    Empanadas
    Natalie M.

    Fresh and flavorful mariscos that reminds me of Mexico. My family and I came here last weekend and man did El Cevichazo did not disappoint. We were seated immediately and the server was beyond helpful. We ordered the aguachile verde, empanadas, tacos el gobernador, and the botana de camaron y pulpo. We met the owner and he was incredibly attentive. He gave his personal recommendations, noted the most popular items, let us try the negro sauce/marinade used for the aguachiles, and gave us a sushi roll on the house. The food itself was fresh and had the perfect kick to it. I liked the aguachiles and the green chile had a nice kick to it. The black version is less spicy and has a nice tang to it. Next time I come, I think I'll get the aguachile negro. I want to note that the aguachiles are still gray, as I know some people may have a preference. The empanadas had good flavor and were perfectly crispy. We also ordered a michelada and horchata. They add coconut to the horchata and it's refreshing without being too sweet. My mom enjoyed the michelada. Overall, the food was great and I would come back again. The only negative would be parking since El Cevichazo is in a small shopping center with limited parking. However the food and service were both great.

    Receipt for two fish tacos

    Stopped in for a quick solo lunch. Service was friendly and fast. Comfortable environment to eat in, 4-5 tables. Ordered two Baja style fish tacos and they were delicious. Was also provided tostadas and crackers and a glass of ice water. Great meal for about 10 bucks! Hard to beat :)

    5 tostadas of Shrimp ceviche combined in one container

    My no sabo self tried by little heart to speak Spanish, and definitely was understood (thankfully) haha. However, the servers were very rude about it. Otherwise, the food was good! Shrimp in the ceviche does come very raw/grey, thankfully it was a to go order so I added more lemon and let it cook at home. The flavor/mix is savory and does not lack any flavor! I don't think the squirt preparado has any alcohol & the miche is a MUST. Lastly, the location is nice but ambiance could be friendlier/warmer. Would come back for the food if I can get past the vibes here.

    Dios mío santo señor que delicia de empanadas y la comida riquísima, vine desde San Diego y totalmente valió la pena. Regresaría una y otra ves me encanto. La atención es muy buena atenta Gracias

    This place used to be good. Ordered for pick-up, gentlemen said 25mins. Got there 30 minutes later and had to wait another 15mins to get my order, so 45mins from the phone call. All 5 fish tacos were made on cold tortillas, straight out of the bag. They crumbled in my hands. Not to mention the cold fish. I've watched too many business fail in your exact location over the years, don't be the next.

    Food was ok service was mediocre. Waitress was not welcoming and had an attitude for no reason. Had their mango margarita tasted like a mango smoothie was better off ordering an agua fresca. Would probably come back for takeout not to sit down.

    The food is amazing never disappoints. My favorite thing to get here are the Empanadas de Camaron and the Guerito Roll. Sooooooooo delicious.

    My visit was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and we were promptly greeted and seated upon arrival. While the dishes were prepared adequately, they offered a taste of the expected flavors without much flair. The service was prompt and courteous. The menu features a decent selection of Mexican seafood dishes, including birria. For drinks, they offer agua fresca like horchata and jamaica, as well as a decent selection of bottled beer and other Mexican sodas. The this small restaurant has indoor seating only with front parking available. The bathroom was clean.

    I was at this restaurant with one of my sons and his girlfriend this afternoon 1/7/2024 Sunday about 3:00 pm. The waitress asked me if everything was ok . We had a little situation with our order. She told us that the owner was there and she was going to share this information with him. The owner came out And apologized in person and explained to us what could had happened....... He worked it up for us .. It was not what we expected. I was very impressed. This is not the 1st time I come to this restaurant and I always bring new people with us. This will definitely not be the last time. Don't forget to try the cevitostitos. Thank you.

From the moment we walked in, the energy was right -- staff greeted us warmly, got us seated quickly, and our server checked in at all the right moments without hovering. You can tell the team genuinely cares about the experience. Now let's talk about the food, because wow. We ordered the seafood combo with shrimp, snow crab legs, and crawfish in their signature "Boiling Daddy Special" sauce at medium spice. The sauce is the star here -- buttery, garlicky, with just enough heat to make your lips tingle without overpowering the natural sweetness of the seafood. Every bite of shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked, the crab legs cracked open clean and were loaded with sweet meat, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all that incredible sauce. We also got the Cajun fries on the side and they did NOT disappoint -- crispy, well-seasoned, and dangerously addictive. The portions are generous, the prices are fair for the quality, and yes, you WILL leave smelling like garlic butter. Worth it.

    This place is so refreshing compared to your niche kicking crab or boiling crab…read more We mixed our own bag with the daddy sauce. With the amount of garlic they put in the sauce it's so well balanced that I couldn't even tell garlic was in there! We got the omg level spicy & it hits you in the back vs the front. Doesn't linger too long & gets you coming back for more. I love that the food came in a party tray and not in a bag. Instead of egg noodle for garlic noodles they used linguine. Soooooooo goood! Felt way less heavier. Overall, the food was delicious, flavorful, not too oily. 10/10 The girl who took our order was super sweet! The place is small and super clean. & I love that they were playing Spanish music! So happy we decided to try this place!

We stopped by on a Friday before noon, originally just planning to grab some frozen black cod. But while browsing the market, we spotted sea bream, which is much harder to come by, so we ended up picking up about 1.6 lbs ($35/lb). Haven't tried it yet, but will definitely update this review once we do. This review is actually for the bar seating area, which I believe operates as a separate restaurant under the same owner. You get to taste sushi made from the same fresh seafood being sold in the market. Of course I can't talk about the food without talking about the prices. They have a Happy Hour menu (the green one -- see photos), and when we went, they were also running a BOGO deal on several items and one being black cod $10 for 4 pieces. Such a steal. The slices were on the thinner side, but the quality was still amazing, especially for the price point. Fresh, clean flavors, and you can tell the fish is high quality. I totally wish we could've tried more items, but we had just eaten lunch beforehand. The employees and the owner, I think, was really friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Between the market and the bar, this place is a win. I'll definitely be coming back, both for the fresh fish selection and for a sit down.

We stopped by here on my birthday for a nice evening dinner. Got there a little before sunset. There's just something magical about eating outside during a sunset, especially at the Orange Plaza. The restaurant has such a cool look and vibe! We started off with the Hamachi crudo, salmon ceviche, and a bowl of clam "chowdah". The crudo was absolutely delicious, highly recommend. The salmon ceviche was really good but a bit heavy on the sauce for me. The clam chowder had whole clams in the shell throughout. That was fun to pick them out! For entrees we got the lean and mean plate with sea bass. It comes with salad and rice, we substituted the rice for black beans. We also got the skirt steak "bulgogi" which was served on top of mushrooms and bok choy with a sweet soy sauce. They accidentally brought out salmon instead of sea bass, but were very apologetic. They brought out a sea bass on the side and comped the entree to make up for it. Great service right there! The salmon and seabass were both delicious and cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and juicy, full of flavor. As a birthday gift they brought out a thai milk tea blondie sundae which was soooo good! Get it if you like sweets. I wish the owners all the best in their future endeavors, they created a great restaurant that many will miss. Thanks to all the servers, hostesses, cooks, and bussers as well for making my birthday dinner so special!
