    First time visit based on recommendation from my sister! Absolutely delicious and worth it! Chips and salsa were fresh and excellent. Fish and shrimp taco’s were large and full of flavor as well as the black beans. Will certainly go again soon ! 👍

    Pescado Burracho is one of our favorite weekly restaurants. There is no better taco nearby.

    Such a disappointing experience. We came for dinner and got seated. Our server didn’t greet us for around 7-10 min. I asked someone if they could locate our server. She showed up and took our drink order and said she’d bring chips and salsa. She brought our drinks and took or ordered but brought no chips. Asked and said oh yes. Still no chips. At this point another couple was seated next to us. Server finally brought chips. Around 10 min later, the couple next to us got their meals. But not us. Finally after inquiring how long before ours the server said I’ll check. About 10 min later dinner showed up. My son ordered birria tacos which are $10 EACH! Crazy! They were not crisp like they should be and came with a very small amount of consommé. I ordered enchiladas with verde sauce. They showed up soaking in a pasty cream sauce. I asked and the manager said that’s our verde sauce. I said it’s white! She laughed and said I know. So I cut one open and she said oh no! The cheese is t even melted. Nope it was cold and still shredded. So bad! So she offered to have new ones made but my son was almost done so I said no thanks. My 17 yr old son ate two of the three tacos and said he wished he didn’t order them. The service was just not good at all and neither was the food.? Chips and guacamole were really good but all in all just a bad experience. Atmosphere is really weird too. Not a Mexican vibe at all. More a bland beach bar look with boring brown tables and strange music. Like rap and rock. Won’t be bad. Saw another review on Yelp from last night as well with the same experience. Too bad.

    What a disaster. $50 for lunch that was practically inedible and took 2 HOURS. Not very busy. took 20 minutes just to get menus. There appeared to be 1 server 1 greeter 1 bartender And no wanted to help anyone out. Every time we ask for help nothing happened. We got the bartender for our server (probably one reason it took so long). THE FOOD: 4 of us and no one’s meal was very good. I had some pozole that was good. Green Chili was heavy on lime and just not good. Enchiladas were weird tasting. Friend had PB BUrrito and couldn’t eat it. Octopus taco was just o k. No one ever came by to check. Needed more salsa and water. Chili was supposed to have tortillas. Took another 15 minutes to get those. TIME FOR CHECK: Of course had to chase someone down. Had ask for 2 separate checks. Of course they were on 1. Had to chase down server again. THERES MORE BUT I DONT WANT TO BORE YOU.

    Pescado is one of our regular go to spots. We had Olivia and manager Ebony support our table. They both recognized us and we enjoyed talking with them. We appreciate the food, drinks and service here.

    This used to be our go to Restuarant. The servers are nice people and that I would say is about it. The food is a mediocre quality, the menu has become very limited and the prices have gone up considerably. What used to be well run and managed by the owner is no longer. Very sad.

    This was our first time at the restaurant. Service was amazing - from the moment we walked in to the time we left. Our waitress checked on us regularly, which was refreshing. The owner of the restaurant stopped by to ask how our meal was going - she was so warm and pleasant. The food was good and you get a lot for the price. Same with the cocktails. I will definitely make this a regular place!

    Out experiences at Pescado Borracho are always great. Food is amazing, service was good. Last night the red salsa was especially good and smoky.
