    Combo plate with 1 fish and 1 shrimp taco
    Melanie L.

    I loveeee all the options inside Northgate market but this lil spot is the place specifically for seafood tacos. If you're like me and you love corn tortillas, ask for any of their tacos on corn instead of flour. They also let you mix and match things in their plates and menu and makes it so easy to order exactly what you like. Flavors are wonderful and the shrimp taco is especially to die for. It's crispy fried with melted cheese and peppers inside. The fish taco is a classic. Highly recommend this place for seafood lovers especially.

    We've been to Mercado Gonzales many times and have tried all the food vendors, everything is good here but El Sinaloense is currently our favorite. We enjoyed the flavor and texture of the dishes here from fish tacos, burritos to sushi rolls, especially the chill rellenos that came with the combo. It was crunchy, soft with a little sweet and spicy at the same time, hubby who generally doesn't like this kind of dish, gobbles up the whole thing and declared that it was so tasty and can't wait to have more. You can usually find a place to seat inside, it could get very busy high lunch, there's also a big patio so finding a table is not a problem. It's a food hall setting, casual and fun, if you haven't been don't hesitate to.

    Yellowtail tostada.
    Rene S.

    I have been to Sushi El Sinaloense inside El Mercado Northgate in Costa Mesa about 3 or 4 times now, and the bluefin tostada is always a must whenever I visit. It has become my go-to order in the market. The bluefin tostada is excellent. The onions are crispy and add a lot of texture to each bite. The chipotle flavor brings a smoky depth that reminds me of the tuna tostadas I have had in Mexico City. It is savory, balanced, and very satisfying. They also provide a side of Peruvian ají sauce, which adds another layer of flavor and makes the dish even more enjoyable if you want a bit of extra brightness and heat. I also tried the yellowtail tostada. It was fresh and well prepared, but for my taste it was a bit too citrusy, especially after the smokiness of the bluefin. Perhaps having it after the bluefin tostada was the wrong call, but I f you prefer brighter citrus-forward flavors, it might be the right choice for you. Overall, this is a spot I look forward to visiting whenever I am at El Mercado Northgate. The bluefin tostada alone is worth stopping for, and the quality and flavor have been consistent across my visits. If you are walking through the market and want something fresh with bold flavor, this is definitely worth trying.

    ¡Sushi Mexican fushion!
    Kim K.

    My friend brought me here after a day of rock climbing and before our night out on the town, and oh my, wow wow wow! It's a Mexican Sushi fushion. Must have is the tuna sashimi tosada, with the best shoestring fried onions on top We also shared a salmon jalapeño mango roll, quite delicious as well!! Order at the counter than sit wherever. This restaurant is located inside the Northgate Mercado, so it was quite crowded on a Saturday evening, loud, but good music, good vibe overall. Side note, the market is a-mazing, go shopping too.

    Delicious. An Asian Mexican fusion Sushi bar. Been here several times, it never disappoints. Located inside the NorthGate Mercado which is a wonderland. Weekends are busy. I recommend a weekday lunch.

    Jarritos are kept nice and cold...
    Cor V.

    We had a table in the far corner of the dining room inside the Mercado, and it was easy to see the surprising sushi menu of Sushi El Sinaloense. Wow, but I was aleady having Menudo and the lovely missus liked the fresh corn tortillas. We took another look at the monitored overhead menu with invitingly colorful pictures. The missus typically likes the Japanese sushi and sashimi, but for now the fusion of Japanese in the Sinaloa style wether it be rolls or fresh albacore tuna made into the taco way, will have to wait for another trip. But, we have the attention of one of the staff and he pointed to the place around the corner for bottles of Jarritos sodas. I motioned that we are there now and he can sell us bottles he has on display. He was kind and we got our drinks...that saved me 10 minutes of navigating thru the crowd. We thank Sushi El Sinaloense for the friendly staff and we will visit you properly in the future.

    Fish taco combo

    Sushi El Sinaloense is a Mexican Japanese fusion serving seafood tacos and sushi. It's located in the Mercado González Northgate Market right next to the bar. Service: Considering this was a takeout place there isn't much to touch on in terms of service. All I can say is that the cashier was nice. Ambiance: The supermarket this food stall is located in is not only huge, but very clean and bright. There are also plenty of other stalls nearby. Food: Both the fish and the shrimp in the tacos were extremely fresh. The batter was crispy and didn't get soggy even after sitting in the tortilla. The pico de gallo was extraordinary fresh tasting with heavy notes of lime. The fried peppers were stuffed with cheese and were good, but not a highlight. All in all Sushi El Sinaloense has very fresh and tasty tacos and would be a great place to stop at while shopping in the supermarket.

