17 Best Restaurants in LA’s Eastside | Eater LA

"Jaime Lechuga, his wife Virginia, and their friend Epi Osuna have been preparing Enseñada-style cocteles, tostadas, and tacos at Mariscos los Lechugas for the past decade. Locals call it the lechuga trailer, which is parked in El Sereno from 11 a.m. until it sells out." - Eater Staff

I’m giving this restaurant a well-deserved 5 stars for the food! I ordered the ceviche de camarón tostada, and it was absolutely delicious. I also got to try my guy’s aguachile, and they were just as flavorful. The seasoning was spot on—I didn’t feel the need to add anything extra, which says a lot. As for the service, I’m giving it 4 stars. The staff was friendly and attentive, but they were a bit busy, so there were moments when service was slightly slower. Nothing major, just something to note. The atmosphere also gets 4 stars. It’s an outdoor setup in a yard, which I personally found really comfortable and enjoyable. However, I know some people might prefer a more traditional indoor setting, so I wanted to mention it for those who care about that. Overall, the food alone makes this place worth visiting—I’ll definitely be coming back!

Fireee! The reviews didn't lie. Food was bomb and made freshly to order in their outdoor kitchen. I've been seeing more of these family owned at home kitchen restaurants and I fully support that - esp if they are cooking up truly delicious homemade stuff. Call to pick up or drive to their neighborhood and park on the streets to order in person. There's 2 tables with about 8 chairs or so around and it's a cozy seating situation, but I picked up togo since the other table out of the sun was taken The family greeted me and I let them know it was my first time and they kindly offered a Dorados on the house which was sweet! It was creamy, filled with shrimp, freshly made. Stayed crispy when I brought it home to eat. I also enjoyed their Baja fish taco and a Pulpo (octopus) taco. Both excellent but I really liked their octopus the most given it was tender and flavorful. Best octopus I've had in a minute. Went back and tried their Aguachiles verde. No skimping on the shrimp and really fresh and flavorful. 👏 awesome stuff Excited to try their loaded fries, the Ahogadas (the same as dorados but splashed with a tomato salsa ) and probably a burrito next time! It looks sooo good. Glad to have a Mariscos place not too far from me and that it's locally owned.

Enjoyed the food very much. Service was awesome. Octopus tacos, shrimp fried tacos, regular tacos, chiveche, and shrimp cocktail were all good. Pro Tip: Thursdays have specials! Update: service is still too notched. Food is still amazing.

Been here twice now. If you want spicy aguachiles, this is where it's at. They know what's up. Got the red aguachiles with callo and green aguachiles. If you're a first timer they give you a free taco dorado which is bomb with their guac sauce. Must try for sure.

OMG this place was a great find. My partner and I wanted mariscos but didn’t want to drive far and found this place 3 mins away from us! They offer a free taco dorado (hard shell shrimp taco with potato and cheese, topped with cabbage, crema, and guac dressing) to first time customers and they were made to perfection! I ordered the shrimp cóctel and my partner ordered the aguachile— they were phenomenal. Service was quick, they take phone orders, and they do catering too! We will definitely be back!

As someone who is currently very mindful of how and where I spend my hard-earned money, I approach dining out with care. Unfortunately, Mariscos El Chito did not meet even basic expectations. Upon arrival, I was completely ignored while staff loudly argued over a messed-up order. Once they settled down, the woman who finally took my order was visibly flustered and offered no greeting—just a rushed, “I guess I can take your order.” That should have been my cue to leave, but I was craving mariscos and decided to wait it out. During the wait, yet another incorrect order created more chaos. I waited nearly an hour for my food, only to receive an incomplete order. Running late for my lunch break, I had no choice but to leave with what I was given. The food? Unfortunately, it was underwhelming and undercooked. I ordered a Baja shrimp taco and a fish basket—both tasted like the seafood was dipped in batter and barely cooked before being served. The jamaica drink, while flavorful, had chunks of hibiscus flowers that made every sip uncomfortable. A small side of avocado cost $2, and was maybe a quarter of a small avocado—pretty steep even considering grocery prices. To top it off, I noticed my food was ready and sitting on the counter, but the cashier was too distracted gossiping and updating her boss on a phone call to hand it over in a timely manner. I spent $53, left hungry, disappointed, and late returning to work. The drinks were decent (aside from the flowers), but $6.50–$7 for a 20 oz. cup seems a tad excessive. Bottom line: Great concept, poor execution. The service was chaotic, the food felt unsafe to eat, and the value just isn’t there. I won’t be returning.

