Emmalyn C.

First time spur of the moment decision. On our way home from the Citadel Outlets. Craving seafood and found this place on Yelp. Had great reviews. Very busy and people waiting to be seated. Sat in the bar area and served immediately. Our server was amazing. Great service and conversation. Very welcoming and informative. Made some great recommendations. They welcome you with tostadas and salsa. I knew it was going to be a great night. Tostadas were so crunchy and salsa was delicious. Ambiance is fun and festive. Music was good. The manager came to our table to thank us for coming and gave us a card for a free appetizer on our next visit. OMG!!! What a great manager! That's the way to get customers to return and feel so special. The best people work here. Food and service AMAZING!!!

This location does not have parking so look for parking on the street or what other customers did such as myself was parking in the parking lot right next to it at the plaza where Del taco is. When we arrived, the host told us it was gonna be a 30 minute wait at around 7:30 PM on Friday night so she gave us the option to sit at the bar so we did. Right off the bat they serve you chips and salsa, but the chips are tostadas and the salsa was pretty spicy. For an appetizer, we got an order of guacamole which came out to $16.99, which is extremely ridiculous for the price didn't know till afterwards since it didn't have a price on the menu. For the entrée we ordered the Molcajete which also didn't come with a price on the menu, which came out to about to $55 which came with a nice big bone marrow, Asada cooked rare even though we asked for medium, pieces of chicken, three pieces of shrimp wrapped in bacon, nopales, block of cheese, green onions, half an avocado. It also included a side of rice and beans in one order of tortillas we wanted another order of tortillas which came out to an additional $2.99 Overall, the food was flavorful, but the prices were some of these things are ridiculous specifically for the guacamole and the up charge for extra tortillas. The ambiance is nice and modern. They have mostly outdoor seating which looked pretty cozy. Our server was great too and the other staff that attended to us were great as well. If you wanna come somewhere with cool vibes this is the place for you but honestly, I've been to better hole in the walls that offer the same items for fair prices. I would come back to try their other seafood options

Nice restaurant, Friendly Staff, Delicious food!!! The place has a cool vibe, with beach resort style furniture. Came for lunch with a coworker, and we both enjoyed our selections. We had the Tostada Rebelde and the Shrimp tacos. The Nemo drink is a little pricey for what you get but still taste good. Our server Alondra was kind and attentive and the manager Sid was friendly as well and checked on us. Will definitely be back to try out more of the options on the menu.

In the mood for light seafood dinner, thankfully, we got here just in time before it got crazy busy. Seafood tostadas and strawberry margarita were perfect and hit the spot! This is one of our favorite seafood restaurants, which we will always come back to, because the customer service and food are consistent and on point, every time we come!

Mariscos Choix was a good experience overall. The food was flavorful, and just about everything we tried hit the spot. We started with the Aguachile, which had a great balance of lemon and spice, very refreshing and well seasoned. I also ordered the Tacos Sinaloenses, which were simple but good. My favorite taco was the Taco de Mar y Tierra, which really stood out in flavor. The restaurant is pretty big with music playing, giving it a lively vibe. The host and waitstaff were very friendly and welcoming. Parking can be a bit tough, if you can't find street parking nearby, you'll need to park across the street in the shopping center near Del Taco. Overall, a solid spot and a fun atmosphere.

A great birthday celebration I had the fried fish I loved it. My friend had the great idea of asking for gloves! That really made my meal so pleasant nothing worse than fingering a fish. I'll be doing that every time we eat fish now my friends loved the octopus tacos. The fajitas were delicious. There was like eight of us and we were able to all share one order of the churros we had a great time. The service was amazing. Five stars #ValleyDowneyCrewGoVentures.

Finally made it out to this place for a late lunch. Wanting a cold and refreshing meal, mostly ceviche and agua chile type food. No wait for an inside table , multiple outdoor tables but it was still really hot despite fans and open air space. Quick service by waitress, she made sure to ask if it was our first time too; manager came to check on our experience at the end of the meal and made sure to invite us back with a coupon for a complementary agua chile next time. Tried a variety of food: Taco de Marlin and taco mar y tierra (grilled beef and shrimps) - both delicious Agua chile negro is a huge serving of raw peeled and split shrimp over slice cucumbers in a dark marinade that seems soy sauce or Worcestershire based. Very delicious and fresh. I got a camaron ceviche tostada: mixed raw shrimp and cooked shrimp plus lots of onions, crunchy cucumbers in a citrus mix. Complementary whole crisp corn tortillas and salsa, They have a huge size for lemonades and other agua frescas. Live music on evenings.

