The customer service was good, but not these prices! They literally charge for everything. We asked for more chips and they wanted to charge. Same goes for a side of sour cream and substitutes for rice and beans. But they still charged me for the full plate and the substitutes even if they took the rice and beans off. Been coming here for a while but wont be back anytime soon. The food is also just ok for it being this pricey. read more

We wanted to try this place.. (My friend suggested it to me) We never had the chance. But last week, I was meeting another friend and I suggested this place. The place is very clean and trendy. They have happy hour as well. Their menu "looks" so tasty and delicious. They start you off with chips and salsa. Waitress was very friendly but kind of slow and very forgetful. :-( I tried their fajitas and my friend had a wet burrito. The fajitas were a bit overcooked and need more flavoring. The wet burrito was tasty. It's kind of noisy with the mariachi/ Trio band playing. Nice Spanish ambiance. I will have to try their other dishes to comment more.... but since my fajitas didn't leave a very delicious taste in my tastes buds, I just have to say ehhhh.. OK. read more

I feel like a I have a love hate relationship with this place. Been here a handful of times and have a different experience every time. This last time, had a wonderful experience. Food was excellent. Before then, they gave me a FROZEN chile relleno!!!! Double-U-Tee-Eff. $5.00 happy hour margaritas, are on point though. Will come back unless they keep giving me frozen food, until then. mango margaritas. Fo. Sho. read more

Given them enough business to leave a review now. Went during the week to have lunch with a friend, service was horrible had to get up and ask for everything we needed because the waitress never came to check on us. Went on a Friday for after work drinks and a Dodger game with coworkers and a drunk guy was being loud and annoying with people waiting and no one kicked him out. Let him bring in and drink his tall can while he waited for a table too. Lol Overall I guess the food is decent, but over priced. Can't complain about the drinks except very few on draft options. Service is mediocre at best, depending who your sever may be or how understaffed they are when you go. At least they have outdoor seating with covid now, but on a Friday or Weekend expect to wait a while. read more

Somewhat overrated this place, the salsa which they bring out with the chips is a travesty, it straight out taste like tomato sauce, no spice at all, bring your own chiles! The food is a straight hit or miss, depending on what you get it's either terrible or delicious, the service is slow and the pricing is just too high for the quality of the food that's being brought out, I'm sure I wouldn't come here again, there's a crowd here and they're here to party it looks like, if you're here for that then this place seems like the place to be, other than that I'm going to say that there's a lot of competition out there and they've got some catching up to do! Sorry, just my honest review . read more

The five stars are for the costumer service. They are super attentive. Nice. And great vibes! The food is good. We got the aguachiles. Big molcajete guac and tacos. My mother in law got the pescado al mojo de ajo and she said it was absolutely delicious! We celebrated my fiancés birthday and they brought out a little desert for him and they sang to him. It was very special and sweet of them. I also came once for my birthday and it was sooo lovely! Can't wait to be back! read more

Finally had time to try this place out. It was about 5:30pm on a Saturday, making it early enough to be seated right away. Our server, Araceli, was the best! She greeted us at our table along with chops and salsa. She even took time to point out the popular dishes since it was our first time, and frequently came over to inquire how we were doing. We ordered the Shrimp Cocktail, Ceviche de Pescado, and the Camarones al Pescador. The Shrimp Cocktail and Ceviche de Peacado were awesome and highly recommend! The Camarones al Pescador was alright, and would probably order something else next time we visit. Overall the restaurant had a nice ambiance and was clean with a cool bar area that a good amount of people were watching a football game. Will definitely return to try more food, and to have the Shrimp Cocktail and Ceviche de Pescado. read more

I hate playing the race card but, the service was terrible. My wife and I- a black couple- arrived around happy hour when it wasn't so pack. We sat down in the bar area and was not attended to for at least 15 minutes. As we sat there some Hispanic Women showed up ordered, received their food, and drinks before we could even order. Not only that, we received no water, napkins, nor did the waiter check on us after receiving our food. After we ate, we sat there for 20 minutes waiting on our check... not cool! If I could give negative stars I would. I'm never going back!!! BLACK FOLKS BEWARE!!!! read more

Service is good. Music is good. Just don't get the oysters, my family got food poisoning!