Located in the yard of a house. They gave us a free taco for each new customer which was nice of them. The Diablo shrimp had a great spice that was manageable for me and lots of flavor with plenty of shrimp. It is a bit on the heavy side so a drink will be necessary on the side.

What an amazing place to eat!! So far everything we’ve tried & sampled has not let us down!! Great people there working and Mr chito is a cool cat tending to everyone’s needs It’s a family thing and it shows how much they all care of the client The bad..parking (that’s it) Unfortunately if there is no parking in driveway you have to look on street Other than that..10 out of 5 stars..

A truly hidden gem for mariscos in El Sereno right in front of someone's home. What we got: Taco Dorados (5/5): Super crispy, not too oily. Shrimp had a great bite and bounce to it. Salsa added the extra kick of spice to give it the perfect balance. Note: First time customers get this for free! Taco de pulpo (4/5): Perfectly cooked and tender octopus. Not as memorable as the other dishes we had, but still very solid. Aguachile (5/5): Bright, acidic, and fresh. You can really taste the quality and freshness. Extremely refreshing and perfect on a hot day. Camarones a La Diabla (6/5): Spicy, flavorful and plump shrimp. The sauce is everything! We were eating every last bit of rice. The sauce is that good. Get the shrimp head on and spicy for maximum flavor. Overall, Mariscos El Chito offer amazing and flavorful mariscos at reasonable prices. An absolute must visit if you're in the area. Can't wait to be back!

This place has an almost perfect rating of 4.9 stars, and it's so well deserved. From the food quality and portion to the service, everything is just perfect. They even give each first timer a free dorados taco! We ordered the shrimp baja taco, fish baja taco, taco de pulpo, of course the free dorados tacos, and the mixto ceviche. Everything was so delicious, but we especially LOVED the ceviche. We all agreed that this was the BEST CEVICHE OF OUR LIVES. So fresh with no fishy taste at all, so generous with huge pieces of seafood, and so perfectly limey and refreshing. All for only $18?!?! When I come back, I would get the mixto ceviche, the dorados taco, and the tacos de pulpo! Such a vibe eating in the garage and watching them cook. And these tacos were not greasy at all!! Please come and support this small family business :)

This spot is wellllll worth their reviews. I was shook to see such a high average rating but when I tried their food, it made sense. You might drive past them initially; they're located on a residential street in a driveway-turned-outdoor-kitchen. Parking on the street is hit or miss but they let us park in the driveway, which was so kind because it was raining! Brianna and Alma (sorry if I misspelled the names) were so friendly and warm! It was our first time there, so Brianna gave us two dorado tacos on the house. They were delicious, so hot and crunchy with a creamy/cheesy shrimp and potato filling inside. I loved the guacasalsa on top. We tried one grilled, one fried of both the shrimp and the fish. All were excellent. I loved the seasoning of the grilled fish and shrimp, while my partner loved the crunch of the fried ones. We also tried the pulpo (octopus) tacos, which were perfectly tender and juicy and went great with their house red salsa. Lastly, we each tried a vampiro, a hot crispy tortilla loaded up with grilled shrimp, cheese, crema, onion/tomato/cilantro, and guacasalsa. That may have been our favorite thing we got, though everything was delicious. This family run business is such a gem, and I cannot wait to come back. If you want tasty, fresh, made-to-order food and kind, welcoming service, definitely check this spot out. They've been doing their thing for 7 years, and I hope they stick around for at least 7 more!!!

Placed a phone order and after 25 minutes my order was ready for pickup. I ordered the following: Large aguachiles - chunks of fresh, raw shrimp, sliced red onions, cucumber cubes, and slices of avocado marinating in juice. Very good and would absolutely recommend! Jumbo shrimp plate - deveined jumbo shrimp cooked with finely minced garlic. Smelled fantastic while waiting for my takeout order and tasted delicious. Shrimp tacos - deep fried shrimp with pico de gallo, cabbage slaw, and crema. Standard and also very good. I pulled up to pay and was greeted warmly by the chef and cashier/server. While ringing me up, the cashier asked if it was my first time there, to which I replied yes. She offered a shrimp dorado on the house, which I thought was a nice surprise. I'll be sure to order this on my next visit!

My aunt and uncle had been raving about this place for a while, but we hadn't had the chance to visit until today--and wow, they were right! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Here's what we feasted on: Mixta ceviche Ahogados Shrimp basket Shrimp cocktail Shrimp taco They nailed every single dish! I can't wait to come back and explore more of their menu. So good!

Everything I have had here is delicious! The seafood is so fresh and flavorful! I love coming here. There is some minimal seating in the yard. It's literally in someone's yard. They take zelle. I love the garlic jumbo shrimp and dorados. There is street parking in the neighborhood.

I cannot say enough great things about this spot! It was my first time visiting (thank you to my friend Jess that recommended we go here after a hike)! The AMAZING quality and flavor of the food, the INCREDIBLE ambiance and the IMPECCABLE service is unmatched. We ordered the aguachile, taco de pulpo, taco de marlin and two baja fish tacos...everything was SO DELICIOUS. As if that weren't enough, because it was my first time, they gave me a taco dorado (which comes with shrimp, potato and cheese) on the house and I ate it while we waited for our order to be made. I will 100% be back again and will be telling everyone I know about this place!

The best new spot in the neighborhood! Food quality and flavor is insane. Even though it's in a families yard it's a great vibe and the employees are super sweet and attentive. It was packed when we came on a Friday night. The free taco for your first visit is soooo bomb. I will order that next time and gladly pay. Their salsa is great too. The pulpo taco was best I have ever had. My husband got the burrito and it was HUGE. So yummy. Don't walk run to try this place.

I came upon these goodies when my handyman asked if I wanted some shrimp tacos. Sure, I don't turn down free food. When he dropped off my food, he told me where the tacos came from and you better believe I did some research. How has this place been this close to me and I was wholly unaware of its existence?! This is the second local gem my handyman finds. Someone nominate him to be a Yelper lol. I couldn't believe the number of rave reviews this place received, especially with its location and the fact it is run out of someone's home. My taco was delish. I had never had a shrimp taco with potato before. Perhaps I live under a rock but this flavor combo was new to me and I liked it. While I tried the red sauce it came with on the side, for me it was perfect with just the crema and guac. I had two and I was satisfied. For those worried about the food coming from a house, I did not get sick. I am definitely looking forward to trying other items on the menu recommended by other Yelpers. As the food was brought to me, I don't have any special tips about this place but I read if it's your first time they will hook you up with a free taco.

As a Mexican seafood fan, I can confidently say that Mariscos el Chito blew my expectations out the water. Mariscos El Chito is a family-owned business operated out of their home. While there isn't a designated parking area, street parking was not difficult to find. There is limited seating available but no biggie, totally understandable considering it's literally someone's driveway. My boyfriend and I ordered two large Aguachiles Verdes. We waited around 25 minutes since they make everything to order. The wait was definitely worth it...I can't say enough good things about the Aguachiles. They were perfectly limey, juicy, spicy, fresh and flavorful! It quite literally is a flavor bomb and dare I say...probably the best Aguachiles I've had in a long time. You can definitely tell this dish was made with love that only comes from homemade food! In other words, it was BOMB ASF. Additionally, I'm happy to report that even the large portion was pretty generous. The price was congruent with the quality and quantity. My boyfriend and I had enough leftovers to fill up a large to-go cup! Personally, I enjoy seafood on the rarer side but I did notice that the shrimp was kind of raw/blue when they initially brought it out. While I appreciated that they made us a fresh order, I think marinating the shrimp for a little while longer would have bumped our experience to 5 stars. Thankfully, the shrimp tasted very fresh and it "cooked" in the lime juice eventually. The service was great and the young lady who took our order was very sweet and offered us 2 shrimp tacos as first-timers. The complimentary tacos were perfectly crispy, hot and flavorful! Overall, I give Mariscos El Chito a solid 4.5/5 stars! I can't wait to go back and literally eat everything on the menu!

A nice hidden gem. There's plenty of great tacos in LA this one is worth the stop. Literally home made. You eat at the yard where you can see them cook. Seafood was cooked perfectly! When I come back, I will have to have the octopus again, plus the crispy shrimp. Plus I recommend to add the Mexico Lindo hot sauce to their house salsa to add a lil bite and sweetness.

