If you're on the Westside and are tired of the long haul across town every time you want a good fish taco, you're in luck! Also featured at the first annual LA Weekly Tacolandia! Read more

The two most unique things on the menu: pineapple salsa and cauliflower tostada. The shrimp/fish/scallop tacos are great, but nothing extraordinary. Cool little beachy/skate vibe

The fish and tofu tacos are both great, but the shrimp and scallop tacos are even better! The seafood/tofu is all fried, but the batter is super light--think tempura, but lighter!

The tofu cocktail is awesome!!! ...& their veg tacos. They have a good variety of hot sauces, not just the usual (Tabasco, Chalula, ....) :-)

Seriously try everything, had the whole menu minus the Tofu and was really impressed. Great service from the owners and the Pineapple salsa really bought out the right notes!

Oh, don't miss the shrimp or scallop tostadas with the crazy good cashew salsa! (You can get the cashew salsa on the side to put on other dishes too!)

The fish tacos are the bomb, but I really liked the shrimp tacos!! Even the scallop coctele is fantastic!!

The Tofu Taco is outstanding! Ask for it vegan and they drizzle it with cashew creme!

If you're veggie, get the cauliflower tostada, it's fuckin awesome. Mixto tostada is no joke either

Fish tacos are what everyone raves about here and they are right. They also have Ceviche but I wasn't crazy about it - just not special enough.

Great shrimp and scallop tacos. Good value for quality of food. Not many seats tho!

You get one sauce per taco. Get the pineapple habenero sauce. Fish tacos yummy.

food is good for the westside, but not great. It's a little overrated, overpriced, and the people that run this place make it seem like they don't need to provide good service. Um, you do.

I swear to fucking god: good fish tacos on the westside. Blew the back of my freaking mind right out of my head

Don't let the gringos at the counter fool you, this place is authentico as any on the west side.

The tacos here are amazing! Very refreshing and delicious.

Good, interesting take on tacos and tostadas, just don't expect fast service and beware of order errors.
Dalit TroyceJuly 3, 2013
This place takes FOREVER!!!! It took an hour and a half to get two fish tacos! Owner/Manager (not sure which) isn't very friendly either. Tacos are good, but not good enough for the wait or service

The mixed tostadas are to die for.
Nico DonovanAugust 14, 2014

I don't care how good the food is; the dudes who run this joint really need to pick up the pace!

Tacos are good and the dude behind the counter was weird, not nice but not mean. Probably not a real human being, hmm.
