This is the dumb MENU LACKS description and photos   The staff has to describe every single item. Imagine that

I was here years ago, then it was closed for a while! I was ecstatic when I came to find out it reopened... The vibes is the same. I haven't tried all the food, but what I have tried I've really enjoyed with the exception of today which is why I only gave it 4 stars. There's plenty of room for improvement, for starters the menu. If you've never been here imagine only the name of the plate with NO description, NO photos. Imagine trying to remember it all as you ask about any or all of them. It's frustrating. I will attach photos and reviews What I didn't like was the empapelado. It was basically seafood steamed in foil packet with melted cheese! It lacked seasoning and flavor! The tortillas they served with it were nasty textured and flavored.

Ceviche mix
DEBB D.

Decent restaurant with good seafood. The servings were well portioned. We actually finished all our food. The ceviche had a great balance of citrus! I usually have to order extra limes on the side to add more of the citrus flavor, but didn't need to with their food! The service was good enough for a big party, but nothing amazing. They were a bit busy so I didn't expect perfect service. The ceviche mix had good portions of all the ingredients and even the shrimps were a good medium size. All prices were $18 and above. Only thing I disliked was they ONLY serve drinks in bottles. Water, sodas, even your agua frescas are all served in water bottled-type of containers. The horchata was too sweet for my taste. The agua de Jamaica (hibiscus) was ok. Just make sure to double check your check. Street parking. Overall, decent place. Try it for yourself and then decide.

El 30/30 delicious
Cinthia C.

The food is delicious. We ordered a platter I think it's called 30/30 it was $60. No complaints on that. NY mother in law got Mojarra( fried fish. That she loved as well. Th service sucked again. The first rime we went there the waitress left. This time, the waitress aren't smiling,just dropping stuff the food, just rude.I always make sure my husband tips we'll, this time I didn't care. I felt like I was chasing them down.

Chicharones de pescado and quesadilla al gobernador!!!
Dora C.

This place has some of the best seafood dishes in town. Every item I've ordered has been delicious . From their tostadas, aguachiles, ostiones preparados, chalupas!!!! Anything you order is a hit. Seafood is fresh and now their staffs are up to par too. All the staffs are attentive and quick to provide service. Will definitely be back again and again!!!

Vein of poop

The vibe is good and the seafood is fresh, but they don't clean the shrimp. Every one still had the black strip (poop vein) inside. For a mariscos spot, that's a basic fail. Hard to enjoy the food after noticing that. El lugar tiene buen ambiente y mariscos frescos, pero no limpian los camarones. Todos tenían la vena negra (el intestino) todavía. En un lugar de mariscos, eso es imperdonable. Difícil disfrutar la comida así.

Aguachiles
Shelby P.

The seafood here is so good and so fresh it is literally amazing. Service is great and everything came out really fast. Favorite seafood and aquachiles spot hands down 10/10

Carlos C.

Este lugar merece 5 estrellas es lo mejor de lo mejor , el servicio es rápido , los mariscos frescos el ambiente muy bonito ! Amazing ambiance , food and service ! Fresh !

Oysters
Carolina H.

The seafood is incredibly fresh. We especially love the oysters, shrimp cocktail and ceviche. The service has greatly improved since the restaurant's reopening, making the experience even better. It's easily one of the best seafood spots in Southern California.

This place was SO GOOD! I ordered the breakfast burrito with vegan chorizo, potatoes, and cheese,…read moreand I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best burrito I've had in decades. The vegan chorizo was incredibly flavorful--you absolutely do not feel like you're sacrificing anything by choosing it. Everything worked perfectly together. We also ordered an al pastor burrito wet, and that was delicious too. The sauce was rich, savory, and full of flavor and took the whole burrito to another level. And the chips and salsa? To die for. Seriously. Even the chips and salsa were memorable. Everything tasted fresh and full of flavor, and both the vegan option and the traditional meat option were excellent. We will absolutely be back.

