Tanto tiempo queriendo probar este lugar y por fin ahora tocó. La combinación culichi con machaca huevo y frijol estuvo bien rico con las tortillas. Lo que era pésimo es que se duró media hora para que me traigan la soda y la agua que ordene con un hielo flotando como si estuviera esperando que alguien me lo traiga por tiempo. Se me hace fatal que un restaurante corra la operación con el servicio tan pésimo. read more

Came here on a Sunday at 1:45ish to grab some lunch mind you its 3 if us and it was not that busy for a typical Sunday. The wait itself was not bad at all. A 5min wait, we sit down and a couple are seated after us and automatically have their order for drinks taken. I call a worker that passes by to let them know and they tell me that we have a different server and calls her. When the server comes over she has an attitude taking out order. I will admit I was a bit snappy for the negligence but I should've know it was down hill from there. They take what seemed like forever to bring our drinks ( at least a 10min wait) and waited another 20 min for what we were hoping was our food. After that 20 min wait the whole situation was so upsetting so we just up and left. A whole 30 min of just waiting, which again didn't think was an issue because we were sat so fast. Don't bother your time or money. The worst experience in general read more

The food was OK just the B grade they have inside the establishment doesn't make the food look better or taste better, wish they can upgrade to a A grade that will make everything better. read more

Honestly I enjoyed the food here regardless of all the negative rating and about the service , I came in here with the fam and they all enjoyed their food as well( camarones à la diabla, tostadas de pollo, enchiladas de pollo, burrito de chorizo, sopes de pollo, camarones a la plancha) read more

Horrible food poisoning from the fish ceviche We have been sick and only drinking fluids for approximately 36 hours since we left on Sunday night . I called to make them aware of what happened and also told them that we were not calling to ask for money back or any discounts in the future as we won't ever be coming back. If you look at the kitchen area back door is open leading to the parking lot exposed to who knows what? read more

Being from Sinaloa, I came in with high hopes for this spot, but unfortunately, it was a letdown. The food itself was very bland and it took quite a while to come out--even though we only ordered asado and gorditas, which shouldn't take too long. What made it more frustrating is that the waitresses never acknowledged the delay or offered an apology. When we asked about our food, the response felt a bit dismissive. This hasn't been my first visit, and to be honest, the service has always been a weak point. The staff often seem more focused on chatting with each other than checking in on customers, which makes the atmosphere feel unwelcoming. Cleanliness was another issue. The bathrooms really needed attention--there were no paper towels in the dispenser, the trash was overflowing, and the back of the toilet seat had hair and scraps of paper. Since it wasn't busy at the time, I would have expected things to be tidied up. Overall, I wanted to love this place, but between the slow service, lack of care from the staff, and the cleanliness, it just doesn't feel very professional or inviting. read more

This place serves decent overpriced food, but they have horrible customer service. We went there recently and got Mariana as waitress, she is clearly in the wrong job, she is very rude and so unpleasant to deal with. Definitely not going back. read more

I ordered to go and there was a fly buzzing inside the to go container. I had ordered a side of avocado and left it when I came to return the food and the waitress refused to give me a full refund after I had to drive back to return the food. I will never order from this place again. Customer service is the worse. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel others deserve a heads-up. We came to this restaurant for my grandmother's birthday breakfast celebration. We walked in and asked if they could accommodate a large party of 16. After being told it wouldn't be a problem--and that we'd just need to wait a bit for tables to open up--we were happy to wait. But from the moment we were seated, it became clear we were more of a burden than a welcomed group. That should've been our sign to leave. The service was cold and dismissive from the start. No warm greeting, no basic hospitality--unless we went out of our way to flag someone down. At one point, when we politely asked a server for water and to take our menus, she rolled her eyes and acted like we were asking for too much. It was uncomfortable and honestly, a little embarrassing. On top of that, the menu didn't have prices listed anywhere. I'm sorry, but that's not elegant--it's misleading. You're essentially asking people to order blindly and just hope they don't get stuck with an outrageous bill. It felt more like a trap than a premium experience. This restaurant was quick to take our money, but at no point did we feel like valued customers. If you're planning a special occasion--or coming with a group--take this as your sign to go somewhere else, where your presence is actually appreciated. read more

Laura is the best. The ceviche and empanadas are memorable! Best I've had in Los Angeles!

today I was in Paramount for work when I was craving some Mexican food so I found this place on yelp. it was very busy, but the wait was not long at all maybe a few minutes. The servers were so nice and the ambience was really cool. I ordered a few things and they were all good. My favorite one was the Carne Asada plate. The meat is so tender and juicy OMG. If you guys are in the area of Paramount, this place is a must. read more

Walked in, was told to sit wherever and sat there waiting for a while for someone to approach. We got no menus, no instructions, nothing. The waitress was talking to the only table there when we arrived and acted like we didn't exist. Never again. read more

dont eat the fish taco and ceviche. my parents got sick and have been throwing up for days. please do not eat the fish tacos and ceviche.

