Mariscos El Perihuete — Restaurant in Lynwood

Mariscos El Perihuete lies nestled on the corner of a busy lot in a calm neighborhood within the city. Luckily, this location has plenty of parking and plenty of seats within to boot. A friendly staff member took care of our group, sitting us at a big corner booth with the shades pulled down to block the rays of the setting sun.

Tried their:

Taliban- A complimentary cup of shrimp consommé with flavors imported straight from Sinaloa. Superbly seasoned, and garnished with shrimp and other little morsels within, including diced red onion. Squeeze a tiny bit of the lime juice into it for a beautiful flavor that makes you smack your lips and take as much time as possible to take in its aromas and flavor profiles. Was so good, I ended up ordering a medium container of it to go.

Taco A La Uyu Yui- A shrimp soft taco with filling that had been tossed in a very spicy sauce, then topped with cabbage, sliced onions, and a dab of creamy aioli. This taco will definitely make you wipe the sweat off your brow with the spicy mixture the shrimp is tossed in before serving. It’s well worth it, the shrimp was cooked nice and the spices were pristinely balanced.

Tostada Mixta- Precooked shrimp, tender octopus, imitation crab, and imitation abalone with cucumber, tomatoes in a properly seasoned citrus marinade. One of the biggest tostadas I’ve ever eaten. There was so much ceviche on this tostada that I could have made at least two more portions out of it. While big in its portions and full of flavor, I definitely could have done without the imitation seafood. Real and natural is ALWAYS better, in any situation.

Obviously, you can never go wrong with having a Michelada with your ceviches as an accompaniment. That being said, if you’re a bit adventurous with what you eat, I recommend trying the stingray tacos. They were one of my favorites along with the Ceviche Mixta Tostada. I will definitely have to come back to try the other dishes on their menu that they set aside for the weekends, which include the Campechana, scallops, and bloody clams. Either way, I know where to eat whenever I’m in...

I'm surprised there is sim any bad reviews. Me and my dad Leo love going there. we go at least 3 times a week. Their shrimp tostada is so good as well as their fish tostada. my FAVORITE thing is the little cup of shrimp broth they bring you as an appetizer it's AMAZING ME ENCANTA. Their caldos calientes de mariscos are yummy as well! Gracias a Rosie...

They provide a free cup of Shrimp Broth and 1 single shrimp inside of the cup. I ordered the Jiva immigration crab and a Bowl of Beef Birria. At this place you will need to season prepare your cocktails and Birria. I had been here before and the last time it seemed to have more flavor. Service was great left a $20 for our...