This place is great. My son found this place on our way home from Mother's Day activities. It was a great find definitely coming back . The tacos dorados were amazing best I've had . They don't compare to other marisco places .

Family owned, extremely nice service and the tacos are to die for. Been raving about it to my family and friends whenever mariscos come up in conversations. Only issue was I went at the end of summer time and the mosquitos ate me alive.

Food was delicious I got 1 taco dorado, 1 taco ahogado , 1/2 ostiones preparados and the loaded fries. Service wise they are all friendly this was my 1sr time here and the people make feel very welcome . I 100% recommend this place its way better than mariscos lo 4 vientos prices are reasonable. So people come try them out I came from south LA to try them the owner is very friendly is worth the drive, time and price

The food is here is serve fresh. The owners are welcoming. FYI if you're a first timer they hook you up with a shrimp taco and let me tell you... it was so good! It was a bit hot since it's an outside setting but we didn't mind. The seafood was too good to care lol

Support your local taquero!! What's more local than Mariscos El Chito? An operation quite literally homegrown... with that backyard cookout kinda vibes and ambience. You feel like you're just stopping by your tio's house real quick to grab a bite before the Dodger game... fair prices, quality ingredients and most importantly FRESH MARISCOS. The fish and shrimp tacos... a chefs kiss, voila! Magnifique!

We were in town and were craving some seafood. Got a little skeptical since it was at a house but the food was so flavorful and delicious. They took our orders and were very helpful. The only complaint I have was seeing a house cockroach while eating in the shaded tables when we were almost done eating. (My kids freaked out and called out the bug). I'd still risk coming back and hopefully no more critters.

This place was recommended by a friend of a friend. True LA hidden gem. If you need to eat your seafood by the sea it isnt for you. You will be enjoying delicious fresh seafood tacos, ceviche, and more in an El Sereno front yard and carport. Chito is so nice and if its your first visit he throws in a free taco dorado. He has specials on Thursdays. I had baja fish, grilled shrimp, and octopus. All delish. Good salsa too. Suggest you go give this place a try. I cant wait to go back.

Came here yesterday after going on a hike. With the weather warming up, we were in the mood for ceviche. Looked on Yelp and saw it was at a house which I found a little odd but honestly, once we tried the food we didn't care haha. The service was really great and the food was so good! Cocktel was exactly what I needed after a hike in the heat. We also got ceviche de camarón but forgot to take a picture. Being that my family is from Nayarit, I'm super picky with my mariscos but this place did not disappoint. Parking is a little slim pickings but I'm sure you'll find something and it'll require a short walk. Prices were the average seafood prices. I loved that they gave us a free shrimp taco since it was our first time and the crema in the taco 10/10. It really made the taco. They offer michelada's for those needing to cure the hangover or just satisfy a craving but also offer soda's if you're keen. Definitely want to come back & bring my parents. Keep up the great work!

Ohhh where do I begin? This place is legittttt I almost didn't even get to experience this place and am soo grateful that I did. I came here after seeing all the hype about it on Yelp and was confused driving into a residential area. I almost left, but decided to call and luckily someone picked up on the very first ring and directed us to the entrance. There is a lovely seating area available to enjoy your food outside, or you can take your tasty bites to go but I can't imagine having the ability to walk away without gulping everything down immediately.. I am at a loss for words even starting this review. My mouth is watering from the memory of what I ate I am in absolute awe of everything about them. I am humbled to have tasted their food at all. I came in with the intention of ordering aguachiles but ate much more than that and I wasn't even hungry haha! The service here is truly heartwarming. I genuinely felt as though I was part of their family. They are so humble, kind, fun, and friendly that I felt like I knew them my whole life and was being treated like their cousins. They claimed that everything on their menu was delicious and by the end of my meal, I had not collected any evidence to refute this claim. I ended up trying both red and green aguachiles and they were sooo delightfully citrusy and spicyy. Wow. That is the only word I have to describe anything here. Everything was soo good. I loved that both were topped with creamy avocado to balance out the acidity. The seafood here is marinated to absolute perfection and their zesty purple onions and fresh bite of cucumber was just a marriage of my fairy dreams. The tacos were exquisite, their homemade salsas spicy and flavorful, but the standout item was thrown in on the house. I had never had octopus before, but ohhh man it might be my favorite food? This man is a master of the grill AND flavor AND heart. The octopus was coated in such a gorgeous sauce that caramelized so well when cooked to absolute perfection. I could not eat it fast enough because it was so good even though it was scorching hot. I burnt my tongue on it while scarfing it down despite the fact that it was served at the end of my meal when I had already gorged on the rest of my meal (remember I mentioned I wasn't even hungry to begin with?). This place made me realize that my stomach is actually a bottomless pit with no end and maybe every time that I have ever been "full" the food around me just wasn't good enough. At Mariscos El Chito, there is no tapping out. I cannot wait to come back again and again to try everything else on the menu.

