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! read more

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 read more

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!!! read more

BEWARE OF THEIR MISLEADING MENU PRICING I came to this restaurant from Miami, Florida as a first time visitor based on a recommendation from a trusted source. However, my California family and I had a terrible experience at this place while watching the Mexico soccer game. We were specifically told that margaritas would be on happy hour until the game started at 6:00 PM. Based on that information, our group ordered several margaritas, expecting the happy hour to last until kickoff. The game didn't actually start until 7:00 PM, but when the bill came, we were shocked to find out we had been charged regular price because the bartender claimed the happy hour didn't exist and the drinks specials actually started when the game started which should've been at 6pm but fifa delayed the game until 7 pm. As a business owner I expected this restaurant to do the right thing and they did not honor the happy hour price or any special from 6-7pm for the delay of this game. Now mind you, the bartender himself handed us the happy hour menu and confirmed the price of the margaritas would go up from $5 to $9 at 6pm. That was completely different from what we were told when he brought the tab and it was an entire bait-and-switch. The margaritas were not even $9 because in what math do you equate $85 for 5 margaritas and $51 for 3?? Receipt has been provided time stamped 5:25pm on a Tuesday along with their happy house $4 off Margarita discounted menu. There was no premium liquor or any extras to these drinks. The restaurant is very shady for that and if they are not going to honor happy hour prices at all they need to advise customer of this. Needless to say, nowhere in their menu do they mention a soccer game special on drinks or whatever "social hour" means on this receipt. I did try to resolve this at the restaurant and your bartender stated that the happy hour didn't exist contradicting what he had said earlier and this man didn't even know how many drinks we drank. All he offered was to take 3 drinks off the menu but that doesn't make me whole. He provided me with the wrong pricing and should've stood behind it. Since the restaurant staff won't fix their wrongs I am left with no choice but voice my concerns on this platform and hope the owner sees this and reaches out to me. The service was just as disappointing. We waited a very long time for our tostadas for our Aguachiles and even longer for basic things like silverware. The bartender Joel blamed the delays on the restaurant being crowded, but that excuse didn't make sense because we were one of the only customers ordering food at the time. To make matters worse, the food was mid at best and definitely not worth the prices they charge. What's even more misleading is that the food menu doesn't list all prices, so you have no idea what you're going to be paying until the bill arrives for many of their items. Overall, the misleading happy hour information, lack of full menu pricing, slow service, and underwhelming food made for a frustrating experience. I felt misled and taken advantage of. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for honest pricing or good service. 0/10 the entire experience is unacceptable please stay away ! read more

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. read more

Ambiance: We came in on a Friday afternoon and were seated right away. Being here makes you feel like you're taken out of Downey and on vacation. Lovely out door seating, lively music, fun decor, and large Tv screens playing the World Cup. It was a lively but also relaxing vibe. Food: we got the rebelde, New York steak taco, fish taco, mango flight, and Nemo cocktail. Recommend all of them. Everything was delicious! The Nemo cocktail was a fruity tropical drink that even came in a cute fish glass cup. Service: our server Lupe was such a joy. She was very attentive, kind and intuitive and was able to service a busy group on a Friday afternoon! Thank you so much :) read more

All the food we tried was solid! The presentation is excellent. We hung out in the bar area. Daniel took care of us. He provided the best service I've experienced in a long time. He took the time to explain the menu, checked on us and gave us some recommendations. I will definitely return here read more

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. read more

Food and service is excellent. Seafood quality is very good. Very kind and accommodating staff.

Samantha's hospitality was well. She is a great waitress, very respectful. Definitely I would hire her in my business.

I originally came in craving Flame Broiler, but while walking by Ahipoki, I noticed they offered cooked options as well. The manager waved me in, welcomed me, and took the time to explain the menu and help me choose since I looked interested. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. The food was excellent! I ordered the salmon with rice and salad, along with a variety of toppings, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I'll definitely be back. read more

An excellent experience from start to finish! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The drinks were delicious, but the oyster shots "Pajuelazo" were definitely the highlight of the night. As an appetizer, we tried the Ceviche Mitotero Appetizer, and it was outstanding. We also highly recommend the shrimp and octopus cocktail, which was one of our favorite dishes because of its freshness and amazing flavor. The service was exceptional thanks to Samantha C. and Liz, who were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. The manager even stopped by our table to greet us and check in to make sure we were enjoying our experience, which shows their strong commitment to customer service. This is definitely a place worth visiting. Highly recommended and a must-try experience! read more

Samantha was a great server, really nice and fast! Made very funny jokes very talkative

It was a pretty cool vibe, they had live music! The food was really good, service was pretty great also.

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 read more

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. read more

Service service service, was amazing. Friendly, polite, and attentive.... Always wanted to try this place, but every time there was a pool of people waiting for tables. To my surprised, today was our lucky day. Got seated right away. Place is very nice decorated, but a bit hot. Isolating fans are a nice touch( only if the fan happens to face you). Still, the ambiance it's pretty nice. El molcajete was pretty good. Giving it 4 starts out of 5, for a few reasons..1, they don't carry a large variety of light beers... 2. The rice and beans were bland. And 3rd, the cucumber margarita was a miss. Everything else was tasty. It's great the managers take the time to approach the table and asked for feedback. To our surprise, we were given a complimentary coupon for a next visit. It was a shame we couldn't stay for The Norteno Trio!!! We are definitely going back. I apologized for not remembering the staff names. To all of you, thank you thank you. read more

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. read more

We came to Mariscos Choix with a group of 8, and we had an amazing time! Our waitress, Lupita, was fantastic and so friendly, attentive, and fun. She made the experience even better. The food was outstanding. The pulpo zarandeado tacos were absolutely delicious, the tostada mixta was incredible, and the Baja tacos were amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The restaurant itself is cute, airy, and has a great atmosphere with fun vibes throughout. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

This place was busy and lively. There was live music and sitting on the outside covered patio made you think you were somewhere else with all the greenery & lighting fixtures. I ordered a Mi Pasíon as my cocktail which had mezcal, pineapple, passionfruit & lime. It was a bright & fruity drink. For food we ordered a bunch of things to share at the table- cheese empanadas, ceviche mitotero, & tacos sinaloenses. The cheese empanadas were crispy, fried, extra cheesy, and piping hot in the middle. The ceviche mitotero was refreshing and I loved the mixture of seafood in it. The tacos sinaloenses come in 3's & come with lots of shrimp in a crispy taco shell. For dessert we ordered the flan de elote- I liked the corn flavor and the texture was a bit thicker than a regular flan. Parking- street parking read more
