Mariscos "El Güero"

Small little place. Atmosphere was quaint and service was cool. Placed order online. Picked it up and nothing much to it. .. wanted to order rice but they have a 10$ card minimum. Food was fresh and delicious....I was hungry .lol. Shrimp tacos were different. It's like they fried the shrimp similar to chicken and no Pico but cheese and white sauce instead. Ceviche de Cameron was cool. But yes they do use tiny shrimp... and the shrimp quesadilla is where it's at! Would go back again! Small Shrimp Ceviche 3 Shrimp Tacos Clam Chowder soup Shrimp Quesadilla Total : $ 40 and some change.

I ordered a shrimp soup. You would think being a marisco spot they would know how to make it. It’s suppose to have nice size shrimp with the head on for the best flavor. The shrimp they used seemed like some cheap frozen baby shrimp. Very disappointing. Paid 19 bucks for hot water with no flavor and tiny shrimp.

Update on 8/22 Really good spot for Mariscos. On this trip, they were out of oysters and the 3 tacos dorados didn’t do it for me, but the mixed cocktail and the garlic grilled fish were spot on. Cocktail was fresh and had great flavors. Not all cucumber and caldo. The fish filet was cooked well and had a tomato garlic sauce that was amazing. The tacos dorados had a lot of shrimp, but i think there was cheese mixed in that didn’t mix well for me. Would have been better without the cheese for me. The chipotle dressing they serve with it was bomb though. I’m old school, you don’t mix cheese and seafood :) The other thing I would suggest is a second salsa option. The one salsa they have is tasty on food, but not the best for chips. ——- Came with med expectations, because just like sushi, only fresh seafood can be had on the west side of LA or a very busy spot. Anyway, it was great for me. Oysters were fresh enough, which is the test for me when it comes to Mariscos. Pretty basic with limes and crackers, but on point for what I wanted and expected. Cocktail was a bit sweet, but bearable and tapatio fixes all. Service was on point. Very friendly and quick. Ordered the first cocktail without onions. Hate to send something back, but no issues and an apology. Should not be a highlight, but these days it is. Especially when they don’t give any lip and just say sorry, I’ll fix it. Ordered a little extra to go and look forward to the next trip. Great experience overall for me and look forward to the next visit and hope to try a few more items.

Just give it a try. I'm no one to tell you what's good cuz we all have different taste but im sure and guarantee the first thing in your mouth is their exquisite homely made fresh salsa they give you with chips (Dine in only). Come and tell me you didn't go back!!! x)) "Give Me A High FiVE!!! 🤚🏻 if you have! x)) If you are out for lunch with a 30-minute mark, order I head cuz I do and still Dine in (4 thee free chips of course lol). 👊🏻Service is impeccable, trust me. Always the best!!! Just don't forget to have their most popular and represented -a-la-carte- trio taco plate "Tacos el Güero" 🤤 found nowhere else (only with imitators that are not close to their respectfuly recipes) 🔥🙏🏻💙

Honestly i was not expecting this experience I ordered aguachiles and omg they are soo disgusting no flavor whatso ever and the shrimp was cold it had frozen flakes im guessing they didnt let it out for awhile … and they didnt cut it in the middle in a form of a butterfly as they say… horchata was also not good i saw these reviews before arrival . And these reviews really had my hopes up for nothing .. the aguachiles were chewy! Yeah nasty. It only had 15 shrimpsnin them too i do not recommend this place

Not a very attractive place. The decorating is not like WoW! But the food! OMG! Supper fresh and the taste is like DAAAM!!! TO your mouth. Tasty delicious food 😋👌 for sure. And for mariscos I thought the pricing was very responsible for the quality. Will be a restaurant I frequent this year. Specially in the summer months. Fish-a-rones are highly recommend

I’m never coming again and I do not recommend! Not only is the food awful, the staff is also dishonest, and yet will still expect a tip for terrible service. I decided to try this restaurant out with my family because we were all convinced by the high reviews. However, the restaurant itself was completely empty when we arrived at lunch hour (around 1pm) which is never a good sign but we sat down and decided to try it out anyways. Our waitress took our order very quickly (we were her only customers) and told us that the fountain drinks were unavailable because the machine was broken so we obliged and ordered canned sodas. Tell me why the fountain taps were perfectly functioning for the staff to come and pour themselves drinks though?? Anyways, when the food arrived, I instantly regretted ever trying this place! The 7 Mares seafood soup was watered down, flavorless, with a couple mussels on top and what looked like canned clams. I usually order this soup at restaurants because of the abundance of seafood it usually has! It was disappointing and tasted disgusting, 0/10. We also tried their garlic fried fish; it smelled like an old stinky fish and tasted like dirty water so I’m guessing that this fish was already going bad. It was a complete waste of money, 0/10. The cocktail that we ordered and tostadas (mixtas) were also lacking freshness, seafood variety, and flavor. The salsa that we were served as an appetizer was awful as well. Have you ever tried a salsa that tasted like Tajin and tomatillo? Me either and I don’t recommend it. When it came time to pay, our waitress refused to give us a paper receipt because ‘we don’t do that here’ but reminded us to tip her. After lying to us and never coming to pick up all the dishes/napkins that we had pushed aside throughout our meal, AND I was still hungry because the food was inedible?? The audacity. Anyways, please do yourself a favor and don’t be fooled by the reviews! There are better restaurants with better services in LA and unfortunately, this place does NOT make the cut.
