    1 pound shrimp with sweet potato fries
    Ariana T.

    I decided to give this place another try and ordered a pound of shrimp with Boss Sauce (spicy), which comes with corn and sausage--a definite plus. I added potatoes, and also got sweet potato fries and wings. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The sauce was perfectly spicy and extra garlicky, the sweet potato fries were delicious, the wings were huge and super crispy, and the service was great and fast. I'm definitely coming back!

    3 pound of shrimp with little sauce
    Desiree V.

    Don't come here if you're a saucy girl. Been coming here for quite some time, recently noticed the sauce doesn't suffice the amount of shrimp I order. This last order, I asked if they can add enough sauce since prior times there isn't enough. As I picked up, I noticed the sauce was still not enough for the 3 pounds I ordered. I asked if I can buy extra and I was denied. Not sure why they limit you on the sauce. Only complaint with this spot.

    Family meal + fried calamari
    Jacqueline G.

    As a seafood boil fanatic, I have been wanting to taste test this place for some time now. Walking in it's not your average boiling crab / decorative ambience but don't let that fool you! The guy working cashier was super nice & they do have a lot of TVs around so it's perfect to watch live sports especially with all the drinks they have. Now as for the food, we ordered the Family Special #1 Company Cajun Sauce Extra Spicy lvl with a side of fried calamari. Now let me start by saying the amount of food we got was CRAZY they really stacked it up for a good price. The food itself was super delicious, well-cooked and seasoned. BE WARNED I loveee spicy things but the Extra Spicy had us all almost in tears!! I usually get that lvl at other seafood locations and can handle but this one was INSANEE. They really brought the heat so prepare yourselves on that one. I will DEF be going back but ordering the reg spicy one instead haha this is a good hidden seafood spot for sure!

    My family frequently purchases the Family Special which perfectly feeds our household of 5! I called the establishment to ask about the sausage used, because it's such a savory burst of flavors in my mouth! I also wanted to inform them that the overall tray was exceptionally spicy! We've never had a problem with the level of heat before. Let's put it this way, our meal was not an enjoyable experience after five minutes we were sweating so much, we called it quits!! We even ordered a side of The Boss extra spicy sauce. Ohhhh no! That was mind blowingly I was told a new cook was trained. I advised his hand needs not be so heavy with the spices! I hope he gets those measurements correct for the next time we order. Look at their drawing! They clearly warned us

    Fresh Crawfish with Boss sauce on the side! Yummy

    What are the current hours during the week? It says here they open 4pm, is that still accurate?

    Yes

    How spicy is the medium?

    It's a little spicy even for me and I love spicy food. However, if you are not too much of a fan of spicy food I think the mild would be better. It's still a bit spicy but absolutely doable if. My husband does not like spicy foods but the many times… 

    I'm from Louisiana and I am always very disappointed by places claiming to be Cajun and Creole. Is it really Cajun or a watered down California version?

    Not watered down at all. They are well known for their great sauces especially the Cajun one. They also have Lemon Pepper, Butter Garlic, Butter Garlic with a Kick, and their Boss Sauce which is a mixture of all of them.

    When is their happy hour?

    Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 4pm-9pm

Nuzzled in the neighborhood of Sylmar ( yes you heard right ... Don't let it fool you it's worth it, fer real), you'll find this gem. Now I won't call it a whole in the wall but I will say this place knows what it's doing. It's hip in its own special way. Tucked next to the Sylmar branch library. Even better, go get a book and read and eat some delicious tacos. I'm not an expert at Mexican food but I am definitely picky when I eat Mexican food. Unless it's home made ... By my Brother- in-law's mom, I'm probably not gonna even try because I'm just not eating my calories in things I'm not sure I'll enjoy. It's my form of a healthy diet . You'll have to convince me otherwise. This is me convincing you that these are worth it. There's also a mural that will welcome you and put a smile on your face. Ambiance and seating: Day date worthy with a friend or whoever. Seat yourself either inside or outside. Parking: the lot is small but there are designated spaces. Street parking also available. everywhere you park just watch the signs. I can only speak of the Tacos as I only order these because they're so good every single time. Now it's not a small taco. For I think it's $5 now a taco you'll get a cheese lined flour tortilla open faced taco packed with so much meat of your choice and some semi spicy sauce that just makes you want more. Shrimp tacos: fave. The only thing I wish is that they deveined the shrimp but it is loaded with flavor that get over that quick. And I can also devein of I really wanted to lol Fish: oh this is so good. It's fried but not deep fried and it's a filet so I like the way it separates in each bite. I am full off two tacos but I always want to eat more lol. Shout-out to my coworkers for showing me this place cuz it's a go to in the Valley for us.

The staff was super friendly and patient, and guided us through the options they have. As someone originally from the south, I approve of both the first and the fried okra, which I thought were super solid and flavorful. The fries were tasty too, and everything is cooked to order. Prices were reasonable - expect to pay 15-20 bucks a head, depending on how hungry you are and whether or not you want drinks. Drinks are in the can, so no refills. If we're in the area and jonesing for some southern style fish fry, I could definitely see us coming back.

The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly where you want to be on a hot summer day. The seafood was incredibly fresh and refreshing.

It made the whole meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you forget you're just minutes from home. I can't believe it took me this long to find Ceviches, but it definitely won't be six years before my next visit!

Parking was easy to find, which was a plus. The ambiance was casual, relaxed, and family-friendly. They have multiple TVs throughout the restaurant, and during my visit, they were showing a soccer game. I always like it when a restaurant broadcasts sporting events, even if it means the place sometimes gets very packed. I was really looking forward to trying their shrimp ceviche, but to my disappointment, they had run out by the time I arrived. I decided to go with my backup option instead: the camarones a la diabla. Camarones a la diabla is a dish consisting of shrimp cooked in a spicy red chile sauce. This restaurant also serves it with rice, toast, and a side of vegetables. As the name suggests, the shrimp are supposed to be spicy. As a spice enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for the best spicy dishes. The shrimp were cooked well, but they had a sweet taste. It almost seemed as if they had used ketchup in the sauce to tone down the heat. I'm honestly not a fan of mixing sweet with spicy, at least when it comes to protein. The vegetables that came with the dish were soggy and flavorless. The rice was okay but could have been better. The toast was pretty good, it was buttery, garlicky, and crispy. Overall, this dish wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best. The service during my visit was good. My server was attentive and helpful. He frequently stopped by to check if everything was okay. Overall, this experience didn't turn out exactly as I had expected, but it wasn't a bad experience by any means. I might return one day to try their shrimp ceviche.
