was terrible. My mom and I had ordered nachos and the cashier had known us since we are usual customers, so he charged us for the small plate of nachos and gave us the large portion. I think he was trying to be nice? We explained that there was no need, we can pay full for the large nachos. Reluctantly, we saw how nice the cashier was by his own means, we paid for what he charged us with and waited for our food. While we were eating someone from the back of the kitchen comes to our table and scrapes half of the nachos to another plate with a fork and makes a comment that the cashier didn't charge us for the right portion. It was so embarrassing!! We were happy to pay for the meal correctly and we explained that the cashier did that on his own and we told him no it's ok that we can pay for the rest, but he insisted. This was the worst embarrassing experience I've encountered in this location. The cashier apologized profusely but what of it? Just don't do that to customers, this was not our doing at all. read more

Great little spot in South Pasadena. They share a parking lot with a salon and laundromat, but there's free street parking around the corner up the residential streets. I got a grilled fish plate that comes with rice, beans, and salad. The fish is freshly grilled so allow time for that. Good amount of food for the price. They're not cheap but I would go again for the quality and convenience. There's seating and bathrooms inside. read more

Señor Fish - Grilled fish - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Our party of 3 all ordered the fish taco plate that comes with two fish tacos, rice, beans and salad. Perhaps it was an off day for them but I felt like the fish tacos were not freshly fried nor did it come out piping out like most do after being just battered and fried. The rice was parboiled so it tasted hard. The beans appeared like they were just out of a can and then salted. The salad had a salsa that on it that was a bit too spicy for me. Since we don't like to waste food, we all just ate the tacos as they were still edible. As for the rest, we took them home. I reheated the whole thing on stovetop until the rice and beans softened, then cracked a couple of eggs on top and WOW, brand new dish and enough for two meals! Like I said, maybe it was an off day, but at least the leftovers made up for it. read more

Señor Fish - Ensenada Fish Taco Special - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Not sure if I would recommend this place due to the al pastor and asada tacos lacked flavor for my taste! The service was good! I also feel that it is time for some interior updates to make the environment more welcoming! read more

I grew up with one of these a few miles away, it was rare for me to be able to eat it, since I didn't have a car. My high school friends always looked forward to the burritos here saying it's so bomb. I always think of the past whenever I eat here. Carne Asada Burrito (4/5) This is a standard setting burrito, it is what I think authentic burritos should taste like. The meat is salty, the meat tastes of roasted chili peppers that is still doing it's capsaicin thing, and there are hints that raw onions were used, maybe cilantro, some lime, beans. I know it's subjective since burritos is wildly common in LA. Let's say Sonora Town is a 5 and Del Taco is a 3, this would be a solid 4. Complimentary salsas: Tomato (2/5) El Pollo loco makes it better, I do recommend the Tito's Tacos salsa that's a solid 5, long line though. Black (4/5) I enjoyed the dark roasted pepper taste. I think it's Chipotle peppers? Green (5/5) I'm actually a fan of the sourness and spiciness of this salsa, it's very sharp, like lemon and lime sharp. This place is pretty big and you can always find about 10/20 people here around lunch time, it's worth stopping by if you magically found parking in DTLA and also are nearby. read more

This place is usually pretty ok but for some reason they gave me some old guacamole with cold, stale chips. Usually the chips are cold and stale, but now the guac was brown and gross looking. Come on now, that's a Chipotle level mistake. Who thought this was ok to give to customers? read more

A fellow Yelp Elite had great things to say about the fish tacos! Taco Tuesday! I ordered the Fish Tacos x 2 and the Asada Tacos. Fish Tacos $4.50 each Asada $5.00 each Parking was a little tricky but someone was leaving right in front of the restaurant and I was able to pull in. They have a large menu and also the taco special. I didn't feel like eating rice and beans so I opted not to get the Taco Special. The tacos were pretty good. I enjoyed my fish tacos with the sour cream and Pico de Gallo. I was able to split the fish in half and use the second taco tortilla to create another one. I paired the tacos with the spicy sauce. Not a bad Taco Spot. read more

Señor Fish - The outside - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Received another dish with literally no seasoning at all. Not even salt. Fries were all undercooked and soggy, shrimp had ZERO seasoning, and the sauce it comes with was also missing. Please ensure quality control between your cooks. Whoever was cooking on 9/10/25 at 5/6 PM should be the standard. read more

I came in tonight at 8:30, there was some fat Mexican dude (worker) with red hair had all the chairs flipped upside down on the tables and said they were "closed". If the hours say you are open until 9pm then stay open until 9. I'm sure he was paid until 9pm but turned down business and costed the company money and a customer. You're better off going to Pepes Finest Food down on Valley Blvd like 10mins away!! read more

Señor Fish - Salmon plate - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

After gym meal, stumbled across this place. Ambiance was nice, people were gathered around the tv watching the presidential debate. Ordered my food to go, and the wait time was pretty normal. I ordered the salmon burger which came with fries and 3 sauces. Not sure what the sauces were but they were decent. Overall, this place wasn't bad; their breakfast looks good. Maybe i'll stop by again to try it. read more

