First time reviewing Mariscos El Chuy the crazy thing about it is, that I've been coming here for years. These are my favorite mariscos they are very delicious, and always fresh and the plates come with great portions. I drive out from the San Fernando Valley just to come and eat here. They have 3 locations now and it's a family owned restaurant. The owner Chuy and his daughter Mindy are very welcoming they make you feel right at home. They are in a new location. The good thing is, they just moved across the street. They have live music, tv's to watch the dodgers games and football along with any other sports. The service is always A1 when I come here I have yet to have a bad experience. Gracias a todo de Mariscos El Chuy for the scrumptious grub. read more

This is a bomb mariscos restaurant. It gets packed because of how popular this spot is. Service was good. The sushi platter was perfect for my group to dig in, highly recommend. So much flavor in the sushi. They have a good amount of options to choose from. The micheladas are really good and refreshing. Their mojarra frita was delicious. We were stuffed and the sushi platter really isn't very expensive with how much they give you. This spot is worth going out of the way to. Give it a try and you won't regret it. read more

Mariscos El Chuy #2 - Ceviche Con Pulpo - Seafood Near Me - Hawthorne, California

I'm extremely disappointed writing this because this has always been one of my favorite restaurants. On Super Bowl Sunday (02/08), I placed an order and when I got home, I realized that half of the order was missing. I live far from the restaurant, so going back wasn't an option. I immediately called and spoke with a manager named Thalia. She apologized and explained that there were two new employees working and that it was very busy. She assured me that she would process a refund right away. After several days passed and I didn't see the refund, I called again. I was told it can take up to 7 business days. We are now on day 9, and I still have not received the refund. It's extremely frustrating to have to repeatedly follow up to get refunded for food I never received. I understand that mistakes happen, especially on busy days, but following through on a promised refund should not require this much effort from a customer. Unfortunately, if this isn't resolved immediately, I will have to dispute the charge with my bank. This experience has been very disappointing and has made me reconsider returning in the future. read more

Ridiculously overpriced for the portions you receive. They moved locations and it's okay but these prices are just NOT worth it. You're better off going elsewhere plenty to choose from. read more

I'm a regular customer and visit this seafood and sushi restaurant several times a month. I consistently order the baked scallop roll with tuna instead of California roll, a modification that has been accommodated for me many times in the past. On my most recent visit, I was told they've "never done that," which felt like gaslighting, especially when you're ordering the same item the same way over a long period of time. I was then told they "can't put raw fish in the oven," which is confusing given that baked sushi rolls commonly contain raw fish prior to cooking, and this exact modification has been done here before. If there has been a policy change, that's completely fine. But it needs to be communicated clearly and consistently. Making loyal customers feel like they're making things up is not acceptable. Consistency and respect matter, especially at a restaurant that relies on repeat business. I hope management addresses this. read more

The food is delicious! The portions are HUGE! The aquachile was FIRE, as was my mouth. So good! The service was great; and the food came out quick! They have a great size restaurant too, which seems like it would be great for large parties! I've been back twice already in two months. read more

Chose this place to "check out" a new Mariscos spot in the area for my convenience. I always like to drive away from my current establishment. Parking was confusing but let me just clear the air by saying that the lot next to them (that looks like a clinic) is welcome for you to park there. Moving forward, I walked in and waited for a bit "to be seated" as we all should (by the way) and the greeter/waiter by the name of JR greeted me and offered me a counter spot for myself or the booth he saw me eyeing. He didnt make a face or gesture and invited me to sit there. Once i sat, my experience began. Jr was so attentive with me and everyone else, like on the dot. He'd be checking a table out and ill reach in for a request and he would fulfill it right away! His multitasking skills were amazing. I wanted to actually hire him as the manager that i personally am lol. Tostada de ceviche was great! Right portion for the price. The michelada did its thing (ordering a michi can be scary cus some places dont get it right) and man truthfully im here today to give him the review he deserves. The restaurant and environment was really chill, even at the peak hr i was in for. Thank you Jr read more

