El Pescador | Seafood And Mexican Grill
What began as a humble neighbourhood restaurant has grown into multiple family owned and operated locations. Ranging from family friendly to large bar.
El Pescador's unique history began in Mexico with the marriage of Carlos and Isidra Ortiz. The pair quickly began to grow their family, and welcomed eleven sons over the course of twenty years: Manuel, Raul, Jesus, Carlos, Abel, Gustavo, Vicente, Horacio, Victor and Alejandro. Carlos and Isidra gave their children a humble upbringing that highlighted the importance of family unity, hard work, and tenacity.
In the early 80s their eldest son, Manuel, immigrated to Los Angeles, California with little more than a dream to bring authentic Mexican food to the area.
By 1983 the Ortiz family was reunited, and together they opened the doors to a modest restaurant in Bell Gardens, California they called El Pescador. The community embraced the restaurant—and the brothers.
