outside seating

My partner and I enjoyed a dine in experience at mariscos la tropicana although it's not a huge dine in establishment, they do offer outside seating to accommodate customers. We ordered augachiles with mango. we ordered lemonade and mango aguas. the service was quick we sat down and were handed our beverages within 5 minutes and then our food arrived shortly after! it was such a good meal. i can't wait to come back!

I came in wanting a healthy juice & seafood cocktail. Bruv, the hype is real! From the moment that I stepped in, I was warmly welcomed. Immediately, I was shocked by just how clean, organized, & beautifullu painted it is inside. That was just the start of my visit. Then, my food came & oh man, it is soooo good! Seriously, I know that I'm going to crave this again. 10/10! I will definitely come back & recommend this place 100%! =^_^=

This was my fam's go to spot for ceviche, however after our experience today, I sadly announce that we have decided to never come back here again. Back story on what happened, my sister called in for her usual cooked shrimp tostadas and a few other items. Upon coming back home, we notice that the shrimp was raw so she called back telling them that she had originally asked for cooked shrimp not raw. They blamed it on my sister saying that they had "curtido" (raw in Spanish) written for the order but my sister had actually asked for "cocido" (cooked) ones. They eventually told her to go back to the store so that they can replace them, but when my sister got there, they didn't even apologize and looked upset. We got back home for the second time, and we notice that not only was some of the shrimp still raw but they didn't even add any sauce!!! Like what the hell is ceviche without the sauce?? It's like asking for a boba milk tea without the tea lol. Moral of the story: if you're gonna offer your customers options for raw or cooked shrimp, please do so. Not everyone wants to play Russian roulette for parasites from eating raw shrimp...

Tostada Mixta

i understand inflation but jesus what is this. I haven't been here in a couple months but I ordered a tostada mixta that used to be amazing and now the portion was ridiculously small and tasted gross. probably never coming back specially for the new price and less food ?

I was in the Baldwin Park area waiting for my car to finish from a shop and as I was scrolling through yelp found this really small mom and pop hole in the wall shop. I was intrigued by its various reviews on cheap ceviche and they had everything from mexican snacks, milk shakes, raspados, and bebidas. They even make tostilocos- if you haven't tried it- you should! It's definitely a really small shop where you walk in and order and just wait outside until it's ready- took about 15-20 minutes for my order. Be patient with them as even though it looks like there's not a lot of people waiting- people can also make phone orders I believe. I just got a tostada mixta- came with a box of mixed seafood ceviche and three tostadas on the side. Salt, tapatio packets and lime were provided and at 8.99 for this I would say it was delicious and fresh and I would come back here for further cravings. Glad I stopped by and took a chance on this gem. May not look like much but give them a try!

Still Searching for My Perfect Commute Dinner Spot!…read more Stopped by La Cosecha Mexican Bistro for dinner, hoping I had finally found that perfect little spot to look forward to during my long commute home. Unfortunately, the search continues! First things first, BRING A JACKET! And maybe a scarf, gloves, and a heated blanket while you're at it. This place was FREEZING! I'm all for a comfortable dining atmosphere, but I wasn't expecting to have dinner inside a walk-in refrigerator. And the music? LOUD! Don't get me wrong, I love good music, but between the volume and my teeth chattering from the cold, I could barely hear the person sitting next to me. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the chilaquiles, which came with a $30 price tag. For that price, I was expecting a little Mexican magic on my plate. Instead, I got something that tasted more like tortilla chips covered in plain tomato sauce. Bland, underwhelming, and definitely not worth the price. I really wanted to love this place, especially since it's conveniently located along my commute. But between the Arctic temperatures, nightclub-level music, and expensive, flavorless food, I left disappointed. The verdict: I came looking for my new favorite dinner spot and left looking for my car heater. The hunt for my perfect commute restaurant continues!

I don't know why this was my first time visiting Pepe's, there is a location in Alhambra that's been there forever and really close to where my parents live, but I never went there for whatever reason. But I'm really happy with my first visit at Pepe's. Prices are fair for what you get ($10 for the breakfast burrito) and the lady at the register was really helpful in accommodating my request for a modified burrito. I loved reading the history of the company and the owners on the wall while we waited for our food. The burritos were HUGE, hearty and tasty! The lady gave me a bunch of salsas to try and they were all good. I was totally satisfied with my meal! I didn't know until after I paid and saw my receipt that there is a credit card processing fee.

A song of praises for a burrito I was planning to eat in my car. I'm a relatively skilled in-car-while-driving-including-managing-per-bite-salsa-dollops person. But as you can see from exhibit A below, only a true master would attempt the feat of eating what I received in-car-while-driving-including-managing-per-bite-salsa-dollops. Like maybe Booger (Nerds). I do think it was mildly unacceptable to give me the burrito in this condition. When I was able to safely eat it at my desk 40 minutes later, it was good. But I won't sing yet. I'll save it for the mulligan.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

We ordered a total of five tacos with different meats. The chicken tacos were a bit too dry. The fish tacos and the carnitas tacos were good. Overall I think the food is average. But this place has a nice lively atmosphere. It's a good place to meet up with friends.

We were seated promptly by the hostess and our server came quickly to get our drinks. He was nice and checked in on us often and took plates away. The only thing I wouldn't order again is probably the mango michelada. My boyfriend and I love michis! But hmmm the mango tasted like mango which is accurate but for some reason it just didn't really work well with the taste of a michelada. I would just order a regular one next time! Just because we didnt like it, doesn't mean you wont or shouldn't try! Anyways, the food was fresh and good! I just kept eating the fresh tortillas haha they were absolutely delicious. Ummm their caldo de res ?! Amazing. Got like four servings haha couldn't help myself. I personally just love a shit ton of cilantro and onions on my plate so it was really nice they had a salsa bar next to the soups. My boyfriend liked the breakfast bar they had as well which I think stops at a certain time! They had a lot of different things and I loved that! The only thing that was sort of awkward but funny was this girl randomly came up out of nowhere while we were eating and asked us to get closer so she could take a photo for us. We were kind of like huh? Haha because we were in the middle of eating so I wasn't really wanting to take a photo at that time. But we just went with it and smiled and then she took a couple more and then she said ok I'll be right back. And then maybe like 10 min later she comes back with one smaller photo with the border being Guadalajara's grill like location and times and stuff and us in the middle HAHA and then says that's for us and it's free and then takes out two more bigger ones of us that are just in like a felt frame, which was nice but said these cost like can't remember how much it was. But it was enough for me to say no hahaha and also I think we were both just caught off guard and when we said no thank you, she sort of looked up at someone (almost like signaling them that we said no) and gave a smirk and walked away HAHAH it was so awkward and weird but when I opened my purse later and found it I started laughing bc it just created a funny moment and memory. Anyways this place is good, seems hit or miss but definitely should be tried at least once! Very fresh and good, service is fast and attentive! This is probably the cheapest lunch buffet I've had and it was definitely worth it!