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night and lucked out with live music. We were a group of five and expected a long wait, but were seated in about 30 minutes. There's a bar area where you can grab a drink while you wait, which helps. We started with the chicharrones de pescado, crispy and a 10/10 with the dipping sauce. The shrimp empanadas were okay. I ordered the tacos de pulpo zarandeados and loved them, the avocado really brought everything together. My cousin had the camarones al mojo de ajo with rice and beans and said they had a nice spicy kick. Modern space, fun crowd, and people singing along to the live music, it was definitely a vibe. The seating area by the live music is very tight but the atmosphere made up for it. Overall the service was great.

Daisy R.

Came in for a late dinner with my friend Ana. She ordered the fajitas mixtas and I ordered the 7 mares. We shared an order of the queso empanadas. The 7 mares was just OK. I don't know what kind of fish they use but it was probably marlin. Not the 7 mares I am used to. Seemed kind of skimpy. The fajitas were asked for medium well and got them medium rare. Empanadas were ok this time around. Nothing special. It was busy for a Friday night. That was expected. The live music was going at what seemed like a privada out back. The service was ok this time. Hoping for a better experience next time. Parking is available on the street people also park across the way in the del taco parking lot

Tried this place out on a Sunday night after seeing all of the reviews on yelp. The ambience was very loud as they had live Banda music, so I couldn't hear conversation with my friend. Our servers name was Andre, he was very friendly and chatty and checked on us a few times and always made sure our water cup was full. We got a Paloma and a lime margarita, the Paloma came out warm after waiting 20 minutes for it. The lime margarita was fake tasting. So I definitely don't recommend the alcoholic beverages here. We ordered two shrimp and steak tacos, and the all seafood tostada. Food was very good. The bill was $83 for two drinks and two entrées. Definitely plan to spend money if you come here. The food was the reason for the four star review because the alcohol was not good.

Monica N.

Nice place, we sat in the front patio, the music wasn't so loud, we actually could have a conversation and the windows were kinda open to get the breeze in. The food was good, although it came in different times, maybe because we had a big group. my fried fish was great. Andre our server was so nice and came by quite often to make sure we were ok. Would definitely come back here, I had not been here since before the remodel.

My first time here. This place was recommended by my bro who has been wanting to try it out. This place did not disappoint. The food is delicious! The drinks are delicious! Fish tacos were excellent. Ceviche is tasty. Shrimp appetizer was full of flavor. I get the feeling that you can order whatever you want and not go wrong with the flavor and quality of the seafood. The service was great! Very welcoming and friendly! Shout out to Rosalinda for making our first time experience great!

Never went to this location honestly, always gone to the one in pico. I ordered for pick up and my tacos came out burnt. Not toasted the tortilla was burnt and it obviously the burnt flavor when I took a bite to see. Very disappointed, called to see if they could exchange them and I never heard a call back. Never will be returning to this location. That's unacceptable. read more

Been here a couple of times now and overall it's okay. They have a very small parking lot with about 6 spaces but there's plenty of parking on the streets. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small in size while the patio area is bigger. The food is good but nothing that truly stands out or leaves you wanting more. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and carne asada tacos. The shrimp cocktail was good but could have used more shrimp. The carne asada tacos were just ok with store bought tortillas and not so flavorful meat. This place is usually packed so I figured their food had to be amazing but I think it's just the live Banda and Mariachi music that draws the crowd. Again, the food is good/ok but not crowd worthy, although the music on the other hand is. It's a cool place to have some drinks on the patio while listening to the music and I think next time I'll do just that and save my appetite for later. read more

I expected a 4 star but there lucky too have 2. Instead of chips and salsa it was tostada chips. I ordered the steak fajitas, it looked good when it came out but meat was hard. Refried beans looks pink? My wife ordered mixed tostada. We didnt expect it too be very spicy. Other items was noted were spicy but not that one. We told the waiter but he did not even offer too try something else! The soda was not coke. Maybe some some knock off. Take from me know what real coke tastes like. But I always wanted to try this place. I guess it will be our last. A manager asked how was everything, as soon as I told him he appeared suprised (guessing wasnt expecting that) he only apologized and scurried away. I do not recommend highly overated! read more

