    Service was great and offered suggestions. Cute clean place, love the outdoor seating. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Everything we had was flavorful and fresh. Best burrito that I've ever had!!! Ceviche was perfect.

    My favorite new spot for fish tacos. Yesterday I got the grilled mahi taco today I did the regular fried fish tacos and potato hardshell taco. All were delicious and fresh, so glad I found this place!

    Surf and Turf burrito to go, served cut in half. Not a small burrito...

    It's not that I did not enjoy my food here, but it just seems a bit steep for what you get: Fish ceviche - pretty good, not amazing, does hit the spot when I have a craving for ceviche. Surf and turf burrito - This is not bad at all, but is basically a straight up carne asada and shrimp burrito. It is fairly large, and it better be for $20. While I enjoyed it, I would not get it again because it is sort of a novelty. I'm going to round up to 4 stars because everything is alright, but there are a few places in the vicinity I would prefer for slightly pricey Mexican food.

    Always on the hunt for new fish taco spots and this one is near the top. Love the freshness of their salsas and tacos and the batter on the fish is not too thick. They have a condiment bar where you can get raw onions and peppers which I think is a must. They have battered or grilled options and I got the fish, shrimp, and a combo that has both fish and shrimp in one taco. I do prefer the fried fish over grilled but grilled is also good on certain occasions. Very fast and friendly service and a very casual ambiance. They take your order at the front and you find a table and grab your own condiments. Great lunch spot for a quick meal

    I came in for a quick bite to eat on a Friday evening. As I walked in, I was greeted and asked if I'm ready to order. I took a couple minutes as I glanced at the menu. Luckily, the place was not packed and I had my food in minutes. 2 Carne Asada Tacos 2 Baja tacos The Carne Asada was so juicy, and the tortilla was a perfect size (Parentheses it wasn't the little small tortillas) The Baja taco had shrimp in it as well as swine fish, as well as a big tortilla that was pretty close to looking like a burrito (delicious) Order came with an orange spicy Chile sauce that was perfect and not too too hot! This was my first time trying this place. The inside was nice and welcoming. Staff was great and attainable and I look forward to coming back again.

    The battered fish tacos are really hefty here. I came here for fish taco Wednesday and the two fish tacos was $5.98, so about $2.99 per fish taco. Prices have increased for this deal but still a really great value and you can definitely get full off of two fish tacos. The whole taco needed more sour cream and salt in general but the lemon, onions and plentiful hot sauce options at their tables helped a lot! The condiment bar was standard and the pickled onions were nice and spicy, the lemons were juicy and big. Would definitely return if I'm in the area and craving a fish taco. Service: Very quick and efficient, had my tacos within 5 minutes. Ambience: Casual seating and chill vibes. Restroom: They have one, not sure of the state of it since I stopped by for a quick lunch. Parking: They share a lot with multiple businesses, wasn't too hard to find a spot on a Wednesday afternoon.

    Battered fish taco

    Great spot to stop at after arriving at LAX. We got a couple of their Battered Fish Tacos. They came with cabbage, pico de gallo, cream and salsa. They're farily priced for $4.25 but just a tad bit small. The fish was cooked perfectly, but the tortilla got a little soggy to quickly. The staff was friendly, but they didn't hear me when I told them I wanted to dine in. So by placing my tacos in a to go container, it will mess with the crispness of the fish taco as well as making the tortilla soggier. The tacos would have definitely tasted better if they were never placed in that container, and then having to wait again to get them on a plate. Will definitely be returning though. A quick side note, the tajin type of spices they put on their chile heueros is brilliant. Definitely going to have to do that at home.

    Really flavorful fish bowl! Good value for lunch too. I assume most locations are good, but really enjoyed the one in El Segundo.

    The food doesn't deserve anything over 3*. The rice and beans are not good. Fish is okay.

    Went by today, Sunday, says it's supposed to be open but it was closed at 2:25 pm. So have they closed?

    They randomly close early & have hours with nothing like those posted. Plus they aren't good about picking up the phone to inform you of what is going on in this regard.