Everything here is sooo good. We got the mixed seafood, dorado tacos, aguachile and i still think about the aguachile and their salsa. They do birria and menudo on Sundays and I really need to venture over there and get that. Highly highly recommend, a local neighborhood spot with friendly staff..what else do you need??

How did I not review my favorite mariscos spot before?! This place has the absolute best mariscos in the city. The fish in the fish tacos and fish ceviche is always fresh and tender. The shrimp is delicious and crisp. Fried or grilled anything on the menu is always great. Their shrimp burrito can feed two people for 2 days. That's how big it is, but you'll just end up eating it in one sitting and being full for 12 hrs straight. I've had fish and shrimp ceviche, their agua chile, the fish and shrimp fried tacos, shrimp burritos...they even catered a family party last summer and everyone was super happy with the food. Everything is absolutely phenomenal. This little place should be on your list of places to try, if you have not tried it. Great friendly service. Homey ambience. This is THE local spot for the best mariscos in LA. Call ahead if you are going to arrive hungry because this isn't fast food, it's food made well and it takes a little time, otherwise get yourself a jarrito, and wait for the absolute best food in the neighborhood to be served.

Chito's is my new spot to go when I'm craving food that is authentic, fresh, delicious, and as I like to say "comida de casa". This spot is at their home and they have a beautiful set up 3 tables and lots of chairs for people to sit down and enjoy their food while enjoying the California sun and weather. As soon as we walked in we felt welcomed and they asked us if this was our first time, if it is, you'll get a delicious free taco (unheard of in LA)! They kindly take credit cards and Apple Pay, making it all that much easier to go and eat a delicious meal. The food was FANTASTIC. We ordered the ceviche, the shrimp, fish, and marlin taco, and the fish basket. Everything was soooo delicous tasty, flavorful. I'm so happy we found this gem, I will be placing my order ahead next time!

I was coming home from a trip from Cabo and didn't find good seafood there, so before making it back home I decided to stop by Mariscos El Chito. The food literally saved me!! I got the shrimp ceviche and the fish ceviche, which comes with a small bag of tostadas. So so fresh, flavorful, and refreshing! Since it was my first visit they also gave me a free shrimp taco with a hot salsa and guac. The taco was delicious, I'm definitely coming back for them! Incredible food aside, the family running this business are such kind and pleasant people to chat with. I stayed for a little while to wait for my order and tell them about my trip and exchange travel stories, and they were so lovely and inviting! Service, food, and atmosphere were all absolute winners, so I'll definitely be back!

Wow wow wow! I have been craving fish tacos and chito did not disappoint! I was recommended through a friend who raved about their fish tacos. You can get it either Baja (fried) or grilled, but while the flavors are great all together I prefer the Baja because the way that they fry. First timer so they welcome me with a free dorado taco included with my order. What a nice touch and generous offer. They have a nice set up and tables are set up if you want to eat right away. Try the pulpo. It's an octopus taco that was my favorite along with the Baja fish taco and I guarantee it will not disappoint.

