El Coraloense
El Coraloense is a Mexican seafood restaurant on Florence Avenue in Bell Gardens, California, run by owners from Sinaloa and Nayarit and known for ceviches, lobster nachos and the taco a la diabla.
Overview
El Coraloense is located at 6600 Florence Avenue in Bell Gardens, in Los Angeles County's southeast cities. Time Out Los Angeles reported in 2016 that its two owners come from Nayarit and Sinaloa, and that their coastal backgrounds shape the menu. L.A. TACO, covering the shop for its 2018 Rogue 99 list, described it as a ceviche spot that blends the seafood traditions of both states.
Menu
Time Out highlighted the taco a la diabla, battered shrimp with cheese, a creamy sauce and fresh slaw, and the taco revolcado, a fish taco seasoned like al pastor. L.A. TACO recommended a sampler of three mini ceviche tostadas, ceviches made with mayonnaise, nuts or fruit, shrimp with walnut and peanut sauce, smoked marlin, mango-chamoy shrimp, lobster nachos and the cocoloco, a coconut filled with seafood. The owners' names and the founding date are not given in the sources.
