106 Seafood Underground

The 20 Best Mexican Restaurants In Los Angeles

"106 Seafood serves mariscos that will reboot your tastebuds in a residential South LA backyard. Sure, the restaurant’s bathroom is technically located inside a person's home, but these dishes—like a shrimp ceviche punched up with tart green apple—have stuck with us longer than 90% of what we've eaten in restaurants with dedicated lavatories. (Not so surprising, considering the chef comes from the Coni’Seafood family.) Come sit on plastic chairs under a canopy and snack on piles of crispy fish chicharrón and langoustines sizzling in a sour-spicy-salty-creamy-who-knows-what-the-hell-it-is sauce. Just bring cash and prepare to flip out." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder
