Cash only Or Zelle - that shouldn't stop you from coming to this Mariscos spot. Stopped in on a Tuesday and there were several bands waiting to Come in to perform. The food and service is great! Had the tostada and the whole fish. Everything is flavorful you won't be disappointed
I've been coming to Mariscos Martin since the '90s, and it's still one of my go-to spots. You have to try the Camarones Sarandeados, they are perfectly grilled butterflied shrimp with a delicious marinade. This plate comes with the aceite de chile is very spicy, so a few drops go a long way! Another must-try is the Tostada de Camarón, which is always fresh and flavorful. The restaurant itself had a minor renovation about 10 years ago and could probably use a bit of updating, but honestly, the food is the main reason you come here. Service is consistently great the waitresses are always busy but do their best to take care of you quickly. One small downside is the walk-in musicians, which can get pretty loud and a bit overwhelming at times. Still, this place remains a family favorite and is definitely worth a visit.
Marvelous Mariscos Martin in La Puente. Loved the service, but brush up on your high school Spanish or research items on the menu before you go in, I had a wonderful server that was very patient in explaining the dishes, I loved every bit of my selection "Filete Sarandeando" absolutely a marvelous Mariscos Martin house specialty, i had an octopus appetizer listed under tostadas. It's located in a commercial district and every parking space was taken, we parked a couple of blocks down the street but it was beautiful day for a walk! There was a line out the door on Sunday at 3:00 pm!! There's a sign of good food! A waitlist is on the counter so sign your name as soon as you arrive, and it's a cash only restaurant, so come prepared because it's definitely worth the visit. It's a small brightly colored dining room with a hum of a successful business, from our seats we watched as servers prepped the lemons on the bar. I thought it was a wonderful value for the meal we enjoyed. My dish was perfectly seasoned, she did give me a small dish with some type of seasoning but it knocked my socks off:-) Our good friends told us about this restaurant, and they were absolutely right!
Hadnt been here in over 8 years but its still delicious. Had the camarones zarandeados and they were fire. The shrimp were huge and perfectly cooked. The chili oil they give you is spicy and compliments the shrimp really well. The beans were flavorful and the rice was great. Customer service was on point.
My Mexican friend's mother brought us here for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We waited for maybe 15-20 minutes, since it was packed inside. But I feel like taking it to-go would be a bit more practical since it was a little too loud and lively for me. I tried the shrimp tostada and enjoyed it. It was probably one of the healthiest meals I've had eating out. I liked how they had multiple hot sauces on the table and complimentary tortilla chips with salsa. The tostada was also multi-grain, which was so yummy. My friend ordered one of the mixed seafood things, and I loved the octopus. They have one of those jukeboxes inside where you can pay to listen to a song, but the restaurant itself had music playing inside. It appears they also stopped having a band perform live music on the weekends. Also, payments are only accepted through cash or Zelle!
Our second time here, both times were FANTASTIC!!!!!! First off, the Micheladas con clamato are made with love. They are so delicious. We ordered a parrillada de mariscos and were warned it was huge lol and yes!!!! It was HUGE! It could feed 5 to 6 people easily, I feel like the picture on the menu didn't so it justice. There was 3 types of shrimp, 3 types of fish, octopus, and crab legs. It was ALL seafood, no filler underneath. It came with a side of rice with a pig face lol the shrimp stew was so tasty. Definitely my new favorite mariscos spot. The staff were also wonderful, sweet ladies work here.
The fish and their spicy oil are the star here. Together they are what foodie dreams are made of. We originally came here out of a personal recommendation and I've been back many times, to this location and their other location (the other one has better beans). The thing to get is their fish and the chili oil, which is so spicy and addictive. I once ordered their shrimp and it was not worth it. The fish is always perfectly cooked, moist, never fishy, and well seasoned. The service always is friendly and welcoming despite the language barrier. Cash only, tight parking lot.
La parrillada de mariscos! WOW For the price, you cannot go wrong. $100 will feed 8 people maybe more.
They serve the aguachiles here WARM.. NO AVOCADO and if you want a side of avocado its $10 TEN dollars!!! The ladies who work here don't give the best service and you will wait very long to order your food and long to receive your food/ get the waitress attention. The ambiance is only nice when the musicos are playing music. There are also so many flies inside of the restaurant!
Hands down, the BEST fish plate I've ever had in my entire life! I don't even know how to describe the spices they use,it's like a flavor explosion that you just can't find anywhere else. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, just perfect all around. The vibe at Mariscos Martin makes the experience even better. They've got music playing, the environment is upbeat and fun, and every staff member I interacted with was super friendly and welcoming. You can really tell they care about both the food and the people. If you're even thinking about seafood, do yourself a favor and come here. I'm already planning my next visit!
CASH Only A huge plate of chips greets you upon seating. We both ordered the house speciality, pescado sarendero and shrimp sarendero 50/50 plate. Ask for this 50-50, as it's off menu. It difficult to find restaurants that serve this dish. The fish was so tender but the shrimp were overcooked, but had delicious flavor from the spices. This dish comes with a demon hot chili oil on the side. Their rice and beans are really good. Flavoring spices used are amazing. We went for an early Thursday dinner and it was mostly full. This place is very popular with strolling musicians who will take requests for donations. Parking is really tight.
When you walk in the door, the counter on the left is for paying and checking in. Write your name down and wait to be called. Or, you can walk to the back and sit at the bar and have a drink. After my name was called, my wife and I got seated and asked for our drink order right away. We were brought out chips and salsa as well as a house-made oily sauce. Their secret sauce is super delicious, on anything! It's like the fried chili crisp but blended smoother with some additional seasoning. Put it on the salsa and eat it with the chips, yum! We ordered shrimp tostada and it came right away, it was the perfect appetizer, and it's quite huge too! Roughly 8" round and about 4" tall. I ordered the fish plate, and my wife ordered the shrimp plate. Her shrimp plate had lots of shrimps. They tasted ok, but like it was missing seasoning or it was light on it. Lots of flavor on the shell side, but not on the flesh side. The shrimps were over-cooked too, all shells stuck on the flesh. The fish plate was the best I've ever had! Large fish filets, well-flavored and seasoned! Must-try! Make sure to order it if you're reading this! Get the fish! Filete Sarandeado. Definitely try! Must visit! Highly recommended!
This place is welcoming and it seems they remolded it. The food here is delicious! Fresh and tasty. The prices are great for the portions. The ladies are very nice. And it's also very clean.
CASH ONLY or zelle. ATM available on site, pay at the front. Great tasting seafood options; sarandeado fish, shrimps, cocktails, fried fish, ceviche tacos, etc. Limited typical Mexican bottled beers, horchata, Jamaica. Booth and table seating available. Free private limited parking lot and street parking available. The space is small so the noise gets trapped which makes the space sound very loud. It's family friendly, no pets allowed. If there are kids crying you will hear them. For music, they have touchtunes and ccasionally have live music (payper song). read more

