The place was popping at 2pm on Sunday. We were seated by a really nice lady named Carmen. She got us our order, drinks and food quickly. She was so nice and super friendly. The food was really good. The mojarras were HUGE! We got extra lime, delicious salsa and hot tortillas. I would highly recommend and comeback.

Me and my family were looking for a good place to have some fish tacos and this place had some reviews on the good side we went with it, huge mistake. To start we order fish tacos thinking it was your typical beer battered fish but instead they were breaded fried, tasteless no matter how much salsa you put on it. My son is not a picky eater and he would not eat his chicken taco, and with all the reason it was extremely salty. My daughter ordered a carne asada quesadilla and same the meat was just tasteless. The rice is clearly not freshly made and the beans are canned beans. The service was good not going to lie and the atmosphere was also good, just the food? No thanks.

Small, perfect taco spot for fresh, delicious grilled fish tacos. You can tell they attract regulars for a good reason! The hot sauce was amazing, then it completely cleared my sinuses and I had to drink 2 glasses of ice water to soothe my poor tongue. Totally worth it!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving!
Stopped by Mariscos Guillen in Hawthorne and it did not disappoint. The fish tacos were crispy and packed with flavor — topped with fresh pico de gallo, crunchy lettuce, and perfectly seasoned. The carnitas tacos were tender and juicy, full of authentic flavor. The pickled veggies on the side added the perfect touch.
Everything tasted fresh, the salsa had just the right kick, and service was friendly and fast. A hidden gem for real Mexican seafood and street-style tacos.

This is one of the best Mariscos spots that I have been to. I have been looking for a good wet burrito de Camaron. And they delivered that! It was a green salsa wet burrito. I would highly recommend it. My girlfriend got a large shrimp cocktail, and I will say they do not hold back on the shrimp. It's really really good. Will definitely come back for another wet burrito. This time, maybe a Carne Asada. Also great place that only has the TV on and not the karaoke and mariachi music if anyone doesn't wanna go to places like that where it's really loud to eat sea food. There is a spot that has karaoke, but it is not as loud as you may think. Again, great place!
Ate here for lunch today and the food was first class! Had 3 fried fish tacos, which was one too many-large piece of deliciously battered fish covered with finely chopped lettuce and pico de gallo. Sauce and salsa was great and went well with it all, and guac was brought out to us, which I think came with lunch. Friendly staff and the restaurant was nice and tidy. Will be back!

Mariscos Guillen is my go-to spot every time I’m back in LA! I’ve been coming here since before I moved away a few years ago, and without fail, I always have to stop by for their filete a la diabla—it’s that good. This place is a true hidden gem, a cozy hole-in-the-wall with an authentic mariscos vibe that hits you the moment you walk in. You can smell the fresh seafood being cooked in the back—it’s the real deal.
They’ve got a solid menu with great variety, whether you’re craving shrimp tacos, ceviche, or something spicier like I do. There are plenty of tables if you want to dine in, but it’s also super convenient to call ahead and order for pick-up.
What really sets this place apart is the owner—he’s always friendly, helpful, and genuinely cares about getting your order just right. The service feels personal, which is rare these days. Other reviewers agree that the food is always fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the Hawthorne area and love authentic Mexican seafood!
