A true Pomona staple for mariscos. This place stays busy and for a good reason. The food is fresh and priced fair everything is delicious. The restaurant itself is a decent size with quite a few tables but with how crowded it is it seems small haha. I frequent this place it never disappoints. read more

Great food ! with horrible customer service I guess you can only get one thing right ? First of all these two girls or sisters always have a Stank ass attitude horrible communication and people skills ! Everytime I come they act like they own the place maybe switch jobs ? It's a choice to work there maybe treat people with respect and no attitude and you'll get treated with respect back. What can improve ?

Let me tell you this is not your ordinary marisco restaurant. This place is meant for real Marisco lovers. They are know for their large platters of mariscos which are so good. I can honestly say this has to be in my top 3 marisco spots. Their seafood taste so fresh and are made with a great presentation. The Botana 30/30 feeds between 4-5 people depending on their appetite. Their oysters are so fresh and tasty great flavor overall. Service is very good as well the girls are busy but they do be checking up on you to make sure everything is ok or if you need anything else. I would definitely recommend this place for seafood lovers. read more

It looked like they have a lot of online orders though. I looked at the menu and noticed they have a lot of seafood options. I decided to try the lobster roll garlic butter sauce. I was told it was $36 for market price but I was actually charged $37. I also got a soda and asked for ice and it came in the tiniest cup of ice with no lid. It didn't really work for me so I ended up not using that cup. The employee in the front was nice though. Once I got home I tried it and it was okay. It's not the best lobster roll I've had. The fries were fine but the lobster was a bit dry. Melted butter on the side would have made it better, but I forgot to ask for that. Since they do have a lot of seafood options I wouldn't mind coming back to give them another try.

For the first time ever, we finished our meal and were still hungry afterward. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend ordering the combo bag. Not only did it seem like there was significantly less food, but with all the ingredients piled together, some items ended up overcooked. We were really disappointed because we've had consistently good experiences with multiple locations here over the years. Hopefully this was just an off day, but we'll be sticking with ordering the seafood separately next time.

I ordered fried fish and you can choose half tilapia and half catfish with a choice of fries and I chose sweet potato fries. The textures are perfectly fried.

The sharpie graffiti all over the walls seemed cute at first but all of that visual clutter conditioned me into thinking that the place was dirty. No offense meant to management but my son started smelling phantom smells usually associated with graffiti'd areas in DTLA. You can't underestimate the power of suggestion. Prices are comparable to Kicking Crab and Boiling Crab with a few differences. This place doesn't offer crawfish. Neither do they offer noodles as an alternative to rice. Nor do they offer broccoli or any type of vegetable. Service is friendly but with only two servers, there is a noticeable wait. But their wonderful can-do attitude offset it. When we got our crab and lobster, it was unfortunately dry. Not sure how long they cook the seafood for, but in my experience, if you let the crab or lobster steam or boil too long, the flesh tends to stick to the shells. It wasn't easy to get the meat out. We had to scrape the meat off the exoskeletons. The lobster tail was halved prior to cooking, so this step may have contributed to the dry meat. Typically you should only split it once it's been cooked. The sauce barely adhered to the seafood, so you have to dip the seafood into the crab boil sauce to get some flavor on it. The hush puppies for happy hour are a deal at $6 but there was practically no potato in it. You get breaded, fried flour. Wasn't very happy with this. The calamari was great - minimally breaded, seasoned well, and the flesh was juicy. Loved the marinara sauce that came with it. It's also on the happy hour menu, and for $6, it was a good portion. Hopefully management can make the necessary corrections to improve the customer's experience. The fixes shouldn't be problematic because they're simple enough. Adjusting the cooking time should do a lot to improve the juiciness of the seafood, and I'm certain patrons will notice the effort.

Came here during lunch hour, pretty busy. We sat for a while before someone even acknowledged us. Service isn't great. Another time I called to place a Togo order, they took forever to answer the phone, had to call like 5 times till someone finally picked up. And after I placed my Order I came in, and they didn't even start on it yet. But what keeps me coming back is the Michelads ! Fire . And the Agua chillie. The juice is soooo good. Must try. Place looks old and kinda run down, but food and drinks were good. read more

Hands down the best mariscos I've ever had in the states, they're perfect, you don't need to add anything unless you want it spicy, aguachile rojo is chefs kiss!! Perfect amount of spice, the chilpetines really enhance the taste and the shrimp is well cooked in the lime juice and that mayo on the tostadas yum, My mouth waters every time I think about it. lol. I just wish you were open til late. I don't like the fact that you close at 7 lol. read more

