Overview

Mocorito is the name of a town and municipality in Sinaloa, the Pacific coast state whose seafood cooking dominates Mexican mariscos restaurants in Southern California. OC Weekly's 2015 county taco guide recommended the restaurant's smoked marlin tacos, describing them as a style common on Mexico's northern Pacific coast, and listed the restaurant on East Katella Avenue in Orange. In 2018 ABC7 included it among Latin American restaurants worth exploring in Orange County, describing a Sinaloense menu of shrimp and fish tacos and ceviche.

Smoked marlin, or marlin ahumado, is shredded and sautéed with onion, tomato and chiles, then folded into tortillas, often with cheese, and griddled. It is one of the signature fillings of Sinaloa and Baja California Sur, where marlin is caught for sport and smoked to preserve it. Shrimp tacos, ceviches and cocteles round out a typical Sinaloan mariscos menu.
