Fred Flintstone

Horrible experience. The $10 Margarita tasted like there was dish soap in it. The order was wrong and unedible. To top it all off we all ended up sick for two days. Take heed of the bad reviews.

Salvador Ruiz

Really Really nice Restaurant.. Weekend. Live Mariachi Show!

Jose Castro

Like chef Ramsey would say " this is disgusting" the fish and shrimp we're overcooked, the rice was crunchy and the carne asada was burnt!!!

mari lopez

I love the food, the service.

Rıcky Navarro

I'm giving it a 3 and I'm being nice.... the food was bland the wait staff took to long my wife ordered and extra side and they didn't bring it... the drinks were to strong... the salsa had No flavor at all.... the only really good thing was the mariachi band...

John Martinez

Mariachi and good food are always the best. I recommend the Pescador fajitas. Tried a new beer that they carry "Bocanegra" de Monterrey

Johnathon Pasley

Great, affordable food. The staff was friendly. The menu had plenty of options. My only gripe was I went on a football night, The bar was "energetic", with a few guys, who had a few drinks, yelling their excitement to say the least. Anyways , give it a shot, you'll enjoy it.

Josie Sandoval

Good food, service hit and miss but we had a large party. Good mariachi.

Yeremi Tavera

The best cantarito and great service.

Mike Dahlin

Delicious food and friendly service

Coast 2 Coast Transporters

Service at bar lacking, good food and atmosphere

Lucy

The food was delicious, I ordered the molcajete. Security was very strict if you want to drink and dance this isn't the place to come to. I would recommend a club.

Joseph Bourbeau

Expensive during happy hour

Joyce Reese

Great food very authentic food the atmosphere is great and they had life entertainment plenty of fun great drinks and they had a separate bar area I really loved it.

Elia Ruiz

Been waiting for 2 hours literally 2 hours. Waiting do we continue to wait and not take our service elsewhere, because it’s my mothers birthday. First they crossed us off the list for no apparent reason. Asked 2 times they just keep saying that party is in front of you. 2 hours later that party has been seated. Third time is the charm right well not for us the manager, well I assume it’s the manager, walked away after say, “people are leaving.” My question was are we almost next because we’ve been waiting here for 2 hours. I don’t even know why we’re still waiting if the food is not all that great and the service definitely blows. If it was for me I wouldn’t even be here, but everything for mom. In the picture you see the young lady that has a very rude attitude and next the so called manager.

Claudia Perez

The Mariachi... I love it, well the food was delicious

Sheila Inda

Beautiful place, lively atmosphere, food was ok.... I had 2 issues.. the main issue was that I ordered a cheese enchilada and when it was brought out to me it had bits of chicken and meat in it. I tell the waiter, he asks if I wanted the kitchen to make a new one, I say yes, he brings it out and tells me "just so you know, that was a cheese enchilada... if it was chicken or something else, the junks of meat would have been bigger" The comment annoyed me, but I'm not one to cause a scene. I just say ok, I cut into the new enchilada and you guessed it, another piece of meat comes out. Idk what is more gross.. if they did that to me on purpose or if they are just that careless in the kitchen that they dont care about cross contamination... Regardless, by that point, I wasn't comfortable eating the food. The other issue was the long wait time for the food. I think we were seated for about an hour (after ordering - not including the wait time to be seated) before we finally got out food.

Went on November 3rd with a party of 10 (4 kids)=14.. food was alright but because it was my mother's in law birthday party we were there celebrating and took our time. So when the Mariachi came out we paid our $450.00 bill (we had several buckets of beers) and tipped our server $90.00 (probably more) when the band was over and my party was still drinking and ordering drinks, the server advised us if we were going to stay around for the band again that there would be a fee of $25.00 per person

Antonio Cano

it was a very bad experience they try to charge us extra $100 to continue listening to the mariachi after spending $200 I will never go back to this restaurant or recommended ever again

Marco Chavez

Went on a sunday afternoon , good atmosphere Good food , but , really high prices ( $ 16.99 ) for 1 enchilada and beans . Server kept ignoring us

Raul Del Cid

Excellent food good price very fast service

r lopez

Difficult to find parking on busy nights. Overall good experience at the restaurant!

brandon morales

Food was good, they had a live band playing. If you're looking for live music, very nice venue. I didn't know that, and was looking for something a little more intimate where you could talk, but the music was good and I have no complaints with the food. I would go back, but only for specific occasions where I want that kind of atmosphere.

