Amazing tostada mixta
Cynthia N.

Loved the tostada mixta we also had empanadas but didn't get to take a picture. Definitely coming back for more.

Cocktel mixta

Pretty good stuff, had the tostada mixta which was a plate for two people. The fish tacos were extra crispy on outside and moist on the inside. We will be back!!

I'm usually skeptical about places like this but after underestimating the Chinese food next door I thought why the hell not... I ordered 4 mixed tostadas to go and they packed it up perfect. With tostadas on the side cute orange slice twist on top. I was a satisfied catholic. I'm eager to try other items there is this window I saw there fish window with crab legs, shrimp, oysters, lobster etc... I asked for a menu to go but that was a no go... this is better to eat to go not much room inside very small.

This was going to be a big order for 6 people. The first thing I did when the lady answered I asked "it's going to be a big order is that okay" and the lady said yes. My total came out to $205. The lady then said she was not going to be able to place the order because it was over $150. I had to show up and place it in person. Unfortunately, they have had people place big orders and they don't pick them up. I understand completely, I offered to give my card so they could charge it but the lady said she could not do that. This was all very unfortunate, I don't have time to show up to the restaurant, place my order and wait another 45 minutes for it to be ready. The restaurant called back saying they spoke with the owner and they were going to be able to process my payment over the phone. Ugh it was too late, I had already placed the order with another restaurant. I hope the owner sees this and comes up with a different strategy to be able to process big ordered over the phone. Or at least tell us before ordering if the phone order is over $150, it has to be placed it person and can not be placed over the phone.

I can't believe I've lived in Sylmar for almost 6 years and somehow never noticed this little gem!…read more From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've escaped to a little beach town in Mexico. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and exactly where you want to be on a hot summer day. The seafood was incredibly fresh and refreshing. I ordered the campechana kora, and my husband had the Aguachiles, both were absolutely delicious and perfect for the heat. What really made the experience special was the staff. They were so kind, patient, and welcoming. My husband has been practicing his Spanish, and instead of making him feel self-conscious, they were incredibly encouraging and sweet with him. It made the whole meal feel even more authentic and enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and an atmosphere that makes you forget you're just minutes from home. I can't believe it took me this long to find Ceviches, but it definitely won't be six years before my next visit!

I was looking for highly rated seafood restaurants on Yelp, and this restaurant was on the list…read more After reading the reviews, I got excited to give it a try. Parking was easy to find, which was a plus. The ambiance was casual, relaxed, and family-friendly. They have multiple TVs throughout the restaurant, and during my visit, they were showing a soccer game. I always like it when a restaurant broadcasts sporting events, even if it means the place sometimes gets very packed. I was really looking forward to trying their shrimp ceviche, but to my disappointment, they had run out by the time I arrived. I decided to go with my backup option instead: the camarones a la diabla. Camarones a la diabla is a dish consisting of shrimp cooked in a spicy red chile sauce. This restaurant also serves it with rice, toast, and a side of vegetables. As the name suggests, the shrimp are supposed to be spicy. As a spice enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for the best spicy dishes. The shrimp were cooked well, but they had a sweet taste. It almost seemed as if they had used ketchup in the sauce to tone down the heat. I'm honestly not a fan of mixing sweet with spicy, at least when it comes to protein. The vegetables that came with the dish were soggy and flavorless. The rice was okay but could have been better. The toast was pretty good, it was buttery, garlicky, and crispy. Overall, this dish wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best. The service during my visit was good. My server was attentive and helpful. He frequently stopped by to check if everything was okay. Overall, this experience didn't turn out exactly as I had expected, but it wasn't a bad experience by any means. I might return one day to try their shrimp ceviche. Ratings: Camarones a la diabla - 3/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Service - 4/5

My boyfriend and I came to eat Friday night at 7pm. The service, food and ambiance were great…read more 1. I had peeled shrimp and mussels at medium spice. Their sauce is delicious. Comparing it to drunken, the actual seasoning isn't visible but the taste is there. 2. All servers were quick and happy to great you. Any questions about the menu were easily answered. 3. Ambiance is great. Plenty of seating with tvs by the bar to watch games. There were families with infants who had plenty of space for strollers and high chairs. Perks: plenty of appetizers to choose from. The ice cream and fried Oreo at the end was delicious. The hand washing station is a plus. I would've taken a pic of the food but I forgot, too busy eating. 10/10 recommend

I really love coming to eat here! The service is always great, even when they are short staffed…read more It's so much better than some of the bigger seafood boil restaurants. We started off with some oysters which are $2.50 each and wow, they were huge and fresh! So delicious, they weren't stingy with the limes either. We also got the shrimp lovers combo, which is a pound of shrimp, clams and mussels + 2 corn, 4 potatoes and 8 sausage. So yummy and totally worth the price! It was rough for two people to share on my opinion. They also give you little fried Oreo with ice cream at the end of your meal. So delicious! The place itself it super family friendly but they do have a bar area and happy hour drinks during the week. I'd definitely recommend!

I cannot comment on their seafood specifically as I don't indulge much, but I see others getting full plates of seafood so I guess it must be good. They also offer crackers for your seafood, to crack the shells open. They have so many food options, there's something for everyone. I would recommend this buffet. Large, shared parking lot. There's always parking.

There was some lobster mush that was probably left over from the night before. The lobster was DISGUSTING, they did not have to worry about anyone eating too much of that LOL. There were also some very large prawns that were also cooked to a mushy state, no good at all. But-there is a great deal of good, not great food that is available to eat. There was even a BOBA bar where you can make your own BOBA drinks. There is a 10% service fee, signs are informing customers of this. But they still expect tips. Service was OK I may come back again, but this is not a place I would choose. It is so fucking messy there needs to be a roll of paper towels on the table and covid type antiseptic spray. The food is messy, not the restaurant.
