Fish tacos
Joanne C.

I come here whenever I'm in the mood for a good fish taco. The standard one comes with fried fish, cabbage, pico de gallo, and drizzled with white sauce. I enjoy the shrimp ceviche has well. The portions are good and the service as good well. Make sure to stop by the condiment display to pack some chili peppers and pickled veggies to go with your meal.

3/28/26. Mixto Ceviche Tostada, shared with family
Jennifer W.

3/28/26. Hey, dad was hankering for this place & bugged my brother to take him. (Tacos San Pedro was their usual spot). Hubby & I went along for the ride. Dad treated!!! SCORE! This is a very rare occasion so I made sure I savored this. He also got me breakfast earlier. I'm saying that this is an absolute miracle. This restaurant has both indoor & outdoor seating. You order at the counter, pay & your number is called out for you to pick up your food. It's fairly clean, we stayed a bit outdoors & didn't see anyone wipe tables after each customer, so there's that. Staff is cordial, not the friendliest bunch but just not rude. Will this be the reason that I will NOT continue to patronize this place? Yes. That's a deal breaker, especially if the food is not exceedingly phenomenal. Dedicated free parking, steady influx of customers rolling in & out. Our order's turnaround time is pretty fast because the ceviche is already made & all they have to do is scoop some into a plate. Done. There's pickled onions, grilled yellow & jalapeño peppers, sliced lemons for customers to do self-serve at the front counter near the cashier. Soda fountain (Pepsi products ) also self-serve. The nephews got quesadillas, dad got a huge shrimp burrito, mom got fish tacos, the rest of us got ceviches & tostadas. Truthfully, the ceviche was good but a bit on the bland side, added lemon & some of the (in bottles) hot sauces to give it more flavor. Gotta admit, the portions are pretty big. As pictured, my mixto ceviche tostada was $15.99, it could've easily fed two people (we all ate some). This needed more zing. Overall, fair experience. Seating is first come first served. Had to secure seating when Hubby & I got there first.

The ceviche was definitely the fan favorite. Portions are decent so our tummies were full and happy. They provide an array of hot sauces to enjoy with your meal as well. Service was okay, they were quite busy in the evening so seating may be limited. It's a small area so parking was very limited.

Scammed on shrimp tacos

SCAMMED! I ordered 5 GRILLED shrimp tacos. In the photo you can see that the batter makes up half the tray, 1 taco has 2 tiny shrimp in it after I removed all the breading. Totally not worth it for close to 40$.

Once again, I forgot to take some pictures, however let me just say, this place is worthy of the five stars given! Food came out fast and is pretty crowded. Parking lot can be tricky, but seems to move decently. There is outside seating, five tables on a small patio, enough for 20-25 people I'm guessing. Inside, there are several more places to sit. Service is good, friendly. I ordered potato and carne asada tacos, both were fantastic and hard to say which one was better. It solely depends on what you prefer I suppose. There's enough lettuce and tomatoes and sour cream on top and the salsa is really good, mildly hot for the green. They have a lot of good reviews here and I can see why.

Combo #1 (2 Fish Tacos)
Joel S.

This has been a favorite place for quite sometime now and first time actually trying their fish tacos. Big size tacos with a side of rice and beans, so good! You can get in a combo with a drink. Prices here are very reasonable. They also have good fish n chips here as well, big portion size! Right off the 71 freeway but definitely a hidden gem! Great service and food comes out quick!

Grilled Fish Taco and Grilled Shrimp Taco burrito
Britney M.

Grilled Fish Taco 9/10 A great taco. You get a huge piece of fish. Lots of toppings too. I ordered with no crema. It was hearty and good. Grilled Shrimp Taco 10/10 This was my favorite! The batter and fried shrimp was delicious! It came with tomatoes, onion, cilantro and cabbage. I ordered no crema. It was so good! I would order that again. Potato hard shell taco 10/10 Loved the potato taco! It was a good size. Great value. It came with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and potato. It was really tasty. I would order this again. It was probably my favorite. Ensenada Burrito 10/10 My husband got the Ensenada burrito. He loved it! And it was HUGE! The burrito was the size of his forearm. No joke lol He said it was the best burrito he has ever had. And he loves his burritos. He got asada and shrimp inside his. Service was good. They made out food pretty quick. The food was all fresh. Ambiance was busy inside. It was kind of warm inside the shop. The seats are not comfortable. The chairs are metal chairs, and it killed my tailbone. If you can grab them to-go, I would. I just don't know how they would travel.

Combo ceviche and cotel de camaron
isaac d.

places is amazing really good shrimp cocktails and the ceviche was awesome. Highly recommend this place.

Half of the Grilled Mahi Burrito
Diane W.

Didn't realize when I was looking at the map that this place is the same business as the one in Redondo/ Lawndale where I used to live. Great menu, great prices, great food. My husband and I shared the tostada de ceviche Minto, a HUGE portion of delicious ceviche that was light and filling. I was so excited that we were here that I should have stopped ordering...but my husband also ordered the mahi burrito. That was also huge, loaded with fish and very fresh. We also ordered a grilled mahi taco, which was yummy. Many leftovers went to our friend who dined with us as we were going to the Angels game that night. Bottom line: you can't go wrong with anything you order. Consistent quality --and quantity-- at least at the two I've gone to.

Fish Tacos meal
Chris K.

Trusted the Yelp reviews and they did not disappoint, these tacos were legit! Huge thanks to the Yelp community for leading me to some seriously good eats. I ordered the fish taco plate, which comes with two tacos (your choice of fried or grilled), rice, beans, and a drink. I went with the fried fish, perfectly crispy, super flavorful, and just the right portion. I left satisfied but not overly full. The toppings added a great balance of freshness and texture. It was busy on a Friday afternoon, and there weren't any open tables when we arrived, but we lucked out and grabbed one just as someone was leaving. There's no outdoor seating. Definitely a spot I'd return to. Solid food, good value, and worth the visit if you're craving tacos.

Specials
Dar O.

Came here again for their fish tacos, which are excellent! Tuesdays is the day to get them for the special, but we came in on Monday because I was craving them. Another person in our party got the Baja's Burrito, and it was huge! Healthy portion of shrimp & fish and everything else. If you can finish the whole thing on your own, I applauded you! Just adding to my previous review. This place is great.

See all
