    Secret tacos
    Marcus O.

    Excellent food served by an excellent server. With great vibes. I ordered a mango ceviche with a side of viagra.com. A horchata de coco is the recommended drink unless you're drinking a miche.

    Thank you Carlos and staff! Everyone was friendly, attentive and when we asked what they suggested, he gave a great overview of what to expect ! The atmosphere was inviting, and nice n cool a/c ! The shrimp dishes were beyond what I expected ! Full of flavor, nice presentation and great price . We will definitely be back again. This Diamond in the rough is the spot to try out !

    Cucumber Lemonade

    I've only had food from here as takeout and each time it's been excellent, exceptionally fresh seafood ceviches mixed with chopped everything. I like the Changoneada: shrimp ceviche with chopped mango , cucumbers and peanuts plus the mariquita signature sauce. I also like the klauser: shrimp, shredded carrots topped with more of the spicy habanero aioli and chopped mangoes plus cucumbers. They serve these with crisp tostadas but I usually have some tortilla chips from Northgate market lying around and I like eating it that way instead. Also tried the cucumber lemon drink which is refreshing! I almost never have carbonated soda unless it's ceviche or tacos, so today was my super cheat day.

    Mojarra Frita Lobster Fries
    Mayra V.

    Staff was really friendly and the ambiance was great. My only complaint was the food. I ordered the fried fish and it was super bland. I kept adding the sauce it came with to get some flavor but it was not hitting it. I love fish especially mojara frita and everywhere else I tried it always comes out good, simple but tasty. I also didn't like that breading thing it had around it. It was hard and wasn't given anything so it didn't make sense to add it. I will say the lobster fries were really good. Loved the sauce on those.

    Small spot in Bell gardens. Not much parking. BUT, great seafood tacos! Wished they served hard liquor, but the cervezas and micheladas will suffice. Had the famous fried fish tacos and fish tacos al pastor! Loved them both. We also had the Tres Palos ceviche with fish, shrimp, abalone, crab, and octopus and it was bomb! Finally, tried the lobster and octopus tacos. Everything was just great! Loved the food and service, all for a fair price based on the quality. Luckily came to dine when it wasn't peak dining hour, so parking was easy and service was quick. Will be back again for more!

    A MUST-Stop for us whenever we find ourselves in the area.

    A MUST GO SPOT in Bell Gardens. The food is truly out of this world delicious. It's the type of meal you find yourself pausing to truly savor the flavors & moments where you just say, "yum". The service is incredible, the recipes are original and wholesome, the portions are fantastic, and the ambiance is humble. I will always crave my next return, and I would certainly recommend this spot to friends & family.

    Doesn't look like much passing by but the way they remodeled the inside it's perfect!! The food is amazing, the tacos are so delicious and so is the ceviche ‍ Ohhhh and let's not forget customer service is also A1 ! Shootout too Carlos for his bomb ass service!!

    Lobster Fries
    Vanessa R.

    Their lobster fries are so good highly recommend. I also enjoyed their fresh Aguas frescas. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. The parking was a struggle though, but I hope they make enough business to expand.

    Great food. Haven't tried something in the menu that we haven't liked yet. The Lobster Nachos and Tacos Revueltos are among the favorites.

We got Combo #1 (first time price of $65.99) which was a great way for us to try a little bit of everything. Each combo came with a generous amount of potatoes, sausages and 2 corn on the cobs. The seafood was so fresh! I especially loved the crab legs which were sweet and meaty! Everything tasted amazing with the mix of Cajun, garlic butter, and lemon pepper sauce and the sauce also had Thai flavors with the basil leaves. We got mild which was spicier than expected, but I enjoyed the kick. Overall, the food was delicious and I would come back to try their other combos and dishes. The servers were friendly and attentive as well - refilling our waters and getting us what we needed. The restaurant was spacious and felt clean and parking wasn't too bad with a lot in the front.

We'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great mariscos and top-tier service.

We got one order of tostada cruda mixta camarón , no spice and it was 100% tostada de ceviche de camarón & also spicy af. When my daughter & I picked the order up, the about 7 females working the dining room were rude. Didn't acknowledge us whatsoever after standing there for several minutes. I finally had to approach someone myself and she made it obvious we were bugging her. Absolutely No one was friendly but that could be because we weren't men because we could see that their demeanor with males was different And this is the second time we've noticed that. We've only been here twice and the first time we dined in and the same thing. The waitress was not very courteous, and we noticed the whole male female thing, but the food was so good that we tried it again only to experience the same thing minus the good food. I am very upset because our order was almost $70 for them just to mess it up and make it to where we couldn't even eat it. Such a waste of my money. I won't be back again, and I'll make sure to tell my friends of what we experienced. I rarely ever leave negative reviews on here, only when the situation calls for it. This called for it.
