LA | Mexican Seafood Ceviche Bistro 🍸 Perfect Date Spot

I came across this restaurant online—not many have visited yet, so I rushed to check out this hidden Mexican seafood bistro, Loreto 💘, before it gets crowded! It’s literally made for dates ✨ The courtyard is surrounded by green cacti 🌵, creating a full-on vibe~ Sipping drinks outdoors with your crush at dusk 🍸... That tipsy eye contact… I won’t say who’s blushing 😉 🐟 Order Recommendations: ▫️ Sashimi Yellowtail with lime and cilantro—fresh and zesty. Red onion adds a spicy kick, while Mexican herbs like Epazote and Pequí chili create rich layers—a mix of Japanese refinement and Mexican boldness. ▫️ Negro | Shrimp Ceviche Shrimp paired with avocado—creamy yet light. Spiciness comes from Chile Cascabel (a smoky dried chili), balanced with slightly bitter onion ash. Intense at first, but totally addictive! ▫️ Santa Barbara Grouper prepared using the Ike Jime method—firm and sweet. Served with Guacachile sauce—tangy and refreshing. Perfect for summer or as an appetizer. ▫️ Bang Bang! The name says it all! Crispy-coated shrimp with pickled onions, cucumber, and radish—crunchy and satisfying in one bite. ▫️ Tagliatelle Lobster pasta with Mexican twists—Poblano peppers add mild heat and sweetness. Recommend trying their tacos instead—more unique than the pasta! 💡 Tip: If you order ceviche, skip the tostadas—go for tacos for more variety! Next time, I’m trying their Pulpo Zarandeados (octopus platter)—saw many tables order it, looks incredible 😭 「LORETO」 📍 1991 Blake Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90039 The restaurant is right next to the LA River—perfect for a pre-dinner stroll with your crush.
