About This Place

El Pescador Mexican Grill, located at 2322 S Mountain Ave in the heart of Ontario, CA, is a vibrant Mexican restaurant and bar that masterfully blends authentic Latin American flavors with a lively sports bar atmosphere. This culinary gem invites diners to indulge in a rich variety of Mexican seafood and classic dishes, each crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that sing on the palate.

From the very first bite, the menu promises a feast of bold flavors and satisfying textures. Start your experience with the irresistible Shrimp Aguachiles, where raw shrimp is elegantly marinated in a zesty green jalapeño sauce that awakens your senses with a fresh, spicy kick. The Reyna Tostada offers a delightful medley of shrimp, octopus, abalone, and crab in a house special cocktail sauce—a perfect harmony of oceanic treasures on a crisp shell. For those who crave citrusy brightness, the Ceviche Tostada features tender fish marinated in lemon juice, delivering a refreshing burst with every bite.

El Pescador’s heartier fare is just as impressive. Their signature Molcajete, a sizzling blend of grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, cheese, and cactus, arrives in a traditional lava mortar stone, sending inviting aromas skyward. Each dish is thoughtfully paired with rice, beans, and creamy guacamole, adding layers of comfort to the lively main components. The popular Mar y Tierra, featuring a juicy top sirloin with shrimp, and the Steak and Chicken combo showcase balanced, savory flavors that satisfy even the most discerning appetites.

Seafood lovers will find a haven here—whether indulging in the crispy Mojarra Frita (whole red snapper) or savoring the smoky sweetness of Camaron Costa Azul, succulent shrimp wrapped in bacon and served with potato salad and rice. The Shrimp Fajitas bring a delightful medley of sautéed shrimp, onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, served alongside traditional sides that round out the meal perfectly.

Complement your meal with handcrafted cocktails that have earned rave reviews, such as the flavor-packed Diablo Margarita and the refreshing Strawberry Margarita. Regulars praise the use of quality tequila that elevates each drink, while the beer selection—including selections like Negra Modelo—offers a smooth, authentic pairing for any dish.

The atmosphere at El Pescador Mexican Grill is welcoming and laid-back, with a warmth that invites both casual diners and sports enthusiasts to settle in. Customers consistently mention attentive service and a friendly vibe, with speedy meal delivery even on busy weekends. Whether you’re gathering to watch the big game or enjoying a relaxed evening out, the combination of great music, flavorful food, and comfortable seating creates an experience that feels both familiar and special.

El Pescador Mexican Grill stands out as a true neighborhood favorite, blending the vibrant essence of Mexican coastal cuisine with the casual camaraderie of a sports bar. It’s a place where the fiesta never truly ends—in taste, atmosphere, and spirit.

    I came to try out El Pescador restaurant in the city of Ontario. Being a first generation Mexican I can tell you that the food here is Incredibly delicious. Their margaritas are awesome very flavorful. It looks like they use good tequila. The first bad impression that I got when I got here there was nobody in the front to Greet me and sit me down I had to ask do I walk in or do I just wait here that’s the only negative part that I got from this restaurant but I can tell you that my waitress her name is Helen. She is awesome has great customer service skills Helen gave me a great idea to build my own plate at my liking. it’s not a plate on the menu but is something helen made it happen for me because I told her what I felt like eating like, I said Helen is awesome having people like her at this kind of restaurants, I can also tell that This restaurant is closely managed by the owner and his family makes it even better. It feels like they really care about their customers and the service they provide. I really recommend El Pescador Restaurant city of Ontario to everybody. Awesome food great customer service just ask for Helen!!

    As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by an older gentleman—possibly the manager or owner—who was very friendly and welcoming. We went on a Sunday, and we’ve never been to a restaurant that provides such fast service on a weekend! We were seated right away, and our drinks came out quickly. After placing our order, it only took about 10–15 minutes for our meals to arrive. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. The portions were generous, and we’ll definitely be stopping by again next time we’re in LA.

    Excellent drink menu and prices. Happy Hour: MONDAY - THURSDAY 10AM TO 7PM & FRIDAY 10AM TO 5:00PM. Comfortable seating in restaurant. The Hive has bar stools and high tables, which may be uncomfortable to some but has limited bench and table seating.

    This spot truly stands out as one of my absolute favorites. The service is attentive, the food is impressive, and the atmosphere with great music creates such an enjoyable setting. The appetizers were exceptional and full of flavor, and the main course was just as satisfying. It is also a perfect place to catch the big game and enjoy the energy. I will definitely be coming back for another five star experience.

    The food was pretty good, but it was kinda expensive for what it was. We spent at least $25/person for the less expensive orders (not including drinks) and more for the people who got molcajetes, but that was to be expected lol The place is cute and very clean but the waiters don't really check on you that much, so if u need something, you gotta go find one

    Great food. Top notch quality. Pricey, but great. Had the 4 Mares soup. Amazing. Service was genuine, friendly, and continuous. The sports bar, The Hive, has a dress code and max time occupancy
