Molcajete $56
Krishna C.

We have dined at this restaurant a few times now (Lunch time). This has quickly become our go to spot due to consistent food and attentive employees. Items we usually order are: Molcajete $56 Ceviche Mitotero $40 Shrimp Ceviche $14 NY Steak Tacos (3 count) $25 NY Steak Taco $9 Grilled Chicken Fajitas $28 Mixed Fajitas $40 Fish Filet $30 Molcajete is delicious. Friends love their Fajitas, Steak Tacos & their Ceviche. Food is a tad bit pricier for the location ($3-$5 more per item). But, great service, ample seating, and proximity to us justify going here. *Laughs*

Súper campechana! Deliciosos and spicy. Just how I like it.

Amazing service every. single. time. Adriana and Samantha are amazing. Daniel is the best!! I came for my birthday and they were so attentive and even sang happy birthday to me with a sundae! Love this place.

First time here and everything was great. The space is beautiful, the service was wonderful from the floor manager greeting us to our server Veronica, and the food!! Everything was fresh and sustainably sourced. Definitely coming back!

My waiter Andre is awesome!! So nice, helpful and friendly. The food is delicious and I was able to watch the Dodgers game. They have a live band. Would definitely come back.

Michelada

Great atmosphere with great staff. Waiting staff were kind, smiling, conversing with guests which was very pleasant to see. Patio seating area and great space to host events. Food was delicious. Had the michelada and tostada mixta. Definitely would recommend the tostada section for a lighter munch.

Mariscos Choix is one of those local seafood gems that often gets overlooked, tucked right into the heart of downtown Downey on busy Firestone. I came in for a solo Monday lunch, and somehow this team made it feel like a lively weekend visit. The service, the food, the atmosphere--everything hit the spot. I was waited on by Jairo, who delivered exceptional service from start to finish. He walked me through the menu, answered every question with patience and humor, and checked on me consistently without ever being intrusive. My drink never even had a chance to get low. His energy made the experience feel personal and genuinely welcoming. After I paid, Raymond, the manager, approached me to ask how everything went. He explained how much honest feedback helps them grow and tackle concerns, which I appreciated. He also told me about their live bands from Wednesday through Sunday--something I'll definitely be coming back to experience. Honestly, the only "concern" I had was how much I ate. Kudos to Raymond for caring about the business he manages and the staff. Now, the food. I ordered the Camarones Cucarachos 2.0, and let me tell you--get them shelled, not peeled. Peeling them yourself gives double the flavor and makes the whole dish more satisfying. The chipotle sauce they're cooked in is sweet with just the right touch of smokiness. I also had two Baja tacos, one fish and one shrimp. Both were reasonably sized, perfectly battered, and beautifully presented. Simple, clean, and delicious. To pair with my meal, I tried El Borracho, which felt like a Mexican twist on an Old Fashioned--Mexican whiskey blended with Maestro Dobel aged tequila, served in a smoking cloche. Smooth, aromatic, and memorable. I also had their popular Michelada with shrimp, which lived up to the hype. My first visit to Mariscos Choix was genuinely memorable. The staff's attentiveness, the quality of the food, and the welcoming atmosphere made this solo lunch feel special. I'll absolutely be returning soon. Thank you to the entire team for making my first experience one worth remembering.

Fish a diabla
Boris M.

We went to Mariscos Choix on a Wednesday evening. The ambiance is nice, though the live music can be loud. We ordered the Mitotero with fish and shrimp ceviche, as well as the premium white fish a la diabla. The fish dish originally came out as shrimp, and when corrected, the fish smelled a bit fishy and seemed more like tilapia than premium white fish. I also had the cucumber jalapeño margarita, which was $20 but had great flavor. Overall, the food was unremarkable and pricey, but the atmosphere and service were good.

Our tacos were amazing. Beautiful presentation and super tasty. The shrimp tacos were the best for us. The mariachi was a nice touch and our server was fantastic. It was nice to be in a nice relaxing environment.

First time here and I'm please with the food and service. Our waitress name is Samantha and she is very polite and informative of all the menu items, and great customer service. I had the oysters naturales and the Michelada pruebla de Camaron. Shrimps and oysters were delicious and fresh! I def recommend coming here and I will come back again.

