This place has gone seriously down hill since these new owners took over with their Taco Pacifico added. This was an iconic shoreline go to place but now the food is not good and way overpriced. Service is no smile, don't care attitudes. I tried to give it a chance twice since they changed buy after last time,
never again. I've even seen on Google reviews where they actually insult some of their customers who give a bad review. Absolutely unacceptable.
Authentic Los Angeles street tacos. Finally found my spot brings me back home. Going to love Taco Tuesday now. Will be a repeat customer.
Has gone down hill since it changed owners. Food is okay but not as good as it was. Seems like they care more about the tacos than the seafood. Tonight I had fried clam strips. The coleslaw wasn’t any good. Clam strips were okay but a lot of small broken pieces. Then to top it off, almost broke my tooth on a piece of clam shell that had the fried coating on it. I’ve had clam strips plenty of times before and that’s a first. Wouldn’t be quick to go back.
