Been wanting to try this place for a while... and will be back! First time trying their fish tacos and it did not disappoint! Our order came quickly and loaded with lots of fresh pico de gallo. Easy and chill outdoor seating. Quick in and out.

Tasty tasty! It's My new shrimp taco spot. So good and crispy fried just right. Fish tacos were also good but I preferred the shrimp. Kids liked the quesadilla. Taquitos de papa were tasty. A little bland but salsa can always kick it up. Aguachila tostada? She warned me "it's spicy" and I was like scared but I was like yeah sure let's do it. And yes one bite I was like this is gonna be a hot one. It was indeed very spicy but so so good and tasty. It was also large enough where you could easily share it with others. I also found it nice in between bites of other less spicy things. All outdoor seating. Looks like two parking lots but both small. Pretty quick. Fun to people watch.

LOVE their fish tacos- they are absolutely addicting! I can't believe I lived in the area for almost 8 years, then moved away for over 7 years before trying this place- I walked past it SOOOO MANY TIMES for YEARS and was always curious. Glad I finally discovered it for myself- would definitely recommend their fish tacos! The shrimp tacos are also good, as well as the ceviche- but the fish tacos are CRAVE worthy!!! Cute and convenient spot to sit out front and eat your fresh tacos while out for a neighborhood walk, fast and friendly service! *I would have more pictures except I don't always bring my phone on walks---but I had the tacos sooooo manyyyyyyyyyyy times- to make up for all of those years I was too scurred to try it out!

Very authentic ceviche spot, good prices. Keep in mind there is no bathroom, also it's in an odd parking lot next to not so clean looking places, but the place it self is clean. It gets busy

Best shrimp and fish tacos in LA, hands down! In my opinion. Love love love the tacos here! They are always fried perfectly, batter is light and very crunchy, never greasy. Always crunchy. And when you add the red sauce *chefs kiss*. When I first started eating here, Id always get the fish tacos. And over time I slowly became team shrimp tacos! But still get the fish taco here and there, depending on my mood. My significant other and I always get the shrimp tacos with red sauce on the side. And the ceviche mixto with a side of the habanero sauce. And it always hits the spot. The location is a small little shop that has a pick-up window. And a little covered patio seating, of about 9 tables with 4 seats each. They have their own parking. When its busy, you may have to park on the street. But it's worth it! Their menu is not huge, they just make a handful of things really well. Everything is so flavorful and refreshing at the same time. You just cant go wrong with whatever you order.

The fish taco is solid, large fillets with sufficient cabbage and a mildly spicy salsa- perfect. But surprisingly, the biggest turn of event was how great the quesadilla was. I was blown away, the cheese was just amazing. Please don't sleep on it, or else you'll miss out. The fried dorados were solid. Crispy on the outside and fully stuffed shrimp in the inside. My only qualm was it wasn't spicy enough. Felt like something was a bit off. The storefront is pretty cute, gives a beachfront vibe. Service is solid, the workers are like a well oiled machine and can crank out orders in a timely fashion. It's fully outdoor seating. There is free parking behind the storefront. If not, plenty of metered parking on the street. The only concern is the bunch of rats roaming around the parking lot across the street near the garbage dumpsters. Haven't seen them near the store but... they're definitely within view when eating.

Food was good, service was speedy and friendly. The prices are reasonable and there's parking in the back. Overall it was good.

We went on Saturday noon. We got lucky as we got parking and seats right away. It got super busy like five minutes after we got there. I suggest coming on a week day as it is a busy neighborhood as well. This is some of the best pescado taco and camaron ceviche I had in LA! The pescado was perfectly battered. It was a little spicy for me though, but the good kind of spicy. I liked the ceviche the best! It was the perfect amount of lime for me. It tasted so fresh. Both were also good portions for the price (fed 2 people). Their horchata was more liquidy than creamy, but still really good! I definitely recommend this place and will be coming back :)