First time having Filet Zarandeado (Red Snapper), and I am in love. It is marinated in a tomato base with garlic, soy sauce, dried chilies and worcestershire sauce. It is grilled in a wire basket over mesquite wood coals. This gives the fish a smoky flavor and orange glow. The plate was served with two large pieces of boneless fish, rice and beans ($23). I tried to "clean" my plate, but they served good portions. From the leftovers, I had fish tacos for lunch the next day. Menu highlights: - Burrito (Steak Picado) - Carne Asada (beef) -Ceviche Tostadas (shrimp), chopped chilies, diced avocado - Seafood Cocktail in tomato base with chopped chili, sliced cucumber, onion, cilantro, and diced avocado. - Street tacos (beef or fish) - Whole Tilapia - deep fried with beans and rice There are two dining rooms, each seats 40-50 customers. The fish is made to order, allow 15 minutes for a freshly grilled and marinated meal. Sincerely, Rosemary read more

Been coming to this hidden gem since I was a kid! It is still my dad's favorite restaurant to this day. When you're in the mood for Mariscos In the 626- you need to come here! They are well known for their zarandeado (fish and shrimp). All plates come with rice beans and salad. They greet you with chips and salsa. The michis are good overall a friendly family environment. Always have only taking cash but now they do take Zelle- no credit cards. That's how you know it's authentic food. read more

First time to this specific location, was in during lunch hour, was a full house and they had live Mariachis going around the tables asking to play. I had a Tostada De Ceviche Mixto and it was good. But my go to is the Baldwin Park. Servers were very nice and friendly but not too attentive specifically to our table could have been that it was cause of a busy lunch time. read more

I honestly don't Understand how people like this place. Small hole in the wall, servers aren't the friendliest or out going. Their house michelada mix is brown and wasn't very delightful. Ordered a shrim cock tail, very little flavor to the broth, shrimp over cooked and hard and not cleaned, no avocado comes with large order of shrimp cocktail . For a restaurant specializing in seafood they're are way off. read more

1st of all I love mariscos just wanted to try the place and give it a chance. It took like 10 mins for someone to give me a menu and table are just dirty. I get it if place is busy and not getting maintained but there was only 2 other people in there like come on. I ordered a tostada of camarón and one of tostada mixta, I had the Camarón one first and it was DRY, how do you dry out SHRIMP THEY LITERALLY LIVE IN THE OCEAN. No flavor. Portions are a whole lot of ZERO flavor. I didn't know where they get their shrimp but they are sooo small. This is just sad as a true MEXICANA IM DISAPPOINTED. even the water was dry and we asked for ice... the water was not it. The tostada mixta was just as horrible. PLEASE save your money and get your mariscos somewhere else!!!! I did mention it to the server and she said that is just how it comes... not good IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD read more
