El Pescador 322 South Peck Road, Santa Paula, CA 93060

"Great atmosphere...reminds me of a seafood restaurant in Ensenada Mexico. Food was good. Service was great. Price wasn't too bad, considering it was mostly seafood on the menu. I'll definitely be back."

"Ok so we’ve been coming here to eat good seafood for years and lately it’s been dirty and it stinks inside and also there were about 6 dead flies in the window where we sat No exaggeration either. So the quality of this place had considerably gone down. Not sure if it’s the lack of manager on sight or that the owner jus doesn’t really care. Ok. We won’t be coming back EVER….. thanks but no thanks !!!!! One star only cuz you’re an opened business that’s it!!!!"

"I normally only leave reviews for outstanding or terrible experiences. We tried El Pescador, Santa Paula based on 4.1 rating and phots of food. Figuring it’s pretty much a guarantee to score decent beans, rice & chips if nothing else. The restaurant specializes in Mexican seafood but, as stated, experience says it’s hard to miss on the Mexican food staples (beans, rice, chips). The server was very helpful and patient. Chips were average and salsa decent. Food came out surprisingly fast. I had a shredded beef enchilada with nearly no beef inside. Asked for a little meat to add to my enchilada. The server brought a whole new enchilada, which I appreciated. Red sauce tasted exactly like it was poured straight out of a can. My shredded beef taco had more cheese and vegetables than meat. Probably my least favorite taco ever eaten. Beans were average. Rice was dry and had peas mixed in. Guacamole tasted store bought/manufactured. My friend had the Chile verde plate. She had the same opinion of all her food as I did mine, in addition to the fact that the pork was dry/overcooked."

"This place is absolutely horrible. We ordered a "molcajete" and a "mar y tierra" plate. To start, the molcajete barely had any salsa in it. The meat was old and hard to bite. The tortillas were cold and it seems they were heated up in the microwave. Nothing had flavor to it. The rice seemed like it was days old and just reheated. The shrimp were dry and hard. A few pieces of tomato tasted rotten. Everything was tasteless and totally not worth the price. For those two items, the bill came out to $55! Save your money and go elsewhere, this place is a joke. I asked to speak to a manager and surprisingly was told that they do not have a manager or supervisor. The only person in charge is the owner and he was not there. Needless to say, we will never come back to this place."

"This was my second time here and both times the service was amazing! The staff is honestly very sweet and always checks up on you. The food has also been consistently good and there's always something new to try. I can say that my family and myself plan to continue coming to this restaurant."
