Food was made to order. Who I believe was the owner helped us out. He took his time and explained to us the menu. Great service food was fresh and delicious.

My Fellow Yelpers- Let's jump straight into my order: Food: -Pescado Baja Tacos -Tostados De Ceviche Pescado con Camaron -Fin De Semana Seafood Soup -Aguas Frescas Mango pineapple All the seafood is fresh. The owner stands by the freshness of his food and made sure I knew that. Thats legit to know! The Go to Order- Pescado Tacos was simply delicious! Good size portion, beer battered fish was fried perfectly, fresh veggie toppings, along with a fresh tortilla! Request for more Chipotle Sauce! It's that good! Service: Amazing service! Met the owner and he welcomed me with the best service. He was courteous to let me know there was a 25 minute wait ( it's Good Friday btw don't trip) and many ahead of my order. I smiled back and I said I'll be glad to wait those 25 minutes. He offered me a free Ceviche Tostado while I wait! 15 minutes later bro checked on me and offered Complimentary Seafood Soup!? Such a wholesaler individual and great host! Ambiance: A little sketch but I ask you to commit and try this place out! Parking in front and back of establishment. There is a small outdoor dining area for about 20 people. Pretty much take out is best option. Summary: across the board. It takes plenty to get that 5th Star boy but this spot did not disappoint at all. Earned all 5 stars! I'll definitely come back and here's a tip you can order for pickup. I'll will reorder everything I tasted and maybe try the Pez Aspada Taco and pair it with a Michelada! The soup is I'll definitely put an order for that! Sidebar- It's started to hail when we got there. Yeah out of all places. Then I was blessed with a rainbow which was pretty dope. Happy Eating!

Was looking for some fresh seafood and ran into this hole in the wall! Food was amazing, portion sizes are generous. Seafood truly reminded me of the taste of Baja California. Seating is very limited about 5 tables. We had Their micheladas, coctel mixto, tostada mixta, and a large agua chile!

New menu item fried sea bass with rice, salad and warm tortillas, it was delicious. I also had the shrimp ceviche curtido and my favorite the fried fish taco!

Food was absolutely delicious ? I’m so excited I finally food a good seafood place close to me. It’s family owned and operated which I love because I like to support small family owned businesses. The owner Jesus truly loves making food and good daughter is a great cook as well they made my mouth water with the yummy food they made for us. Make sure if you’re going later in the afternoon to take a warm sweater it might it cold since there’s only seating outside. Will definitely be coming back a lot and trying everything on the menu. Also, because everything is so fresh and made to order please remember to have patience because it might take a lil long to receive your meal.

I always stop here when I'm in the area to get the best fish tacos around, bomb...it feels like I am in Ensenada

Area seemed a little sketchy but the inside was very cute. Ordered fries and fish tacos. The tacos were big but it comes to par with the price since they were almost $5 a taco. The taste was at a 8.5/10 but their fries were way too salty so I ended up tossing most of it away and they were about the same price. Service was quick and the food came out quickly as well. Wouldn't come back but not the worst place I've been to.

The service was amazing! The owner is so attentive! Best Marlin tacos el gobernador I've ever had! Try the aguachiles tostada it was so good. I will recommend 100%. Definitely going back for more. Thank you.

Bumped into this lowkey, family-owned, Mariscos spot a few years back while working a project in Mira Loma. Martin, the owner, welcomes each guest with a warmth that's as inviting as the aroma of fresh seafood. He is passionate, humble, and cooks with love. Their aguachiles are a fiery dance of flavors, while the tacos gobernador are a mouthwatering fusion of juicy, smoked marlin and melted cheese: ooooofff... so bomb! Generous portions reflect Martin's big heart, making every meal here feel like a feast. It's not just the top-notch Mariscos that make this place special, but the genuine, friendly atmosphere that Martin and his family create. This hidden gem is truly a must-visit for anyone in search of authentic, heartwarming cuisine. Oh and sometimes they have this boom coco agua fresca. So bomb....!!! Make sure to get it.

Tbh this place was just decent and nothing to wild. I understand it is a mariscos place, but god dam this actually cost an arm and a leg! For the amount of food you get it does not justify its price. I got mariscos caldo and a taco and tostada. Tell me why that totaled to 50 bucks like Sheeshh in these times that's standard but still wild! Especially for being a little place in the back of a barber shop. My pocket forsure hurt after this one, and tbh it was one of those moments that the food was not as good to be price that highly. This was a week ago and I am remembering how much it cost and getting mad while writing this! My dank review will be 6.3/10. Could find other better places down the road tbh but go for it.

Was passing by on the way to Galleano Winery and stopped by for lunch at this 4.7 star place with 170+ reviews. The stretch of road had a bunch of other little Mexican places and even a Baja taco food truck so seemed promising. Parking was very tight but one spot left! There was a baseball team having a party so food took almost 40 minutes to come. They warned us 20 minutes at first and never provided an updated. Given the hot day and lack of air conditioning, this wait was pretty miserable although I managed to snag one of the four tables outside after 20 mins. Food was overall tasty but on the greasy side. Tacos are deep fried hard shell and big. Burrito shell was also fried which I've never encountered. The seafood was all quite fresh but I feel like the greasiness and heavy seasoning didn't let the seafood stand on it own. Prices are post-pandemic standard--higher than you'd expect for a hole in the wall but ultimately fine.

Made fresh fish Tacos! Zinnia was absolutely the sweetest person I have ever came across. Her hospitality was very kind and welcoming. I ordered fish tacos and I saw they made everything fresh. It took 15 min but that wait I was able to see how they made the tacos and every bite you can tell was yummy! It was a huge taco and very filling! I usually devour two but here since the tacos were full of fish, veggies etc I was only to eat one. The sauces were delicious! On the side of the counter was sauces and onions. The cucumber lime drink was delicious so delicious that my daughter took mine. It's a must try spot. The outdoor seating area was super cute. I complimented her on the design. I def will be coming back to eat her since I did a takeout.

I am not getting compensated to post about this place, 1 word WOW. The tacos gobernador were juicy, smoky and a great portion of marlin. The salmon salad was to die for. I had to get a tostada as they were taking out an order and it looked good. Great small business to support. Ideal to bring the family or a the compas as they sell beers.
