It was my first time here at Pescador with 4 of my best girlfriends. We were out celebrating my birthday dinner Saturday night and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and so well made ?! The cocktails were on point and the food was truly a hit out of the park! Plus our server was really good and the music was enjoyable Latin music and not extremely loud, we were able to hear the server and eachother as we engaged in conversation over dinner. As for the foods we got, we had the branzino, the ceviche, the shrimp and mushroom empenadas, beef tacos, the salmon dinner, chips and dip, octopus and the churos and flan; and as much as we ate, we finished everything single thing and looked forward to returning to the restaurant. Unfortunately we were informed that Saturday night was their last night and that the restaurant was closing! We were just devastated. Hopefully the owners and head chef can relocate and open a new spot with the same menu elsewhere soon as you have 4 additional fans of your food and will follow wherever ya'll end up.

I ordered paella and it was terrible, I don't know what happened, the smell was very, very BAD, I had already eaten paella before and it wasn't like that and I lost my money because of the smell I couldn't eat.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. My only concern would be that there be more dishes offered that aren't spicy. For a person that can't tolerate spice, the options are very limited. The pace of the meal was very comfortable. Cocktails were excellent. Highly recommend.

Was not pleased with this meal, the service was average. We got seated in the back and the ambience was very uninviting. The front was more lively but felt disconnected from where we were seated.

Food was delicious but some dishes were small for the price. The tuna poke is was about 6-7 cubes of tuna with a sauce - no rice or veggies. The paella was fantastic as well as the empanadas, although they are more of a calzone than what I think of as an empanada. My daughter was given the wrong entree. They left the incorrect entree and brought out the correct one quickly.

The food is truly outstanding. Sometimes the wait staff had trouble understanding what we were ordering (we are native English speakers, but the wait staff was not), but corrections to our order were happily made. The only thing we truly disliked was that the music is SO loud it's very difficult to have a conversation over dinner.

Tried the chips & salsa & lobster tacos. A couple of salsas had some kick. Disappointed with lobster tacos...they needed more seasoning.

Everyone from the door to the wait staff were excellent. They had everything on time and in order. I loved the touch of the manager coming over to share birthday wishes. That was very sweet of her. Overall exceptional first time visit and will certainly return.

The service was amazing and vibes were great. I loved the Latino music they played. The food was also spectacular, everything I tried came out quickly and tasted great. I tried the oysters asada, mushroom brick oven empanadas and ceviche. Definitely recommend

Delicious food, fantastic bar, fun casual atmosphere and great service! Carla created us again with a warm welcome and smile. Dan the chef created an excellent roasted oyster dish that we'll keep coming back for.

Food was great. My partner and I loved the Oysters Asada and the Peruvian Ceviche. The steak and lobster was good, and the lobster tacos were underwhelming. We also enjoyed our beverages. The spicy mango margarita was very good. Definitely will be back.

Peruvian ceviche was excellent, as was my husband's shrimp fajitas. Cocktails were very good, the place was empty. Service OK, could have been a tad more attentive. Overall, we liked it for the wonderful seafood.

Food and drinks were amazing and so was the service. We sat at the bar and Isaac and the other bartender on service were wonderful and gave us the best recommendations. Highly recommend the oysters asadas which we were skeptical about but were steered towards and did not regret. Paella and ceviche were also delicious.
