Drinks after a hard workday were desperately needed lol. Parking: There's a small parking lot, so finding an open spot can be a bit difficult. Ambiance/Environment: Very casual and chill. They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. There's no ac, so it became warm until they opened the door for fresh air. Service: You can either place an order to-go or dine in. If you're dining in, seat yourself and a worker will assist you. Thank you Vanessa for taking care of my coworker and I! She's courteous, quick, & efficient. She spoke Spanish but knows enough English to get by. Food & drinks: 1) Birria Grilled Cheese - I looove anything birria. The consome tasted amazing; not too salty. The grilled cheese had a generous amount of beef and cheese. So good! 2) Ceviche Pescado - They're known for their ceviche, so of course we had to get one. Pescado is Spanish for fish. The ceviche was citrusy and fresh. They gave us a good amount of tostadas to eat it with. 3) Mango Margarita - The mango flavor definitely came through. It was too strong. More so on the sweeter/fruity end. Pricing: Prices are as expected from a small business. We enjoyed everything, and we'll definitely be back for more!

Birria Taco

This is your typical five star homestyle taco joint. Reminds me of the places I used to eat as a kid in Mexico. I didn't post a picture of the Horchata oh my God it's better than my mom makes me mad at my mom for not making Horchata this good. And the price is right. The fish taco was pleasantly crunchy soft with a little spicy kick to it truly undescribable and the birria taco is the best in Orange County!!!

Sushi Roll
Ramon R.

I just asked for a Sushi roll and let me tell you it was the Bomb!!! Plus whoever was on Aux tenías ambiente bueno. They checked in on me every now n then, true hospitality from the staff. It's kinda hidden between all the other places but if you want to have some quick seafood definitely recommend dropping in. Once again Thanks for the food.

Mexican Sprite

All their food is delicious. I like spicy food and they offer plenty of options. The restaurant and restroom are always clean. They have two TVs for customers to watch and music playing for an awesome vibe. I've visited this facility so many times I feel like Family! Their service is awesome.

Taco gobernador and salsa :)
Annie M.

We were on the search for some empanadas de camarón and boy is this the place to handle some cheesy, flavorful empanadas. Other yummy foods were the tacos gobernador, taco de pulpo (spicy version), and grilled cheese de birria (no photo because it was too good that hunger was quicker than the camera). The kids quesadilla with fries and a capri is good for your little ones that just eat a little bit (comen como pollito). The horchata was made with coconut and had the right amount making it a mandatory beverage to have alongside with the food. Now the only reason there's a star off is because the PARKING LOT HERE IS TERRIBLE. So 'to go' is an option if you can't stay to eat, but have someone with you when you come because at least they or you need to go get the food. :)

Michelada

Everything we got was 10/10. Already planning on stopping by our next Disney trip and will be recommending to our friends.

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
Laura M.

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
Priscilla L.

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.

Empanada de Camarón

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 review I assume is the OG on Garden Grove -- parking could be tough during the weekend. OC & La, is a Vietnamese seafood spot for sharing a bunch of dishes. I found out that "OC" means snails! I thought it was Orange County! Hahaha. We tried - razor clams, scallops (HUGE), the selection of salads are amazing so we got the spicy mango - House Special Mango Salad with squid & escargot -- is spicy , tangy, refreshing, and the refreshing taste! My favorite dish was the HUGE fried fish...color is amazing and the way the fish was presented seal the deal for me. Between two people, we devoured the entire fish !! It's the kind of place where you order "just a few things" and suddenly the entire table is covered in food. But, I'm not complaining since the team is very quick in getting the used plates off our tables. Also, both places offered FREE dessert. It's like a coconut based taro and other root sweet dish.

The most recent time, we came at 8:30pm on weekday and there were 29 parties ahead of us (LOL), soooo plan ahead and join the waitlist through yelp. We probably waited about 30 minutes.

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.

We arrived at the restaurant and the cashier helped us right away. We got our order in a brown takeout bag and grabbed a few of their bibs & gloves. The bag definitely felt heavy. They double bagged our order so it would not spill whatsoever. They also gave us a bunch of sliced lemons and two containers of salt & pepper. Let me tell you, these shrimps were BIG. They were very meaty and super flavorful. I adored the seafood boil sauce that it comes in because it had SO much garlic and I really liked how tasty this was. The shrimp absorbed all the flavor, but it did not stop us from dipping it in more of the sauce to make it even more tasty! We even squeezed some of the lemon into the bag as well. It is such a messy meal, but so fun if you're a seafood lover. I think it's worth trying if you have never tried a seafood boil before. This was more of a Vietnamese-Cajun styled seafood boil, so I found it to be even more tastier!

Super knowledgeable in everything they have to offer and a great friendly personality. We went with several of Jason suggestions. We started off with a rainbow roll. The roll was a decent size and definitely had fresh sushi. Our second course was a cup of the Clam Chowder. The was absolutely delicious. Several chunks of clams and potatoes. This would be in the top 3 at Pismo Clam Fest and could take first!!! For an entree I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass. I had the mashed potatoes and grilled zucchini for the sides. WOW!!!!! The Chilean Sea Bass was cooked perfectly and seasoned well!!! It was a large portion of fish. The potatoes were some of the best I've tasted. The flavor was so fresh made tasting and loaded in butter and cream I would guess. The grilled zucchini was thick cut and cooked perfectly. The finale was when he enticed us to order the dessert. OMG what an amazing dessert this was. It was a butter cake with fresh raspberries and blackberries and homemade vanilla ice cream. What ever you do, do not skip on ordering this dessert. It was nice and warm with the ice cream nestled on top. The round edges of the cake had been rolled in a fine sugar and added a great sweet crunch to the cake. There was also some homemade whipped cream to add to your diabetes. Don't be afraid of the few bad reviews. If you have a choice ask for Jason for a server!!!! Outstanding evening and we will return next time we come to Disneyland.
