IXTACO TAQUERIA REVIEWS
This place is amazing. I wish I lived here, so I could eat here every week. They have different specials like Taco Tuesdays where tacos are 15% off. They also have 420 happy hour every day starting at 4:20 where everything is 20% off. There’s a tiny parking lot and just a few tables outside. Was able to grab a table, but I imagine lots of people get takeout. They have a variety of meats. They also have a “secret menu” that’s handwritten and taped to the ordering window. The agua frescas rotate out, and the day’s choices are written on a little chalkboard by the ordering window.
Great little spot. Killer value on gourmet tacos. Lobster, and fried scallop tacos were legite. And tasty salsas. Parking and seating are limited. And they do get busy. But definitely a spot that I highly recommend!!
This place is amazing...unfortunately the parking lot is minimal, but I'd park 3 blocks away and walk it there...Food was fresh and perfect amount of seasoning. This place is a must try.

LA BUFADORA BAJA GRILL REVIEWS
The pastor burrito was delicious but the star of the show was the fish tacos they were amazing me my brother halfed a burrito chips and two tacos with large drinks not bad at all for around 25 we walked out full and talking about what we were going to try next time if you're second guessing this place just come and try it great food and service the soda machine was leaking but I'm sure it be fixed didn't take away from the food or service.
Um, yes plz. Delicious fish tacos. The potato ones are folded like little empanadas and they are great too. Shrimp tacos also solid. What can I say, for a poor taco starved visiting expat like me, my first crunchy, juicy, salsa-y bite into their taco was like the first breath after a coma.
This place is very small there's only a few tables inside and outside. When I went it was busy so it took about 15 mins or so for an order of 4 people to come out. Besides that, food is pretty good. The Carne asada meat is well seasoned and tastes delicious. The soft shrimp tacos were my favorite, flavorful, crunchy batter and good quantity. Parking: it is in a big shopping center, barely any parking.

EL PESCADOR BAR & GRILL REVIEWS
For the price point this place goes above and beyond. And they have a few wings you can pose by that are really cute (bonus if you're roughly my height because it fits perfectly (5'8")). We got the ceviches (combo platter) and it was a huge portion. That was the best part of the meal, and with the service, why I gave 5 stars. Even the squid was a nice texture and the lemons were generous :)! The servers and server assistants were perfectly attentive and kind. Our server was Chris, she was very knowledgeable about my allergy and steered me away from dishes containing flour :).
Love it. And the candy shots are the best. Ceviche is so good. I recommend this place . The bartender on Saturday nights, knows how to make a drink. 5 star excellent ???? drinks. Thank you. Will be back.
ust want to give a shout out to Ana and Priscilla. They made our night. Our original server (older looking woman with glasses) seemed like she was purposely ignoring us like we did something to her and we thought if we had to wait and be ignored while she was helping another table that was seated after us, we were going to leave. But Ana made sure she took care of us and she was great, Priscilla was also amazing and attentive and they totally changed our mood and experience. They are very much appreciated oh! and the food was delicious!
