Located in South Gate is this hidden gem, hidden quite literally as it is in a little plaza in the middle of one big neighborhood. Had to bring my mother here to try this spot out as she is always looking for comfort Sinaloense food. The menu is big and carries from breakfast, hot / cold seafood bar, Mexican sushi, and traditional dishes. Macaha con verdura y frijoles p puercos is a must and a staple in Sinaloa and here is was 10/10 read more

My sister-in-law treated me to a fried sushi plate, and I was pleasantly surprised by how generous the portion was. The sushi roll itself was honestly pretty good, crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. One suggestion I'd make to elevate the dish would be to cook the chile güero a bit more. It was slightly firmer than I've had at other places, and a softer texture would make each bite more enjoyable. A touch more sauce would also bring the whole plate together beautifully. read more

Mariscos Mi Compa Guero - Seafood Near Me - South Gate, California

Stopped back to check out Mi Compa Guero after my dad found this place on social media. It did not disappoint, the rich flavors in the authentic Sinaloense flavor is definitely worth trying. There are so many different Mariscos options and sushi. The service was so warm and welcoming making you feel right at home. The ambiance is casual making it a lunch spot or a family restaurant. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Definitely authentic Sinaloa food. The menudo is delicious good portions and hand made tortillas. The machaca was delicious, you will not be disappointed. I love that this is a family owned restaurant and they're very friendly and attentive. read more

Authentic Sinaloense flavor hit's like home!! The Tortillas are made home made the aguas frescas are amazing and every dish is just made with love read more

Awful, awful, awful there were flies inside the restaurant and I ordered a machaca breakfast with frijoles puercos shown in the menu. There were no frijoles puercos on the dish and the machaca was very salty. The place looked scary and not very clean not a good experience at all. I remember mariscos el perihute served much better food. read more

Very disappointing breakfast. The chilaquiles had no flavor and were really dry. The carne asada that came with it was raw, and to make things worse, the staff was extremely unfriendly, Definitely not coming back. El desayuno fue muy decepcionante. Los chilaquiles no tenían sabor y estaban muy secos. La carne asada que venía con el platillo estaba cruda, y para terminar , El personal fue poco amable. Definitivamente no regresaré. read more

Mariscos Mi Compa Guero - Seafood Near Me - South Gate, California

Never again will I come here--horrible customer service. We were not greeted by a host and had to find a waitress ourselves just to be seated. When we were finally seated, the table hadn't even been cleaned. Another customer who arrived after us was seated and attended to right away. When I told the waitress that we had been there first, she responded, "That's not my table." When our actual waitress finally came to take our order, we still had to wait a long time for the food. Meanwhile, another family walked in, was seated immediately, and received prompt service. That was the last straw. As we walked out, I told the owner how unprofessional the waitress was and that someone like her should be fired. read more

Food - not really good the empanadas were super grease and they kind of smell I guess the cheese and the shrimp made them smell not bad but not appetizing. The carne azada torta was a disaster, I asked what kind of meat they use for the tortas and I was told me "the meat already comes cut) so to me it means that is from a bag and it was also salty also when I was trying to eat it the bread was soggy and it end up all over my fries. My husband had a carne tamale said it was really good, tostada and a sope according to him they were ok. Service- there's not really a server per table I guess whom ever is available will assist. Ambiance- NOT really welcoming, I'm not sure how long have they been open it's a very simple place(I'm adding a video) The chairs look not confortable at all. If you happen to go ask for a booth seating. I won't return to this place read more

Cuando me di cuenta que vendían tamales Sinaloenses fui a comprar y me encararon pero esta vez no estaban cocidos bien las verduras estaban duras y la masa aguada voy a ir otra vez para la próxima semana pero más tarde porque fui como a las 9:30 casi cuando abrieron. read more

Zero recomendado, tardan demasiaaadoooo para atenderte, ridiculo que solo alla 2 meseras para todo el restaurante, la comida no save absolutamente a nadaaaaaaaa...! Las aguas de sabor "abiertas, llenas de pelusa" y zero higiene en el restaurante. Mi familia y yo pasamos una desagradable experiencia. Puro cuento de Tiktok y Instagram. No gasten su dinero aquiiii read more

We went to this restaurant based on the ad on tic tok and what a mistake. The fish from the ceviche tasted horrible. The fish was spoiled smelled like fish when its gone bad. They brought out another one didn't smell but tasted salty. This place is called Mariscos el compa huero but they need to improve. The machaca was burnt and very chewy this place was truly a waste of money. The service was very slow. The only thing that was good the tortillas and beans. I will never return. I had seen the bad reviews and went since my wife was craving food from Sinaloa.BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!this place has a wide selection and can't focus on specific items. Sinaloa has great food and this place truly does not meet the expectation. Please listen to the reviews. Don't go by what you see on tic tok!!!! Such a shame due to having such other options in the area!!! read more

Better Service, Sundays are probably the worst days to come. Literally was there for a total of 1.30 hour just for small plates.

The food is pretty good. What I didn't like was the rice. It was very hard, even got stuck in between my teeth. The service was okay not very welcoming but did come and check on us. The ambience is okay, would I come back? Probably not. read more

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING i went to eat with my husband since we seen this place all over tiktok, we saw how the waitress picked up a basket of chips from a dirty table & took the same chips to another table that was just coming in. That is absolutely not sanitary! Just be on the look out when you eat here ! Food & service is just ok ! read more

The restaurant and its owners are trying to bank on the old Perihuete customers. Except the quality and quantity has gone way down. The ceviche has very little shrimp, the shrimp quesadilla was burnt and had like 3 total shrimps, beans and rice in the to go containers is like 1/4 full. Raising prices and lowering quality and quality is a no go for me. We were given 1 lime for a 4 person order. When asked for more we were given a lecture on how expensive limes are and we're lucky to be given just one. Prices are ridiculously high for what your given and the location. We are now charged 4% for card transactions? That's insane, if you want to turn it into a cash business just say so. The sever/host/maybe co-owner is very rude. If someone asks for something or comments on the food she begins to argue with customers. The food just isn't as good as it once was. I give this new place multiples tries and every time it was all bad. Sad to say avoid this place. I rarely give 1 star but ppl shouldn't spend their hard earned money here. read more