The hostess at the front with the glasses, thinning hair, and the small mole on her chin is the most terrible person I have ever interacted with. She loves to raise her voice at customers it definitely seems like getting people a table gives her some sort of power trip. She's way too young to be so angry. Beside her everything else was great manger is kind and the wait staff is welcoming and attentive. read more

I am a out of towner, I was told about this place by a family member, we met up for a dinner & drinks. Great food selection, surf & turf, waiter did a good job. Tables might be a little too close to each other, but it worked out. And on the weekends, they have a mariachi's preforming, and they were excellent. read more

Arrived when there was only one other table in our section. Eventually it got full, they served other tables that came in later. I got up to go speak to the manager and finally got our food about an hr later. The food was good but my enchilada was cold in the middle. Wouldn't recommend this specific location. read more

Really recommend it's good the staff kind nice the food and drinks are good I like the pescado frito

We came to watch a game and nosh. I've been coming here for years. The food is consistent and tasty. Nothing too out of the ordinary. They have seafood options. The service is good. I've never had a rude server. It can get a bit loud but it's more of a sports bar restaurant. It's kid friendly in the sense that they don't mind if your kids are talking loudly since the music or TVs are running in the background. Good for lunch and dinner. read more

I hate to give bad reviews but honestly the service was horrible I ordered ahead of time so my food could be ready for pick up. I went for my pick up after an hour and it was not ready! The employees didn't greet me and saw me standing there for almost 20 and none of them took the time to say that I would be helped. It took three people to figure out my order. Honestly I will not order from this place again! read more

So bomb that I couldn't finish my plate! It is a bit pricey, but it's so good too! They have a really nice bar with TVs for you sport dudes. Saw some hot little shortys just in case you boys wanna come holla lmfao hahaha no for real though saw some good looking woman up in there drinking at 5 pm today. The waitress was okay, she could have smiled a way more but she was on point with taking our order, making sure our food was right, bringing the right dishes, and bringing our check on time. She was on point! The atmosphere was good, they were playing Spanish songs that I love lol Overall, I will definitely be back some time. read more

Would definitely recommend this place food was amazing and definitely worth its prices.

If I can give 0 stars I would. HORRIBLE customer service. My parents have gone there to celebrate my moms birthday and the manager and some other staff were so rude and unprofessional! Went last night for my boyfriends birthday and they sent our food to another table and one of the servers kept giving up dirty faces like if it was our fault for him giving our food to the wrong table. Customer service HORRIBLE, never going back and giving this place our money!!! read more

The food here is good, but the service is horrible. I've been here multiple times hoping it was just one servers bad day, but NO, all the servers I've had are not friendly, they hide never yo be seen, even to ask them for a fork or extra napkins. The drinks are all watered down. You will never have a good drink here. The ceviche was good, but the food prices are HIGH and DON'T justify the bad service and watery drinks. Train your staff better. read more

I was really disappointed in the service and quality of food. El Pescador just isn't what it used to be. The hostess had 2 lists and was taking other parties behind us, all to be seated in the bar area, which was also the loudest and had open seating. The wait was 45 minutes for seating 2 people. The table where we were seated was dirty, and the quality of the El Pescador coctel was subpar. The cocktail juice was thick and sweet and didn't seem fresh. Finally, something that I always found strange was that the tip is asked for on your first bill. This Meaning, you are asked to include your tip on your bill, and then your card is charged. I always found that strange. Me decepcionó mucho el servicio y la calidad de la comida. El Pescador ya no es lo que solía ser. La anfitriona tenía 2 listas y estaba tomando y pasando otras personas y grupos detrás de nosotros, toda para solo sentarnos en el área del bar, que también era la más ruidosa y tenía asientos abiertos. La espera fue de 45 minutos para 2 personas. La mesa donde nos sentaron estaba sucia y la calidad del coctel de El Pescador era insatisfactoria. El jugo del cóctel era espeso y dulce y no parecía fresco. Finalmente, algo que siempre me pareció extraño, fue la propina que se pide en tu primera factura. Es decir, se le pide que incluya su propina en su factura, luego se carga su tarjeta. Siempre me pareció extraño. read more

Ok well I'll start with the ambience, i enjoyed it. Watching a meriachi group play music and sing was a lot of fun. The food was average..... My husband and daughter enjoyed their meal more than i did mine. My carne tampiqueña tasted good but the rice as beans were not great at all. I think as the saying goes.... Customer is always right..... The waitress Yesenia was nice but argued with me about what my daughter ordered. Instead of saying she heard incorrect she argued with me even after i told her my daughter does not eat red meat and had ordered chicken. She stood there looking at my daughter's food saying no no she ordered the steak asado...... If I'm telling you she doesn't eat red meat why not just correct it, i didn't make a big deal about it so why continue to argue. That made me irritated and irritated my daughter even more and it was not pleasant to have to ask the waitress for other things because she seemed annoyed after we had her correct her mistake. Chips and salsa were ok, drinks were average( margarita). I'm not sure I'd come back but i believe in second chances. read more

