    This place is AMAZING!! The food is DELICIOUS, perfectly prepared, and did I mention delicious?? My wife and I ordered tuna tacos, a cauliflower taco, and shrimp in red sauce and garlic. Wow! The tuna tacos were flavorful, a surprise in each bite, and very colorful The vibe here is relaxed and fun, with plenty of room to bring family and friends The ONLY minor negative was how loud the GREAT Spanish music was playing over the restaurant's overhead speakers. It was loud! Other than that issue, everything else was AMAZING, including the GREAT service offered by our waiter. Our waiter, Fernando was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Thank you for the tip-notch service. This was a very positive dining experience.

    Excellent mariscos and exceptional service. Came here on a recent weekend to dine with a friend and while the restaurant was busy, there was plenty of seating available and we were accommodated quickly. We ordered a variety of dishes from ceviche to aguachiles to sashimi and also had some tasty oyster shots. Everything was fresh and flavorful and I plan to return very soon. Parking is easy as the restaurant is located inside a medium size commercial lot with other businesses and another mariscos restaurant. There's street parking available too.

    Zarandeado Santo

    A seafood place in Pico Rivera! This place popped up on my social media platform and had me convinced, and so we came. The restaurant itself was nice, spacious, and nicely decorated. We were greeted with smiles and good service. For food, we had ceviche oceana (some spice), guacamole and chips, chapulines Del Mar, tacos gobernador, and 2 orders of zarandeado santo fish at MP which came out to $47 for one. I was really excited about this fish because this is what the foodie influencer was chowing down on. Although there was some kind of seasoning or sauce, the fish was bland. No matter what I put on it, lime, salsa, beans, rice, anything, just bland. I'm glad we tried this place but we won't be returning. I think I expected high quality, something we'd get from ports o'call but I had to remember we were in Pico Rivera. Large parking lot, good service, just okay Zarandeado for me.

    I originally saw this place on Instagram and decided to try it out with some friends. They have a separate bar area that's decorated really cute and has a different aesthetic from the main restaurant. The servers were very attentive and gave great recommendations. My friends ordered drinks (can't remember the exact names), but they had dragon fruit and watermelon flavors, super yummy. They were a little on the sweet side, so if that's your thing, you'll love them. For food, we ordered the shrimp aguachile and the sauce was delicious, we even asked for some on the side. One of our friends ordered the al mojo de ajo and said it was yummy as well. The star of the show, though, was the fish, cooked to perfection and so flavorful. Definitely will be returning!

    Found this place in Pico Rivera and I'm so glad I did. Had the aguachiles salsa morena And I must say the flavor was absolutely delicious. Server was very attentive, clean location. Service was quick . Definitely coming back to try more dishes.

    I do not recommend this place at all. The food is of poor quality, and the service was terrible. I tried to speak with someone--and they supposedly contacted the owner--but he is an ill-mannered individual. I voiced my complaint to him, specifically regarding a fish dish that cost 70; I mentioned the rice and beans, and he replied that you only get 4 ounces of each and that they are merely a courtesy from the restaurant. We will never return. You would just be throwing your money away. I do not recommend it whatsoever.

    In the mood for seafood and been wanting to come back to try other dishes. The green salsa is spicier than the red salsa, both are delicious. I ordered the shrimp in house sauce, loved it except for the salad, it was delicious, but did not seem to combined well with the other items on the dish, a side of beans and tortillas would make this dish 100% better! The ceviche was delicious. Thanks Gabby for providing good customer service.

    My husband had been wanting to try the pescado zarandeado for a while because of all the social media hype, so we were excited to finally come in. The atmosphere was great, and the service was just as good--everyone was attentive and welcoming. We started with the oyster shooters, which were flavorful . For our main dishes, my husband ordered the pescado zarandeado, and I ordered camarones a la diabla (not officially on the menu, but they were kind enough to offer, their menu offers a habanero shrimp ). Everything honestly tasted amazing, we were really impressed with the flavors and overall experience while dining. However... shortly after, we both ended up getting violently sick. We believe it may have been from the oysters . I personally spent two days with severe vomiting and an upset stomach, and it took about three days to fully recover. This is just a heads-up to the restaurant to double-check oyster sourcing and temperature handling to ensure safety. It's unfortunate because the food and service were genuinely great, but the experience afterward was really rough.

