El Coraloense

Excellent food served by an excellent server. With great vibes. I ordered a mango ceviche with a side of viagra.com. A horchata de coco is the recommended drink unless you're drinking a miche.

My family has been going to El Coraloense for about 15yrs. We absolutely love their sea food dishes. Their Al pastor marlin, 3 palos, la conejita y zombie ceviche tostada. They also have the BEST ala diabla shrimp I've ever had. Their lobster fries are it's a family run restaurant and the service is always awesome they do serve Alcohol and very good micheladas this is a small business but it's a total gem I wish they would open one in Whittier CA. Omg almost forgot don't forget to try their coco-horchata

I can't rave enough about the flavor this place is packing on all menu items!! I visit this place often and it never disappoints. I tell my friends and family about this place and they agree with me. Try it once and you'll be hooked. They are a small business so sometimes the wait times seem long but worth it. I can't imagine trying to keep a good staff that will hold recipe secrets.

Best Ceviche in the SELA! I've tried all their ceviches. I recommend trying their mango ceviche (preferably shrimp), conejito (shaved carrot garnish), and you can't go wrong with their CoCo slush drink.

Thank you Carlos and staff! Everyone was friendly, attentive and when we asked what they suggested, he gave a great overview of what to expect ! The atmosphere was inviting, and nice n cool a/c ! The shrimp dishes were beyond what I expected ! Full of flavor, nice presentation and great price . We will definitely be back again. This Diamond in the rough is the spot to try out !

Staff was really friendly and the ambiance was great. My only complaint was the food. I ordered the fried fish and it was super bland. I kept adding the sauce it came with to get some flavor but it was not hitting it. I love fish especially mojara frita and everywhere else I tried it always comes out good, simple but tasty. I also didn't like that breading thing it had around it. It was hard and wasn't given anything so it didn't make sense to add it. I will say the lobster fries were really good. Loved the sauce on those.

Ordered a shrimp quesadilla and i got a plain thin crispy (not in a good way) quesadilla... the shrimp were in a separate container with the head on... when i called to complain they said when ordering a shrimp quesadilla i should specify that i want the shrimp inside... lmfao... smh... i also ordered a coconut horchata that was on their drink menu they gave me a slushy... and when i asked they said thats how we serve it... any who...

I've only had food from here as takeout and each time it's been excellent, exceptionally fresh seafood ceviches mixed with chopped everything. I like the Changoneada: shrimp ceviche with chopped mango , cucumbers and peanuts plus the mariquita signature sauce.I also like the klauser: shrimp, shredded carrots topped with more of the spicy habanero aioli and chopped mangoes plus cucumbers.They serve these with crisp tostadas but I usually have some tortilla chips from Northgate market lying around and I like eating it that way instead.Also tried the cucumber lemon drink which is refreshing!I almost never have carbonated soda unless it's ceviche or tacos, so today was my super cheat day.

Literally my favorite restaurant in all of Bell Gardens, they are only open on the weekends, but it's totally worth it as a treat. They are on the pricier side, but that never stops us because the quality is noticeable.

Food is delicious and service is great. The serving sizes are large portions. The only negative comment is the location is small not a lot of tables and parking is limited
