Named after a fishing village in Baja California, the homemade salsas here are good enough to be sold in stores. Try the hot pineapple salsa. It hurts so good. Read more

Originally planned as a taco stand, the owners of Best Fish Taco in Ensenada (in Los Feliz) opened a sit-down restaurant, with crispy fish and shrimp tacos still at taco-stand prices. Read more

Made fresh to order. You add the salsa and crema(sour cream). There is only street parking. The potato taco is good but you come here for the fish tacos.

Always get the combo one shrimp two fish and the works. Don’t miss the radish, cabbage, hot salsa and sour cream. Say hi to Joseph the owner.
Will SchollApril 23, 2018
You should basically just get one of everything on the menu. Cover the fish and shrimp with slaw, green chili, and crema.

Dont let the cliche name fool you. Get the fish and get the white sauce. Shrimp is ehh, and the veg is ok. Parking is a challenge
Alex RobertsonJune 28, 2022
Yeah it’s like a 6.5/10. Tacos come “naked” u dress em yourself. 2.50 for fish 2.95 for shrimp

The fish and shrimp tacos are fried to order and served "naked" in corn tortillas. Now comes the fun part: doctoring them to your liking.
Kyle ChadwickAugust 21, 2016
Great fish and shrimp tacos for cheap. Also potato taco and some drinks and that's the whole menu!
Adam J. RichmanJune 30, 2010
Day party! Last Sunday of every month = 'Most Awesome Sunday'! Quality local DJs spin tunes while you eat, 2pm till dark! Bring your appetite, your dancing shoes, and of course - BYOB!

Yes the fish tacos are freakin great but seriously, chomp down on the Papataco!
Katy TafoyaApril 13, 2013
Sadly, could eat any if the fish or shrimp tacos since they're all breaded. But the potato tacos are quite yummy.

Two fish tacos and one shrimp and don't forget to try all the fresh salsas made on site.

Cheap fish tacos, the prices have been steadily going up a bit over the years
Jesse JrJuly 27, 2019
Don’t know what happened to this place but back in the day this place was a good spot with great tacos. It has gone down hill with flavor now.

Simplicity rocks... Simple 3 item menu but great food!
Carter MorrisonFebruary 24, 2010
AMAZING fish tacos at a very reasonable price. Will henceforth always be on my list of places to go when in LA. Try all the salsas, but the radish was my favorite! Read more

Ask Joe whether their horchata is "the best you've ever had" and he may give you a free sample. Incidentally, it *is* delicious!!

This place gave us an awesome birthday special! Call ahead to get it :D They are super nice here.

Amazing value and the homemade salsas are great
Terry LawyerFebruary 18, 2010

The horchata, Jamaica, and tamarindo drinks rock. And now they have potato tacos!
Michael VillarSeptember 12, 2012
They really need to take down the signs that advertise the wrong prices of their tacos. I know your going for the Mexican feel, but that's rediculous!
Angie SandersApril 10, 2013
Fish tacos were amazing! They don't serve beer, so byob.
MIMISeptember 12, 2018
Everything on the menu is under $3
Stephen LeeMay 25, 2013
Hot means super spicy. Don't put too much salsa or it'll overpower the flavor.

NicoleNovember 1, 2018

If tacos were Dr Dre albums this would be the Chronic
Megan MiddletonMarch 27, 2010
Only 3 items on the menu: Fish Taco ($1.50), Shrimp Taco ($2), and Drink ($1) ... all of which are amazingly scrumptious!
Winnie KhooJanuary 5, 2014
Always check for deals: Foursquare, Yelp, Groupon! Fave: fish taco
Jan TimmerMay 22, 2015
Crunchy prawn tacos are the best.
Jordan GonsMay 29, 2011
FYI: It's BYOB for alcohol. Prices raised to $1.75/$2.50 for fish/shrimp respectively, but it is still so worth it. Very good taste.
Jackson LanzingJanuary 16, 2010
Fantastic. Seriously the best fish taco I've ever had. Do not miss the hot guac and the mad mango salsa.
Mark DeSalvoAugust 31, 2011
The menu is small but they have some awesome salsas to change things up.

The tacos and comedy night!
Idea Monkey, Inc.July 24, 2011
According to the owners, this is not a restaurant, it’s a taco stand. And apparently it’s also not an auto repair shop. Could they change my oil while I have a taco? And no, you are not in Ensenada.
David BarberDecember 3, 2014
Potato tacos and pork Tostitos are great
Tumara GrijalvaJanuary 22, 2013
Salsas are not that good. And NO LIMES!!!! Other than that the taco itself is good.

Lives up to the best fish tacos name.
