The Best Mariscos Restaurants in LA

"As you might guess from the ocean blue paint job and nautical knick-knacks on the walls, this compact Mid-City restaurant does a spectacular variety of seafood dishes pulled from all over Latin America: fried fish tacos, Mexican and Peruvian ceviches, and a silky Caribbean seafood stew with squid and mussels. Our favorite, though, is the unique Guatemalan-style ceviche with blood clams tossed in an inky black sauce of lime, mint, and Worcestershire. The clams are fresh and flavorful, the tostadas are crisp, and the Jarritos you’re sipping on is ice-cold (no beer here, sadly). Dab on some of their super-spicy homemade hot sauce, served in a mustard-yellow squeeze bottle, if you dare. Cash only" - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox
