About Mariscos San Isidro - steak house in El Monte, California
Customer Review Summary
Mariscos San Isidro is praised for its delicious seafood and lively atmosphere, particularly appealing to fans of banda music. Parking and security measures are notable, ensuring a safe entry to the venue. The restaurant's environment can be quite loud, making it difficult for conversations. Restrooms are small but clean, and the service is generally fast, despite some misleading menu items. While prices aren't displayed, the extensive drink options and good seafood make it popular, though not ideal for families due to the alcohol focus. Some reviews highlight a great ambiance and friendly staff, with specific recommendations for shrimp tacos and enchiladas. However, one severe criticism mentions unprofessional behavior, including claims of drug use within the restaurant and strict recording restrictions. Overall, many patrons express a desire to return for the food and entertainment, while others warn potential visitors of their negative experiences.

Rooster's Beak Studios
Delicious seafood, one of the best around El Monte. There is usually a parking security that shows you where to park when you arrive at the restaurant. There is also another guard who checks for any potential weapons before entering the restaurant, which not a lot of seafood restaurants do. Live music is performed every Thursday and Sunday, so if you like banda music, you'll love it. It is going to be a very loud environment, so you'll have to do conversations for later. The restrooms are cramped, very small, but they were clean enough. Service was fast, but keep in mind that ceviche of tostada is actually a big plate of seviche (quite misleading). But the seafood tastes so good, and the drinks too. They sell lots of alcohol here, so I wouldn't recommend it here for a family dinner. Prices are not displayed in the menu, so if you are in a budget, this will be a no-no. Overall, the taste will make us visit this restaurant again!

The food was delicious and a fairly large portion. I ordered a cocktail and normally places are skimpy on the seafood, this one was hooked up. The shrimp tacos where really good. Ambiance was great and music was great. Drinks were great.

Go if you like live Mexican music. We had to wait a lot when we asked for something but its understandable since there is a worker shortage, otherwise very enjoyable.

Found this restaurant as we were looking for a karaoke bar. The ceviche was so delicious. The atmosphere was pretty lively. It could've been bcuz somebody was celebrating their bday. Service was great!

Love this restaurant because of great food and entertainment. Personally I love group "Instinto" that plays on Thursdays at 8 pm. They also have entertainment on Wednesdays and Sundays. Jimmy (manager) and waitresses are Always very friendly and welcoming. I enjoy myself every time I go eat here. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Good food and great service! I recommend the shrimp enchiladas. You can never go wrong with the beer on tap.

DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT. DRUGS AND CONTAMINATED FOOD. I came to have some dinner and drinks with a friend. As I was trying to record my drink the waiter snatched my phone out of my hand and said no one was allowed to record inside the restaurant. When my friend needed to use the restroom, he wasn’t allowed to, and was stopped by a big security guard saying he couldn’t go in at that time. He pushed his way through cause what?!!!! And we saw grown men doing nasty drugs inside this restaurant. So unprofessional and disgusting.

My friend, Buckshot, said this place has great fish tacos, so I had to try them myself and they were delicious! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was great.
