First time here and I gotta say, simply AMAZING. The service, the food, the drinks, all incredible. Had the shrimp enchiladas and a pina colada. Yolanda was our waitress and she went above and beyond with our service. After our meal, we discovered she's been working here over 10 years. I will definitely be coming back here again. I haven't had good food and service like this in such a long time. And they were completely Covid compliant. Thank you Yolanda and thank you Mariscos Los Arcos!!! read more

Mariscos Los Arcos - Parrillada de mariscos - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I was here on 03/29 with a party of 7 and Yolanda our server did an amazing job tending to us! She had the best customer service I have ever received from a restaurant, and the rest of the people whom I came with thought the same. From beginning to end she was attentive, prompt with our orders, and very professional. Yolanda is the reason why some of the people from our dinner decided to go back a week later and happy she was there again to serve them. We all had delicious food and she brought out flan and ice cream for dessert. Los Arcos did an amazing job hiring someone like Yolanda! Thank you for our great dining experience! read more

I went with the boys from work. We wanted oysters and beers. The waiter was friendly but very pushy on buying these specific shrimps that we didn't want it. It was a little suspicious at first. We get the oysters and beers. My friend said he was full so I ate about 5 oysters. We leave and I started feeling nauseous and fever like chills. After a brutal 3 days I was feeling severe pain on my abdomen and bloating. I had to go to the hospital the next day and turns out I had bacteria in my stomach from something I ate. This was my last meal before these symptoms. My friend also became sick and notified me at work. The waiter was friendly however I feel like she knew the oysters were bad and wanted us to buy something else. read more

Sunday early afternoon: service was on par, friendly quick, never had to look over my shoulder to find someone. With in minutes of sitting and the "welcome" stuff started coming: tortilla chips, crispy not stale, not too oily right amount of salt sprinkles. With a pico de Gallo with a descent kick, most pico de Gallo's I get for me are lacking a good kick. It also looked pretty fresh and small tiny bowls of sea food soup the ingredients were chopped pretty small but had the consistency of clams, not bad the soup hit the spot. All this before ordering. Then came the micheladas they were on the lighter side you're tasting more beer than Clamato juice not bad but I've had better with additional spices Maggie sauce etc Small Mixed cold sea food platter had shrimp octopus and abalone. But the abalone was not the real deal, not sure what it was chewy consistency sea food tasting, I've had my fair share of abalone since the 70s when we would dive off the local coast and pull them out like weeds (good old days) this was bolonie abalone! Lol Seviche tostadas on par good, nothing to write home about but worth it and would order again. The shrimp and octopus cocktail also pretty typical all veggies very finely chopped so the meats stand out. It would be nice if they had some real picante habanero sauce etc some of us eat this stuff Yucatán style. So you get the topical assortment of over the counter hot sauces tapatio etc etc Boring for us. There was a fish burrito also ordered the comment I got from that was it was sort of dry and not much fun to eat. Couple of large TVs playing movies so not much talking going on haha everyone was watching a movie and eating. Not my thing but I can see where others would enjoy that. All and all it's alright, but it's not gonna be good enough to call me back from 8 miles away. I have other stuff at the same level around me. read more

Whenever you are craving Mexican seafood, this is the place. The food is always freshly made, tasty and portions are very generous. There is a good selection, whether you want something grilled, cooked or a soup, they have it here. My favorite dish is the Mariscada which is full of flavor. There is also great customer service on regular days. It can sometimes get very busy but I recommend you be patient because the food is worth it. The owner likes to greet its customers and wants to assure you are well taken care of. Don't think twice and give this place a try. read more

The service is amazing here. The waitresses are constantly checking up on you and making sure you have everything you need. They are very friendly.

As soon as you walk in, everyone is so friendly. I've been here like 3 times with my boyfriend and the staff is amazing. They come and greet you and converse with you (just the right amount) their service is fast and accurate. They start you off with chips and pico de gallo as well as a warm delicious soup! The soup is great if you're hungover lol. They have all gender restroom which I find great . They also have a 3 drink limit (alcoholic beverage) which I find great because I have been to restaurants where people go to get drunk. Los Arcos is a family friendly restaurant. We were just there on Sunday. Thank you everyone for the great service . read more

Food and service were both really good. We came for dinner because we were craving some goos Mexican food. From the beginning the service was polite and attentive. The langostino appetizer, shrimp and enchiladas were all very tasty. We will be coming here again soon. read more

