    Oysters
    Sassynas ..

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Santo Fish serves up a wide range of coastal-inspired dishes from garlicky prawns and aguachiles to grilled fish and octopus all seasoned really well and rich in flavor. Many locals rave about their fresh seafood options like pescado zarandeado and shrimp preparations that truly capture the spirit of Pacific Coast mariscos. Portion sizes are generous and paired with sides like rice and fresh salad, making it easy to leave satisfied.

    Langostino

    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!

    Let me start by saying... management was fantastic... he recognized that we were waiting to order and he stepped right in... he made an experience that could have been bad.. go excellent. He recommended the right entrees and continued to check on us. The fish sarantado was beyond fantastic... great smoky flavor. The garlic butter sauce was heavenly. The rice was fabulous... beans were cold but still fantastic. Camarones in Agra dulce sauce were tasty.. I would order traditional mojo de ajo next time.... The mojo de ojo was amazing.. I can't stop thinking about it. The guacamole was tasty but expensive for $14 ... small portion. I loved the lemonade and the Jamaica was tart just like my husband loves it. Chips were fresh fried. Great handmade tortillas and salsas were perfect!!! Will definitely be back!!!

    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.
