    Ceviche botanero
    Veronica L.

    I stumbled across this gem of a Mariscos restaurant while pumping gas across the street, thank goodness for their big billboard, because there's an empty lot in front that hides it from the street. What a lucky find! Inside seating is limited, but they make up for it with a spacious and lively patio where regulars seemed right at home. The traditional Mexican music was upbeat and loud enough to add to the great ambiance without drowning out our conversation. Everything was super clean, and the waitress (the only one working the floor!) was a rockstar. She was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive & never missed a beat despite handling multiple tables on her own. The food? Fantastic. Super fresh and flavorful. My husband, who's picky with seafood, devoured his shrimp aguachiles. I asked for agua de Jamaica, but they were out. The waitress suggested I try their agua de jasmine; something I'd never had before and wow, what a surprise! It was delicious and so refreshing, I even grabbed a refill to-go. Overall, we were really happy with the experience. Great service, tasty food, good vibes, and fair prices. We'll definitely be back and next time, we'll bring friends!

    This was my first time ever having lunch at a mariscos spot, and wow, I was blown away! We ordered a variety of different dishes to try, and every single one was packed with flavor and so fresh. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the octopus was hands down my favorite... tender, perfectly seasoned, and unforgettable. I'll definitely be coming back!

    The best place for seafood, it has a special flavor that makes them unique i had tried the cocktail and this time i went for the ceviche, everything is good here, i had agua de tamarindo and it's homemade i can taste the natural flavor, the service just great always making sure we're good.

    Pescado zarandiado

    Driving back home from Sacramento and stopped in Fresno for a bite. This place did not disappoint. Highly recommend the green aguachiles and the pescado zarandiado! Service was great. The lady was attentive, making sure we were taken care of. If you want the pescado, make sure to call ahead of time cause it takes about 50 min to be ready.

    Aguachile Mix. Freaking delicious

    This spot is amazing for pick up orders. Nothing hits better than an Aguachile platter to cure a Sunday hangover. $169 is pricey but delicious af.

    Very expensive 10.00 each with no beer ‼ 10 for a tomato menu is also very small there portions are pretty small ... it would be better

    Stuffed oyster(s)

    I come here often with my parents to eat and I swear the food hits the spot every time, the stuffed oysters and shrimp ceviche are A MUST!! I love how the service is fast and the people there are so nice!! This place has both indoor and outdoor seating but more so outdoor than indoor. There is no flies whatsoever. I love this place and I am going to go here every-time I crave mariscos!

    So good!!! Shrimp tower

    Came here with family after our Lake Tahoe trip and let me tell you it was very yummy. Rare to find good places like this one in LA. I got the ceviche de camaron and it was fresh and scrumptious. They have outdoor seating and the indoor seating is a little compact but better since they have AC. Friendly staff and the tostadas they use were yummy also, I believe they are Guadalajara style.

The wines we were able to try were great, and it felt like a nice spot for a small celebration. One small disappointment was that they were out of a few wines and gelato we were interested in trying, apparently because of an event earlier in the evening. It limited the selection a bit for us, which was a little unfortunate. I did enjoy many of the cocktails, especially the Drop the Lemon (delicious lemon drop) and the Caramel Apple Carousel (tastes like apple pie!). We also enjoyed the Petite Charcuterie board, which was a great selection for a small group. That said, our server Esteban really made the experience. He was super chill, friendly, and attentive. He gave great suggestions and made sure our group was taken care of throughout the night. He has such fun energy and really made sure we had a great time as well. Overall, a very nice place for a birthday gathering, and Esteban's service definitely stood out. I'd come back again to try more of their wines!

    I love it here and definitely want to come back!…read more I stopped in with some friends for a drink before our reservation across the street, we had the best experience leaving me eager for my next visit. The drinks were so good and the menu looked amazing too! They have so many options to choose from, perfect place to share a few bites with a group.

The setup itself is just weird; you have to stand outside and wait for someone to come out to seat you. When you go inside, its small and has kind of a "bar meets saddam hussein's palace" kind of vibe, there is gold everywhere in here. Not to mention its a bar that has been converted into a restaurant, its separated by the check-in desk by drapery. One good point is that all of the staff is very friendly and attentive, although I think our waitress had to cover every table in the place, which seems kind of not great for her! We started with some drinks, they were both good, no complaints there. After they came we ordered our food, we ordered them one at a time. First up was the bacon wrapped dates. These were pretty good, the bacon was cooked well and had some good crisp, it paired well with the dates and cheese inside. The walnut was kind of weird and my wife and I both thought for a second the date pit hadn't been removed. Next we got the corn empanadas, these were disappointing but not awful. The dough was cooked fine but it has absolutely no flavor, like nothing at all. The filling was also cooked ok, the corn had good texture, but similarly, had no flavor, about the only thing I could tint was a tiny bit of cilantro. Once you dip it in the sauce that comes with it, things improve, but we both felt the empanadas should be able to stand on their own. The last tapas item we got was the costillas al ajillo, these were both disappointing AND awful. They are advertised as "fall off the bone fried rib tips, garlic infused olive oil, crisp garlic chips" The only thing crispy about this was the meat itself, it was incredibly dry and had no flavor. There was a little bit of olive oil and some minced garlic, but not "crispy garlic chips". Credit where credits due they took if off the bill, but it was just incredibly bad. We finished with the chocolate flan which was quite good, no complaints there. All in all it was disappointing and I don't know that we would come back.

I couldn't get the directions so I had to call and the person over the phone was very professional and gave me solid directions, kudos to them. When I arrived they had a stand with the menu and one on the side of the truck, I was able to get my order in quickly and have to say it's a fair price for some tacos. I went ahead and ordered 4 tacos ( 2 asada, and 2 pastor). The tacos were really good and it was nice to not have a greasy street taco. The chile verde they had in the taco had a bit of a kick, then again I'm a lightweight when it comes to salsa. They had a nice table and tent set up, along with a salsa and condiment stand. Since it was a nice day I sat down and enjoyed my tacos. Overall I'd have to say i really liked this taco but that salsa really took away a bit from the enjoyment of the taco, id like if they let me choose the salsa from The ones they had this way I could enjoy a semi spice free taco. Overall It's a great stop for some food and plate combos, I'll definitely be back to try a plate they have in the menu. Thanks for the awesome service today.
