Callos La Rosca Compton Mexican • $$
15413 Atlantic Ave, Compton

“If you know, you know—this spot kills it when it comes to mariscos. The ceviche is super fresh, packed with flavor, and the aguachile? Straight-up addicting. Heat, lime, crunch—everything you want in every bite.

Do yourself a favor and try the Dos Banderas plate. It’s bomb. Two styles, one plate, and somehow both slap equally hard.

Service is always on point, the vibes are chill, and it’s clear they care about the quality. Easily my go-to when that marisco craving hits.

Highly recommend—this place deserves all the love.“

“Maybe I had the wrong meal, Chile verde plate. The tortillas get 6 stars if it was possible, they're amazing!!!! The pork or chile was missing flavor, and refried beans were too runny. The tortillas saved the meal and their hot sauce is made with habaneros that gave flavor to the chile verse. Been here before but I dont recall what I had. My niece who's 2 1/2 had the pancakes and they were bland, so much that she only had a bite or two and that was it for her.“

The food is very good, they serve both Salvadoran and Mexican food. I have only tasted the Salvadoran food, pupusas, sopa de pata, traditional breakfast etc. the dining area is spacious and will accommodate a large family. If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat.

There is plenty of onsite parking for both the restaurant and the other business.“