It's a fun place to chill and enjoy your food. The staff are wonderful and amazing. I can say that this is my "place that makes me feel like family". They know your name and even your orders if you are like me and order pretty much the same thing. I would most definitely recommend this place as well as there other restaurant (Mi Jalisco - just down the road). Carlos and Lupita have done wonders to improve this place. Please give it a chance

Ordered the shrimp ceviche cooked in lemon and it's amazing so fresh. We also ordered the Shrimp empanadas for our kids and they loved them. (They look red but aren't spicy just fyi). The shrimp wrapped in bacon were perfection served with white rice and beans. Also the shrimp cucaracha (roach shrimp) "deep fried" and those were just okay. They have some spicy green salsa like a chutney texture it's soooooooooo good and HOT. It's summer and we are going back today for a tray of the shrimp ceviche and a quart of that green sauce. ;)) I grew up in Alhambra for background and I won't be deterred by this for sake of this business and my stomach!! It's too good not to come! Do better city of Pomona. I'll post more pictures because we devoured it the first time!

I love the fact that I was able to order a beer with my dinner. It just makes it all the more better. The waitress was very nice and helpful. She didn't leave us to fend for ourselves. I will definitely go back and try the huge selection of dishes. They have music playing in the background, which makes for a nice environment. Keep up the good work guys!

This is my first time coming here, they really are authentic regional Mexican food from Michoacán…read more The service was very welcoming and nice. It's a friendly talkative man at the register and a nice lady in the kitchen as the cook. They have a tv playing if you want to watch, and can ask to change the channel if you need. I got the "morisqueta plate" with pork and it is honestly really big, it's a great value. It can feed two people. I shared this plate with my mom, she could vouch that it was really good. The pork was very tender and flavorful, no hard rough pieces. We also got a "mulita". These two things together cost $19+ change. I will definitely return to try other plates. Great place. Recommend if you want to try authentic food from specifically Michoacán.

We went with a super regular customer and he and they knew each other by name from all his previous visits. Rosario & Ivan stood out for me because they spent a few minutes at our table making the visit more enjoyable. The ambiance was just great! I had their Mole Chilaquiles with sunny side up eggs... OMG, the Mole was absolutely amazing! It's so hard to find a good Mole and this place was it! We also had a carne asada red burrito and steak and eggs and everyone was so happy with their choices. I also had a Mexican Coffee but I asked for light tequila because I heard they can come out strong, LOL! I definitely want to go back for those mole chilaquiles again soon!

Okay, their Mole is a must. Best we've had. Not to spicy, not to bland, not to sweet or…read moresalty...just right. They don't skimp on the meat in their tacos either (like the other places do that costs the same, or even more). I ordered online because of mobility reason and small places. They texted me as to when it would be ready and it was right on time and so freshly made we had to wait a minute when we got it home for it to cool off a bit. The only problem I had was trying to join their rewards club. They kept sending me a code, I'd put in the code and it would say invalid code. After putting in four different codes I gave up. This is the reason I didn't give them a 5 star rating.

All the food portions were big and reasonably priced. The meat was tender and flavorful. I could only eat the 3 tacos at work because I was so full. The tacos were full of meat. They put the cilantro, onions and salsa on the side, which was good so I can control the amount of it. The salsa roja was a little spicy and had a nice smokiness to it. The torta was also delicious since it had the same meat as the taco and it was big! I will come back again and order other stuff. I only wish I took proper photos, I was just so hungry!

I've tried their tacos, flautas, tortas, made-to-order guac.... all very well made. If you eat in, they serve you chips and salsa (fresh).

I wanted to update my review. I still stand by what I said before -- the food is good. The handmade…read moretortillas and the flor de calabaza quesadilla are still my favorite. However, lately I've noticed that the flavor has slightly gone down, and sometimes, like others have mentioned, the food can be a bit greasy. That said, I'm keeping my 4-star rating because the food is still enjoyable But for cleanliness, I'd give them a 3.5 What really needs attention now is the cleanliness of the place. The dining area could use some care, but the bathroom was especially bad. The smell was awful, like the trash hasn't been taken out in days. They even placed a large bin in there, maybe to avoid emptying it often -- but it just made things worse. I'm writing this hoping it brings awareness. People might start walking away if this continues, and I've noticed more reviews pointing out the same issues. I truly hope they take action because the food deserves a better environment.

It was empty tonight because of the heat wave but pleasantly cool inside. Friendly staff and they prepped our plates FAST! My tacos were so piping hot that I couldn't hold them at first and started by eating the birria with a fork! I wish the rice and beans were more flavorful but the rojo hot salsa was great! (They offer you red or green). Lots of tv screens were playing some kind of Mario Kart movie with the sound off, which was funny since there weren't any families or kids present. We enjoyed perusing La Nueva Voz,, the local Pomona newspaper, and discussing local events.
