Mariscos San Isidro — Restaurant in El Monte

My food was good , but the service was just something else , we waited to get seated for a while, and waited for someone to come to our table after a 10 min wait for some one to take our drink orders we waited agian for a good 10 min on our drinks and waited a good 15 min for the waitress to bring the menu and waited agian for her to take our order and for her to bring us refills 🤦 we basically waited the whole time, I just ended up leaving the food my kids did finish because she wasn't coming with any boxes for our food , never came with the tab after we told her , so we just got up and told the lady I wanna pay and leave already, I mean I can't complain about my food but they need to have some waitress that smile and not have such a ugly attitude, it was our first time coming to this restaurant, and we just didn't have the experience we would have liked, I wanted to leave happy and tell my family we will definitely come back but I know that's not...

Delicious seafood, one of the best around El Monte. There is usually a parking security that shows you where to park when you arrive at the restaurant. There is also another guard who checks for any potential weapons before entering the restaurant, which not a lot of seafood restaurants do. Live music is performed every Thursday and Sunday, so if you like banda music, you'll love it. It is going to be a very loud environment, so you'll have to do conversations for later. The restrooms are cramped, very small, but they were clean enough. Service was fast, but keep in mind that ceviche of tostada is actually a big plate of seviche (quite misleading). But the seafood tastes so good, and the drinks too. They sell lots of alcohol here, so I wouldn't recommend it here for a family dinner. Prices are not displayed in the menu, so if you are in a budget, this will be a no-no. Overall, the taste will make us visit this...

The music was too loud. I couldn't have a decent conversation with my family. The rice tasted a day old and so did the mojarra frita. They brought the desert out while we were still eating our dinner. Mind you, it was ice cream and cheesecake burrito. By the time we were ready to eat desert the ice cream was melted. Additionally, they forgot our second desert. Never eating here again! When I went to ask for the cheesecake the lady at the counter saw me and turned away. They finally brought the cheesecake after waiting more than 10 min. They said my debit card payment didn't go through and had me pull money from an ATM machine. When I checked my bank records I noticed they charged my card and it wasn't even the correct amount...
