The food is always fresh and amazing. The service is great and very understanding. Every time I come here staff is nice and music is playing. There soup is the best
The food is fresh, cooked just right and a plentiful serving. My husband and I love to sit outside in the patio.
Someone recommended this place to my family and I, and I have to say, they have one of the best fish ceviche's I've ever had - the only downside of this restaurant is, the employees and parking - the employees whether on the phone or in person, they're not customer service oriented, they lack in customer service - not friendly and sort of rude - not good for the business itself - the first impression can definitely be a lasting one - Parking is a major issue, one has to park blocks and blocks away from the restaurant, unfortunately - I would rate the food a 5/5 stars and 0 ratings for the few employees I dealt with - It was a ZERO tip day -
First time visitor. The restaurant is small but you're not on top of each other. You seat yourself. They have a mini fish market attached to the restaurant. They have a back patio that was quaint and the Dodger game was on. They have músicos walking around. We ordered the pozole, it was good and hearty. Tasted homemade. We had the ceviche de pescado. Yum! Tastes fresh and it was a good serving size for one person. I ordered a taco de asada that was served on a handmade tortilla. The taco was not hearty but the meat had good flavor. We ordered two micheladas, Corona and Modelo, which tasted good as well. Our waitress was less than interested in her job. She wasn't rude but she wasn't attentive. The place was busy but I didn't see any order to her waiting style. She didn't make her rounds to all her tables, which resulted in us finishing our food before we could order another michelada or drink. We sat around waiting for the check after we piled up our plates. Once we provided our card I had to get up and go sign for it because our waitress was no where to be found. Not a deal breaker, and I will be back because the food was great and I'm interested in experiencing the back patio. I am usually more assertive and would have asked for more service and drinks, but I wanted to get a feel for the place and I wanted to see how its genuinely is ran. Overall I recommend this place for your ceviche cravings.
Mariscos are authentic, great customer service. Live music from the chirinis who come to offer their services