Fish tacos and a Chelada
'Abby C.

I love it here!!!!! Adriana, Samantha y especialmente en gerente Daniel nos trataron con tanta amabilidad. I've been coming here since before their renovations and it's as good as it's ever been. The ambiance is welcoming and the service is amazing. They always make us feel welcome and as family. It was my sister's bday and the manager Daniel made sure she felt special in her day. Well definitely keep coming back Gracias Choix!

Nemo

I celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here with his family, and everyone was incredibly happy with the food! Just a heads up that they don't do reservations under party sizes of 8, so we waited about an hour to be seated. The inside is super cute and vacation-themed, and they had live music in the back when we went. I ordered the baja fish tacos, and my boyfriend ordered tostada rebelde. We also ordered some drinks: the Nemo, a paloma, and a margarita. The food was delicious - it tasted so fresh, and all of the flavors worked together beautifully. All of the salsas had a nice kick! The portions were also super generous. I appreciated that they were able to make adjustments to food, especially if it had raw shrimp in it. My boyfriend's brother got aguachiles but with cooked shrimp, and it was so light and refreshing. The waitress was attentive and on top of getting us more drinks, getting us more chips, and clearing the table in general. My only complaint was that they had seated us right up against the performers, and it was too loud to have a conversation with other people at the table. Considering that it was our first time there, this could probably be remedied by making seating preferences known in the future. The food was delicious, so I will definitely be back!

Great customer service and ambience! Food was super fresh and delicious! Will be coming back :)!

Scallops

My wife and I came here for our anniversary because we were craving some authentic seafood, and Mariscos Choix absolutely delivered. The reviews were spot on. Every dish that hit our table was excellent and packed with flavor. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with great music and an amazing atmosphere that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. And don't even get me started on the drinks. The passion fruit infused cocktail was amazing and honestly one of the best drinks I've had in a while. A big shoutout to our server Samantha. She was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down. The service was just as good as the food, which made our anniversary dinner that much better. Some of our favorite dishes were the scallops and the prepared oysters. Both were fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. If you're anywhere near Downey and enjoy seafood, do yourself a favor and check this place out. We'll definitely be coming back.

Desert unbelievably good Churros.

We were amped to treat ourselves to the king crab legs, when it arrived, it was hardly royal worthy. They were not big legs at all and felt gipped for the $109 market price 3. They dropped off the check but we hadn't put our cards down yet. Server came by several times regarding the check but we weren't ready. She interrupted mid conversation and ended up bringing the credit card machine asking how we were gonna pay. It was really rude, just to turn over another table. 4. Taste-wise, the sauce with our shrimps and crab was on point. But otherwise... They should always have extra crab tools in stock and should let customers enjoy the overall experience with their loved ones until they're ready to go. No one needs to go here, especially dropping the amount of money for this type of food but we did. But we weren't ready to feel rushed and pushed out. We absolutely will not be back :(

Very little food it seemed for two people two seniors. We…read moreordered two grilled salmon I ordered two side dishes . One was cauliflower- rice . Not enough rice was there , as it was hidden under the grilled salmon . The other side dish I wanted was coleslaw .. however , I mis read the item and ordered a kale , the green purple leafy vegetable mixed with cabbage . I didn't like it . Anyway , it was not enough food for a stocky man, who was a fairly hungry . My friend , who also ordered grilled Salmon, had a side order of cauliflower-rice and side order sweet potato fries which were seriously over cooked , and borderline burnt . I took them back to ready station person and told the young lady that the sweet potato fries were burnt, and could I have another order of the fries ( obviously not overcooked) . She was surprised. But agreed to tell the cook , to make another order of them . After 9 minutes No one said anything to me , so the new perfectly cooked fries would have sat there if I didn't get up and locate them . Also the drink I originally ordered could not be found on the drink machine which I mixed a tea with a little soda . Nevertheless , the grill salmon was nicely prepared , but the skimpy portion of rice and the kale-slaw were not enough for two us. I was feeling like I could have ordered a second dinner , as was my friend, as we drove 35 minutes to meet there from different locations. The young fellow who took our order was helpful in helping us use the touch screen. However , it was our first time at this restaurant chain , and we're both feeling hungry leaving the place .