First time customer. After being seated, we were served tostadas and salsa...salsa was a bit spicy but very good. Food and drinks were delicious. I had the Fajitas Mixtas, which includes chicken, fish, shrimp and NY steak. Fajitas are served with rice and beans, and a choice of flour or corn tortillas. Beans were very good, rice was average but fajitas were well-seasoned and very tasty. My husband ordered the Coctel de Camarón, said he enjoyed it. Good portion sizes overall. Visited on a Saturday night, so there was about an hour wait. Didn't seem too long though since we could hear the live music from the outdoor patio. The atmosphere was nice and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. read more

In all honesty, I don't see the hype with this place at all. Every time I drive down firestone and pass this place, it's packed. But I think it's because they have live music. The ceviche de Cameron was bland and the I couldn't tell if the shrimp and cheese tacos were soft or "fried" but they were greasy as hell. Don't even get me started with the service. Our waiter looked like he didn't wanna be there and he had attitude so that killed the vibe. Everyone else had lemons on their table but us. And he wasn't attentive. Lastly, it took them 25 minutes to put some ceviche on two tostadas and cook two tacos. Like really? I'm giving 2 stars cause the micheladas were big and good. But I've had better food from Mariscos trucks . Just saying . read more

This place is usually loud, the food is alright, but what makes it the worst is the lack of respect for following state mandates. No one follows the social distance rules and forget about masks.

Loved it.. Neatly tucked away across from the Del Taco-not much parking so you will have to park on the street. We had the aquachiles, oyster shooters, asada tacos and micheladas.. The seafood was fresh and tasty, as well as nicely presented. The meat was also fresh tasting and flavored well-tortillas yummy! It was the grand opening tonight and my gf was good friends with owner - so extremely packed and under staffed, but I don't think they expected so many people, so no biggie. Servers were friendly and very attentive. There is a small space inside to sit as well as a patio with two TV's and tables with chairs. Only recommendation is to get heat lamps on patio in the future-will definitely be coming back. read more

Nestled in the heart of Downey, my dining experience at Mariscos Choix was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Itzel. From the moment my party and I stepped through the doors, Itzel greeted us with a warm smile and a genuine enthusiasm that set the tone for a delightful evening. Itzel's knowledge of the menu was impressive, effortlessly guiding us through the array of dishes with insightful recommendations tailored to our preferences. Her attention to detail was impeccable; she ensured our glasses were never empty and checked in at perfect intervals without being intrusive. Her professionalism was matched only by her personable demeanor, making us feel not just like patrons, but valued guests. Beyond her exemplary service, the food at Mariscos Choix was a revelation. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's dedication to quality ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. From the tender braised lamb to the delicate seafood risotto, every bite was a celebration of taste. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally inviting, with its stylish decor and soothing atmosphere, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable dining experience. The seamless coordination of the staff, led by Itzel, ensured that every aspect of our evening flowed effortlessly. In conclusion, Itzel's outstanding service elevated our visit to Mariscos Choix from enjoyable to exceptional. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and warm personality are a testament to the high standards of hospitality upheld by this establishment. I wholeheartedly recommend dining at Mariscos Choix and experiencing Itzel's hospitality firsthand. Itzel, thank you for making our evening truly memorable. read more

From the moment I walked into Mariscos Choix, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful modern, clean, and inviting, with just the right mix of elegance and coastal charm. It's the kind of place that feels upscale without being pretentious. Perfect for a casual lunch or a special night out. The customer service was top-tier. Ariana was our waitress she is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they take pride in making sure guests have a great experience and they definitely delivered. Now, let's talk about the food wow. I ordered the tostada de pulpo con camarón, and it was next level. Fresh, perfectly marinated, and bursting with flavor. The octopus and shrimp were tender and seasoned just right, with that perfect balance of citrus and spice. For dessert, the flan de elote was a must-try. Creamy, sweet, and with that unique corn flavor that sets it apart from a traditional flan absolutely delicious and memorable. And don't sleep on the lemonade! Super refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect drink to tie it all together. If you're in or around Downey, Mariscos Choix should be on your list. Great vibes, amazing food, and truly exceptional service. Can't wait to go back! read more

