I eat here often. A year ago I would’ve gave them five stars, but I noticed some big changes. They had the game on 👍🏾, our drinks were delicious 😋, and the mojarra frita was good, but not as seasoned this time around. However, when we noticed the “PSA” on our table, saying the first round of chips & salsa “is on the house” but any additional is $2.50, I was perplexed.😕 Most restaurants usually give you unlimited bread, chips/salsa, biscuits, etc. with your meal, especially if you’re paying $40+ per person. Oh I want to mention our server (forgot his name) was GREAT! 😊

I always enjoy coming to El Pescador! The service is consistently great—the staff is kind, attentive, and quick to take care of you, even on busy nights. The atmosphere is lively, with good music playing throughout the evening. If you're here on a Friday, be prepared for the volume to go up around 8 PM when the DJ starts, turning the place into a fun, high-energy spot perfect for a night out. The drinks here are delicious and well-made, with a solid amount of alcohol. On Fridays, they also come around every hour after 8 PM with rotating drink specials, usually shots like lemon drops or candy shots. Just a heads-up—the flavored shots are intense! They’re strong, large, and definitely not for everyone. If you like only slightly sweet but potent drinks and are looking to get tipsy fast, go for it—otherwise, you might want to pass. As for the food, everything I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend the ostiones presenciales—they’re always delicious and taste super fresh. The aguachile is another standout, though this location adds crunchy onions and Tajín, which gives it an extra kick. And the margaritas? Absolutely to die for! They’re well-balanced and refreshing, but they can get a little pricey—definitely worth it, though. If you're looking for a great seafood spot with strong drinks, good vibes, and a fun, upbeat atmosphere, El Pescador is a fantastic choice. Whether you're coming for dinner, drinks, or a lively Friday night out, you're bound to have a great time!

I ordered one of the fish platters. It came w all the sides. Steamed veggies, rice, beans, etc. Sunday afternoon had big loud family groups for a fun atmosphere

I was in love with the place from decorations to the food and service. We had a great time and we devoured a very tasty dinner.

The service needs help the food was good, but the beans tasted like canned beans. The drinks are overpriced and very sugary. The food is much better at this location. They had a DJ and the music wasn't crazy loud. We came on a Friday night.

The Mexican restaurant was a delightful experience. The food was excellent; we enjoyed the El Pascador Fajita which was generously portioned and perfect for sharing. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It's definitely a place worth visiting again!
