Ceviche camron

I was craving marsicos. And this place was SO good! Everything was fresh and so tasty! What a treat!

Sandra A.

Este lugar es la pura madre!!! You guys have to try it. If you can, order ahead. My favorite is the mango habanero and add octopus to it. Very tasty. Their shrimp cocktail is very delicious too. Soy una mexicana con expectativas muy altas y estos muchachos si que se la rifan con los mariscos. Gracias plebes

Hoy pase y me pedí un ceviche. No estaba mal, pero la cantidad de cebolla es exagerada. Parecen dientes de caballo y colmillos de cocodrilo. Habrían de invertir en un chopper Más bien parece tostada de cebolla ‍‍‍

Mixta Especial (Mix Special)
Joel A.

Hands down the best mariscos truck in the Valley. Authentic Mazatlan seafood PERIOD. The Mixta and coctels are so refreshing. They also have tacos and quesadillas !!

Shrimp cocktail.
Michael B.

I was here for their first day. We got the shrimp quesadillas, shrimp cocktail, and shrimp ceviche. The shrimp was quesadillas was shrimp and cheese with flour tortilla but it was so good. I'll be back to try the rest of the menu.

Muy bueno el coco mixto. Te lo recomiendo!!

El coco mixto de Mariscos es esta fenomenal. Te lo recomiendo!! Muy buen sabor!! Tiene un sabor rico!

Aguachile de salsa rojo
Dean P.

I've been to many Mariscos spots and I've also been to a few other Mariscos food trucks. What separates this food truck is it's simplicity & dedication to taste. The owners family is from Sinaloa which is the seafood capital of Mexico. All recipes are authentic, delicious & tasty! My favorite is the aguachile. Aguachile from other places is left too long in juices were it ruins the texture of the shrimp. Most importantly, all the ingredients are fresh. I've also tried the Micheladas and they do not disappoint. This a must go to spot in LA for some of the best Mariscos in town!!

I am on cloud nine, that we FINALLY! have a Marisco Restaurant that I can say is OUTSTANDING…read more...... Last week my Wife, Daughter and I came here for the first time and tried the following. Ceviche De Camaron: Absolutely Freaking Delicious, the best I have ever had seriously. Aguachiles Verdes: Were on Point, perfectly spicy, right amount of lemon, purple onion and cucumbers compliment it nicely. Ceviche De Pescado: was super spicy, but a good kind of spicy with flavor, you would love it. Tacos Gobenardor: I did not have them but according to my Wife & Daughter they are Superb. I HIGHLY recommend this place, I believe they are the same owners of the Mole De Diosas place that burned down next door. If in fact they are I would say one thing..... You have something going here, expand to a larger place (Maybe Next Door) and make this place the one to beat, absolutely delicious Happy you are in the valley beats my family and I having to drive to L.A. To get good Mariscos. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE... Whereever you live it is worth the drive, place is small so not great for large groups but it is worth it.

I cannot comment on their seafood specifically as I don't indulge much, but I see others getting full plates of seafood so I guess it must be good. They also offer crackers for your seafood, to crack the shells open. They have so many food options, there's something for everyone. I would recommend this buffet. Large, shared parking lot. There's always parking.

There was some lobster mush that was probably left over from the night before. The lobster was DISGUSTING, they did not have to worry about anyone eating too much of that LOL. There were also some very large prawns that were also cooked to a mushy state, no good at all. But-there is a great deal of good, not great food that is available to eat. There was even a BOBA bar where you can make your own BOBA drinks. There is a 10% service fee, signs are informing customers of this. But they still expect tips. Service was OK I may come back again, but this is not a place I would choose. It is so fucking messy there needs to be a roll of paper towels on the table and covid type antiseptic spray. The food is messy, not the restaurant.

Love seafood and the whole works. I heard they even offer you a bib, to get messy, which I am so down for. Anyway, same thing happened at this restaurant. A confidential envelope was posted on the door and we were not able to get in. Both sides of the doors were locked. Some other mail was on the ground and 2 were inside the restaurant. I don't know what is going on with both Oliva and this Crab House restaurants? It was dark inside as I snooped to see what the place looked like, was not able to see anything, except one side of the restaurant the chairs were placed on top of the tables. Again, either they are going out of business, or sold the restaurant to someone else. We dialed their number, no answer, left a message (twice), and no one called us back! Even until today. What a shame!! Was so looking forward to it. We were there on the 7th of this month at 12 noon. My friend drove all the way from Tarzana so we could have had lunch, but both restaurants let us down..

They seriously have raised their prices since the last time I was there The deep fried cod plate that comes with fries, coleslaw and a piece of garlic bread is now $18.99, over $20 with tax, and that was with no drink, just the fried cod plate. Making it worse, the fish pieces were noticeably smaller than they were last time I was there. Even worse, there was literally no seasoning, not even a speck of salt, anywhere on the fish or the fries. Everything was bland and flavorless. I seem to remember them seasoning the fries before, but apparently spices are too expensive these days for Fish Dish. Even the coleslaw was horrible. It tasted like cabbage soaked in milk with no spices at all. This was easily the worst fish and chips I have ever had in my life and that is saying something, especially if you read my review of H. Salt Fish and Chips. I didn't think anything would be worse than that, but here we are. And for $20 no less. I will literally never go back here again, there are much better and cheaper options for much better fish. FYI, the only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is that the counter staff was very nice and place was very clean.
