Host was very nice. Clean establishment. Food was a little cold. Beans were a little watery, rice was good fluffy light. Salad was a little soggy not fresh and crisp. Their shrimp were good nice size. Can use a little more seasoning on the rice and beans.
I had an amazing experience at Mariscos Reyes & Mexican Food today! I ordered the Mar y Mar plate and it was absolutely delicious. The grilled fish fillet was perfectly cooked with a nice crispy texture and great flavor. It also came with two breaded shrimp and two Costa Azul shrimp wrapped in bacon everything tasted fresh, juicy, and seasoned just right. On top of that, their michelada mix is super delicious and honestly one of the best I’ve had. I’ll definitely be back to try the molcajete I saw another table order one and it looked incredible and super delicious. Great food, great flavors, and definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality mariscos! 🌊🐟🍤
One of my favorites. Everything I've had here was excellent. I love that they put beans and cheese on the complimentary chips and salsa. A little something extra. I've been going here for probably 15 years. I've also tried their location in Ontario and I gotta say the cooks in La Mirada are putting out way better product. If you haven't been here, you should go tonight.
Food was amazing 🔥 & the owner’s daughter was very nice and polite. Would recommend this place for sure
Had the chile relleno and horchata and it is absolutely delicious. You order at the front, find a place to sit and they bring you all the food. Portions are big, well priced, and delicious. 2 Chile relleno with rice, beans, and a drink was about $23 and the plate was honestly so good. Highly recommend!! Staff was friendly and food was out fast!!
