    Michelada not worth the price
    Mayra M.

    This was my first time coming here, and I wanted to try a new Mariscos spot. I regret it. I originally wanted camarones a la Diabla, which is not on the menu. Then I asked for camarones a la chucaracha but it doesn't come with rice is more like an appetizer didn't want that. So I just ended up getting the cocktail De camarones. First impressions count this doesn't look too good beside that has no flavor whatsoever completely disappointed. The michelada so not worth it.

    We were a party of 5, and I got to sample a little bit from everyone's plate. We got a dozen oysters, aguachiles with shrimp and scallops, mojarra, rib eye steak, shrimp ceviche, and guacamole. Everything was delicious! The only complaints I had were that the music was too loud and they overcharged me $100. The staff is helpful and kind.

    The place is very bright makes you feel alive after a really bad hangover lol ! We felt very welcomed the customer service provided by Sofia was great! We got served right away and after ordering food we received our order after 15mins yes. The tostada mixta was sweet and had a delicious tangy taste we enjoyed every bite! I also ordered the camaron molcajete super delicious and fresh ! I highly recommend this place ! El lugar es muy luminoso y te hace sentir vivo después de una resaca muy fuerte jajaja. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos, el servicio al cliente brindado por Sofía fue excelente. Nos atendieron de inmediato y después de pedir comida recibimos nuestro pedido después de 15 minutos, sí. ¡La tostada mixta era dulce y tenía un delicioso sabor picante que disfrutamos cada bocado! ¡También pedí el molcajete de camarón súper delicioso y fresco! Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar !

    Restaurant is a descent size and they have a parking lot and available parking in the street. Our waitress was very nice and on top of it. After placing our order food came out pretty quick but after reading on the hyped reviews on the food I was not impressed. The tostada de Jaiba did taste better than it looked but still lacked flavor along with the Ceviche de Pescado (tasted too fishy) Ceviche de Camaron was good. The Coctel de Camaron was better after adding ketchup in it which the server (not waitress) looked bothered when I asked for ketchup. I hate feeling like I insult ppls food when I have to add more S&P or anything to give it more flavor but if I'm the one paying for it. Anyway.... the coctel was ok. Taco de Marlin was a win. All in all I wasn't impressed but to each there own. If you're a seafood fan like I am I say give it a try.

    Been a big fan of El Viejon since their original location was basically just a tent. The service here is always good. Food portions are always big. The tostadas they give beforehand with the mustard are great too! I really like this new location to take my brother to when he gets off of school. It's spacious and they have tvs. Can't wait to come back again.

    $12.00 for this ????

    Too expensive. Down the road at a comparable establishment tacos are $1.50 cheaper of the same size. Micheladas are $12.00!!! and they don't even have shrimps in it. Leave your card at home. Cash Only.

    Maleficio

    Callo de acha always fresh, aguachiles are delicious and the limonada mineral preparada (lemonade with mineral/club soda ice blended) just hits the spot! Always go for either the Maleficio (pictured the full dish don't mind my husbands half devoured Chalupa) or the Chalupa which is same except it also has pulpo (octopus), abulon, cucumber, and tomato Can't go wrong either one... if you love callo de acha like me, call ahead to make sure they have it so you don't get disappointed when you try to order and they're out (happens often but not often enough that would prevent me from coming, I just call first)

    El Viejon is one of my favorite places for mariscos. Both locations are excellent. Their signature taco Viejon is my favorite thing by far! My mouth waters just talking about it. Their shrimp ceviche is amazing too. I also recommend the asada tacos, shrimp taco, aguachiles and the French fries. The consome is great for a hangover. Don't forget it's cash only!

We came back today and they don't have AC inside so during this heat wave it's pretty brutal because the cooking makes the inside 10x hotter and they only have fans blowing. When we walked in no one greeted us or told us we can sit down anywhere so we just kind of sat at a table and the server took a long time to come to us to give us the menu. She came to us after about 15 mins and she didn't say a single word to us so it was awkward ordering and she also didn't ask us if we wanted anything to drink. The service wasn't the best but the food is really good. Great flavors and food comes out hot. The food is honestly really good even the chips and salsa they give to you as a small appetizer. I just wish the service was more consistent as it would add more to this business.