Stopped by here for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon, it was really hot inside haha. Limited parking,…read morebut definitely doable since it's not too crazy. I was hoping they would have a Taco Tuesday special or something but they don't... I ordered 2 carne asada and 1 al pastor tacos to go. They were prettty solid and delicious! Carne asada was really nice, the al pastor was definitely more flavorful, but it had more of the burnt ends, so it was either even more flavorful from the charred parts, or it was a bit hard and too crispy to have. Overall, still pretty nice though. I liked how they had the side bar, which it doesn't look entirely the cleanest, but pretty decent. Total for 3 tacos came out to be $9, so it's about $3 each. Kinda high for tacos imo, but they're pretty good.

Taco Tuesday + Cinco de Mayo felt like the perfect excuse to grab tacos before a business meeting…read more We arrived to the area early and wanted something quick, and Tijuana Tacos was perfect for that bc the tacos came out quickly. Parking is limited, so we were happy to snag one of the last spots. This is an order-at-the-counter spot with a salsa bar, hot beans, indoor and outdoor seating, and even Mexican Coke. Indoor seating is also pretty limited, so my friend and I were glad to grab one of the small tables. I ordered the lengua and asada tacos and both were flavorful, tender, and loaded with meat. I was honestly too hungry and eager to take a picture beforehand, but I can assure you the portions are plentiful. The tacos were a little greasy, but still really satisfying. Solid taco spot if you're in Pomona.

Sitting there honestly reminded me of being around my grandmother and my tías, listening to them sing in the kitchen while they cooked. It brought back some beautiful memories. Now the birria de chivo... soooo delicious! You could taste all the different spices, and I could even taste a hint of chocolate in the birria that gave it such a rich, deep flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Estaba deliciosa! And the menudo was just as good! As soon as it came to the table, it looked and smelled delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful with that homemade taste that makes you keep going back for another spoonful. The look, the smell, and especially the taste were on point! We were a party of four and my kids loved it too, which is always a plus for me! I even took a little video because I wanted to capture the food and the beautiful atmosphere. The prices were very affordable, especially for the quality and amount of food we received. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and what a great host! He came over to our table to ask how our food tasted and personally thanked us for coming in. That little gesture made us feel welcomed and appreciated. Beautiful atmosphere, authentic flavors, affordable prices, great hospitality, and food that makes you feel a little closer to home. We will definitely be back! ¡Y ARRIBA JALISCO!

The ratings of this place definitely do not lie - everything is fresh and cooked to perfection! I tend to always get the shrimps ceviche and the shrimp tacos!

The shrimp tacos are always very delicious as well. They deep fry it and the serving size is very worth it.

We absolutely love this place and decided to come for our anniversary. I'll preface this by saying…read morethe food taste was amazing, like always. But some shady charges or maybe we'll call it miscommunication just rubbed me the wrong way. I always order the mole chicken enchiladas and my wife (being vegetarian) asks for the same dish but if the enchiladas can be vegetable or cheese. Apparently this means a 8$ up charge? We've done this many times in the past and always been charged the same price for both. I asked the server at the end "the veggie version is 8$ more expensive than chicken?" And he just shrugged and said yes. Just found it interesting that a meat dish would be 8$ less than a purely cheese/veggie dish. Especially since done this in the past with no issue. I also asked for "hot sauce" for my dish. They brought out a spicier house salsa as the hot sauce...totally understandable and the salsa here is usually free. Apparently it's a 4$ "chipotle sauce" that the waiter did not inform me would be charged. I would've easily just said I want tapatio or no "hot sauce". I used maybe a teaspoon for 4$. I told the waiter this when we questioned the bill and he just shrugged. These may seem like small inconveniences but when they seem like they intentionally don't tell you the details and then when called out about it just kinda shrug it off, it was a disappointing end to an otherwise tasty dinner. We love it here and will certainly be back but it just sucks that I have to be extra cautious & skeptical when ordering from now on.
