“I am not a big fan of mariscos. This is one of the best mariscos spots I actually enjoy. I highly recommend the shrimp and fish tacos, the camarones dinamitas, camarones de cucarachas, Coctel de Camaron, the aguachiles is actually one of the best sauces I've actually tasted, not to mention there other Mexican dishes they have on the menu. I also rented the hall for events and the menu for their catering services are good as well and the hostility from dining in and renting the hall has been phenomenal. Anyone wanting to eat good mariscos I highly recommend this place“

“🙂👍 Lisa does a great job!“

“Apologies for not taking any photos but trust me when I say that the owner really cares about the dishes he puts out. As a sushi chef, he is a kind man who cares about the opinions of his customers. My sister and I decided to try the place out and we're pleasantly surprised by the kindness and the taste of the food.As for food, we ordered some sushi rolls, sashimi, and sashimi salad. The salad was my sister's favorite dish since the veggies paired well with the fatty taste of the fish. So fresh and lovely. A good balance of fish to salad. The dressing is what made it amazing for me. Gently drizzled with a sweet yet salty flavor made the dish really come together. As sushi goers we typically aren't fond of sashimi, usually when we go to sushi places, it has an odd aftertaste. But not this time. The sweet sauce made the tender fish melt into my mouth! I couldn't get enough of it. (I just kept eating and forgot to take pictures!) The sushi rolls were also delicious! Just enough to make you full and want to come back for more.What was best about this place really was the owner speaking with us. Initially when we walked in, there was no one to greet us and hardly anyone inside. So we thought the restaurant was closed. Although we saw an employee there so luckily we were able to be seated. After eating, the chef/owner came up to us to ask us a couple questions about the food and our experiences with Japanese dishes. We had a long discussion and ended up with more than just a happy meal, but with a good experience.The reason for this being 4 stars is because we did have to search for a host to seat us. And the selection menu didn't differentiate than many other sushi places. We did talk with the owner and gave him some ideas of how this could change so more clientele would stop by.(Also the name of this restaurant has changed. They only serve sushi and sashimi now, there's no BBQ anymore)“

“You need to email The Speakeasy to get the password of the day. Jeremy, the manager, has created an amazing cocktail list with creative drinks. His friendly demeanor during the evening set the tone for his staff to provide top notch service and drinks. We will be coming back soon!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Raymond 1886 was a cute gem in Pasadena. The wait staff was excellent and even gave us free dessert for the birthday we were celebrating! The food was pretty good, but pricey. We ordered the ribeye and truffle pasta. The drinks were really delicious as well and they even make their own ice. The ambiance was nice, the patio had cute dim lighting which made us feel as if we were inside. It was fairly nosy outside, but we could all hear each other talk. Overall I recommend the Raymond for a nice date night“