Tried this hidden gem of a seafood tacos/mariscos place in El Sereno (East side of Los Angeles) for the first time on Sunday. This mom and pop place is literally a family cooking and serving food at tables and chairs on their patio/carport. And the food is delicious and inexpensive. I had a fish taco and shrimp taco (plus a free shrimp dorado on the house as a first-time customer), and they were all amazing. Took my kids with me again (yes, 4 days later - I love this place so much) for Taco Thursday. It was epic. In addition to the Taco Thursday specials -- fish taco (3 for $6), shrimp taco (2 for $6), and shrimp dorado (3 for $6) -- we also ordered their pulpo (grilled octopus) tacos (2 for $8) and oyster Rockefeller (half dozen for $18.50). OMG amazing. It was hard to pick a favorite. Chito said they also have Wednesday specials (whole tilapia, fish tacos, fish ceviche) and Sunday special (menudo, which takes over 4 hours to make). Even though all three of us left completely stuffed, we can't wait to come back and try all their other items. Oh and, they are super nice and friendly. It felt like being invited to a laid back dinner at a friend or relative's house. 10 out of 10 all around. Go check them out!!

I'll start off by saying that the food is excellent. I had the vampiro, ahogado taco, and a grilled shrimp taco. My reason for reviewing is because the service I received could have been better. I put in my order at 2:40p and received my order of 3 tacos at 3:31p. After waiting almost an hour, the staff proceeded to ask the party to my left and right how the food was and if everything was okay. They did not check in with me after receiving my food for the duration of my visit. I watched them ask the party to my right if they'd like a to-go bag and if they wanted them to bag their food up. This is right after I had to get up to grab these things myself. This was my first time as well as the party to my right's first time. I learned that upon your first visit, you get a free taco. I only learned this because I overheard them offering this to the party to my right. To be in someone's home, I didn't feel at home as I would have liked nor did I receive the same service.

This spot is a must! I came here a couple weeks ago for the first time and I've been back twice since. Tbh, I'll probably back tomorrow too! This place is that good. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful too. Your business definitely feels appreciated here. I love that everyone looks like they are working together to make sure the customers have a good experience. Back to the food, on our first visit we ordered a full spread. Shrimp tacos, fish tacos, shrimp ceviche, aguachiles, shrimp cocktail anddddd our free taco dorado for it being our first time. They know what they're doing, tried the first one now I'm hooked. It's the food you never knew you were missing until you try it. Everything is made to order, comes out fresh and also really quick. Make your way out here. You can thank me later!

This home/family is amazing! Their food is delicious and very much worth it. You can do a phone order which is awesome and convenient. They also have a deal that when it's your first time you get one dorado taco for free and that taco is literally to die for. I don't have a pic to post because I don't waste time eating my meal lol their shrimp cocktail is also amazing which is a lot for me to say because I've had plenty and not a lot of places can make it good but El Chito makes it good!

5 stars doesn't lie. My husband and I were nearby visiting my cousin and we decided to try it because, honestly it was the closest 5 star taco place. I read the reviews and I wasn't put off by the residential set up. After COVID era, it feels more normal. It's at a nice residence. It's an awesome set up really with the outdoor kitchen and seating. A nice lady took our order and gave us suggestions. We both had a dorado taco. I love a good crispy taco and after eating the one taco, I kinda wish I ordered 4 more. But after I got my shrimp ceviche tostadas, I was happy I ordered them. FRESH ceviche, excellent flavor. So much. I couldn't eat all of it. You definitely get your moneys worth. My husband got the special loaded burrito. It's the loaded fries but in a burrito. HUGE. My husband can EAT, but even he could only eat 1/2. Steady stream of regular customers. I'm happy for their success. This isn't a normal area we visit, but we'll be back!!!

My friend took me here this past Friday! She said it's a house but I didn't really this it was an actual house until I got there Nice home too! So it's basically a nice chill place & order to go or if you don't mind sitting down outside & if there's enough room grab a seat & get ready to eat some yummy food! I had the mojarra and it's was seasoned to perfect & very fresh! I'm going back I received a free taco that was banging hard shell with shrimp and special sauce it honestly taste like a masterpiece! Then we ordered octopus tacos fresh and cooked to perfection. I can't wait to eat there again this week coming up & of course I had Virgin Micheladas and that was tasty as well! While I was eating there the entire fire station crew came through to get orders on top of orders & regulars was coming to get food to go. This place was super cozy, very clean, the people were friendly & I didn't even want to leave the vibes were all good. Amazing food, Amazing people, & Amazing customer service. We even received free dessert after. Just the best experience I had at someone's home outside! If your adventurous gotta try it there if you just want good food get it to go. Either way it goes you won't be let down
