We are from PA retired military. Place was as clean as a Friday inspection. Bathroom excellent. Glasses clean. Mezacal drink menu awesome. Food choice marvelous. Started with Crab Empanda delicious. Shrimp in a small iron skillet with excellent dipping bread and homemade chips. Had the whole red snapper flash fried. It was tender moist and came off the skeleton easily. It was served with a salad and squid ink rice that was perfectly prepared. Had the flan dessert.

If you love high quality food, you have to try this spot! The ingredients are top notch and you can really taste the difference. The tortillas are super unique, the cocktails are amazing (especially the mezcal ones, my favorite spirit), and the vibe is beautiful with great music. Service is 10/10. Highly recommend! 🙌🏻

One of my favorite restaurants in NYC. Food is amazing, a seafood lover's delight. Margaritas are delicious. The atmosphere is casual and a little campy. Roger is super hospitable. Love it.

Amazing food, service and ambience! We had an amazing night here. 4 kids and 3 adults with a last minute reservation and the staff were so accommodating and friendly. The drink menu has an impressive selection of mezcal which is my absolute favorite. 2 pages of mezcal drinks! All fresh house made ingredients. The food was also just as amazing. We tried the garlic butter shrimp, guacamole and agua chile shrimp. All were yummy and fresh with the right amount of spice. I tried the fish and lobster tacos. Both were food dance inducing! The homemade corn tortillas were hearty and held up to the generous fillings. I also tried the crab pilon which was a taco served on a fried plantain. That was super yummy too! I’m leaving here stuffed and happy!! Super cute spot for a date or family night out! Ps- they were playing awesome music too!!

Fantastic place all around. Great service, amazing food, especially the empanadas and tacos. We always get the guacamole (spicy) with the sampler platter. It comes with a beer, tostada, empanada, and taco!

I was born and raised in Tijuana, Mexico and would frequent Ensenada for fish tacos and mariscos. I can confidently say these fish tacos and tostada as are on par if not better than the ones I’ve had over my lifetime. The tortillas are homemade, which truly elevates the tacos here. Service is also incredible. A truly hidden gem, and my new favorite spot for mariscos!

It’s a nice hidden gem in the heart of sunset. We come here all the time for the amazing variety of beer drafts but today we were hungry and tried the food for the first time. It did not disappoint! I had three different selection of their tacos and each taco was so flavorful and delicious. I would recommend giving this spot a try if you’re looking for something lowkey and want to try something different from the ordinary. Our server was super nice and attentive. Definitely coming back again to try the rest of the menu. :)

Outstanding food and two pages of mezcal-based cocktails. Tortillas are made in house and sing oh-so-harmoniously with the sauce, flavor and texture in the best fish taco I have ever tried. The service is a bit confused, but sweet nonetheless. You may get things you didn’t order and did not get things you ordered, but anything that lands on your table will leave you mighty impressed. The highlights are the house guacamole, fish tacos, red snapper in garlic and butter sauce.

Best Fish Tacos!! Wow. The ceviche tostada was also amazing! I tried the jalapeno tuna taco and crab empanada. And of course I had to try the coconut flan everyone is raving about. And YES! Do not leave without trying this! Drinks were fresh, strong and not tart or sour. Felt pretty good after two. Lol. The staff were so attentive and we did not wait long for anything! I wish I knew about this place sooner! It's actually a bit hidden. But now that you know, come and check this spot out. You will not be disappointed.

My friend and I went to check out The King of Fish at 5pm on a Tuesday after seeing the rave reviews. I made a reservation, but it wasn't necessary! I do want to add that it was drizzling, so that could be why the restaurant was not super busy. The ambiance has a nice, cozy feel and they commit to the nautical theme with their outfits! There was a prettier seating area in the back, but it looked like it was under renovation. I had three tacos: shrimp ($6), fish ($6), and octopus ($7). My friend got the platter sampler ($20). The highlight was the freshness of the seafood. That being said, I do like the taste of fresh shrimp, light fish, and octopus, but find the profiles to be on the mild side. I can appreciate the lightness but prefer a more robust flavor profile playing with sauces, spices, and vegetables in the taco. I also liked that their taco shell was robust enough to not fall apart but maintained the soft-taco vibes. My favorite was the fish because the batter provided more flavor. Service here was warm and welcoming! Our original server just spoke Spanish, so the bartender stepped in to help us translate. They did multiple check backs to make sure we were okay and did not pressure us with the check. If you're looking for cozy vibes and fresh seafood small bites, then check out The King of Fish!

Truly one of the most bizarre food experiences in NYC. Horrible food that is all coated in mayo and didn’t taste fresh, horrible and rude service, and they sat us in a freezing cold back room with barely any heating. It’s a shame they claim to be Mexican because this was nothing like an authentic Mexican spot. They don’t take card either.

Juan Veras

Horrible...where do I begin they sat me and family in the cold. The service was terrible, they dint give us the correct drinks or food. The food was disgusting why and how would you feed can octopus at a restaurant??? why just gross and they do not make an effort to remedy the situation. From the terrible comments left by the the owner I can tell they have no manners or good business practices. classless group of people!!!