    So in a bit of a celebration a buddy and I wanted to try someplace new. I give credit to IG as I believe that is where I saw this place first. Now please forgive me, as these dishes are new to me and I wasn't sure what to order. Although overall I enjoyed everything I had. The drink was good too. I think one of the highlights was the service. The staff was very attentive and helpful answering questions. Although the ambiance was a bit loud inside, it was still comfortable. Just a little hard hearing the conversation. I would definitely try it again, and see what else is on the menu.

    Found this place on IG and decided to come for dinner on a Saturday night. There was no wait at the restaurant so my bf and I were seated immediately. The waitress gave us a menu and it was the Spanish menu which was fine because I already look beforehand on yelp on what to order. We were given some chips and salsa to eat before the food comes. We ordered the: Mixed from the sea Ceviche- 4/5, the seafood was fresh and flavorful. It was my first time eating Ceviche and I enjoyed. Zarandeado Del Nayar- This is what we came for from a video on IG. The fish was enough to feed 2-3 people. It was smoky but was very flavorful. Overall it was a good meal and we enjoyed it. The fish however was a bit pricey.

    Langostino
    Vera W.

    This place is fantastic! It has a modern, spacious vibe that makes you feel like you're dining at a high-end Mexican resort. The atmosphere is lively, with upbeat Mexicano hip-hop that makes you want to dance in your seat. Service? Absolutely top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and great at recommending dishes that truly bring your taste buds to life. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa (a great touch), then ordered the Marea Negra ceviche -- and wow. The mix of diced mango, habanero chiles, and shrimp was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Pro tip: Add a little mayo -- it takes it to the next level! The marlin tacos with Monterey cheese were incredible -- smoky, cheesy, and deeply satisfying. We also tried the langostino -- a bit overcooked, but the rich, flavorful broth it came in was amazing. Paired with rice and their handmade tortillas, it still hit all the right notes. Definitely coming back to try their signature white fish dish -- Pescado Zarandeado -- next time!

    Yvette S.

    Absolutely delicious! If you're craving unforgettable mariscos, this spot is a must visit. The pescado zarandeado was perfectly grilled, smoky, and seasoned to perfection. The portion was generous enough to share between two people, she I'm glad the waitress let us know of this beforehand because we almost ordered two orders for two people. The shrimp ceviche in black sauce was also amazing. It had a perfect balance of the tangy with the savory black sauce & was incredibly unique and refreshing.

    Every time we visit, we are welcomed and treated like family. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and inviting, making it a perfect place to spend time. The food is thoughtfully prepared with care, and everything tastes exceptionally fresh.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

There are about 6 talented bartenders who work the bar and each of them bring a unique portfolio to mixology. Let's get back to Amanda! One of my friends who was visiting from Hawaii found Amanda on social media and asked that I take her to Kuduowl to experience this unique mixology. We were greeted warmly by Amanda and she explained the concept of the bar and the drink options. All were absolutely beautifully crafted and served! Delicious! I had a drink a few years ago (Sloe Gin Ramos) and not many bartenders know how to make it, nor do they want to take the time to make it. Amanda and Chris jumped right in and made it (takes 10-15 minutes to make). It was delicious and the preparation was a show! Loved it. All bartenders, servers, and bar backs were working in unison, like an orchestra. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and coworkers! It made for a beautiful ambiance. The bar welcomes everyone - from old to young, from gay to straight, and a rainbow of diversity of ethnic backgrounds! This has to be my favorite bar in Southern California! Bravo Amanda & team!
