Fried tilapia with French fries, salad topped with fresh avocado, and Spanish rice
Thomas C.

I had the fried tilapia, soooo good!! What topped it off was the awesome service given by Gabby who took our order. Kept checking to see if we needed anything else and super friendly. I'll keep coming back.

Fish Tacos

We absolutely love their Fried Fish or Shrimp Tacos. We go on Sunday for the Fish or Mondays for the Shrimp because they have price specials on those days. Super friendly workers and owner. Plentiful shrimp and fish with tacos and condiments. They're not stingy at all. Has outside seating with shade but we typically get ours to go. We travel from South Central just for these tacos. Totally worth it! We bought 25 Tacos today, lol.

6/26/24 Orden de aguachile.  9 camarones.  Mitad cebolla y mitad camarón. Por $6.99.  Que inche robo. Se pasan.

The food was okay. But some things are a rip-off like the order of agua chile. 9 fuqen shrimp for $6.99. It was half shrimp and half onion. Don't order this. Or order it with shrimp only. Tacos de camaron were $3.25 for 3 tiny shrimps on each taco. More veggies than anything. Cóctel de camaron was OK. Place disappointed. I'll stick with Tacos Baja in East L.A. I really tried with this spot but felt I got ripped off. Ponganle mas! Nos sean codos!

Been coming for years at this location. Great prices at good portions. Loved the value meals of fish tacos on Tuesdays/Sundays and I hear the shrimp tacos are great as well. Let me tell you about the Fish tacos: Its a well portioned deep fried crispy fish on two corn tortillas, topped with cabbage, onions, Diced tomato cilantro, Sour cream and a hot sauce, accompanied by a Chile. You can add radishes, lemon from outside the window. It's their signature item. Parking is ok and Bob's Freeze is right next door. On a hot sunny day, this is the place to go for a refreshing meal of ceviche, tostadas and fish tacos and ice cream for dessert next door. I give it 4 stars because they really need to update their Price signs. They have huge advertisements all over but they don't honor it because they've increased their prices. I understand the price of everything has gone up, just change the sign.

Prices and service was great. They just have to make sure they clean their shimp. I felt like I was eating aguanchiles con caca. Like what's the reason of cutting them open if ur leaving the guts.. not tasty at all.

Two fish tacos & shrimp taco.

Good & cheap! Tuesday & Sunday 99cent fish tacos. Also tried the marlin taco and shrimp taco but fish tacos definitely my fav!

The BEST fish tacos you'll ever have
Micky N.

Fish. Tacos. Amazing. Really, SO good! I was walking around trying to find a place to eat while my bf's car was getting fixed and we came across the ice cream stand attached to a taco place. I was only going to get ice cream, but I noticed that there was a deal that day for .99 fish tacos. I decided to get one to try it. Best decision I've ever made haha. I went back to get a second! The fish was really fresh and crispy. It came with the usual cabbage, white sauce, and pico. The hot salsa that came with it complimented it really well. I love spicy foods though so this was perfect, but if you can't handle spice I would get a different salsa! I can't wait to try the shrimp tacos. A woman who was there at the same time said that they were really good! The staff was extremely friendly! I usually don't care to write about customer service because I'm all about the food, but everyone was so sweet. I had to wait a bit, but it was worth it because the fish tacos were freshly fried. I will definitely be back! Love that they also have daily deals.

Tostada Super Mixta! So yummmy i loved it

Best 100.00 spend on a solo lunch. 2 x cocktails (Lychee…read moreDreams + Sirens Song) Souris River 1/2 dozen Raw Oysters Truffle Parmesan Garlic Fries House Pan Roast (Assorted Seafood in Creme Cajun Sauce) Bam! Best $100.00 lunch I've had in a while. Worth every bite! Oysters fresh. Lightly sweet, paired well with cocktail and chimichurri sauce. Both cocktails were light on the palate with enough of a hit, not too sugary. Paired well with Oysters. The House Pan Roast. Without question I'd recommend to anyone who's visiting here the first time. I was originally going to settle for some market price lobster pasta but decided since everyone posted the House Pan Roast Steam the most might as well. Great choice regardless. Bartender Manager very professional. You feel taken care of. Ambiance without question excellent dine in atmosphere, very modern decor. So I just came back from a dispatch to Lansing Michigan and ate at one of their Seafood Boils...does not compare to this establishment in Temple City Los Angeles!!!

Outstanding! Flavors were totally on point - zesty, herbaceous, complex creole/cajun…read more Lobster pasta is a must have at any price, but one serving is plenty for 2 people (it is, after all, pasta cooked in a roux). Fish and chips were great; fries were herbed and well seasoned; calamari was crazy good. Clam chowder was remarkably delicious - I'm from New England so I'm picky about my chowder, especially if it's not "authentic" - but this chowder with the Cajun twist was really something else - a definite must try. Bread pudding (the original with the berry compote) is a must have, so be sure to leave room Also, our server Jenny is a superhero - she was the only one there and held it down all by herself during a busy Friday lunch service; she was genuinely friendly, highly attentive and gave great suggestions on what to order 10 stars.

Went here after graduation with family and honestly it was such a comforting and lively dinner…read morespot. I've actually been coming here since I was a kid when I used to live in Monterey Park, so this place holds a lot of memories for me. It's one of those restaurants that has stayed consistently good throughout the years. My absolute favorite dish here is the red rice with shaken beef. The sweet and sour sauce they give with it is SO bomb and honestly makes the whole dish even better. I seriously crave it all the time. The house special fish fillet was also amazing, super flavorful and definitely one of my go-to dishes here. Portions are generous, making it perfect for family style dining and celebrations. The atmosphere always feels lively and welcoming, especially for bigger groups. Service was busy but still attentive considering how packed it was. I'm sorry for no pics this time, but they really deserve the recognition they receive. Definitely one of those longtime spots I'll always come back to.

Everything looks so good visually, but unfortunately the flavor just wasn't there. We ordered the…read moreorange chicken, honey walnut shrimp, garlic noodles, and chicken fried rice -- all recommended by our server. One nice touch was the complimentary tea at the table when you sit down. The service is terrible. The e sat down with two other tables at the same time.. server took everyone's order and we wait 1 hr for them to come to us-we shared this with his and finally got his iPad and came back. No apology or anything just walked away and came back. The presentation of the food was amazing and definitely picture-worthy, which is probably why the reviews are so positive, but overall everything lacked seasoning and flavor. Great for photos, not so much for taste. Save your money