Good price. Big portion. Great taste. This place is a gem in a hidden city. From outside looks ugly, but inside, it has a great view of Trader Joe's. You should try the garlic butter scallop. Mmm.... restaurant quality at a fast food price. Most dishes comes with salad, and generous sauces. The server was friendly. If you have eaten here, then you can consider yourself as a local South Pasadena. read more

Nice to have a reasonably priced, tasty, healthy option in the area. The ambience has room for improvement...sad vibe, worn furniture, scuffed walls, and barebones decor. Evening hours are pretty empty. Service is satisfactory...a bit disinterested and not necessarily friendly, but responsive. Seems like a spot with such potential with a few tweaks. read more

Consistently good Mexican tacos at fair prices. Highly recommend. Everything is delish as I've been here at least 6x. read more

Señor Fish - a meal in a styrofoam container - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Senor Fish just happens to be located on a route that I frequently run with my local running group, the Pasadena Pacers (Hi, Pacer friends!). I'm familiar with their other locations in Eagle Rock and Downtown LA, and have only ever had positive experiences at each of their locations. This spot has an extensive array of dishes to choose from, including Mexican staples such as burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and more! For breakfast, my go-to dish is their chilaquiles, which I order with the addition of "well-done/crispy" carnitas. Servings are very generous, and include a side of beans and breakfast potatoes, and everything is perfectly topped off with the addition of salsa and crema. Their breakfast burritos and fish/shrimp/scallop burritos are also favorites! As a creature of habit, I don't often stray from these selections, but I am curious to try their nachos and loaded fries sometime soon! They've also got great agua fresca drinks, with rotating flavors. The strawberry one is my favorite but they only seem to have it every 3-4 times I visit, which isn't often enough if you ask me! This location shares a parking lot with a laundromat, and is located conveniently across the street from a pretty busy Trader Joe's. Street parking can be found on Grand Ave. Service here is quick and friendly, and there is ample space both inside and in their outdoor dining area for groups. So overall: -The good: Great Mexican staples and a wide variety of selections at reasonable prices! Service is quick and friendly, and they accommodate variations and special requests for your orders. This location is not as busy as their Eagle Rock and DTLA locations, but the food is of similar quality. -The bad: The parking lot is small, but parking is relatively easy to find on Grand Ave. -The ugly: A group of friends from my running group had planned to eat here after a morning run in March. Despite it being regular business hours, they were not open and did not answer the phone. This was the only negative experience I've ever had here, but we were definitely disappointed at the time. read more

Very good mexican food. Everything is very fresh and delicious. Servers are very nice.

I've been coming here a few years now. They do some things well. The potato tacos are perfect. The tacos in general are good and the salsas are very good. But now they've removed the booths. The booths were the ONLY good thing about the restaurant itself. It always has seemed like they put as little effort as possible into making the restaurant a nice place to eat, but now they have made it much worse. Will not be eating here anymore. It is a stark echo chamber. read more

I love señor fish, came here a lot during the pandemic. They need some decorations though, the eagle rock spot is such a vibe but this place is so ugly and empty and echoey because there is nothing inside. read more

A co worker of mine mentioned fish tacos, and then the craving set in. We yelped a spot near by and senor fish popped up. It had been years since I've eaten at one but from what I remembered it was very popular. They were known for their fish tacos and seasoned fries. So what do I order? 6 Fish tacos and a large side of fries. Unfortunately the food was not the best. Not the worst but not the best either. Everything seemed to lack flavor. I even got three different salsas and you know what, I opted for good old tapatio instead. The fries had some seasoning but majority of it was unseasoned and cooked to an oily crisp. Sad to say craving unsatisfied. read more

Señor Fish - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I absolutely love this place. I come here with my friends whenever we're going on a trip or on the weekends whenever. The Taco combo special is amazing. It's a great deal. I always get the two fish tacos and all rice. No beans. I just personally don't like beans. Hate me for it. Whatever. Or maybe I just like rice a lot. The fish are fried and they're very crispy on the outside and very tender and soft On the inside. they add a lot of vegetables salsa and sour cream on the taco. It's absolutely amazing. There's a lot of seating here, I just realized they added more seating outdoors which is always good. The salsas are amazing too. I bet they're homemade. I just realized that they have a breakfast menu and I have to. I have to come back and try the huevos rancheros. The service is always great. They're always kind. It's a little gem in South Pasadena. read more

My favorite local spot for chilaquiles. Gotta have it with verde salsa and black beans. Always friendly and fast service. Conveniently located across the street from Trader Joe's. I do a quick TJ run while I wait for my order if I'm doing take out. Generous and delicious serving sizes. I can never finish a whole plate on my own. My fiance and I usually ordered to dishes to split. Truthfully, he eats his food and helps me finish my plate lol. Outdoor dining is now open. Indoor seating is not yet available. read more

When my son was a wee lad we used to go to The Señor Fish on Sunset Blvd in Echo Park on Fridays. They had our favorite nacho plate. They've since closed, but fortunately there's a Señor Fish in our new neighborhood and it's just as good! My son loved their enchilada plate, my husband is always satisfied with a couple of asada tacos and I love their tortilla soup, it's my go to when it rains or if I'm sick and craving comfort food. The folks behind the counter are kind and friendky and the restaurant has a nice vibe. It's family styke with a few nice pieces of art. read more

