“ I tried the spicy shrimp burrito at Clemente Seafood, and it was amazing! The shrimp were super tasty, and the spice level was just right. The burrito was packed with fresh ingredients and really filling. Great food and fast service--definitely worth a visit! ”
“ My favorite ceviche- and that is saying something...., I come here maybe 4 times a year at lunch for ceviche. The owner knows me now so I don't really need to order. If there is lull we chitchat but for the most part he is busy. The ceviche always tastes fresh and I love how small the pieces are cut up. It makes it easier to get a lot on a chip. The sauce they serve with it is kind of sweet, kind of sour. If anyone knows what it is, please let me know- I want to put it in fruit for a platter. It's a hole in the wall but they are pumping out good fresh food. Minus one star for overcharging for wine and the sketchy clientele that is sometimes present. ”
“ The service was great. Always checking on us. The food was amazing. I had Bacon wrapped shrimp and it was delicious. I have had it in other places but I really liked it here. Super tender inside and crunchy bacon. The plate was big. Rice and beans were good. My mom had the shrimp ceviche and it was great. The shrimp mixture was fresh and that red sauce they give you is on point I will be coming back. Super delicious. ”
“ This place is absolutely amazing!!! Should be a line out the door! Super fresh Seafood and my favorite is the Shrimp Tostada and Shrimp Diablo plate with beans and rice! Also, cleanest kitchen where they are chopping up fresh herbs, vegetables and peeling the shrimp. A MUST TRY! ”
“ My go-to place for ceviche in Santa Ana/Costa Mesa! I always get the best service when I come here. You can tell that the owners are passionate about the food and service that they provide to customers. I always get the ceviche when I come here. I ordered the combination ceviche. It came with shrimp, fish, octopus, and more. After tax and everything else, it was about $21. It comes with one tostada, a few packets of saltines, and cocktail sauce. I would recommend ordering more tostadas. I just wish it came with more avocados ”
“ This is definitely my go to spot for ceviche fried fish mariscos in OC close to home without having to leave to LA county for seafood. Service was fast and there is an indoor seating area. The outside of the plaza was remodeled and it does the job for me. The micheladas were ok too. ”
“ I've been here several times since I first tried out this place and each time was exceptional. Unfortunately the atmosphere is not very lively which is why I'm updating my review now. I think more people should try out this place especially for their ceviches which is what I always get. I believe it's the owner who is always serving us and he's very kind and attentive. The food portions are large, tastes, and fresh. and the chips and salsa are ”
“ Nice, casual Mexican seafood restaurant. I came for lunch on a Friday with my mom. We ordered the seafood cocktail with four types of seafood and a plate of beans. We didn't love that the cocktail had so much fake crab, but we liked the other seafood and flavors. Overall it was a solid spot for a weekday lunch. ”
“ The Fish is very fresh! The ambiance is very free and airy. Great lighting inside from the outdoors. The ceviche is piled on high . I would recommend to ask for the tostada on the side next time. The tostada is crispy and good quality. Shrimp cocktail is savory and sweet. Add your tapatio, lime and salt. Would recommend this spot. Service is very friendly and fast. Ceviche and A warm sunny day = perfection. Come try this place out ”
