Mariscos Martin Restaurant — Restaurant in Baldwin Park

Me and my mom went out on a Saturday afternoon. She had an okay experience however I did not. I ordered a fish fillet plate and consequently I thought it was fried but it was okay; my mistake for not asking. Anywho I saw my plate and it did not look flattering. The fish looked raw, like they slapped it in some oil flipped it twice and bam it was done. I bit into it despite it's look and omg the fish was chewy.. kind of gross but I ate it anyway because 1. I was hungry and 2.well I didn't have time to send it back and reorder. That was 1 out of 3 complaints. The other was the service. The waitress named Alicia was rude from the start. We asked if they had a bigger coke bottle because the one they brought was awfully small. She didn't like that and made a face. When we finally got our food because they took forever, I asked for salad dressing and she blatantly ignored me so I got up to ask for it with one of the other waitress. Lastly when I got up to pay, I handed her my check and cash. When she gave me the change, I put out my hand and she just placed the cash on the table. Rude! And when I asked for a bag to go she gave me the bag kind of shooing me away. Totally unpleasant!!! I hope whoever eats here has a better experience...

I was in the mood for a seafood lunch,I have drove past this place so many times and often wondered about how good is the food so I took a chance and went in for the first time, and I was surprised the servings were huge I couldn't finish my lunch. I Like fried fish when its crispy outside and tender inside and it was delivered that way, this place is a hole in the wall kind of place, nothing fancy about the place, as long as it's clean that's enough for me it's not like am moving in or anything. There's lots of seatings,a television hanging up on opposite ends of the wall's so a person could get a good view on what's on the tube. This place also has a jute box if you want to listen to music while enjoying your meal. The staffing is bilingual, and friendly, would I return again yes. I Like to try everything twice just in case am having a bad day, If the second time around is the same as the first, then I would be able to give an honest opinion, so...

Ordered 3 things. One was a tostada mixtape. It was not particularly tasty and the presentation was poor. The next thing I ordered was a shrimp cocktail. It had a splash of ketchup and was almost tastless. It had cucumber and very little tomato, no cilantro. That was the worse and a waste of my money imo. It is worth mentioning that they have a variety of hot sauces on the table and they eventually bring you ketchup, lime and crackers. If you’re like me and want your cocktail to have a good flavor from the start this is not the place for you. The last thing we tried was the pezcado al mojo de ajo. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with plenty of garlic on one side. The rice was too soft for my liking and the beans were okay.

Lastly, the service is okay, leaning in the mediocre. They forgot one of my drinks and I didn’t bother...
