I went to eat lunch here with my Dad because we wanted fish tacos. I was happy to see they had 3 Al La Carte tacos. No rice no beans just tacos which was perfect and reasonably priced. My complaint is about the water policy and the service. The manager or owner was setting up the restaurant because they had just opened so he wasn't very attentive. I understand they just open but why don't you arrive or get scheduled earlier to unload a van full of beverages and alcoholic drinks? If your guests are there you have to pay some attention to them or at least see if our food was ok. Also they do not provide complimentary water to guest. You must buy a bottle of water. This is uncommon in restaurants and he didn't tell me bottles water only when I ordered water he just brought over a bottle of water and charged us for it. The tacos were just ok. I found a better place in Pico Rivera called Baja Mar Taco. Much better vibe, no need to tip, service was good, drinks reasonably priced and the tacos were incredible. I will not be back to this establishment sadly. I had high hopes because it was so close to my family's house. Now when we get a craving for tacos we just go to Baja Mar Taco

Located on the corner of a residential street, it looks unusuming but be not fooled. We visited on a saturday evening, and it was empty (1 patron and a few at the bar). The food served is delicious and will leave you wanting to try more of the menu. Ordered the ceviche platter, which came with three different mixed seafood, and shrimp ceviche. We devoured all of them! If we had more time we would have ordered more food. Thats how good it was. Flavors were on point. The mixed drinks were ok. I would stick to beer or can drinks. The establishment was clean and the service was quick and friendly. The restrooms were also clean (womans). I would definitely visit this establishment again and try something new from the menu. Parking was a tight maneuver if you're driving a truck or aren't good with tight spaces. Street parking was full from local residents.

Look at this place on the map, I expected a lot more but the truth is it's a normal place, nothing extra.
The food is good, the food is very sugary.

This is third time here, and so far all I've tried is great. Today I had the taco Tuesday special, three fish tacos for $5, and it does not disappoint. I've also had the beef and chicken taquitos, and they are stacked. Can't complain.They also serve complimentary chips and salsa. The drinks are good. It's clean, and great service. Give it a try if you're hungry. And try to stop by on a Tuesday for the specials.

Parking: Parking lot in the back. And street parking.