Best Ceviche de Pescado in the Valley!!! I've been coming to this restaurant for years now and their fish ceviche never disappoints!! It's always fresh and seasoned perfectly it actually has flavor not bland and dry like so many other places. The portions are also generous. Their micheladas are usually on point as well. If you're looking for high quality delicious fish ceviche come here you will not regret it. Customer service is always good here too. read more

Usually love this spot but tonight we ordered take out and the fajitas were awful. They forgot o put cheese on them and the shrimp were over cooked. I called 5 min after we got home (15 min before close) and they didn't answer. I didn't want to remake the fajitas, I just wanted to come back and get the missing cheese. So I hopped in the car and went back and the doors were locked (10 min before close) so I paid $18 plus tip for crappy overcooked shrimp with no cheese. read more

My favorite seafood place to eat after a long night of partying !! Lol They start you off with this soup that is so delicious and warm. My favorite dish here would probably have to be the tostadas de camaron or the aguachiles. So good! and if you accompany your food with their micheladas you're set! The service here is beyond amazing from the moment you arrive to the moment you sing the bill. I highly recommend this place to anyone that loves seafood. The food and the staff are amazing read more

Very good ceviche! Ordered the tostada de ceviche de pescado, and also ordered the tostada de ceviche de camarones. Both were delicious and came with a small cup of consome and chips with (good) salsa. Service was excellent!! However I should say, I sat down right at opening so I was the only person there. They had "Hitman" playing on one of the TV's -- much appreciated. Will return when I'm back around the area. Give them a try! read more

Summary: great place! Loved the food and service, would definitely recommend! It hit the spot when I was craving mariscos. Let me paint a picture for you all. It was a Monday afternoon following my return from a mini vacation. I had been craving seafood pretty much the whole week and hadn't gotten a chance to satisfy my craving. I didn't want that fancy seafood though, like pan seared halibut or whatever it is they have at the five star Restaurants. No, I wanted the deliciousness that can only come from the "ghetto" Mexican marisco places. These such places, however, are a rare commodity in the area surrounding UCLA (where I go to school), at least to my knowledge. Seeing how I wouldn't be back in Long Beach for a while and my taste buds were longing for these exquisite flavors, I looked to Yelp for some guidance. Most of the places that came up were farther or in more trafficked areas than I would have liked, but I was determined. As I was on the verge of giving up, I came across this little gem. I knew the type of place I was looking for wouldn't have amazing ratings-- or even that many for that matter. I looked at the pictures and a few reviews and decided I would try it out the next day after my classes. Of course, I dragged my boyfriend (another seafood aficionado) with me. It was about 1 PM when we made our way up here. Luckily, we encountered no traffic and got here in less than 20 minutes. To me, this was a sign from the gods that it was meant to be. We found this place easily and found parking in the adjoining lot. Clearly, we are not used to going to these types of places anymore because we were waiting to be seated when we were supposed to seat ourselves. Regardless, we were attended to quickly and with great service. The lady serving us was very nice and attentive. She spoke to us in Spanish, which I thought was nice. There weren't too many people there at the time so I'm not sure if the service would change later in the day. Either way, I was satisfied. We ordered half a dozen oysters and some scallops and shrimp in an aguachile style. Soooo yummy! This alone would have satisfied me. Also, they give complimentary chips and salsa as well as a small bowl of soup, which are also very tasty. I ordered a coctel campechana which has mixed seafood inside (oysters, shrimp, scallops, octopus). It was VERY good. I added some salt, chile, and lime to mine which made it exactly to my liking. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp cocktail which he also enjoyed. He also ordered a michelada which he said was good. I didn't taste it but it looked yummy. I stuck to my horchata, which was great. The place was kept clean, including the bathrooms. There were also TVs showing a soccer game and some Mexican music videos. The decorations were nice. Overall, it was a great experience for both of us. I would definitely recommend this place. We will probably be coming here at another time when we need to satisfy out marisco craving. read more

Mariscos Los Arcos - Delicious coctel campechana. - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

TRUE Mexican restaurant! They give you soup before your entree (along with a lime), they have HANDMADE tortillas, and they have four different chile bottles - including Porki, not Tabasco. We received wonderful service: the lady refilled our chips and salsa, she checked up on us several times, she refilled the ice cubes so our waters would remain cold, and it was at 9:30 pm! The seafood was amazingly delicious. My party tried the campechanas (which come with TWO oysters), the tostadas, aguachiles, camarones a la parrilla, and their filete. None of us were disappointed. They had an impressive array of options such as callo de hacha, aguachiles, tostada de pulpo, tostada de ceviche de camaron, coctel de ostiones, salmon ahumado, etc. If you live around the area, you should definitely check this place out. read more