The food was mediocre, They burned my asadera and the shrimp cocktail was too salty. The waitress that we had, Mariana was completely rude. She was rushing us telling us to either order or she's gonna leave to serve another table. The interior isn't anything special and they have extremely loud music blaring, cancelling out any attempts of calmly ordering. read more

Machaca is the best! Homemade tortillas and great horchata. Only issue is they don't do DoorDash on Sundays... or I would order lol.

Wow. Laughable experience. Fair warning this is my most negative review yet. Reviews say 'food is good, service is bad' - not true, 'food is terrible, service is awful!' Serviced us the fishiest shrimp I've ever had, we didn't end up eating it, most likely it was off. Fish ceviche was just sad, kids got chicken tacos that were so salty. Everything we had was just laughably terrible. We left all the food on the table and went to the panadería across the street. I couldn't believe how bad the food was, just disgusting. And the staff, they didn't care at all, didn't ask why we didn't touch the food. Just gave us our $80 check, we paid, they only accept tips in cash? Didn't have cash, So we just didn't tip. How is this place in business, we felt like we were being punk'd. I could go on and on, just terrible. read more

Hello there, I'm proceeding to make an effort and put together a goal to vlog about my eating experiences. For everyone here on Yelp at least once a week. Perhaps that will knock down all the bookmarks that I have, (maybe) lol. And well at least share some information about the places I have been to help the community. Enough about myself, this spot has incredible food. The service can come across as a tad unhurried, I felt this was due to the high volume of customers in the restaurant which is understandable. I have never experienced eating inside just order over the phone, then pick up, and let's go!! While waiting for my order (sometimes), the ambiance around the restaurant seems lively and busy, with a lot of moving pieces. I would give this a 4/5 just due to my experience with food and services. However, I would recommend it to you if it is already something you are reviewing and looking at. read more

La comida excelente!! Todo lo que pedí menudo , botana de máriscos, sopes todo delicioso.

El Sinaloense exceeded my expectations this morning. My husband and I stopped in for breakfast. We had chilaquiles con huevos y salsa verde and machaca con verduras y huevo. The chilaquiles were perfectly spiced to my surprise. I like spicy & these did not disappoint. The green salsa was perfect. My machaca was also juicy, flavorful, and not greasy. It tasted very similar to my mother's Sinaloa style homemade machaca. Beans and rice were also fresh. The salsa on the side, for flavor, not at all spicy is the perfect staple salsa to go with any traditional Sinaloense meal. Prices are reasonable for quality and portion, averaging $11 a plate. Service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive, and food came out fairly quickly. I am very pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Paramount's downtown strip. I will be bringing more family and friends along in the future. read more

I've been to this restaurant several times, and each time I went, I had a negative experience with the manager.. Sadly, the delicious food of the restaurant were eclipsed by the unpleasant actions of the management. The food is good but not good enough to be be dealing with a manager that's rude and dismissive towards me and other customers. The restaurant is obviously empty when you arrive, and you have to wait an absurd amount of time to be seated. I have no choice but to stop visiting this place due to the poor management. read more

I was a bit reluctant to try this place out because of the low reviews but I ended up really loving the food! I tried the Aguachiles verdes and the sopes and was not disappointed at all! The level of spiciness and the texture of both plates was also perfect! The service was not as bad as everybody made it seem, at least in my experience, but they were definitely slow. As for the ambience, I really enjoyed it because it was just everybody enjoying their food with their family or friends. Overall definitely recommend it! read more

Really bad experience wait to be seat and long time wait for the food to be served plus a charge for a parking

Waitress had attitude from the start. She didn't even give us the chips but she did to the rest of the tables. Once we order it took 40 mins for our food to come out. The food was cold and the flavor was okay. The place was kinda empty so there was no reason for them to have taken so long or given us cold food. We won't be returning. read more

If I can give zero stars, I would. I swear it is always an awful experience here not only for myself, but friends and family members as well. Finally calling it quits and never going here again gave the customer service plenty of opportunities, but they really treat you like crap here especially the manager, which is an older lady with darker hair. She's the worst And is so rude would definitely not recommend this place ever again to anyone. This lady needs to take classes or they need to get rid of her. I know many people who have walked out before even getting to order because of how rude and uncomfortable she makes you feel. Sucks because food is good but not worth it with that service. read more
