Ocean’s 28

It’s not seafood anymore its grilled chicken and its awesome. The name isn’t clear seeing how they haven’t bothered to remove the signs from previous businesses, kinda cool right. Think el pollo loco but authentic. I’ll be back for sure.

I, like others, was searching for Mariscos German and instead found this place. However, I have to say I was pretty impressed! I went safe and just got a few fish tacos but in the meantime the owner came and talked with me (I was the only one there at that hour) and we had a nice chat about food and fish. Anyway, the food itself came out great and I would go back for some of that guacamole-​salsa concoction and to try the gobernador or the marlin. Location is a little tricky to get into, but I actually like the ambience and the simplicity. The owner is a really nice guy and I think he cares about food and wants to put out a good product.
Definitely worth checking out!

Amazing!
One of the best kept secrets in the area. I wasn’t expecting much when I walked in and saw the restaurant was half empty but I was surprised by the great food, service and prices. The fish tacos here are pretty unique and tasty. I haven’t been to mariscos german, but I was impressed.
I’m a fan of spicy food and I knew it was going to go well when they brought out a spicy soup starter for free. I tried the machachas de marlin, which is basically a grilled soft taco stuffed with marlin and cheese. Different than other fish tacos I’ve had, but great. The tacos are all just $ 2.50-$ 3.00. The fish ceviche was also impressive and just as cheap. It’s served on a tostada with avacado and plenty of lime.
The owner of the restaurant also has an oyser farm in mexico and brings them in fresh to the restaurant. He brought us oysters to try for free! Not the best I’ve had, but not too bad.
Definitely going to return here sometime soon.

Mariscos German is gone!?!
Fear not. Like a phoenix from its ashes, another Mexican seafood place has sprung up in its place. The silly name, a nod to the Danny Ocean movies, is a reference to the closest streetcorner (28^th and Ocean View Blvd) as well as (I assume) its menu offerings. If nothing else, «Ocean’s 28» is easy to remember.
My first impression of eating here is positive enough. The food is a bit cheaper than Mariscos German and pretty good, with generous servings. My ceviche was tasty, heavy on the lime and pepper. The gobernador taco wasn’t bursting with shrimp, instead a spiced array of other seafood and a bit heavy on the chile. (I’m no authority — is that common?) Service was good and informal. The one advantage they have over Mariscos German is that they offer a wider variety of non-​seafood dishes.
Gone is the big boat-​shaped exterior, but the building is otherwise the same. (In other words, this is the sort of building that you’re supposed to flee from if the ground starts to shake.)
So I’m not convinced it’s not a step down from Mariscos German, but it’s certainly better than nothing.