    Is this place closed?

    Absolutely Amazing -- A Hidden Gem!…read more Everyone needs to try this amazing restaurant! I honestly went in with very low expectations. After visiting several restaurants lately that were so uneventful they weren't even worth writing about, I assumed this little bar-café-style restaurant would have fairly ordinary, subpar food. I couldn't have been more wrong! We were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary, and I wanted to try something different. From the moment we started eating, I was blown away. The quality of the food was exceptional--honestly, better than many Michelin-starred restaurants I've been to. We started with oysters, followed by the scallops and then the crab cake. Every single dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Even the fries impressed me--and I normally hate fries! They had this incredible rosemary-and-truffle-style seasoning that made them completely addictive. My husband ordered the sea bass with romesco sauce, and I ordered the seafood risotto. Both were phenomenal. The flavors, freshness, presentation, and overall quality were outstanding. And here's the best part: we had absolutely no leftovers! That should tell you everything. I've been to some very well-known restaurants, including Gordon Ramsay's restaurants, and honestly, this place impressed me more. Gordon Ramsay doesn't even make my personal top five, but this restaurant absolutely does. It was one of those meals where you just stop eating for a moment, take a breath, and think, Wow... this is really, really good. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. The food was elevated, memorable, and worth every single penny. This is definitely going on my top five restaurants of all time. What a wonderful surprise and an unforgettable way to celebrate our 28th anniversary! Thank you to the greatest bartender / server!

    Love love love every bite and sip that we had at this place. Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth it?…read moreYes. Banhattan - yummy manhattan (strong) with a sweet hint of banana. I only needed this one drink at lunch. Oysters from Baja - so good and fresh Koishi... rice. Tasty and hard to describe how delicious this was and unique. Soft shell crab with Singaporean noodles - spicy and delicious. This was a seasonal special. Key lime dessert - a must for everyone no matter if you are stuffed. This dessert topped off a wonderful meal and was worth every penny. Hands down, best dessert that I've eaten in a long time. Overall, this place is top notch and I will come again when I'm back in town and bring friends.

    I came across some photos on my social media from when I visited The Strand House in Manhattan…read moreBeach on August 30th, 2020. Located right by the beach, the restaurant has an absolutely amazing ocean view. I remember having brunch there, and everything we ordered was delicious. I also remember the service being very friendly and welcoming. Today, a friend mentioned that she had been there, and it suddenly brought back memories of my own visit. So I went searching through my old photos and found these. Manhattan Beach used to be one of my favorite places to visit, and I went there quite often back then. Looking at these photos makes me want to go back again soon.

    We were greeted by Jason (came to find out, he's the manager). Curt, abrupt, not very personable…read more He seated us...next to numerous open tables. We requested a booth right behind us. We were told it was not available...that they had reservations already set. As a side note, I too had made a reservation. Marina was our server...difficult to pin down exactly how I felt about her. Nice, but not super nice. I felt like we were a chore. The whole reason for my review is the bussing staff...THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE! Each and every one of them were personable, had the biggest smiles, and were genuinely caring people. They joked with us and made the whole experience worth it. The food was delicious. The ambiance is a bit too uppity for me. Great place to grab a drink...the bar is lovely and the servers were great. Back to Jason and "the table". Two booth tables sat empty the entire two hours we were there. My first time dining there...not in a hurry to return.

The bad: the food/order pick-up system for items that need to be grilled/fried is chaotic. You're given a number to pick up your order by the cashier and directed to the pick up window. There is someone assigned to the grill area and a different person handles the side dishes. There does not appear to be any system of communication between the two areas such that the protein is held under the heat lamp area until the other person adds the side dish (fries, coleslaw, etc) to complete the order. To make things even more chaotic, the staff does not consistently call out numbers when to food is ready for pickup. Instead, the customers crowd the pick up area calling out their own order numbers to see if it's ready. The staff is nice and they seem to try their best overall, but their current system needs to be improved.
