Mariscos "La Cazuela" — Restaurant in Bakersfield

I am an avid mariscos fan. I've grown up making it at home and eating it fresh in Mexico. I prefer the lemon marinated shrimp over cooked shrimp so I have a strong biased. My go to dish are the lemon marinated dishes like the ceviche and agua chile. My absolute favorite go-to is the chaka especial tostada.

The chaka tostada regular excludes the caracol and callo. What makes these dishes amazing is the flavor; perfect salt, lots of lemon, and great spice.

I highly recommend...
