    Came by for lunch to try El Cangrejo Mariscos which was recommended to me by a friend. I arrived right before the lunch rush and good thing because when I was leaving it was packed. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Daisy brought chips and salsa and took my drink order. By the time she came back with the drink I knew I was in for a delicious meal. When you taste the salsa you will know what I mean. Great flavor and just the right amount of heat. Of course I have to order my go to Camarones a la Diabla. The plate was huge and plenty of large camarones, the sauce is one of the best that I have had in all of the places I have been thus far. When you are in the La Mirada area and looking for a great place to grab a cold beer and a bite to eat this should at the top of the list. Until next time!

    My family and were regulars since pre Covid. However the changes in staff have made it very unpleasant for us to continue being regulars. We decided to come and give this play another try. Was disappointed once again. Took our waitress 20min to even come to our table. Mind you the place wasn’t even full. Our food took long as usual. We had ordered basic items , shrimp cocktail, quesadilla and chicken nuggets for my kids. When food came out it wasn’t even hot. Reminded my husband why we will not be returning.

    On a scale from 1 to 5 this was definitely a 9, I don't give 10s. I was ordering to go and had to watch all the food coming out of the kitchen. Every plate that passed looked perfect smelled great and my order was delicious. So far I've had three of their offerings and every one of them was a grand slam.

    I had high hopes for this place because I recommended my party try it out after looking up reviews. We walked in to the aroma of Fabuloso in the air, looked legit.. Menu, presentation and prices lead you to believe you are at a place where a chef is going to be whipping up a smorgasbord of flavor. I'm sorry to say, the bottled beer was the best thing I had here. By far the blandest ceviche de pescado I have ever had. No flavor, none, not even a whole lemon squeezed on it and tapatio helped. Actually, wait. It did have flavor....The dreaded refrigeration flavor. Accompanying tostadas did not do the ceviche any favors either. Portion was "nice" but that does no good when you don't even want to take it home. No one in my party wrote home about their choices either. You know it's not a good sign when you are all trying to justify your choice from the menu to each other without being mean. Waitress did a double take when I refused a take home box for half that was untouched because I did not like it. This señor cannot tell a lie, I was being honest, not mean. They did not charge me for it which was "nice" but I would have rather paid plenty for a delicious ceviche that I could come back to anyday. One more thing, the salsa for the chips had to be Pace sauce, had to be. This review is only for the flavor and taste of the food, not the staff, etc.

    The Mojarra Frita was very dry and lacked flavor and had very little meat on them but the Camarones Zarandeado were absolutely delicious 🔥🔥🔥 *** THE CAMARONES CUCARACHOS WERE SOOOOOO GOOOOD! somebody needs to kiss that cook cuz he's got dat sazon 🤌 *** The service was good and so was the food we got ceviche, tacos gobernador , and camarones a la diabla. My only complaint is the camarones a la diabla were too mild my michelada tasted a little watered down but was good.

    Food not so fresh. Stale chips, mushy old shrimp. Had high hopes from the great reviews. Turns out they're old reviews.

    The ceviche was delicious. I also got a taco. The taco was basic, the service wasn't great, we never got our cups refilled. And the music was a bit loud to have a table conversation. But will go again for the ceviche.

    Don’t recommend this place, carne asada was old and bathed in oil , plus the ceviche was old and no flavor. For 50 dollars your better off going to Ricardo’s on beach Blvd

    First time ever coming here and there will be more times in the future. Food was really good, tasty and well seasoned. Service was on point, waitresses were very attentive to us. Music was a little loud for my taste, but atmosphere was good, happy!