First time visitors and let me tell you, If you're looking for authentic Mexican seafood with bold, fresh flavors, this spot is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the vibrant atmosphere sets the tone for a flavorful experience. The seafood is impressively fresh -- you can taste the quality in every bite. The shrimp ceviche was a standout: zesty, perfectly balanced, and generously portioned. The shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor, topped with crisp cabbage, pico and flavorful mayo that tied it all together. We also tried the tacos governador and they were delicious and the chipotle sauce add the right amount of flavor to it. But the start was the super campechana! It was a burst of bold, fresh flavors that truly captured the essence of coastal Mexican cuisine. The mix of shrimp, octopus, fish, an oysters and more, was perfectly tender and chilled, swimming in a zesty sauce with just the right balance of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive, and the staff clearly take pride in the food they serve. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking to try something new, this restaurant delivers a fantastic fusion of Mexican tradition and coastal freshness. Highly recommended! read more

I want to say that I am beyond impressed by all the staff at Mariscos Choix. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed with a smile. I came in with a party of 4 and was told there was a waitlist to which I didn't mind. A few minutes after my wife asks if we can get some drinks at the bar and they said yes and let me tell you the Nemo was my wife's favorite and Mine was the borracho the presentation and taste is top tier!!! When we finally got the text our table was ready to our surprise Cindy was attending us today and let me tell you she is very genuine. she asked about our engagement and it honestly made us feel like she really cared like if we've been knowing her for years . My brother in law ordered two fish tacos and she asked if we had any peanut allergies (he does) she let us know that the salsa they put on the side contains nuts. There was not 1 staff that didn't come to our table and ask if we needed anything so if you guys are looking for a place with good food,great service,great environment this is the place. Ps: Big shoutout to Managers Erick and Jorge you guys are awesome and if you see this Cindy CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!!! read more

We had such a great experience here, especially thanks to Joel! There was a pretty long wait when we arrived, but he immediately took care of us and made it feel worth it. He helped us get settled at the bar while we waited for a table and was super friendly and welcoming the whole time. We were able to order some drinks with him, and they were honestly so delicious. When a table finally became available, Joel personally walked us over and made sure we were comfortable. He let us know a server would be with us shortly to take our food order, which made everything feel smooth and organized. His positive attitude and great service really made the experience stand out. We truly appreciated how attentive and kind he was! Our server Karlen who took over after Joel was also very attentive and would come check on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, the service truly made our experience stand out. Everyone was kind, attentive, and welcoming. We'll definitely be back! read more

To start off she recommended some new items/dishes and her personal favorites from the menu and to say the least everything had us at a WOW!! To start we had Pata de Mula. When I heard pata de mula I was in a complete shock!! Pata de mula in Downey????? Not a lot of restaurant do but Mariscos choixs is definitely the best pata the mula in the whole county.. Next we had " Tacos de camarón baja y de Pescado baja" waitress personal favorite! So good that we had to get another round. We also had almejas, oysters prepared and natural ones so fresh and delicious. Last but not least Augachiles Negros The flavor, the taste, the spices! Accompanied with a House lemonade best combo. Definitely going to be coming back no doubt. Staff is so attentive... Melissa had us from the start with how she's speaks on the items and on the restaurant.

Outstanding Dining Experience at Mariscos Choix! We had the pleasure of visiting Mariscos Choix a few months ago during our trip from Houston, and it exceeded all our expectations! Our experience was made even more remarkable by the incredible service provided by our waitress, Itzel. She was attentive, friendly, and had excellent recommendations for our meal. To start, we enjoyed the refreshing and flavorful Micheladas. They were the perfect way to kick off our dining experience. As for the main course, we opted for the Molcajete Mixto and the Aguachile, and we were blown away by the quality and taste of both dishes. Mariscos Choix left such a lasting impression on us that we can't wait to return. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. From the impeccable service provided by Itzel to the mouthwatering cuisine, Mariscos Choix deserves every bit of praise it receives. Don't miss out on this gem! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Mariscos Choix, and I have to highlight the exceptional service provided by Rosalinda. From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm, genuine smile that instantly made us feel welcome. Throughout the entire meal, Rosalinda was attentive without being intrusive, always checking in at just the right moments and ensuring everything was perfect. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and handled our special requests with ease and professionalism. What truly stood out was her positive attitude and how she went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. It's rare to find someone who combines efficiency, kindness, and a true passion for hospitality the way Rosalinda does. Thanks to her, our visit was more than just a meal -- it was an experience. We'll definitely be back, and we'll be asking for Rosalinda by name. She's a true asset to the team! read more