I've been coming here for years. The food is amazing and they give you huge portions. The prices are soo reasonable and the ambiance of the place is always so fun. This particular review is for Angel. Angel was my server and was so sweet from the start. He made sure everything was right, was so attentive, made great recommendations, and was overall so friendly and personable. I felt like he genuinely wanted us to enjoy our visit. He even told us he remembered us coming in years ago and the table we sat at, which made me feel so special and it is the reason I keep coming back here. It's nice to come to an establishment that feels welcoming. I will never stop coming here. I just wish they still had taco Tuesdays because they had the best tacos in town. Make sure you order a margarita!! read more

Why is this place not rated MUCH BETTER? Food is amazing, service is awesome, reasonable prices and very clean.

This place brings bitter sweet memories. Good memories as to my college years attending CSUDH both during my undergrad and graduate years. Drinking at the bar and hanging out with great company during happy hour, this was my go to place. Bad memories because of the service. The waiters are horrible and to be honest, the food is bland and not worth all that money. Let's not forget to mention that the mix drinks are horrible. When it comes to food and service, this is by far the worse El Pescador I have dined at. I've dined at much better El Pescador's than this one. If you can avoid this Pescador, please do. Why do I continue to dine here? Welp, because my friends from college and I after work meet half way and catch up on life. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT COME HERE!! Me and our friends and family were here our bill was about 300-400$ with drinks. This review isn't about the bill or prices. After we were done paying and tipping our waitress a nice 25% tip. We stayed there for about 20-25 minutes after just talking and hanging out before we headed out. The same waitress had the audacity to come and tell us "oh if you're not buying anything else you guys can't just hang around here without buying anything" wait a minute WTF! We just paid damn near 500$ with tip!!!!! No manager was available to speak too. THERES MORE! Then one of their security comes and tells me and my other guy friends that after 8PM we can't wear our Hats inside and that we had to take them off immediately he said it super rudely!! Wait a minute I'm in a family resturant not a fucken night club!!!!!! what you mean we have to take them off?? We left soo disappointed and angry. We would always come here for their food and drinks but say no more! U just lost us as customers. By the way we weren't the only ones that were told that we had to take off our hats there were multiple families that night that had to walk out bc of that! I WISH I COULD GIVE THEM A BIG ZERO NEVER AGAIN WILL U SEE MY MONEY HERE read more

No stars... BEER IS SWITCHED OUT WHEN YOUR NOT LOOKING. I ASKED FOR A MODELO AND I SEEN THE BARTENDER POUR A LITTLE MODELO AND THE REST WAS BUDLIGHT. I tried talking to the waitress and she said our table was wrong and she personally seen the bartender pour it.. (Lies) we asked for bottle and she said she couldn't sale us bottled beer. When the bartender was confronted and we went to the bar to see closer if he poured the modelo there was nothing but foam coming out... he acted like he didn't know what was happening. The MANAGER is a joke... she has no control of her employees and when told what happened she simply said don't tip them. She then later gave me a 8.00 discount for over 8 drinks ordered. read more

I just love this wonderful restaurant, the food is succulent and I recommend all my family and friends to go and enjoy the food, the ambiance, the bar with delicious margaritas. Ask for Monica the Manager, she's the best. I like their location right there by the freeway. well deserved. read more

Food and drinks are decent. Was here in May for Happy Hour and they had a good selection. Came today and was told they got rid of Happy Hour. Got Cazadores ($10 on the menu), but was told it was $12. Agreed to it, but asked for it to be mixed with soda water and come to find out I was charged an extra $2. Liked the drink, but didn't think it was worth $14. I would suggest management to come up with a solid, upfront drink menu with prices. read more

Birthday dinner with four friends, some of whom had been there before; myself and girlfriend had not. As it was a Monday they were not very busy so we were seated immediately, and had good service throughout the night. The usual tortilla chips and salsa were pretty standard. My shrimp (camarones) were okay but nothing special. Others reported the same; good, but lacking in flavor. I would go back to try a different dish, but not in the near future. read more