    El Sinaloense in Paramount is definitely a spot I can highly recommend for delicious mariscos and…read moreauthentic Sinaloa-style food! The oysters preparados were my absolute favorite -- 10/10! Super fresh, loaded, and jam-packed with flavor. The tacos gobernadores were another 10/10: cheesy, savory, with perfectly tender shrimp. I also tried Sinaloa-style machaca for the first time, served with refried beans and queso fresco. It was a little on the drier side, but still delicious and packed with veggies. The camarones a la diabla had such a flavorful sauce without being overly spicy, served with rice, beans, and flour tortillas. And of course, their tasty micheladas paired perfectly with everything! Definitely check out El Sinaloense and thank me later! One waitress was a lil rude passive aggressive but the next 1 that actually took care of us was very attentive , friendly and helpful. Its a casual family friendly restaurant. #ElSinaloense #ParamountCA #SinaloaStyle #Mariscos #LAEats #FoodieFinds #SoCalFoodie #MexicanFood #Annette7LA

We actually asked for one of the dishes to be replaced, thinking maybe it was just a bad batch, but the replacement came out just as salty as the first one. At that point, there wasn't much we could do. The chefs gotta lay off the salt And the water... I honestly don't know what happened there, but it tasted like I was drinking straight from a water hose attached to the la river bed . I've had better-tasting water in Mexico. The meals were also way overpriced for the quality and quantity we received. As someone who genuinely appreciates Mexican food, this experience was especially disappointing. I'm sorry, but based on what I was served, I just can't consider this genuine Mexican food. I can't recommend this place If you're hungry and looking for a good Mexican meal, I'd suggest searching for another place and skipping this one.

Young guy talking about his $12 Taco lunch boxes, wet burrito, loaded twister fried and more... So like any good foodie I had to check them out because the hard shell tacos looked fabulous and fabulous tacos is a must!! Quick trip to Bellflower and were there i was lucky because there were only a few people there when we arrived, but once I stepped in line I swear 20 people showed up LOL!!! The wife wanted the Taquitos Loaded with a Large Pepino Aguafresca, I ordered the hardshell taco plate and Large Jamica the taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. For my meats I chose Asada, Al Pastor, and Caritas. Hands down the Caritas and Al Pastor are the way to go so much flavor in both, rhe snap from the taco shells perfect. Seating is around both sides of rhe building if you cant wait to eat... The Aguafresca was sweeter than I'm used to but nothing ice and thin out. Overall the food was Bomb and service with a smile.. Next visit will be the Loaded Twisted Fries & Wet Burrito this should feed my family of 4 Hahaha!!!

Either they went on a bad day or I went on a great day! Right now I'm going to claim this is my favorite wet burrito.. so flavorful! But I'll try it again in the future and see if it stands by it's flavor. If it doesn't.. I'll update ;) Did I mention how HUGE this is?? 2 people have been eating it and it's 75% gone lol

If it weren't for the very loud music playing, I would not have known this was a Mexican restaurant. We ordered Fish and Shrimp Ceviche tostadas, but it was ok not the best I ever had. Tostadas had more Cucumbers and Tomatoes than Fish or Shrimp, and to make it worse, it was soaked in some kind of unidentifiable watery juice which made the hard Tostada soggy. What prompts M E Perihuete to soak a hard Tostada shell with water? unbelievable! The Chilaquiles were bad. They were so spicy I could not taste my food. Overall, the service was bad the lady who served us was busy laughing and giggling with the male customers instead of attending to her tables. I have to say the obvious about the waitresses here, to be as nice as I can put it, their lips stand out as plungers, the chest, and behind well, so obvious they were not normal... The service was bad and the food was not the best. Pricey. Plenty of parking.
