Came in the other night with a large party to celebrate my wife's bday. It was our first time at this restaurant. Ambiance was great. Good music nicely decorated. Food was also delicious. We split the Molcajete and had agua chile negra. Both were delicious. Service was great. Shoutout to our server Aylin. She was great. We had her running around and she remained very polite and great personality. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
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*
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 :)!
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.

Laura was our server and I can say she deserved a raise checking on us every 15 mins making sure we are okay. Customer service is amazing!! Manager is also on the floor greeting guest and making sure you're welcomed!! For sure coming back the vibes here are amazing next time we sitting in the patio though! The food was bomb especially the rice and beans never had better at any other restaurant I went to! Empanadas bomb for an appetizer. The main course meal is agua chiles negro a must if you're coming here. drinks also bomb I can say it is a 5 star restaurant!! read more

This is the cost of $48. Not worth it. A total waste. This is about a tostada worth. I've paid the same price at other marisco restaurants and I usually get double the amount and better quality. I had decided to give this place a second chance but I regret it now. read more

My boyfriend and his family celebrated my birthday this past weekend at Mariscos Choix. It was my first time going there and I fell in love with the place. The food, service i, and ambiance were amazing. I'm obsessed with this place and can't wait to go back and try something new from the menu. My boyfriend and I ordered the botana de Cameron con pulpo, one fish taco which the sauce is sooo good we used it to eat it with tacos sinaluense and a mojara frita. We ordered a few drinks too which did not disappoint. You definitely need to check this place out if you want great seafood and love Mexican music. The parking will be next to the restaurant but don't park front area of del taco they will tow your car just park far down. read more

First time here. The drinks were fantastic. The fishbowl of a michelada was delicious and if you enjoy an old fashioned, El Boracho is the drink to get. We had gotten the empanadas, and devoured them, the aguaschiles verdes had nice kick to them, and the fish tacos and fish ceviche were tasty. Our server Laura was very friendly and was very attentive. read more