    I ordered a Tacosta Fish Taco, and it was absolutely delicious! There was lots of cabbage, pico de gallo, and sauce. The salsa was fabulous! I had to wait a while for my order to be ready since they were very busy on a Sunday afternoon. It was definitely worth the wait, and I would order from there again if I ever go back to Mercado Gonzalez Northgate Market!

    Combo fish tacos and rellenos.
    Ted S.

    I saw baja fish tacos on the menu, so just had to try them. It seems odd that so many places do them so poorly. This place didn't do a horrible job. They tasted good, and held together well, but the fish didn't have that sturdy batter that is the standard in the Black Fish Market in Ensenada. The fish was also a bit lost under the toppings, and didn't have that characteristic crunch that is expected. I liked my taco, but wouldn't have it again. Rellenos: I'm a huge fan of good rellenos, and they had an option of a combo plate that had two of those, and two fish tacos, so win win. These used the yellow peppers that are fairly mild and a bit larger than a jalapeno. They were stuffed with a cheese mixture that had the mouthfeel of Boursin, and a very crispy outer batter coating, and a nice drizzle of flavor. I liked these, but again wouldn't be terribly compelled to return for them. It is a sushi place, and I didn't have any sushi, so perhaps they need another shot. The service was pretty quick and friendly, and the price for the combo plate fair enough. It was around $15.

    Bomb shrimp burrito. Love their sushi sampler and tostadas as well. The flavors and sauces are amazing. Only tip, don't roll the sushi quite as hard so that the rice won't get as mushy, sometimes it's a bit stickier than it should be. - sincerely, a Japanese person

    4-in-1 roll
    Steph H.

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: A step above most fast-casual sushi joints, with a cultural twist. Located inside the Gonzalez Northgate Market mega complex, they're an intriguing mix of Japan and Mexico. I decided to get their 4-in-1 roll, which seemed like a good introduction to their food. It had a very fancy presentation, arriving on one of those sushi boats, with a flower and everything! The fish and rice were fresh, with tasty sauces and a pile of fried onions. The prices were reasonable for the quality, and I'm definitely game to try them again the next time I'm in the area. If you're looking for super-traditional Japanese sushi this won't be your jam, but if you're open to trying something different, give them a look.

    We really enjoyed our sushi and shrimp taco! The service was great and ambiance was magnifico!!! It looked like a food court with big selection of food and Sushi El Sinaloense was exact next to the scene where the singers were singing! We teally enjoyed our time here in Mercado and our food! Everything was reasonably priced! Their tacos are most try ones!

I went on a Friday night and it was VERY lively! There was a band playing by the bar and it was packed! People were drinking, dancing, hanging out. All of this is happening in a supermarket! Lots of food vendors to check out and all of it looked delicious! I don't remember the names of the places my friend and I ordered food from, but I had a chile relleno burrita, seafood cocktail, and pozole. I've never really had chile relleno, so I decided to just go for it and try something different even though there were other options that were more my preference. It was alright. Good thing it was only $5. The seafood cocktail was delicious! They did not skimp on the seafood and everything in it tasted so fresh. Pozole wasn't terrible, but just like my burrita, it was a bit on the bland side. Maybe my palate skews too heavily towards salty, but I felt like a little salt here and there would've really improved the flavors in everything we ordered. Overall the quality/freshness was there! Regarding the market part, nothing special. Maybe a little more selection than your typical Northgate, especially in the liquor department. Their wall of tequila was impressive. I will definitely be back again to try the other foods! In fact, I may just come all the way out here to do grocery shopping from time to time. I saw a guy doing some shopping with a cocktail in his cart and I want to live that life. Bro definitely had the right idea.

During my recent visit, Wendy at cashier station 5 on 6.13.2026 at around 7:30pm provided extremely disrespectful service and openly stated that she did not care enough to learn the pricing codes while scanning items. This raises concerns about pricing accuracy, not only for me but for other loyal customers as well. Fortunately, the employee assisting with bagging demonstrated far more professionalism and took the initiative to correct the mistakes caused by Wendy's lack of attention and concern. I hope management addresses this issue, as customers deserve courteous service and confidence that they are being charged accurately.

Although both entrees was good and satisfying and we could only eat half the meal . Great place for a meet up with friends ! I'm betting the bar scene is great in the pm! Only disappointment was that they don't offer Happy hour ( Sad face).
