I came here with my partner for lunch & some happy hour drinks! We first ordered a couple of spicy margaritas(wine based not liquor) but they were perfect for lunch. I ordered the pollo con rajas which was so delicious, and my partner ordered the breaded shrimp taco which was also really good! The portions are fair for the price! Our server was great and quick to check up on us all throughout our meal. They have a parking lot in the back where you can park for free or you can sometimes be lucky with street parking.
Love it here! The ceviche and costa brava is always delishhhh! I've been coming here for ages. During the week they have a really solid happy hour that is one plate of one of their items with the soup (el presidential) seen here. The service is always excellent and they have great attitudes. They had sport playing on the background which I actually enjoy so if you wanna watch games, this is also a great location to do that!
We love coming to el pescador. And our favorite person is Mari. She's our go to gal. Everyone else is always also nice. But we are so use to her. Good food and drinks.
It was my first time at this El pescador location this past Saturday and I loved it! My bestie and her men (hubby and kid) brought me along with them for family dinner and I'm glad they did. When we got to the place we had to check in first and wait outside 'cause place was packed that there was no parking on the back so my bestie's hubby left us there and went to park their car. While waiting my bestie's kid noticed a lady outside making roses and hand ties with palm. He bought her some for and gave me one as a present. This lady was the sweetest! Also my bestie's kid is a gem and love to buy from street vendors. Now the Pescador ambiance was absolutely amazing. They had UFC fights on the TVs and all types of music on the speakers. My friends' kid got a carne asada burrito, my friend ordered the oysters and seafood tostada, her hubby ordered the carne asada tampiqueña and I had the salmon and shrimp plate. It came with two kind of shrimp one bacon wrapped and the other garlic flavored. So dang delicious! The rice and the beans that accompanied the dish were as tasty as the shrimps and salmon. The server brought us chips and salsa and was nice throughout our meal. There'a only 1 toilet inside ladies' restrooms so you had to wait to use it as I mentioned before the place was busy that day. Parking on the back but you have to enter restaurant in front. Also street and metered parking. I'll definitely be back.
Service was amazing, just disappointed in my fried fish.It had no flavor and oily, which it was a little crispier.But other than that service was amazing and hubby loved the wet burritos.
