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.

Got home from a long trip and we were starving . My husband was insisting on a Shrimp Cocktail. I wanted to run some errand and a mariscos place was not on my ways so I Uber Eats his Shrimp Cocktail. It was very well packaged . It was huge. They packed it well nothing spilled. It was great tasting with lots of shrimp and great tasting broth. I can't wait to go there in person and have it served there. We will make it out soon. Since they packed everything great I am sure the ambiance will be equally fantastic. Looking forward to going in the next couple of weeks

This place has a great outdoor patio in the back of the restaurant and of course it also has indoor seating. The restaurant looks small from the street view but it's actually pretty big. It does have a small parking structure in the back but most likely you will have to find street parking. Their menu does have a large selections of items to pick from which is a plus. They are most known for their zarandeado fish. I decided to try their tostada mixta and also an order of their Callo De Hacha-scallops. They both come fairly plain but they do provide a lot of salsa's table side. So that you could prepare it your own way which is pretty cool. The tostada mixta was pretty big easily two people can eat from it. I did order a Michelada, which I really didn't enjoy it. I think they put too much Worcestershire and the taste over powered it. Other than the service was great, the ladies were very attentive and friendly .
