- MMaryannOrange County •8 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe taco fish was absolutely delicious, and the tortilla chips were the best I’ve ever had—especially paired with the three different chili sauces! The place is small but perfectly cozy, making for a very enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommend!More infoBlind Coyote CantinaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Yorba Linda•4.5

- SPSalPLos Angeles •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 3, 2023Hidden gem for Mexican food. Walking in I thought this place was a typical bar; tv screens and loud music. It was a bar, plus more! When the Micheladas arrived in large cups I knew we were in for something special. Our appetizers arrived- empanadas and tacos enchilados, they weren’t skimping on the meat. Next the molcajete filled with ceviche and the camarones pacifico, I’ve never seen shrimp that large. If your a seafood lover you’ve got to try this place. The service was good and the food packed a punch of favor. We will be coming back!!!More infoMariscos El Mazatleco Mexican RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Huntington Park / Bell / Maywood•4.5