Juan Francisco Martin

Don Chuy is the best Bartender hands down, don't ever dare to get rid of him, you would lose my business

mywickedness

Fast service. Great music and food.

alfredo mora

The food was good. Before the Mariachi's show the staff is to eager to pick up your plates when you're not even done eating. I got out several times if I was ready for them to pick up my plate. You have to be careful because if you're turned around talking to somebody they will take the plate.

Joseph Nguyen

I go here with my coworkers once in a while. They usually are packed. The food here tastes like it lacks something like flavor. They do offer lunch specials. But nothing to get excited about. The worst thing here is finding somewhere to park. They also have a bar where you can grab a brew and watch sports. They are also pretty quick at getting your order to you. It's not too bad, and it's not too good either.

Jesse Garduno

Delicious food at generous prices.

jahaziel avitia

Good food live music and great service.

Yessika D

If you want to listening live music Mariachi. This it's the place

Al Bert

Good food, good staff, good overall thanks guys. Keep it up ! Saludos

Ernie Perez

Food was okay. Went for lunch with my coworkers and waited for a good amount of time just to eat okay food and almost forget my coworker food. We probably won't be going back again.

spleoleo leo

Great service but the fish was over fried. Fish meat was dry and skin was greasy. Mostly taste the oil and sauce, not the fish.

Salvador Rodriguez

Service ok.. none clean dine in seats.. food was average.. point is I won't Co e back to this El Pescador

Luis Zelaya

Love this place good food

ike dork

very cozy spot. my family loves coming here.

T Barboza

Food was very good, reasonably priced. Service was extremely fast and friendly.

Julio Chavez

Big portions you definitely get yours money's worth. A bit salty but overall good

Sasha Malic

Food was not great. Steak ordered M/R served well done. Salmon was dry and tasteless. Service average. Good bar with DJ and a vibe going if you enjoy your dining LOUD.

Abraham Farias

The food simply wasn't good, canned beans and Uncle Ben type of rice.. should of just stayed home. The shrimp had no flavor and it's definitely not a Mexican sea food place. Unless I went at a wrong time..

stephanie hatchett

On Tuesdays they have karaoke. The DJ has his very energetic and gets the crowd involved. I'm trying the Beef, Pork and tacos. All are delish

wesley major

Good food but a little pricey.

OrfiR CastR

It was not good the waiter didn't smile and we not get rueful on the coffee and the coffee was expensive

Elias De La Riva

Horrible service and food is not good at all

Kuang Tang

Shady server at the bar area. Came here for a afterwork get together this Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. The server kept trying to push a mandetory 20% tax on us before we were even done eating and drinking. She looked annoyed the whole time working the floor, then when i left she told my coworkers that i promised her a 30% tip, which i never did. My coworkers didn't know, and they were already kind of buzzed and ended up paying...super shady!

LuLu Duran

Good food good service good music

Shaun Arrington

Good place to eat real nice food good portions

Miriam Duenas

First of all let me start with the food here, it was pretty bad! My daughter got a quesadilla they brought it back with no cheese and dry as tortillas. My sons corn dogs were soaked in oil not crunchy at all just dripping oil. the rest of the food was pretty bad too.long wait for my party of 11,almost an hour and a half.

Michael McComb

Always great tasting food and friendly service.

Don Frost

Overpriced Mexican food

Jean Paul

Too too loud. Service was fine. Tacos were burnt. I'll make sure not to come on a Saturday night

TONY ALVAREZ

Great service along with good food.

James Peter

I love this place. The food is really good. I usually go to the bar and get oysters on the half shell with fish ceviche. They are delicious. They also make a damn good margarita. I've never come here before and left feeling like it wasn't worth it. I always come here with my friends before we go to a galaxy game and I suggest you do too.

Christopher Dubea

Your first reaction when entering is it's very loud and boisterous. Luckily, that's the bar and the restaurant is a bit quieter. After being seated some time a menu is brought to the table and I'm asked if I want anything to drink. When I asked for a better lost. I get, "I'll have to get you a menu". What comes back is a document full of specially drinks with the best taking up about 25% of the last page, no of which have any pricing. There is a clear image of beers on tap, including Pacifico, so I order one. I order a plate of nervous as well with the shredded beef. A bottle of Pacifico shows up and I'm asked if I want a glass. I wanted a draft I answered but no response was provided. The Nachos arrived a short while later. The toppings were fairly good. Unfortunately, the chips were very old and stale. I had been served a basket of chips and salsa and those chips were stale too. How does a Mexican restaurant serve old, stale chips and stay in business? I are most of the toppings and left the chips. The waiter didn't feel it was necessary to ask me how the food was. I have a feeling he knows. Decidedly not recommended.

