This is hands down the best place for fish tacos and fresh seafood mixes. This place had an almost perfect sore for a reason. The owner here is always so welcoming and friendly and you can either done in or eat out. I have been coming here for years and the ceviche and fish tacos NEVER disappoint. Want authentic Mexican with authentic prices and hospitality, please check this place out. Top Tier food & service!!!

Jasmine B.

The food was so good, I ate here twice in one week! The first time I ate here, I got a shrimp taco, fish, taco, and a side of ceviche, and the ceviche brought me back for a second visit because of how fresh and delicious it was. I came with my friend on Friday, and the guy that helped us, walked us through the menu and was really patient with us, as everything sounded good. I ended up getting the tostadas mixtas aguachiles style, and if you add the mayo as the base, it is truly a 10/10 The restaurant is pretty spacious, and the music was perfect. I will definitely be back!

Their tacos Dorados de Camarón (Golden/Fried Shrimp Tacos) with cheese plate is super yummy and served with a bit of raw shrimp salad on the side. Service is excellent and El Jefe is very friendly! Love the family style ambiance and cleanness of this restaurant. Price is about $30 per person including drinks!

Rebecca P.

We love Pola's! Stopped by on the way home to get a shrimp ceviche and it was amazing yet again! Their prices have increased (like everywhere else) but you definitely should go! Quality food costs more and this is definitely the best quality ceviche you can get

Diablitos, Polas special late and fish tacos.

This place is INSANELY RIDICULOUS in ALL the BEST ways possible. Ridiculously FRESH, ridiculously delicious, and ridiculously worth the drive (I live in the SGV). Id give it 6 stars if I could.

Came in with my family on a Saturday afternoon, the food was delicious and the michiladas are the best! The man that made the food and took our order was very welcoming and nice. The inside was very relaxing , we highly recommend

Went in yesterday around 3:30pm place was busy was greeted with smiles and so polite I ordered a shrimp party tray have to hand it to the people working they were on it thank you for making the delicious tray it was of course a big hit for such a warm day.

This is my new Mariscos spot in Upland! Environment is great! Food is fresh and delicious, service is amazing, Hugo the owner is a nice guy! I recommend this spot to anyone looking for real Mariscos. They also have good micheladas perfect for summer time.

This place is chefs kiss! It's a small restaurant but there is plenty of seating. Everyone working here is super friendly. The food is always fresh and tastes amazing. Anything from here is great, but I highly recommend the shrimp tacos with their hot sauce. The shrimp is lightly battered and so flavorful!

Maria R.

Best menudo in Montclair! Not greasy lots of flavor and the price is reasonable. You won't be disappointed. Soooo good !!!!

Yum!!! Tasted fresh, great flavor and fun atmosphere! Definite coming back with friends. Only thing is I wish they open later on weekdays. Closing at 6 pm makes it harder for weekday dinners.

10/10 Mariscos , This is definitely a gem . Great food and great service Come check them out !

Stumbled upon this place yesterday, my boyfriend and I were in the mood for something different and with the warm weather we thought mariscos would be great! Pola's is a small family owned business which we had always driven by but yesterday we finally made it in. The owner, I believe, was so kind and grateful that we had come in he explained the menu and even let us sample a few things before we ordered. Wow! The ceviche is great and so fresh and their home made salsa is even better, so spicy. We had such a great experience and will definitely be going back soon! read more

This seafood restaurant is great! I love how fresh their seafood is! My partner is so picky about seafood and he loves this place. I order a shrimp ceviche tostada and they give me so much that I always leave so stuffed! Their menu is very simple and basic which helps. Since most of their food is already prepped in advance, you get the food pretty quickly. This restaurant is family owned and has amazing customer service! It's nice to feel like such a valuable customer in a small restaurant like this. They almost treat you like family (except you have to pay for food lol). But it's worth the money! I will definitely be returning! read more

Okay where do I start, this place is amazing. My boyfriend and I literally just left this place and couldn't wait to post a review about their food and service. I got the coctel de camaron which the price is super reasonable and the serving is perfect! I been to other places where the price and serving does not match but this is not the case at this location. They have their own house sauce which complements everything so well. Usually it's always tapatio with seafood but their house sauce is much better than tapatio with the seafood. My boyfriend got aguachiles, with a juice that is undescribable, just tasty and spicy it all hit the spot. Now the service was amazing, the owner I believe his name is Hugo I forgot lol but he treated us as if we were at his home, very welcoming and he even let us try his pescado ceviche on the house. Seriously just a good experience overall with the food and service. Definitely recommend!! read more

Overall this place is really amazing and we will definitely be back! My husband and I were in the area and enjoy trying new places to eat. First off, you walk in & the place is clean and inviting. Secondly, as we were trying to decide on what to get, we were provided with free samples of their ceviche and aguachiles which was so good and full of flavor. We eventually decided on the Campechana & Shrimp Cocktails. The presentation of the food was nice and thought out. It also was so tasty & fresh!!!! This is a family owned business that recently opened and it's clear that they take pride in their customer service and the quality of the food. The prices are affordable and overall the experience was memorable and we will definitely be coming back. Ohhh and their home made salsa is BOMB!!!! My husband and I would highly recommend this place. Only minor downside is that they don't have their liquor license YET but it's definitely worth a try :) read more

I understand prices can change, but charging for a whole extra soup when I'm just adding extras feels excessive and unfair, especially after consistently ordering the same thing for so long without any issue. It was disappointing to be treated differently after being a regular customer. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. I will not be returning especially since there's a lot more places I can order Caldo.

What made the situation worse was the customer service afterward. The young lady with green hair was snippy and dismissive instead of being helpful or apologetic. A situation like this should be handled with professionalism and care, and sadly that was not the case. I normally try to support local restaurants, but this experience was unacceptable.

I enjoyed my meal. Also, had lunch for the next day. Service was amazing, it was a busy night and they had plenty of servers. Drinks were never left empty and all employees were very content on helping all of us. In the way of ambience, this place has lots of seating indoors and a few tables outdoors. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait, depending on the time of day but well worth it. While we were there, they had several birthdays celebrated. With a little song and a little dessert.

Expect to wait cause this place is pretty popular in Covina. We waited around 35 mins which is fair being the weekend & brunch hour! They had the food buffet going on so my brothers got that (they didn't have many dessert options), my mom got the cocido soup which she enjoyed! I got the albondigas (meatballs were ground chicken) I actually liked my every much being a different kinda than what I am use too. Even warmed it up the next day for lunch at work! Still so yummy! My grandma got the cheese enchiladas which she loved. They also sang happy birthday & had the whole restaurant singing haha so that was cute & enjoyable. Recommend this spot if you're looking for delicious Mexican food!

I recently tried the shrimp and octopus campechana cocktail here, and it was absolutely delicious! Served in a beautiful glass, it was loaded with fresh ingredients--tender shrimp, perfectly cooked octopus, creamy avocado, and a mix of fresh tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that gave it a vibrant kick. The flavors were balanced and refreshing, perfect for a light but satisfying meal. The portion was generous, too, so it's definitely worth the price. Highly recommend this spot if you're craving a top-notch seafood cocktail! read more

Just recently came and ate here at polas mariscos and let me tell you. First, the service is outstanding. The ceviche has a unique taste that you can't get enough of. The tacos are a must and the micheladas wowzeerrss. In other words, stop by. You won't regret it. Thank you, polas, for the great service and food. read more