It was my first time there I was staying in a hotel across the street from the mariscos el Chuy decided to give them a try I'm big on mariscos and sushi. I enter the restaurant right off the bat it felt like a sauna inside no ac mind you it was 100 degrees out there and it felt worst being in a stuffy place I ordered a taco gobernador and some sashimi to start with before I got my plate my girl order the ceviche mixto when they brought me my sashimi they pilled a plate with chopped lettuce and the sashimi on top presentation right off the bat was horrible, my girl told the waitress can you remove the lettuce off the plate she rolled her eyes and said you should of said you didn't want lettuce I said no where have I ordered sashimi were it came with lettuce it's why I ordered a sashimi so she took my plate and I told another waitress to cancel my order on the sashimi yet still decided to bring it to my table and said oh you don't want it anymore I said no I don't and explain why and she said oh I can't just take it off I said well I don't want it, she proceeded to call her manager and the manger said if you didn't like lettuce and you wanted more sashimi you should of said something I said I didn't want more sashimi I just didn't want the lettuce so we got off with out touching my food paid and walk away with food not being touch horrible experience and worst d service... read more

This is not your average Mexican Restaurant!!! A friend told me about this place and mentioned that their specialty was sushi. I was surprised and excited to visit and see for myself. The restaurant was small and there is only street parking but easy to find a spot. The staff was courteous and welcoming and the place was clean and neat. We ordered the sushi, cerviche, the fried fish and shrimp tacos. They definitely know their seafood and everything was delicious. The fish and tacos were flavorful and tender, moist and not dry so easily something I would recommend. The cerviche was tasty and delicious, so savory and satisfying! The sushi was a whole different world! So many flavors and textures! I had the Dodger Roll which was piled high with crab meat inside and on top. The rice really held together, the outside was fried and added some crunch to the sushi. There were so many flavors, the spicy and sweet, such bold flavors made it a wonderful experience. The sushi was fresh and presented nicely. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, there are two other locations, one in Paramount. read more

A lot of people waiting. Not enough parking. The girls employees were nice didn't offer a lot of customer service. Food arrived fast. The food portion's were ok. Food taste was nothing that WOW me. We came to try this place because we were in the area, I will not drive here just to eat here again. The ambience was good not loud. read more

Great and fresh food. Got seated really fast. Only thing I wish is the music was a little bit lower. But overall, I would definitely go back. read more

We been coming here for a long time its really delicious and most of waiters and waitress are friendly. The only thing they need to improve is seating the customers , we went and they took so long on giving us a table and the worst part is that they seems they ignore you standing there and they have table available but I don't know why they don't atleast greet you or let you know they will help you , other than that the rest is good. So hopefully they improve on that issue read more

I wanted to like this place based on the reviews, but they failed me. The food was ok enough to eat but it lacked so much flavor. When we went to pick up our food, the cashiers were rude. Then we get home and we were missing part of our order. The aguachiles we ordered were undercooked. The caldo de camarón y pulpo lacked depth. The mojarra wasnt nice and crispy like they typically are. Not to mention it was $20+ and didn't come with beans and rice. The sushi was OK, but it isn't the best. Based on my experience this place is overpriced for the quality. I don't understand how this place has the reviews it has. I won't ever be coming back. read more

First impression: Looked unfinished on the decor. They just moved location, to where they are now. So, I'll give them a pass this time around. Parking sucked. The location doesn't have its own parking. So you're left to park on the Boulevard. Parking is kinda sketchy with all the homeless around. Food: The food was good. I tried a Marlin taco, a breaded fish taco, Philly roll. My wife had a Dragon roll, and spicy Tuna roll. My two daughters had the Tres Mariscos soup and a basic burger. We were all satisfied with our portions. Ambient sound: It was kinda loud due to it being busy. Corridors tumbados is all they played on the TV while we were there. I'm not a fan of that music. I'd be nice if they mixed it up with Norteñas, rancherras, or even mariachi. We did get approached by a traveling Norteño group that asked everyone if they'd like any dedication. We asked for two song which were performed in front of us. Pricing may vary per song if they show up while there. Pricing: The food was priced far. The menu is easily accessed via a QR code on every table. I'm sure it's online as well. Service: We were sat within a minute. Our server was nice and well presented. Greeted us with a smile. She was very attentive and respectful. I'll definitely go back and try more of their fixings. Good luck and happy eating. read more

The Ceviche Mixto is such a great appetizer or even a meal itself. Don't forget to try their amazing micheladas!