Gabriel Leblanc

Mexican food and the setting here is very good. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. There was fast and courteous service.

Donn Van Dusen

Good eats. Smaller portions. Great hang out. Staff seems a little lost on what they should be doing. Not attentive to the little things like getting your ice tea to the table before the food arrives. Then having to ask for it. To needing to ask for your bill, when the place had very few people in it. Other than that, enjoy the food.

Edgar Pablo

Don’t get the burrito mojado

Thomas Davids

What a delicious food with this elegant place and cool atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious. Fast and good customer service.

Ant C

The food was delicious, but oh my the wait to get my food took over 30 minutes. I understand it was busy, but it should’ve not took too long for just one plate.

Oscar Pivaral

Very good food and very nice place

Ivan Cortez

Great service, great food... highly recommend..will definitely be returning.

Andrew Lopez

Amazing food would go again

EDUARDO MOOLINA

GREATH atmosphere good music

Raymond Cruz

Family owned and run. Owner is a great guy always giving us little extras, but we visit often and we are friendly with him. Hidden gem. Love the lunch specials, comes with drink or margarita for same price. Food is home made tasty

vincent benitez

Great authentic Mexican seafood restaurant, Mariachis play on Friday night, sports on TVs around the bar, great for dates or the whole family!!

J

Good tacos massive martini and good staff

Kevin Smith

That food is soo amazing it wasn't good AMAZING. I'm sorry I failed to take a picture but I dug in and I couldn't stop! I had the salmon with Jamaica sauce! The prices are very reasonable and portions are very nice. Drinks are AWESOME I had the LA Water and it was spot on! Service was perfect personable waiter fun and helpful with meal options. Just go and try it!

Malcolm Allen

Food is great the drinks are perfectly good, too! I had a great time. Wishing to bring my friends so that they can have a good time, too.

Jake Riley

Had an amazing lunch for wickedly cheap. Fast service. Will be back for lunch again next time I'm in the area. Oh, also, the decor and ambiance in here are awesome. If you're on the fence, just go!

Kenneth Frey

This spot offers awesome service as well as enjoyable food. One of the best spot around here. The meals came out rapidly and the prices are reasonable. Recommended.

HERSHEE SIMMONS

THE STAFF IS GREAT. THE PLACE IS CLEAN. THE DRINKS ARE BOMB U CAN ACTUALLY TASTE THE LIQUOR.

Martina Holmes

Good food and good music to

Robyn Carmichael

I just love the atmosphere on Friday nights for Happy Hour. Prices are great. Food is amazing. Drink specials are worth every dollar. But best of all, they have a Mariachi Band with a Female lead singer and she is fabulous. Bring your coworkers, friends and family for a drink of four. Located convenient to the 91 freeways and Main Street. ¡Muy excelenté!

Jackie Betancourt

Food is ok. A little overpriced. Great ambience. They have mariachi on the weekends.

Eva Smith

This place was so good, our server was very friendly and helpful. We went during lunch hours and the food was delicious and flavorful. The drinks are amazing you will be satisfied. The best part is that the price is very reasonable.

Esmeralda Leon

Horrible service and don't try to call them because it will be days before they answer. Try it for yourself. On the bright side they usually answer after 10pm said someone who answered and told me to call then because she couldn't help me make a reservation for Father's Day weekend. HORRIBLE. PLEASE TRAIN YOUR STAFF . BE PROFESSIONAL AS YOU ARE BUSINESS .

Lorenzo Garcia

Great food,great beer and great desserts. Great atmosphere the waiter had a great personality.

Asael Rodriguez

Cool place to get drunk and then get a uber home

Rosalia Martinez

Reallly good seafood place and I love the live mariachi

Russ Lacuata

Food was great. Server was very friendly,attentive and helpful. The drinks are very good. Price is reasonable.

Brian Barrientos

the moment I walked in, It smelled like beer had been spilled all over the floor. The decorations and all look good. The food was fair, but too expensive for my taste. What throws me off is the title family. It should be bar and restaurant.

