    Well let me start by saying I was told this place is named El Malecon, so don't know why it shows differently here as the name on the outside also says el Malecon. Nevertheless, the name doesn't matter! This place is amazing and the most delicious place for Mariscos in California!! This is the best I have experienced in the 2 years I have been here. The food was super good, flavorful and the service was outstanding, warm and friendly people serving the food. The ambiance is hometown local place with great food! If you are in the area, passing by or a local, this place is absolutely the best!! Everything on the menu is fantastic and I will for sure be back to eat their delicious food. The ceviche is good the fish is good and the authentic flavor is great! You won't be disappointed if you visit! I recommend it and I know you will truly enjoy it! I will be making a trip back from NorCal to Porterville just to come eat here. It's worth the 4 hour drive!

    Delicious!!
    Love Good Food All Over The Worl G.

    Delicious great ceviche and shrimp tacos. Highly recommend. Whenever I come to town, I eat here, a lot!

    Shrimp Michelada!

    What an absolute delight. Super friendly and attentive servers and the free ceviche and mega chips they give as an appetizer is worth something in itself! Small beef tacos were excellent as were the shrimp in my Michelada. Plus the seating was clean and cozy. Highly recommend.

    Overrated

    Food was bland over all really overrated. My fault for betraying el Maguey on olive. Really nice environment in the restaurant though

    Complimentary fish ceviche, while I waited for my order.

    I was planning to visit some Argentinian restaurants over the weekend in LA. But I could not wait for empanadas so I did a search ...there is one location in Porterville that has it ...they only make one type ....shrimp and cheese empanadas....it is easy to miss this place because there's one sign above the location, off the street ....when you walk in you are immediately transformed....it is Mexico, great atmosphere, beautiful music, very nice people and an amazing staff ....they were so cordial, so respectful, so polite, and so professional. They give me a complementary fish ceviche when I waited for my order of three shrimp and cheese empanadas. I cannot believe I've been around this area for almost 10 years andI never found this place. Empanadas were okay. Service was super. Need to go back to try are the items from their menu.

    Pay It Forward G.

    My husband loved this place! When we walked in he was greeted by a friendly man server and was given what's in the picture. By the way the tostadas here are really good, like really good. My husband said the cheviche was the best he has ever tried. It wasn't fishy, it was refreshing and he really liked that. It smelled clean in there and it really feels like a Mariscos restaurant. Nice music not too loud. Very friendly attentive staff My only complaint is the horchata is not made like Mexican horchata, it is from the fountain. So it doesn't really taste like horchata. But if your not picky you might like it. I'm picky.

    So I decided to try this place with some co-workers who were craving tacos. I love fish and shrimp tacos and try to find the best places possible. There is nothing like the Ensenada La Bufadora Flea Mart tacos!!! But these tacos came pretty dang close!! First I ordered the Carne Asada fries. They were very good, lots of Carne Asada. Next came the Shrimp and Fish tacos. The breading was very good and the flavors were amazing with spiced cream sauce. They had this green chili that was good and hot!! The Shrimp Empanadas were amazing!! I have never had them before now. The empanada was filled with melted cheese and shrimp. AMAZING!!! I apologize for my presentation but I decided to Yelp after eating the Empanada. But regardless eat here!! You won't be disappointed!!

    Had dinner yesterday at el 30 and it was delicious, the food came out incredibly fast and the service was super friendly and welcoming. They serve you ceviche with tostadas while you order and it was really good. Our food was hot and fresh, definitely will be coming back for the live music on they have on Fridays.

    Best shrimp tacos ever and the ceviche is very fresh, leaves you wanting more. You can get breaded or grilled shrimp and they are both good.

    First time dining at El Maguey and will definitely be back. Small and quaint space with very…read morefriendly staff. Had heard great things about this restaurant and finally decided to give it a try. The menu was composed of fairly common dishes found at most Mexican restaurants. I'll review the dishes we tried. First, we had some carne asada tacos. The meat was seasoned and cooked well, topped on fresh made corn tortillas. Garnished with onion, cilantro and fresh salsas. Would have again. Their fish was freshly fried and seasoned well. Nice crisp skin and super moist flesh. The garlic butter I requested added an additional layer of flavor. The refried beans were delicious and well as the rice. The side salad was complimentary to the fish as it was refreshing and citrusy. I enjoyed my meal to say the least. I definitely will visit again.

The customer service is on point as soon as you enter you are greeted like you're the only customer! The decor is authentic as well as the food. It's a small space with a shared parking lot but come before or after lunch and you'll have no trouble. Plenty of food items to please your palate. The food and aguas are flavorful. Cold beer as well Mexican beer on tap. There is also a beautiful dessert case with flans. Like their sign says they are a small business but their seasoning is big. Pop in, say hi and enjoy some delicious food as well as a lovely atmosphere with great customer service!

    Have you ever eaten something but been disappointed in it so you continue to crave it until you…read morehave a better experience? Yesterday I tried the newer Hawaiian place across town and because JJ Hawaiian BBQ was the only one I've ever had before I was expecting something really good but that wasn't my experience there so today I woke up still wanting something good. I placed an order but this time tried something that I have never had before here. Although I've liked everything I've eaten here one of my standard favorites has been the salad with the added spicy chicken but today I ordered the Hawaiian plate that had two items and I chose the spicy chicken and for something new I decided to try the grilled shrimp. Sometimes shrimp can be a little "too shrimpy" you know when it's got a very strong fishy shrimpy thing going on and it's not great but this was delicious! This comes with rice as well so I mixed some of the chicken and shrimp up in the rice together and it was a very satisfying meal. I also ordered the Thai iced tea today which I don't often drink because of the calories but it tasted good and I would definitely recommend it. Once again I have never been disappointed in anything here. My orders have always been right and the food is delicious. I absolutely love their salads and you can change them up every time with a different protein. I definitely don't think they have anything to worry about with the new place opening up across town because there is absolutely no comparison JJ Hawaiian BBQ is so much better! Highly recommended and I am extremely critical with my food reviews so you can trust that this was a delicious meal!

    The place is very neat, cozy, and feels homey. The staff is very nice, very welcoming, and just…read moreoverall friendly! The food, I mean it's really good! It's not like Michelan type food, but it's good portion and again it feels homey. I recommend their Katsu chicken, the sauce is amazing! Overall, would recommend this to friends and family! Portions are amazing, gets you full, and won't hurt the wallet!
