Mariscos El Jato Jr.

The place was packed, the food was delicious and for two people we paid $40.00 and we tried 3 different plates. Well worth the wait.

Best ceviche in town. Wish I lived closer. My honey brought me here after he had tried their fish taco years ago .

Fresh Mexican seafood options. Dining can be loud at times when the banda and cumbias enhance the experience. Friendly staff, excellent to go service and fast when you order ahead via phone. The mixed botana is very generous and can feed 2 people easily. Fish/ shrimp tostada or fish tacos are easy picks if you don't know what to order on your first visit. I ordered 1 fish tostada order to go, it was under $7 with tax.

This place was way overdue for a visit. Believe when I say this family establishment goes beyond excellent service and quality. To all this visit took place on a Friday midday so parking was not an issue. Be warm that is not the case on the weekend. Parking will be tough and strongly suggested any ride share options. The seafood here is simply amazing, One fish taco alone is more than enough to fill you up but if you want to have their mix ceviche that's a plus! Their Jamaica is a must in my book. Once again much love and respect to the staff and will be coming back for more great stuff in the future.

Tostadas de pescado for brunch! Excellent choice. Fresh ceviche. Really hard tostada not easily broken into pieces. But the music was way too loud could even hear the person next to you.

Update: Haven't been here in a while. Still the best shrimp tacos ever and at a great price! Best Mexican seafood restaurant in East Los Angeles and probably Los Angeles if you factor in the price. 5 shrimp tacos, 2 fish tacos(more like fried fish platter), ceviche, and a round of sodas for 38 bucks. It's pretty spectacular. Oh and a top notch homemade salsa to die for. Got there early seated right away. Food came out right away. Nice people and great service. The list goes on and on and on and on. A gem in East Los!!!

Parking is very limited. Also street parking is tough. But worth the wait and hassle. The fish tacos, and shrimp cocktails were amazing. The taste is fresh and good. The atmosphere is like eating at a family members place. Great experience.

The service was really great . The man charging was handling everything well . The staff was really busy I didn’t see not 1 employee stop to take a small break . I love our Los Angeles people especially our Hispanic and Mexican working so hard. The parking is limited. There are only four spaces in the back parking lot and they are usually occupied. Also, if you want to place an order. It’s best to see recommendations online in order over the phone as the wait time could be a lot. My wait time was Thirty six minutes. It was worth the weight, but if you definitely have plans for the day or can’t stand on your feet too long, then it’s best to place orders over the phone. The food was so good we got the Mixto de Mariscos for tostadas . Also ordered the fish to make fish tacos . Everything was finished clean . These dishes served a party of 6 people , 6 hungry people . Everything was also packed properly. Things I would suggest is to do some remodeling to the the section close to the kitchen . Also a better spot to have the cash register instead of having people walk down close to the kitchen and the section where they bag and prep the orders as there are many employees walking in and out with customers. It isn’t safe for any of the parties . I also think that it would be nice for the restaurant to have a speaker that goes outside to call out order numbers, or names under the order .Besides that I enjoyed the service and the food so much . Thank you El Jato Staff