LaJoyia Brookshire

The restaurant was clean and staff was amanzing. Food and drinks werw perfect and fresh

Elizabeth Cholico

Delicious Mexican food!!! Place is clean and very ample. It gets very busy here so sometimes the wait can be long but definitely worth the wait. I love their Enchiladas Suizas and pretty much everything I have tried is delicious n tasty! Servers are friendly and fast workers. Their drinks are good as well. Friday's they have a live band n DJ in the bar area. Good times, Good Food, Good Music!!

Miguel Ocampo

Tastes good!! Happy Hour

Oscar & Liz Corvera

We got there at 10pm. They close at midnight. At 11:15pm, security approached our table and the table next to us and out of no where told us they closed at 12 and walked away. Thought that was kinda rude and random. Food was good.

Carlos Acosta

Great attention...good food and great atmosphere....however a bit over price

mecca thomas

Had the worst experience for my 1st time here ! the “owner” called the sheriffs on me instead of having a conversation about the restaurants customer service . Wish I could give them zero stars

Stephanie Moya

Love to come here for birthdays. Good ambiance and great food. Food does take a while but worth the wait!! Great service! Always have good music!

Robert Rael

We come here off and on, and sometimes to other locations. The band was playing so we chose to sit one room over. We didn't have to wait to be seated. I ordered fajitas, and man was it good. I'm usually not in in the mood for fajitas. We had excellent service, and great atmosphere.

Ivonne Andujo-DeLaTorre

Ouch my mouth was on fire. hot spicy delicious. And fast service

Jorge Salgado

Great tasting food with a very friendly staff! Would recommend to you if you were looking for some authentic Hispanic food.

Terry Bixler

Excellent chicken salad. Loved the salsa and chips.

Hilda Rodriguez

I like the bar area in this place. The drinks are good, and the staff is very friendly.

Shea Winters

The best service along with amazing and delicious food. Going there to eat while listening to the music gives you an authentic and amazing experience.

Ponchiiz Saviñón

I normally dislike giving bad reviews, but this place was a hot mess, I hate canned beans, and well, my expectations were ruined by serving actual canned beans, rice was too dry, and the wait time was over 30 minutes for a table.. , also make sure to bring your own drink, they charge for refills...

Rafael Rodriguez

It's good atmosphere good food

Nutty Sands

Food and service was great!

patrick bridges

Dined here because it was within walking distance of my hotel room. Food was good and served hot and in a timely manner. After my food was on the table my server(Mayra G) pretty much avoided me as though I were contagious. After receiving my bill she seemed to have forgotten that I existed. I waited like 30 minutes before the busboy took my payment. I normally tip a minute of $5 but in this case I went with the standard minimum which was about half that. I would’ve felt bad not tipping at all, even for bad service such as this. I would be willing to give this place another try but only with a different server.

Fernando Vargas

A delightful place to eat. Service is great, we felt like we were the only customers while it was packed. Food is delicious and affordable. We order a dish for two and it felt like it was for 4 there was so much food and it was so delicious. The drinks are also good. Overall highly recommended.

Amy Saldana

Delicious food, no plate has disappointed.

Lily Ramirez

The food was very delicious! The service was great!

Daisy Vazquez

Great food and service, and live music.

Jose Alonzo Cabada

Great food and great atmosphere. Love coming here every time I visit Los Angeles

M Coleman

Service was great, food was delicious!!!

Andrea Hand

Tortillas and toppings did not come with my fajitas. I had to ask for tortillas and waited 10 minutes for them. The chicken was dry as well and did not match the picture. In addition there were two chicken fajitas in the menu- same description, but one was $3 more expensive. No salt came on the rim of the margaritas. We cut the night short and left once a DJ started playing bad music loudly. Good chips, meh salsa.

Luis Aguilar

Good food and delicious dishes that you can enjoy

Daniel Cassick

what a great time thank you

Marilin Castellanos

Very quickly to find me and my family a seat! We came just in time for lunch hour the menu was amazing great affordable prices and the food honestly was super good!! I’m glad we came here keep up the good work!!

Emmanuel AKWAR

Average restaurant with a high price. Food is okay and the service is good but the price of food is very high compare to similar mexican restaurants. Other than price, it's a descent place to relax and eat mexican food.

Dawnte Thomas

Very cool place

Lisa Canales

This was my first time going here. The food was delicious. Service was great. I definitely will be going back.

