Camarones Cucarachos and camarones zarandeados
Kati C.

Love the food. My go to plate are the shrimps. Service is always on point. Really clean with nice music playing

Real delicious Mexican & sea food food. Food is always a hit 10/10 and very good customer service. Beer here is also available and karaoke. Really feel like I'm in Mexico when I'm here haha.. I was a regular here before I moved I give big props as well to the chefs here. They always make everything fresh!

I've got to admit, this has to be one of the freshest seafood places I have EVER tasted in Orange County. It's a must for anyone that is looking for the best tasting and freshest seafood around. Every single time I'm here, the food has never let me down. Highly recommend but come ready to spend with inflation. The plates are full appropriately and the atmosphere is great if you're looking for a good time. Don't hesitate and come try them. Try the 7 mares and you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Doesn't look like much when you past by the Mexican Seafood Restaurant. Right? But little do you know this Restaurant been in my childhood ever since I was 5 years old. I remember the Chips and Salsa were always my favorite when I first sit down. The salsa is beautifully made with a little spice that makes your tongue get on fire but you just simply can't get enough of it. Ever since I started going with my family when I was 5 years old and now... I just recently went yesterday with my Valentines date. And I have to say the mariscos are still A1! They haven't lost their magical taste of the marisco plates/dishes. I tried something new yesterday which was: "Filete Rellenó!" The plate filled me up so fat that I felt like a pregnant women at the end of the day but it was still good! Keep it up, El Nuevo Ensanda!

Aguachiles

Stopped by today for some lunch and drinks with my wife. Maria was supper friendly and attentive! She made excellent recommendations. We started off with some oysters and aguachiles- my wife had a mango margarita on the rocks, and I ordered a bucket of pacifico's. For entrees - gordonize ala diabla and camarones con crema and hand-made tortillas! Both were super delicious! Was definitely worth our long drive! Will be back!

Been here many times. I sometimes just come for salsa and chips because I LOVE their salsa. Today we came because on the website they have posted $ 1 taco Tuesday, 2 for $5 tacos al gobernador, $20 beer buckets and karaoke night.. when I walked in they were playing the karaoke and plenty of people with buckets of beer. When I ask about the taco Tuesday or the 2 for $5 shrimp tacos she tells me they told her not today.. wow! They need to post a sign up or update on the web that it's not every Tuesday only when they feel like it. I am disappointed and so were my 6 & 7yo. Reason is because we wanted to TRY the tacos because not everyone makes good tacos and here they're $3.25 per taco. I ended up spending $31 on 3 shrimp tacos a quesadilla and 3 drinks. I have tried their shrimp cocktail and piña colada which is delicious Furthermore I might not be coming back again.

If I could give 1 star I would. I went in and ordered 5 shrimp tacos to go. I asked the lady what was on the tacos she said she didn't know I asked her could she ask the chef she came bk and told me lettuce and tomatoes. Needless to say I get home and open it and its shrimp and hot sauce I ate one and it was so hot I could even eat the rest. $30+ down the drain my kids couldn't even eat them either. Im PISSED!!!

Back when it was open only to go for now

I really miss going here for the tostadas calientes! They are my fave! Now because of quarantine I get them to go and my whole family loves them! Can't wait till they open fully so I can enjoy some cold and

We recently relocated from Garden Grove to the Santa Ana/Fountain Valley area and have been on the…read morehunt for a Mexican restaurant to fill the void left by our beloved spot in Los Alamitos. Thanks to Restaurant Week, we stumbled upon this gem, and we are so grateful. The hospitality alone would earn five stars. But then came the food. The tacos? Absolutely exceptional. The steak was tender and flavorful in a way that reminded me of eating throughout Mexico, you could actually taste the meat. A light, gentle pickle of vegetables on top, minimal cheese, nothing heavy or greasy. These are not the American-style tacos drowning in a pound of melted cheese. These are the real thing. The beans were lovely, the rice was solid, and my passion fruit winearita drink was genuinely a treat. Restaurant Week gave us the perfect low-pressure reason to try somewhere new, and we walked out with a new favorite. We'll be back for lunch. We'll be back for dinner. And yes, Taco Tuesday, we'll absolutely be back for that.

This was a great spot for dinner. The drinks were also delicious…read more I see that the restaurant had mixed reviews but honestly, our group of 4 all enjoyed our meal. It was a perfect date night! I ordered the mole enchiladas and they did not disappoint. The margaritas were tasty and the warm chips and salsa tasted amazing too. We spoke to the owner on the way out, as he thanked us for being there. And also let us know they also do brunch! Looking forward to coming back.

It is next to a gas station. It looks like a pretty popular place during the lunch hour. It's a smaller place inside, but they do have an outdoor patio. We were able to find a small table, not too far from the front counter. Ordering at the front was easy. The staff was friendly and quick. We could see the cook grilling up the meats as we placed our order. There were at least five different salsas to choose from as well as cucumbers and a chili oil at the self-serve salsa bar. I noticed a customer in front of us ordered a kids plate which included two street tacos and rice and beans. That's what I ended up ordering with Carne Asada and chorizo. There were four or five proteins to choose from for the kids plate. I loved the grilled meats with the char flavor. It was delicious! Everything was well seasoned. I wish I would've ordered a third or maybe even a fourth taco because it was that good! I will definitely come back many times and it's going to be on our lunch rotation for sure.

Love their grilled shrimp tacos and regular taco. Good flavor. Their chorizo burrito in the other…read morehand is just ok however, the size of the burrito is huge which is nice. If I were to come again I would just get multiple regular tacos due to the cost to taste ratio compare the shrimp.