Never a dull moment here. They upgraded the place and menu and every time I come here I have a great experience I went there with a few friends on a Saturday evening. Everything about this place is EXCELLENT! We got seated immediately after our whole party arrived and the service was great! The weather was warm so I was craving a Michelada and a Coctel de campechana(mixed seafood cocktail). Both of the items I ordered suited the occasion refreshingly, service was quick and staff is friendly and attentive, I did have a minor negative critique, I had a couple fries from my nieces left over dish and It was obvious they cook their fries in the same oil as they do their seafood, I personally didn't mind, but I know some folks that would definitely complain about it, so just a heads up folks. All in all we will definitely be going back since they have an extensive list of items on their menu wich look delicious! read more

If you're craving fresh, flavorful seafood with that true Mexican coastal vibe, Mariscos Choix is the spot! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service, great music, and that mouthwatering aroma of authentic mariscos. I ordered the aguachiles and shrimp tacos both were absolutely delicious! The shrimp were super fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the spice had just the right kick. The portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade with love. The micheladas are chef's kiss -- probably one of the best I've had in the area! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming -- perfect for a casual lunch, family dinner, or even a chill weekend hangout. You can tell the staff really cares about their food and their customers. If you love seafood with bold flavors and good vibes, this place won't disappoint. Highly recommend Mariscos Choix -- it's definitely become one of my go-to spots! read more

5 Stars - A Truly Delightful Experience! I had the pleasure of dining here recently and I can confidently say -- it exceeded all expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and the service was top-notch. Carlos, our server, was absolutely incredible -- attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. He anticipated our needs without being intrusive, and his recommendations were spot on. I ordered the aguachiles, tacos, a tostada, and a michelada, and each one was bursting with flavor. The aguachiles were perfectly balanced -- tangy, fresh, and just the right level of spice. The tostada was crisp and delicious, and the michelada? One of the best I've had -- refreshing and expertly prepared. When great food meets exceptional service, you know you're in the right place. Thank you, Carlos, for making this visit truly memorable.

We recently visited this restaurant after seeing an Instagram video that made the experience look amazing, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations. The food itself was okay, nothing terrible, and the prices felt higher than what the overall experience justified. One of the biggest disappointments was realizing that what we saw online didn't match what was actually offered when we visited. It seems that certain menu items or presentations highlighted in their social media are only available on weekends, something that wasn't clearly communicated. This made the experience fell a bit misleading and left us whishing we had known ahead of time. The ambiance of the restaurant itself was great, we loved the way the plants were laid out throughout the restaurant and the music was a hit. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but we may not visit anytime soon. read more

Enjoyed our first time at Mariscos Choix. All staff, especially Andre our server made our celebration for a group of 16 one to remember. We were seated in a timely manner for our reservation at 6:15. Drinks were ordered and enjoyed by all. Andre made sure to ask about food allergies which was great as some of their salsas have nuts in them. My son has nut allergies. The food was great we ordered a variety Baja Fish Tacos, Marlin Fish Tacos, De Pulpo, Tostada de Ceviche, Tostada Mixta, Molcajete, Beef Fajitas, Shrimp and chicken nuggets for the kids and everyone was satisfied with their meal. Given we were a large group drinks and food came out in a very timely manner. After dinner, celebration desserts were brought out by the staff for my brother and parents who we were celebrating.

Ok so I been craving for a Botana choix that I saw a couple time on friends Snapchat. It looks super yummy avocado good presentation. So I went with hubb to take food to go. I order my Botana Choix. ERROR!! They give me 2 boxes, I open one it was only 3 slides of avocado and the other box was the Botana. Omg it was like one tostada serving. We paid almost $28dls which is ok for a Botana but serving was so poor. Flavor was delicious. have nothing to said about the kitchen really good. But never again I'll take botanas to go. They serve so poor portions. If you want a good Botana Mariscos for same price go to La Barca Grill and Cantina. read more

We had a mojara a la diabla ( super delicious ) and chicken fajitas. Our waiter was Guadalupe and she was very sweet and genuinely attentive.

I was really hoping for a great experience at this place, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The food was mostly mediocre. The Aguachile was alright, but nothing special. The "fresh guacamole made to order" looked more like an old spread -- definitely not what I was expecting. The Tacos Gobernador were fine, but it's disappointing that they charge extra for the chipotle sauce, which is usually included at other places. The chicken fajitas were also underwhelming, lacking the flavor and sizzle I was hoping for. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but I won't be rushing back. read more