Jasmin Cruz

It was just okay. It is pretty standard Mexican food. I ordered a pretty fruity drink and it was too strong i couldn't finish it. Its loud when the mariachis are there. I thought it was over price for the quality of food they try to make it up with the quantity but like i said its pretty standard. I would not come back here.

Inland Coast

Food is ok atmosphere is not bad music changes various alot

Raymond Bastidas

Good food and weekend entertainment

PDT BUKTI NEGARA HEADQUARTERS

Very good, Mexican seafood. So fun and delicious.

Keith Pitts

Great Food Great service. Thank you Martin

Tara Martinez

The food is good but they are pretty understaffed.

Gilbert Hernandez

Had the most amazing time here. The food was delicious, the entertainment was excellent and the the service was second to none! I left this place feeling very satisfied and with memories that will be with me for a long time. The manager was so gracious and came to our table a couple of times to make sure that we were 100% happy. No worries there.

Joseph Bartlett

ckean,quick and good

Jorge Meza

Good for happy hour

Eliana Diaz

Horrible service!! the shrimp tostada has no flavor is all onions and tomatoes they brought our food and the lady didn’t ask if we needed anything else she just left. 10 minutes later we had to call someone else to bring us lemons and hot sauce to our table seemed like she didn’t like getting asked for stuff her face was not happy at all. When paying one of the servers demanded us to write down 15-20% of tip like really?! After not being well attended having food that wasn’t even worth it a total different server demands tip? He wouldn’t take our payment unless we wrote down the percentage claiming it was for our debit card protection!! We had to tell him that we will leave the tip cash on the side he walked away mad! Never going back for such an over priced tasteless food and bad service definitely not worth it.

Benjamin Green

Good food and music drinks could have been a bit more stronger

Godo Luis

Great mariachi band, good food, nice bar area, staff is friendly. Each time that I go, my party never receives a drink menu (non-alcoholic/ alcoholic). And you might have to repeat the order a few times or speak loud enough to be heard over the band. Overall, still good... I mean DO return here often.

Esmeralda

Friendly service, but like of slow

Victor Diaz

Didnt have tables available also lied to in regards to an open table saying it was broken and wanted to double charge me for eating with a party of 16 that usually takes a while and we felt rushed to get out and pay and the overal customer service was horrible I will make sure people dont go back to dine there.

Adrian Martinez

Good environment. Prices are not over the roof like other places. Live mariachi. And dj.

Fabian

This is my favorite place to go too for a great big family dinner. The plates are huge and the authenticity of the plates are spot on. Visit this place with an empty stomach and a big appetite.

lydia sanchez

Good drinks and nice bar. Food is over priced

David Ponce

Love it lunch specials are the best cocktail shrimp best taste ever.

Joana F

I really like it here. I really like the margaritas. They have a variety of food and it tastes good. It is a little pricey but it is worth it. The place is very clean and very nice

daniel ochoa

Great food and great music. Always a great experience.

Christine Barajas

Always receive great service from the staff. The food always fresh and delicious.

Diana Cervantes

I've been coming her for years the food is amazing and there service as well. We went this weekend after the chargers game and my husband ordered the shrimp burrito and we were amazed because usually you go to restaurants and they hardley put any shrimp in anything. But here every bite my husband took had shrimp. This place also turns into a mini night club at night so it gets Poppin!!!! It is also a family restaurant, the food is delicious the pricing is reasonable and recommend!!

Noyele Kelsey

I recommend El Pescador Family Restaurant because I love it.

EDWARD HUIZAR

Great food , service was good .clean place

Ixmael Padilla

Good food and okay prices

francisco capilla

Food is ok. Drinks are good. Customer service sucks!

David Gaitan

This place is great. Its two places in one. One side serves family enjoying dinner out. The othere side has a sports bar with D.J. playing music. Singles and couples on this side enjoying food and dance. Great place.

Maria Salazar

This is the worst restaurant I have been too, really bad customer service. Celebrated my mother in laws birthday a group of 10 or more and the manager Ricardo and waitress told us after an hour or so we couldn't consume anymore, for reason they were loosing money by having us more time in the restaurant. Over more than 500$ we spent, won't return never again. Really disappointed. We came to celebrate and listen to the Mariachi and we get really bad service not fair.

Garry Smith

Good food, good service at an economical cost

rosa velascl

The molcajete so delicious there.
