Family run restaurant. Food ingredients are very fresh, sea food restaurant where you won't smell the fish. Everything is cooked to perfection. We have many favorites dishes at this place, and after many years of us eating here, we always enjoyed great tasting food and friendly service, we always felt welcome. Our recommendations is the Mojarra Frita, served with a side order of delicious rice and a cup of beans. The mojarra always crispy on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. I also enjoy the Campechana Cocktail, all ingredients fresh and perfectly cooked, deveined shrimps and tender octopus. Their brochetas are superb too. You should give this great place a visit, you will love it.

Food is delicious and flavorful. I had a fish brocheta with rice and beans. The service is spot on, as the owner is attentive and sees to customers right away. Ambiance is comfortable and easy-going with the pace of service. Have been coming here for years! Great salsa

I was at Heritage Park in Sante Fe Springs .... Starving so I "Yelped" for a place to grab dinner that was close by. This restaurant is in a strip mall...I'm glad I ordered a double brochette....it was sooooo goooood! Grilled shrimp with onion and bell peppers. Your plate comes with salad, beans, and a lot of rice!! After you order you grab a table and they bring you chips with Pico de Gallo and salsa. The food was very good, but the people here are incredible...they define hospitality! The man that took my order...very pleasant, smiled, offered suggestions. He was working the counter, but he was also running around in the floor cleaning off and wiping tables...and he brings you the chips. As I was finishing, I wrapped up all the dishes and was headed to the trash area, "Amigo, I'll take that". Another gentleman that I saw walking the floor and delivering food...another great, happy, personality! I walked toward the exit door and I hear "How was everything"? This gentleman was behind the line...in the kitchen area!! Is everyone here that pleasant? I don't know who's in charge here but the people are happy. I would come back, just to see these wonderful people!! So many restaurants today...service is def NOT a strength. But here....its the norm. Thanks for a very pleasant dinner, I'll be back!!

Food is excellent. And very flavorful. And the cost for quality and quanity is very reasonable. Especially the lunch specials. If I bought this same plate at other pescador restaurants. The price would be much higher. Im sure. I had a four ingrediant seafood soup with two tacos for like 11.99. Plus chips and salsa. Their chips come with beans and a mild sauce on top. Also they have excellent ceviche. Ive never been disappointed eating here. The service is good. The ambience is old school mexican. Nicely docorated. The music is mexican and a little loud. Like I said old school. The outside is on the corner of a strip mall. Parking is okay at lunch. I dont know about evenings. Inside is comfy. Staff friendly Overall. For the quality , quanity and price of the food. This is one of my favorites spots.

Love the customer service and the delicious food! Tony did an excellent job with recommendations and his positive attitude made my visit outstanding!! The mix fish soup was full of a tasty variety of fish including scallops, octopus, and shrimp. The mojarra was fried to perfection and every bite was full of flavor.

this one was a bit tricky to review. first I got a referral here from one of the chefs himself. He was doing a catering event and I asked where he cooks at and he said here. I know this area well enough so I had to go and check it out. This was just a little hole in the wall place next do a major market and nestled among other eateries. Nothing about this place stands out until you go inside. It's clean and the man working the counter was very friendly. This is primarily a takeout place with some seating available. This place is all about their Mexican style seafood and they got lots of options from soup to ceviche and even whole fish options. You definitely want to go with their fish tacos either grilled or fried. Their shrimp tacos are nice as well and their carne asada is good. Salsa options are limited to tapatio and their house made stuff. Menu items are a little on the pricier side but that's how it is nowadays anyway. Now is it the greatest fish taco I've ever had? no. In fact it's kind of bland and can use some seasoning. However, with that said I cannot give this place a bad review because overall I did have a nice meal. The food came out at a reasonable time and it was all freshly made with fresh ingredients. The service was friendly enough. Sure it wasn't the greatest and there are plenty of other options in this particular area, but I cannot give a bad review to a place that is doing everything right. Good friendly service with a dish that is freshly made with fresh ingredients will get 5 stars from me every time.

The service is always warm, friendly and helpful - 5 stars! The second reason we love dining here is that their seafood is consistently fresh and delicious - 5 stars! Must order dishes for us are: Aquachile, ceviche tostada and seafood soup. They also offer catering service for parties and corporate lunches. Plenty of parking available in the shared plaza.
