The tacos are absolutely , the service is great and the inside seating is so clean. I've been ordering the chicken tacos, but today I also ordered the tacos de papa--and it did not miss!!! This is located across from Fillmore old water tower (zero insights on the history here, just observing) and is a MUST stop. I normally get photos of the plate of food--but I couldn't wait. They're that good.

The tacos are delicious and are as close to being in Mexico type of tacos you will get. The menudo is wonderful and the broth is flavorful. All of the salsas are on point and I adore the pickled potato/cauliflower/jalapeños they offer. I'm not sure why this place doesn't have a higher rating, but they serve the food hot and fast and everyone is nice. Don't skip on the aguas frescas either! The piña is wonderful! My go to is the tacos! The buche and cabeza are perfect! My husband adores the asada.

The service is always fast, friendly, and welcoming, and it's honestly one of the easiest restaurants in Fillmore to recommend with complete confidence to anyone visiting town. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. The margaritas and micheladas are off the charts! generous pours and huge compared to the tiny drinks you get at so many other Mexican restaurants. The food is consistently great too. My personal favorite is the Pollo Tampiqueño, but their Molcajete, fajitas, albondigas, homemade tortillas are all amazing and definitely one of the highlights of the menu. Their signature seafood plates are absolutely worth trying. If you're anywhere near Fillmore, El Pescador is worth the drive. Family owned with great food, great people, great atmosphere, plenty of parking, and the kind of local restaurant that keeps people coming back.

My husband and…read moreI went for lunch during the week, and even though it was pretty busy for a Monday, we were seated right away. Our waiter came over with menus and was very helpful with a few questions that we had. We ordered a Molcagete, which is a lot of food and can definitely be shared with 2-3 people. We also ordered a camarones costa azul plate. Everything was so delicious, but the molcagete was my favorite. Another great thing about this restaurant is that they hand-make their tortillas right there. I loved the warm, hand-made tortillas. I also had a spicy margarita, which was amazing. The restaurant had so much space, a bar area, and can definitely be a great place for large parties. I loved El Pescador, and I can't wait to go back and maybe try their lunch specials.

Unfortunately, when I got home and opened my container, I noticed lint and a small piece of hair inside. It completely ruined my appetite and was honestly really disappointing and disgusting to see. We're not from Fillmore, so driving back wasn't really an option, especially with how expensive gas is right now. Overall, this was a very disappointing first experience, and sadly we will not be returning.

I ordered chicken taquitos and the chicken was very dry. My taquitos out of the three, one taquitos roll had two small pieces of chicken out of the whole roll and rest was just the hard roll. We informed the waitress and she brought out another plate of three chicken taquitos but chicken was still dry. If ever in the area again I don't plan to stop back for a bite. We paid for a meal and still left hungry. We ended up stopping for pizza directly after we left because the food was not fulfilling.