Service is ok. Food is actually something I could live without. Sushi was a fail and the ceviche was bland and boring. The restaurant is dirty. Spiderwebs and bathrooms are just ewww read more

I love the food and sushi here been coming for a while only had 1bad experience with the service. However I dined in 11/9 party of 8. 6 adults and 2 kids. We got sat right by the entrance window blowing etc. not preferred seating I believe Uncomfortable. When it was time for the bill I noticed it had 20% added to the bill which I understand large party, I'm aware. I'm also aware that the guest needs to be notified or it has to be Noted/posted on premises. Host stand or the entrance. It wasn't mentioned verbally either there was a $55 dollar tip added mind you my little ones didn't even order a full meal they got a side of fries for $7 dollars... Plus a 4% CC charge fee on top of that WHAT REALLY TRIGGERED ME WAS THAT AS A SERVER YOUR AWARE THAT THE TIP IS INCLUDED. TELL ME WHY THE SERVER HAD THE AUDACITY TO SWIPE OUR PAYMENT AND HAND US THE DEVICE ASKING FOR ANOTHER TIP.. like wtf. R you serious half their clientele are Spanish speakers imagine how many people don't realize they are double tipping.. smh read more

The waitress was RUDE my husband went in to place a to go order and was asking the lady in the front (short dark skinned lady ) questions about the food and menu and she has the WORST attitude. It was our first time here and she was just plain rude . We ordered the cóctel de camarón and it wasn't good it had no flavor bland . We also orders some gavia de camarón and they were ok nothing out of this world . They are better marisco places around. Please teach the rude lady some customer service skills. The place is pretty pricey and not worth it . I wouldn't recommend this place . read more

The food at this restaurant is DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend this place , waitress was very nice and even though it was full she kept coming to check in on us, we order 3 different plates and must say we were delighted. Next time we are in town we will try the sushi for sure . read more

I do recommend this place just because of the music. The food is not that good and I think a little overpriced, I ordered a taco de camarón and marlin and the taco de camarón was very dry it doesn't come with salsa or anything, I asked if they had some kind of salsa for it and she said they only had spicy mayo that they used for the sushi. The salsa for the chips had so much lemon it was bitter sour not spicy at all. My husband ordered a botana mixta and something in it didn't taste fresh it had a weird flavor, there's no tostadas or avocado. Didn't want to order anything else because I was disappointed with what we ordered. The music was great, that's the only thing we enjoyed. read more

The prices are supper overpriced! Definitely left me baffled, especially since it's $20 for just 1 tostada. The sushi is pretty average at about $20. And the sushi I got was so worth it! It was absolutely delicious! The service is slow, so order ahead! If you are getting something that's not hot though, then you'll be ok! Ambiance is hectic, which is not my vibe since it feels stuffy with the limited spaces inside. read more

The Ambiance was nice, we were hyped cause we had just left a SoFi Game and we were able to keep the vibes here. The seating area is a bit small but luckily all of us (party of10) was sat right away in the bar area within 5min. Then got our orders asap . Food came fast and food WAS BOMB AFFF! My ceviche was bomb had a nice bomb spice to it, lots of lime not stingy, everything cooked to a perfection! It had Pulpo and that was bomb! None of that chewy funky ass pulpo! Definitely hit this place up if you near by!! Def returning after a SoFi game read more

So the food was spectacular. I was apprehensive about ordering sushi as sometimes restaurants try and add too many different foods and slack off on some but both the seafood and the sushi was delicious especially the fried jalapeño roll emmmmmhmm we ordered two more to go! The only setback was our waiter didn't speak English that well so there was a bit of a disconnect and that sucked because she was sweet and truly worked hard to help us as best as she could. Will be coming back for sure I just have to sharpen some Spanish skills ! read more