Have always wanted to try this place out since seeing one in little Tokyo but after they closed down and my wife's aversion to seafood, it's always been one of those hard maybe places. Took that chance yesterday after walking by and ordered a two tacos (asada and pastor) special and a side of fries. Fries were good and the tacos were absolutely fantastic, well seasoned, the caramelized char added an extra depth of flavor, and the tortillas were great. It was a fantastic meal with fantastic service, I was absolutely elated. Great taco place down the street? Who wouldn't be? Enjoyed it so much that I hyped about it to my wife, said it was better than a lot of other fast casual places. Told her it wasn't strictly seafood, so she was convinced, so much so that we tried stopped by today. She ordered the two taco special with rice and salad and I got a burrito. Again, the service was pretty good, very friendly waitress. Took a bite of my burrito and it has a small layer of meat. No big deal, burritos tend to start kinda slow. My wife took a bite of one of her tacos and she looked less than impressed, she didn't speak but I knew something was wrong. As I worked more and more into my burrito, I realized why she wasn't impressed. The meat was just reheated, it had lost flavor from yesterday and was replaced with meat that tasted worse than Del Taco meat. It was devastating. The burrito never reached that point where it just gets meaty, it was just a lot of rice and beans and a thin layer of reheated carne asada. She didn't even finish her second taco. read more

Great salmon burritos among other items and solid value for the portion sizes. Just don't expect over the top ambiance, it's rather sparse inside, and has a strong fan base of regulars that do takeout from here. read more

their forte is their seafood! anything seafood on their menu is so good. their portion is generous and flavorful. but the extra (spicy) salsa doesn't hurt. i wasn't too impressed with their non-seafood items (as i already have my leguna go-to spot) but THIS would be my battered fish burrito place from now! read more

Senior fish Rocks ! Been to several of their locations and have only good things to say in regards to the food and service . South Pasadena is unique in that they feature Huevos Benedictos which if I had to describe it , is kinda like Chilaquiles x eggs Benedict . Twice a week I have dinner with my workout group and Senor Fish So Pas is highly requested because of this . With that said I still love all the other items esp the carnitas tacos . S/o to the staff for always letting us hang out ! read more

I've been passing by this restaurant for years and finally I decided on eating something for dinner. The interior is a bit boring in decor but it's very spacious. I ordered a fried fish burrito with all the fixings and requested the hottest chili all for around 11 bucks. It's a bit pricy but the burrito is really big and the ingredients tasting very fresh. The salsas needed a bit more spice of chili added to give the meal a more potent flavor but over all a good burrito. read more

Señor Fish - Dinner time 2022 - Mexican Near Me - South Pasadena, California

We stopped by for lunch after my daughter's softball game on the recommendation of a friend. There is one small table for two outside in the parking lot; all other seating is indoors. They were out of quite a few kinds of fish, which was a bummer. We placed our order and took a seat. 5 minutes later, the staff came to our table and informed us that the fish we ordered was also out of stock. We subbed a third choice fish and waited for our meals. The food was fine. Not great, not terrible. Just fine. The portions were stingy for a place that charges what they do and serves food on paper plates. I paid $16 for a small piece of salmon that was about the size of my palm. (I am short and have small hands.) Protein portions for all of our meals was light. Most of the plate was taken up by mediocre beans and not quite warm rice. The salsa was also fine. The burritos were thick, but unfortunately most of that was taken up by cheap filler like rice and beans instead of protein. Cheese was conspicuously absent, and it was missed. The salsa portion was also stingy. The fish tacos, which initially drew us in, was a disappointment. The fish was - at best - low end grocery store quality. This is not high end stuff, folks. The carne asada meat was also okay. Unfortunately, it was not at all seasoned and was just bland. In all, we paid more than $60 for four entrees for four people. Balancing value and quality, I did not think it was worthwhile. And you're definitely not paying for ambiance or maintenance here. The tables were not terribly clean. The floor was visibly dirty. Bathrooms were not well stocked and had not been taken care of. It was okay this one time, but I wouldn't return. There are SO many better spots in LA for fish tacos. read more

Delicious food, you will not be disappointed by any of their tacos, especially the potato and battered fish tacos. Very good hidden gem.

Fish tacos were OK but do yourself a favor and skip the shrimp tacos. The shrimp were unseasoned and all in all lacked overall flavor. I didn't even finish the 2 tacos because there was just no flavor. We ended up getting tacos somewhere else. read more

I frequent the Senor Fish in Eagle Rock and this is the first time I've come in to the one in South Pasadena. The service was outstanding and so was my shrimp burrito. Parking was easy. I'll be coming in more often considering I live in South Pasadena. The food was ready within 10 minutes. I was shocked. I usually wait a lot longer in the Eagle Rock location. Considering how close I am to this Senor Fish, I'll be coming here for my shrimp burritos and fish tacos instead. Thank you Senor Fish! read more
