10 reviews for Pescado Mojado
One of my FAVORITE places for ceviche in LA... I would eat here at least once a week if I could.
Who knew that a place where you walk up to the counter to order could have such good, fresh seafood, ceviche, quesidillas, and soup?
I love this place. The ser vers are helpful and gracious hosts, the food is delicious, and it's so reasonably priced. I wish their hours were extended. I have often gone to Rodeo or the taco truck down the street as a poor second place substitute because Pescado is closed. I recommend the chick or steak combo as well. It's tender, juicy and flavorful.
Another bonus... No on ever pressures you to leave too soon. I have had quite a few one-on-one meals here that have covered subjects of love, sex, romance, finance, work, and have often hoped the staff either can't hear or understand me. Oops! Sorry guys.
They also cater and will deliver to your office. This is great for worktime conferences, and it's a big hit with the co-workers.
if you have lived or hung around Echo park for a while you have to know this place!
Food is good but I do not go there anymore!
It's ridicoulous how they have doubles there prices but yet shortened there portions.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE YOUR PRICES. DO NOT BE GREEDY. GIVE YOUR CUSTOMER SOMETHING IN RETURN. ( I.E. include a drink perhaps)?
Pescado Mojado is to most Echo park curians a simple taco/burrito joint. However rule of thumb suggests that if the name of the restaurant translates to "wet fish", one would order something with fish in it.
The fish & shrimp soups are amazing in any manifestation. Fish plates are probably the most bang for the buck here. All dishes are served with prepped fresh vegetables, rice, and beans. The skewered fish plate is amazing. Perfectly dyed yellow rice, well cooked pinto beans, and buckets of fresh salsa & pico are on hand to smooth out any inconsistencies in the meal.
The wait is never long for the food. The kitchen is exposed here through windows. Interesting to watch the ninja-like line cooks making chips and slicing avocado.
Even with drinks, dinner for two here is under $20. Tip your pseudo waitress. Don't ever enter the bathroom.
I've heard some of the other locations don't match the standards of this particular P.M.
Street parking
Cheap eats
I was driving home tonight when my roommate laughed and pointed at Pescado Mojado saying it looked like a terrible place to eat. Until then I had forgotten that I went to Pescado on Max M.'s review before I moved to Echo Park because I wanted some good Mexican while at a concert at the Echo Plex. I didn't finish my fish taco, I spit it out.
At the time I wasn't aware that it was in fact Gollum that started the Pescado Mojado chain to serve the rotten fish-eating Hobbit minority in Los Angeles. You think I'm joking, but all of its waxy-skinned workers and patrons scamper about on their clammy hands. Their three wiry hairs flying about as their heads bobble on emaciated shoulders threaten falling into and poisoning your food. Their lives are extended far beyond their natural limits by the effects not of possessing the One Ring, but of eating rotten fish.
Maybe Max "Beef" M. grew up in Alabama or South Carolina and isn't sure what good Mexican food tastes like. Or maybe it's that Max likes to eat fish scales. I don't know.
For us non-cave-dwellers, there's El Compadre just a few blocks east on Sunset which is leagues beyond, fathoms above the swill dished up here.
Haven't eaten much on the menu but what I have had is pretty rockin. Namely the shrimp tacos. $2.49 for a super duper stuffed shrimp taco with peppers. There are alot of shrimp in these tacos! And they are aren't the wimpy ass baby shrimps.
I also tried the shrimp/avocado ceviche for something like $3.99! This was also really good.
I don't love their chips and salsa.
This place looks like a fast food joint complete with bright primary colors...but the food they offer is a cut above and it's an affordable seafood joint! It's great and you should try it.
I want to try the whole fried tilapia plate! But every time I think of it I am too strongly drawn to those damn shrimp tacos!!!
Quite possibly the worst ceviche ever. Pescado Enojado.
Fish tacos were so-so. I expect more from Mexi-seafood spots.
I do dig the cartoon fish mascot. Hi, I'm ten.
I am really amazed that people either love or hate this place. I absolutely love it. I think the food is good, fresh, healthy and delicious. One thing I have to say is that there's a tendency to overcook the fish and shrimp so I tell them when I order I want it medium and they always comply. This is a place where avocado is automatically in your side salad without having to ask for it. The soups are deliciously hot, spicy, flavourful and tasty. The fish brochetes are very good also, in fact they are my favorite. I think people need to try it for themselves and if you are a rice lover, you will not be dissapointed. No Uncle Ben's rice here.
Don't let he McDonald's looks deceive you. Though all Pescado Mojado restaurants look like crappy fluorescent it fast food joints, this is actually some of the best Mexican seafood in town. Tacos, burritos, and your normal selection of dishes are made with incredibly fresh fish and crustaceans. (Though, if you're into eating the cockroaches of the sea, that's your thing. I'd hesitate to call any bottom feeder "fresh".) I don't normally enjoy fish as a staple part of my diet, but I sincerely dig the fish tacos here.
yup, cheap and fast. the fish burrito is good. comes with chips, salsa, and a little salad. the people working there are really friendly and don't mind that i don't speak spanish.
I love their food! It's cheap and fast.
