    Ahi Tuna poke bowl
    Lisa Q.

    3.5 Stars, nice clean establishment with friendly service. Food was so so. I wanted a quick healthy dinner, and decided to try the poke bowl here. The ahi tuna was a little fishy, and the "ponzu" sauce was quite sweet. There was no wasabi either. It wasn't the poke bowl I was expecting. I guess I should've stuck to the cooked fish options.

    Swai Fish with Roasted Street Corn & Balsamic Brussel Sprouts
    Angela L.

    Haven't dined in for a while- usually get takeout. I ordered the swai fish, half Cajun and half garlic butter, with fire roasted corn and balsamic glaze brussel sprouts as sides. The plate was HUGE, beautifully presented and everything was so, so delicious. The fish was fresh, flavorful and even better enjoyed right away when you dine in. The staff was also attentive and walked by to check on us while we were eating. Great food, generous portions and fresh flavors. Love it and definitely will be back!

    What's up: Wanted to grab something with fish for dinner. Last time we enjoyed the seafood at California Fish Grill, so we decided to go and get a dish there. Parking: Plenty of parking available. Located in Hastings Ranch Plaza, parking is shared among the nearby businesses. We didn't have any issues finding a spot in the evening. Environment: We had placed our order ahead of time using Uber Eats. When we arrived, we went up to the pick up area at the counter. A short wait later and we received our order. What was ordered: - Salmon and Swai Combo (yummy; we also got it with fries) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The meals at California Fish Grill have been consistently good. This time was the same and pick up was easy. Credit cards are accepted.

    3 PIECE BATTERED FISH & CHIPS
    Ann C.

    My BF has been asking to try CFG so we did tonight. He ordered calamari, lobster roll, fish and chips, and poke nachos for me. Let's start with the good. We did like the fish and chips. The pieces were big and the fish was flakey. The calamari was pretty good. Okay, now for the not so good. The expensive lobster roll was really small, half the lobster of other places, and lacked flavor. I wanted the poke with salad but their app didn't allow me to order it so I had to go with the poke nacho. The poke nachos was not so good as well. The portion was big but the house sauce was too sweet and made me not want to eat much of it. I wouldn't mind coming back for the fish and chips but that's about it.

    I went to California Fish Grill with my best friend, and let me just say we made excellent choice for dinner. First of all, 100% sustainable seafood? Love that for us. Saving the planet while eating good is the kind of multitasking I support. We dined in and ordered the lobster roll plate which came with two buttery, tender lobster-filled rolls and fries (because balance). The lobster was so fresh and flavorful, I genuinely paused mid-bite just to process how good it was. And the fire-roasted street corn? Delicious! Not your average street corn. This was packed with flavor. 10/10 would come back! Also, a ton of parking!

    I recently catered with this fish grill location and it was perfectly executed. Frances was the manager and she took care of my order. I had to call to confirm the order a day before but during pick up she packed up everything perfectly. Down to the sauces and the utensils and separating items based on cold and hot. The guests enjoyed the food very much. Thank you!

    Dylan, the outstanding employee

    Great experience thanks to Dylan. He was courteous, quick, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Highly appreciated!

    Great customer service from Carla. I'll be back soon. Also the manager Frances was amazing and took time to talk to me. Both greeted me with smiles and great suggestions.

    Coconut shrimp
    Steve S.

    Fantastic spot for grilled fish! I went with the Swai fish/Salmon fish combo plate and I chose half cajun/half garlic butter sauces on top of my fish. The fish came on the bed of rice and I added coconut shrimp and cesar salad as my sides. The fish was incredibly delicious, tender and juicy and the cajun and garlic sauces on top added great flavors to the fish. The coconut shrimp had great flavor to it and was crispy on the outside and perfectly tender on the inside. The cesar salad was okay. Overall, a great combo plate and definitely worth a try! The spot itself has multiple tables and a patio for dining in. You order through an electronic device at the register, but I did have a nice lady come up to me and advise me on some bestselling items. All in all, a very satisfactory experience with good service and great, generous-portioned food!

    What are dynamite fries?

    They are an extinct delicacy of the past since the decided to get rid of the magic sauce :(

    What ever happened to the fish burritos? That used to be a favorite of mine whenever I was anywhere near the El Segundo location. Has that just been eliminated from the menu?

    Before you read anything else, they only take cash so be sure to hit an ATM before you come…read more So many things I love about this taco truck! We had gone to the UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl on Saturday night and after all the mayhem was over at 11:30 pm I really wanted some truly good food and not get gouged on price - and I knew that Yelp would help me find just that...and we found Los California Tacos! First of all, this food truck was voted the nations #1 food truck in 2022 by ZenBusiness who evaluates food trucks based on Yelp reviews and voted them #1 out of the top 10 most reviewed food trucks in the US! - So there's that. And then we found out why, first hand. I'm originally from Texas and the rule there is the way to find a great restaurant you for a place that has a lot of cars in the parking lot and a line out the door. And this taco truck is tucked back in the small parking lot of an auto repair shop sonofabitch you're driving too fast you might miss it. But we saw all the cars parked on the street and then the line of people at the truck. My girlfriend was like "I don't wanna wait a half hour to eat" but because of how late it was (they stay open till 2:30 am) we decided to stay and give it a try. It was astonishing how fast they were moving people through that line! From the time we hit that parking lot, we were feasting within 5-7 mins. They only serve 2 things - street tacos ($2.50 each) and we later saw that they also serve nachos (not sure what the price is on nachos - but we'd love to try those next time ). They have a wonderful assortment of meats as you can see from my pic: asada (steak), pastor (BBQ pork), carnitas (fried pork), chicharron (spicy pork), cabeza (beef cheek) & pollo (chicken). We got asada, pastor and pollo tacos and they were VERY good. You can get spicy or mild and they come with onions & cilantro. There are 4 or 5 guys cooking and as soon as you tell them what you want they are handing to you - not kidding, lightning fast, hot & fresh! It is artistic how well-oiled their whole business runs and is VERY impressive!! They don't have actual tables (because that would be inefficient). The auto repair shop has installed a pull-down shelf on the parking lot wall that you walk over to once you have your food and it is very efficient and absolutely perfect for this location. Again, this one our most impressive finds and $14 for 5 tacos and a 5 min wait for what looks to be a 30+ min wait is just unheard of. 5 stars all day long!!

When I finally got around to eating the tacos, it was very tasty and there was a nice crisp to the Ensenada style tacos. I definitely cheer for places like this, and I tend to score a little higher only because I feel like there needs to be more places like this around. Not only that, but they have a pretty extensive menu, but I really just came here specifically for the fish tacos on this visit.

Arrachera taco was definitely a special treat! The blue corn tortilla held perfectly and the meat had just the right texture. I wouldn't get this all the time as it's pricey, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself. Mango Fresca was right up my alley. It's not too sweet with a little pulp, I'd definitely get this again. Would definitely recommend, I'll be coming back.
