Went on a Friday happy hr, paid like 24 dollars for a drink and the 2 tacos and ceviche. Food was fire and drinks in less than 20 minutes I devour it. Fast waitress.

My daughter gave ne a surprise party here. It was great. The food was good. Everyone had a great time. There is lots of parking. The salsa and chips are good. The margaritas - they have a variety, from the classic to strawberry - and other cocktails as well. Great place for an eveing out, or a lunch date.

Love eating here. I've been to two others El Pescador restaurant and mine if them come close to being this good. The food is always great, service and atmosphere are awesome. The food comes too. There is also a bar (club like) with great music going on. Never hung out in there, but the door is usually open and your can hear the music and the people having a good time.

I went with my coworkers and we had a wonderful time. The staff was wonderful. Especially our server Mari. The food and the cocktails were so good. We loved being in the cantina. The music was also great.

The food here is out of this world! Pork belly and fig was my favorite. Artichoke was so good I could have eaten 4 plates of them! Authentic cocktails too, Mescal old fashioned amazing! Some of the photos look red because we were under a big red umbrella. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!

Exceptional food for a great price. The few times that me and my wife have been, we have not been able to finish what we have ordered. Compared to a lot of other spots out there with the exception of the drinks the food is reasonably priced for what you will get without skimping on the quality. The drinks are about what you expect to pay at other establishments but again these drinks are definitely a cut above the rest. The service is great and pretty quick. We don’t live anywhere close to the area, we’re from the IE and when we find ourselves in the area we stop in to treat ourselves to a great meal with a great atmosphere. Everyone has been friendly and punctual. Make the trip, you won’t be disappointed. 🤙🏾

As soon as we walked in Brenda greeted us with a warm and welcoming demeanor. We told her that we wanted to sit at the bar area. She allowed us to pick our own table. Then she introduced us to our server. Leo. Leo was friendly offered us the daily drink specials and appetizers. Great drinks and excellent service provided by Brenda and Leo. Will definitely be back.

Service was exceptional. Always appreciate when you're greeted with a warm smile and positive attitude. We were seated right away and our servers did a great job, especially Samantha. The seafood was fresh, the guacamole was exceptional, and the drinks were delicious. If you drink alcohol, make sure to try De La Rosa. They prepare it super well (Mazapan based). I ordered Mar y Mar, which was white fish, shrimp, and a couple of sides. I believe the server said the white fish was sea bass. You have your choice of how the shrimp comes out, so I asked for estilo Costa Azul (bacon wrapped). Delicious! I was not expecting to have the potato salad steal the show, but it did. Sooooo good! I highly recommend this place. They also had a very large group in the restaurant, so it seems to be a great place for that too.

Came here for the first time for a birthday dinner and overall had a great experience. The food portions are much larger than I anticipated so I ended up having lots of leftover food. The food was definitely delicious and on point, the service was timely and the servers were friendly. I'd say that this is definitely worth the money, and worth coming back to again!

It is a very nice and big restaurant. The salmon, seafood cocktail, shrimp tacos were great. The carne asada tacos were a bit dry and lack salt / lemon. Overall, still a place with great and big portion foods. We went there for dinner, the foods came out quick, but the services were a bit slow. I get it that one staff had to help out many customers, but we had to ask for a box twice, and asked for the check three times before they helped us out.

Has a ton of potential but always slow. I was charged 2.50 for more chips. No decent restaurants do that. The service was good, and the atmosphere is excellent. My issue is with management. Seems too disconnected and unwilling to do better. The menu is a bunch of pictures with absolutely no description which says a lot about the demographic they aim to attract (hence the charging of chips). All and all i hope this place does well, but due to its current leadership, I don't see that happening

They only had seats in the bar area, which is very loud and obnoxious if you're just looking for a relaxing lunch. They weren't serving their lunch specials (maybe because it was Valentines Day weekend). The portion were big, but they only gave us a couple of tortillas. We asked for flour but got corn and flour. We asked for no onions on our nacho appetizer, and that wasn't what we got. The food came out fast and wasn't that fresh.

The service is so-so; honestly, they didn't have many customers, and yet things still took a long time to arrive. I waited 30 minutes for my drink. I definitely wouldn't go back to this place.

Went with a large group about 15 people, terrible service. I had to ask for my drink 5 times and waited nearly 30 mins to receive it (after the whole table received theirs..), which it finally came out but was wrong. Sent it back, ordered something else. Lemon drop was more like lemon water, no kick and no flavor. Nacho appetizer plate was pretty tasty but very large and pricey. Had to ask servers usually 3-4 times for everything before they brought it (mind you we had 3 servers). They only let us split the check in two, which is very unwelcoming for large groups. Why can't we just do a bunch of small checks? Came off like they knew they were getting large group gratuity so didn't have to work for the tip. They have a club type thing on the bar side on the weekends, very loud. There are plenty of other better options nearby, highly recommend going elsewhere. Would not return.

On Dec. 29th 2025 when we arrived later the night only the bar area was open, and that was okay for our group of 9. Everything started out good but after the hostess took our order she visited with every table and never came back to our table until we asked for our bill to leave. She only said how tired she was and wanted to leave. Because of this experience we're not returning to this restaurant ever. Plus she got ZERO TIP.

I've been to this restaurant many times at other locations, and it's actually one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with today's visit at this particular location. I stopped in for lunch and sat in the bar area since there was a wait on the main dining side. Ivan was our server. During our visit, I noticed he was the only server in the bar, with some help from his manager, and they were handling around 4–6 tables. I started with a cucumber margarita, then ordered a chicken plate. The chicken was undercooked and had a rubbery texture. On the second dish, the vegetables were also undercooked, and the potatoes in the potato salad were hard. Throughout the meal, our server rarely checked in unless we flagged him down or after the issue was already brought to his attention. While I did enjoy the shrimp tacos. The overall service and food quality were disappointing. To make matters worse, silverware wasn't brought back after my first plate was taken away. I appreciate that I wasn't charged for the dish that was sent back, but given this was my first visit to this location, it's unlikely I’ll return.