Came here last night for dinner and it was so good. This was my third time here and each time it hasn't disappointed. Last nights order was Lengua Ranchera, a Toastada with Pescado, and horchata. When you first sit down, they offer you chips, salsa, fresh chile and a small bowl of soup (on the house). The chile is SPICYYYYY!! And I'm thai and mexican. So spice is not a foreign thing. Delicious, but go easy on it. The horchata was ooookay. That's honestly the only reason I'm giving it one less star. I feel like it was either the bottom of the barrel and wasn't mixed before it was served. The Lengua Ranchera and Toastada was BOMBBBB. The serving for the Lengua was from a combination so it was quite large. Had enough for lunch the next day. Service was very good. Quick and easy. Combing back again! read more

All five stars for this restaurant!!! Me and my sister were looking for a place to enjoy oysters and we came across this restaurant and OMG! Mariscos Los Arcos won us over! Great service and great quality food! See you guys soon! read more

Amazing service! Very hospitable, feels like you're in Mexico. The owner always comes by every table asking how everything's going - he's never missed anytime I've gone. Good place for Mexican seafood. You get a seafood soup as soon as you sit down. Micheladas are huge! read more

I LOVE this place! Not only is the food delicious but the portions are HUGE! Of course, I may be a bit biased since this is my friend's family's restaurant. The first time I came here, I tried Camarones Ahogados. It was delicious! A seafood mix with bit of spiciness to give it a kick and avocados and tortillas on the side, I kept helping myself to more till I was stuffed. They have two locations, one in Van Nuys and the other one in Canoga Park. I wish they had a restaurant up here in the NorCal area. I've made it a tradition with my friends to come here every time we're in LA area. read more

The seafood burrito here can be compared to the size of a small baby. It took me 3 passes to finally finish this monstrosity of deliciousness and it was just as good each time around. This burrito, probably made for mythical giants, being a few inches longer than my utensils, had a great amount of seafood in it. Scallops, abalone, octopus, whole shrimp, etc=YUM. The burrito was also wrapped with rice and beans, topped with a sauce of deliciousness, and sprinkled with cheese. Definitely a decent price considering the size of the thing. I'd definitely order the seafood burrito again, but I think I'd regret not being able to try their other menu items! My mom got the tilapia plate. A whole fish was served halved and grilled and came with a side salad, fries, rice, and homemade tortillas. Her dish was also amazing and she had plenty to take home after. We were surprised by the affordability of this place and were able to take a lot of the leftover food home. Service was pretty good also. It seems like it's a one woman show out on the floor, but she was great and attentive. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out, but stay away from the salsas if you're not a fan of spicy! read more

Went for dinner with my mom last night and it was such a great experience. The atmosphere was perfect for lunch or dinner and I think it would be a great place for dinner with friends on a weekend although I went on a weeknight. The staff and the owner were so friendly and iwas amazed that he actually came to our table and welcomed us. It showed how much love and pride he puts into his business. I had a burrito mojado with carne asada and my mom got the grilled tilapia. Both were good and the price was great. Although the grilled tilapia was so good we felt like it was worth was more than the price :) I'll definitely be going back soon! read more

Mariscos Los Arcos - Coctel De Camarones - Mexican Near Me - Van Nuys, California

We really wanted to love this place. It's close to home and they have the kind of seafood that my wife and I love. Unfortunately, the service is quite slow. The complimentary chips and salsa arrived quickly after we were sat down, but a solid 10-15 minutes went by without anyone even taking a drink order. The food portions are quite large considering what is being charged. We ordered a dozen oysters, a campechana, and camarones a la diabla, comfort food on a hot day. We ordered a michelada and I forgot the name of the other drink that comes in a clay looking pot. Food and drink quality is acceptable. It was a little hard getting the check when we wanted to leave. We had to flag someone down as no one was stopping at our table to see if needed anything else. If the service here can step it up a notch, it would be a decent restaurant. read more

Big 5 stars for this awesome seafood restaurant. The service was top notch. I had been trying to find a good place that served fresh oysters for a decent price. But everywhere we went they either only sold half a dozen for like almost $15. But man this place was so yummy. The ceviche tostadas were so delish. The owner himself came over to make sure all was great and had a nice conversation about fishing. It was comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend This seafood restaurant. Everything is fresh and served with a smile. Keep doing what your doing cause its working :) see you all very soon lol or next paycheck hahaha read more

I love this spot! Use to work nearby prior to covid and would come here for lunch all the time. Service was always good and food was delicious every single time.

They included plenty of limes, crackers, tapatio, salsa and chips. I was very pleased. This is my favorite sea food spot! read more
