Mariscos El Sinaloense: Mexican Cuisine in Vallejo

Aguachiles at Mariscos El Sinaloense in Vallejo.

Mariscos El Sinaloense is located off Interstate on Benicia Road, in an unincorporated zone surrounded by Vallejo. There's been several Central American restaurants in this location, and these guys are fairly new to the scene, and getting some good word of mouth.

First off: we got chips and salsa and some Agua Frescas to start off with. We both got Cantaloupe, which was perfectly ripe and delicious. No sugar added, as you'll find with some Agua Frescas. Mariscos El Sinaloense has a huge selection of fruit juices on their menu.

Since this was our first time, I ordered some tacos to get a sense of the cuisine. From left: Pastor, Asada, and Carnitas (close up of the Carnitas below). The Pastor and Asada was pretty good, but the Carnitas were spot on, great bold flavor, and no greasy taste. 

Robin got a Fish Taco and Chile Relleno Ala Carte. Both were pretty good, though a little salty due to  the mix they were using.

Here was the main event, their aguachiles. Not sure how I've not experienced this dish before. Raw shrimp cooked in lime with chipotle sauce, cucumber and red onion. Perfect salad dish on a hot day. Chipotle not overwhelming, with just enough heat to line your brow with sweat.
