I do not know where these bad reviews for service are coming from. I went on Monday and Juana,…read moreAmialey and Mark were awesome. They close at 9 but stop taking walk in dining after 8:15 which is understandable because food preparation duh. Those complaints about that are for people who walk in restaurants at 8:50 thinking staff should serve you and then wonder why food quality is bad. Anywho back to my experience. It's was my birthday and my first time there. Juana was my server and I gave us good recommendations on what to get. I got a boil and my bestie got a po'boy which she loved. My family is actually from Louisiana so I'm always skeptical but the seasoning was on point and the crawfish was not overcooked!!!!! No personally and in Louisiana the fish in po'boys are catfish not cod but I think that choice is based more on the location this restaurant is in. Honestly that's the only critique I have on the food it was very good. Back to the service Mark wasn't out server but he help the table next to us and I hope they tipped well he was on it. Amialey wasn't our server but she checked on us and talked with us at our table. Did I mention our amazing server Juana made me a birthday hat! They also sung happy birthday and gave me a slice of cheesecake. Again they went above and beyond. Also again they do not overcook the seafood.

Okay, the only reason for my two-stars here is Miley. As our server, she was fantastic. The food…read morehowever, not even close. Especially when a seafood place serves (commercially-made) frozen fish sticks. C'mon guys, for that I could go to Olympic Flame or someplace similar. Throw your frozen stuff out and serve some real (good) food. Also, get your orders right; no Cajon fries means No Cajon Fries! Cute place, great server, not good enough to go back though. Unless they make some changes.

The seafood boil bag is always delicious. The Cajun sauce is packed with flavor, the fried calamari is crispy and even better dipped in the tartar sauce, and the noodles are seriously underrated, they're so good! The food has consistently kept me coming back, but I do think the customer service could be a little more welcoming at times. A little friendliness goes a long way, and it would also be nice if personal conversations between staff were kept away from the dining area since customers can hear everything. That said, I stopped by tonight about 30 minutes before closing (I felt guilty, sorry y'all ), and Emilio took care of us. I'd never seen him there before, but he was friendly, welcoming, and checked on us throughout our meal even though he was already busy with the closing routine. We weren't trying to be high maintenance--we were just hungry and excited to eat--but he still made us feel taken care of without overdoing it. Great service like that stands out, especially when it's close to closing time. Hopefully some of his coworkers can learn a thing or two from his approach because it really makes a difference in the overall experience. The food was excellent as always, and tonight's customer service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back... probably next week. Thanks, y'all!

Extremely disappointed with this place. I had been a loyal customer for the past three years, but…read moreafter this experience, they've officially lost my business. They recently changed their hours and now open after lunchtime, so I waited until 1:00 PM when they opened. I called ahead to place my order, and "Mark" told me they wouldn't even start preparing it until I arrived and paid. If that's the case, what is the point of placing an order over the phone? I arrived, paid, and then waited another 30 minutes for my food. When I finally got back to the office, I discovered that my order was WRONG. On top of that, the food was made extremely spicy and was completely inedible for me. I called to let them know about the issue, and once again spoke with "Mark," who simply told me, "That's how that order comes." No apology, no attempt to correct the mistake, and absolutely no concern for the fact that I had paid for food I couldn't even eat. After being a repeat customer for three years, this is incredibly disappointing. The customer service is seriously lacking, and this experience was enough to make sure I never return. I'll definitely be sharing my experience with others in the High Desert so they can make an informed decision before spending their money here. Three years of being a customer, and this is how they choose to treat people? Never again.

Mariscos El Kaliman is tucked away toward the back of the shopping center,…read moreso it can be a little tricky to find your first time, but it's absolutely worth looking for. The food is delicious and everything I've tried has been full of flavor. The aguachile is definitely worth trying--really flavorful and one of the things that stands out here. The food is a little on the pricier side, but the quality and portions make it worth it for me. One thing to know before coming: weekends can get BUSY. If you're coming during peak hours, expect a wait. Despite that, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving really good mariscos. It might be hidden in the shopping center, but judging by how packed it gets, the secret is definitely out. expect it to be pretty loud!

A sudden drop in blood sugar brought me in and I was craving fish tacos anyways. They have Ensenada…read moreStyle seafood tacos here. I ordered two fish, one grilled shrimp taco and one potato taco. The food came out quickly and was plated beautifully with both lemon and lime wedges. I was asked if I would like a mild, medium, or hot salsa. I chose the medium one but it had only just a little hint of a kick. It was a good tasting accompaniment for the seafood. The beer batter was crispy on the fish. There is plenty of shredded cabbage and a good crema on the tacos. Fish was very fresh and clean tasting. The grilled shrimp was seasoned well but were small and a bit dry. I would probably try the beer battered shrimp next time. Potato taco was crunchy and the filling tasted good. Altogether, the food was very delicious and left me feeling light. Service was very welcoming and friendly. Bar and dining areas were inviting and clean. One of my favorite songs, The Smiths' "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" was playing on the stereo so that was very nice while dining. I will certainly return to try the other items on the menu.

We also ordered the chips and salsa. The fish and shrimp tacos came with limes and sides of different house made salsas which were really good. We were ready to cash out and asked for the check, after we got the check we told them we wanted another taco each and another round of beers! The service was great, the place is really clean and they have a bar serving beers on tap. They play different types of music like Banda and oldies. They served my favorite beer, 805!! I'd recommend this place and definitely come back here again!

I made the mistake of taking it home and not checking until right now at 11pm. They forgot to add some ingredients as you can see from the picture. Last time I waste that much money here.

It's a great spot whether you are riding solo or you are with your family. Will definitely be a staple spot when we are in the mood for Cuban food.

We wanted to try something different for lunch on a Saturday afternoon after running chores…read more Our order: Cubano sandwich with banana chips with a Coke. Pastrami sandwich with fries and an unsweetened iced tea First, the customer service at this small spot was great. Even though we ordered to go the cashier brought our drinks and food right to our table. Both sandwiches were top notch and muy delicioso. Cubano sandwich was filled with smoked grilled ham, Juicy roasted pork, cheese, pickles and pressed. It was served with the most amazing garlic aioli. I opted for the banana chips that were light and crispy and a perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. We also ordered a pastrami sandwich with fries. The fries were well seasoned and thin. Pastrami was so delicious however my only gripe is that it needed a touch more mustard. I shared some of my garlic aioli with my partner but hogged the rest for my other half of sandwich. Sandwiches were cooked to order, hot and fresh. The bread was soft with a slight crunch due to it being pressed. It was a very nice change from the usual burger or fried chicken fast food. We can't wait to go back !!
