El Jarocho Seafood

My friend and his family were in town and they wanted fish tacos and this is the best place i know for it. I like how they fry their tripas too. Ambiance is typical family owned, hole in the wall vibe. Staff was friendly, price was reasonable, and servings were generous.

Heads up: no pickled carrots/peppers/onion :(

Definitely coming back and highly recommend.

Best shrimp cocktail in town!!
Service was good! Came in close to closing time and they served us perfectly

Ok so the food was excellent tasting. I got Shrimp Tacos, 1 a la Parrilla and 1 breaded. The parrilla came with veggies on a corn tortilla(2) and unfortunately dissolved with the juices so I ate it more like a taco salad, the bread one came on a large flour tortilla and with some lettuce and avocado definitely looked less appealing than the parrilla one, could use some chipotle sauce to help out the flavor. My biggest negative was the time, it took them 40 minutes to give me my food and I ordered at 1:20 got food at 2:02. Lucky I had an hour lunch that day but I could have been told ahead of placing my order incase I was in a hurry and had a 30 minute lunch. Will be back at different time to see if service is faster.

A great place to go eat seafood or Mexican food in general. Their cockteles de camarón are very good and have a lot of shrimp they don't skimp out on the seafood at all. I also like to eat their pollo empanizado. They are quick to bring your order out and the service is overall great. Only giving 4 stars because the location is very small and I wish they had more seating.

I ordered a seafood cocktail and was shocked at a 23 dollar price. All the reviews that I saw were good so I just went for it. There was plenty of seafood in the cocktail but it was very sweet and had a strange flavor to it. I added tons of the habanero salads they had available and it helped a bit but it was no where near worth the price. I wanted to live this place but the prices are high and the food well atleast the cocktail was substandard. Them place is kinda dingy, and didn't look appealing.

Here on a trip from Seattle to visit family we wanted some good Mexican food, and we got it here! The coctel grande was incredible and absolutely full of delicious chunks of tender seafood, great value. The service was super nice and welcoming. It was a wonderful day to sit outside at the nice shaded tables. I would love to come here again!

If you are craving a shrimp cocktail this is the place to come. The restaurant is very small so it does have limited seating. I recently ordered a shrimp cocktail but with no pulp. I placed a pick up order and they are always quick with to go orders. The employees are always friendly too. I would love to try more items on their menu but you can never go wrong with a shrimp cocktail.

Carne asada burrito and shrimp cocktail.
Reasonably priced, considering the hike in most things nowadays.

Burrito came on a hot plate. Taste was good, but had some grizzle. The plating was boring. It was just a burrito on a white plate.

Shrimp cocktail (large size) was good but a bit too sweet. It had a lot of shrimp which was good.

Service:
No server. Order at the counter, and a person will bring food to your table.

Overall, no regret in trying out a new place but not a place I would return to eagerly.

Tasty food. Nice presentation. Friendly vibe. Reasonable pricing.
What's not to like about El Jarocho?
Thanks!

Best Pastor tacos in Ventura!!! No doubt about it.
The service is great also.
