Mariscos El Cachanilla

Used to love the food, but everyone on here has a bitchy attitude & their restaurant is a mess which overpowers the love I had for the food… I wouldn’t go here. Hardly any parking & it’s a sketchy area.

This place has the best Mexican seafood in town. I’ve not been disappointed with anything I’ve ordered here. The downside is it’s rather small so it gets crowded at times, the menu is in Spanish only but there’s pictures for those of you that don’t know the language and they require cash only. Closed on Wednesdays.
This is an update on 02÷08÷16
They now accept credit cards

Me and my husband got so sick off the food here … Pretty sure it was food poisoning:(just beware… I won’t be going here again. Service is rude also

Worth the wait. I’ve been meaning to go to this place for about a year and finally got a chance to with my dad. We both had shrimp de ajo mojo and man, was it ever tasty. This wonderful, buttery garlic sauce invading all the other yumminess on the plate. Yeah, it takes awhile to get your order but once you have it you’re in heaven!

Really disappointed with their Agua Chili. I usually go to a different food truck in Lodi and coming to this one wasn’t the best choice. The one in Lodi is filled with shrimp, crab, octopus, and with spicy insides. The one I tried today from them was literally AGUA. very little shrimp, crab, not to mention NO OCTOPUS. Cup of Disappointment.

came here to eat with my mama and omg what a disgusting and nasty attitude the bi**h at the register has here is what i think enjoy:
cons: 1. 0 i repeat 0 costumer service skills are display at this establishment, the so called owner or as i like to called her the bi**h lol has the most nasty and disgusting attitude i have ever seen, and for all those who don’t speak spanish here’s a hint as soon as you walked away she will turn and talk shit about you with the other girls that work there.
2. the wait time is horrible
3. is cash only and if you don’t speak or read spanish you’re outta luck cuz everything is in spanish
4. the place looks like can use a deep cleaning and the waiters need some manners and a lesson in customer service, they are also not helpful at all so good luck with that.
5. the food is not that good people get over it, if i may suggest you should try the marisco truck over in mariposa rd. is way better and the employees have better attitude.
pros: the food is yummy and the portions are good but that is it, i recommend for everybody to avoid this place at all cost until the owner/​cashier gets her attitude in check blah.

Long long wait, cash only !!

I visited this restaurant many times but stopped going because the owners are super rude and the waiting is ridiculous.

First time, last time. Horrible. Overpriced for the quality. In other words, don’t bother. At all. I trekked out from the Bay to see family. We went here because it serves seafood.
Wrong.
Their menu only shows you what it’s supposed to look like. Apparently, sanitation standards do not apply here. I ordered a coco Hawaii, which is basically a campechana in a coconut. I’m trying to eat since the other parties received their meals before me and are almost done. My shrimp are dirty. Disgusting. I send my order back and I get this:
«Well we put two types of shrimp.»
Yo, WTF. Seriously. Do you even know what I asked?
I’ve waited 10 minutes; 30 total if you count the first 20 for the first crappy coco. The «chef» disgruntled and gives me attitude because I called him out. I told him the coconut was fine, I just had dirty shrimp with full poopshoots. It’s filled to the brim and there’s no way to eat it. Food is now going everywhere and IDGAF. I’m eating and inspecting my food, when my husband turns to me and says, «Look, it’s still dirty.» I was done and we left most of our food on the table.
My siblings ordered camarones a la diabla that were merely shrimp swimming in ketchup. The side dishes given were about the size of an ice cream scoop. The horchata was the best part of the meal and even that was questionable.
This place is already in the boonies and then they want serve crappy food?
Pick a struggle!
Oh and leave the mariscos to the Sinaloenses.

The food is very good that’s the only good thing about the place the service is horrible we waited almost a hour for our food the lady at the register the owner of the place needs to take a class on customer service she has none! very rude lady there were a lot of people that came after us and got there orders before us and they ordered the same thing we did…

Delicious! They don’t cheat you on the amount of food/​shrimp you get. Definitely a must try if you’re in or visiting Stockton.

Really really bad service
we paid like a fine restaurant but the service is like taqueria
the prices are very expensives
they take forever for a very simple order
no server, foam plates, dirty and old tables
loud music like cantina
Sorry guys
first & last time

A little hole in the wall restaurant.
Came in at 4pm ordered and waited for my food
Nearly no line and it’s almost been an hour to finally receive all the items I ordered.
I also received the wrong item. Instead of a shrimp taco I got fish which isn’t too big of a deal since the prices aren’t different.
My biggest problem with it was that the time I waited for the wrong item isn’t worth sending it back to get the correct taco.
I also received my items one by one instead of all together. Which makes no sense to me with big time gaps in between each item.
Place is mediocre. I Gave 1 star alone for the pricing and another just for having a wide variety of sea food dishes.

First time visit. Here’s my short review:
Coco Hawaii ($ 17) — excellent!
Prepared Oysters — good!
Cheese Quesadilla — not sure! My son brought it home and it’s still on the counter.
Fish taco — good!
Bathrooms — clean!
Restaurant — clean!
Cashier — friendly and helpful!
Would we go back? Absolutely!
More detailed review:
A friend posted a photo of her Coco Hawaii so we decided to drive to Stockton to try it out. It looked yummy! We walked in and asked for a menu. The cashier (young girl) was friendly and helpful. We placed our order and sat down. Since we didn’t know what to expect, we just ordered the Coco Hawaii, cheese quesadilla, and a fish taco. We sat down, looked a the menu again and decided to order a ½ dozen of prepared oysters.
The Coco Hawaii came out first. It was delicious! Then the oysters came out. I personally didn’t care for the seasoning they used. Some sort of mesquite flavor perhaps? Anyhow I like how they were prepared I just could do without the spice/​sauce. After waiting quite some time, the kids got their food. Seemed odd that a cheese quesadilla would take so long. Sure wish that had come out sooner as we were done with everything by the time that came out.

To sum up everyone else’s reviews, I agree– great food, HORRIBLE customer service. The lady at the counter THREW my friends plate on to the counter and then realized how bad it looked, when all the shrimp fell off.
We also had the experience of PINE-​SOL smell being too strong.
So… great food but only if you are willing to put up with ass*****.

Ordered a dozen oysters. Had them fully prepared. Came out to 18 bucks and some change. The food was delicious and I’d come back again.
Here’s why I had to lose two stars:
1. They don’t accept credit card. I guess it’s fair since the prices are reasonable. Maybe 3.5 should be real rating.
2. It took 30 minutes to get my order. Food was still good though. It would be reasonable if three orders didn’t get theirs before me.

There is nothing in the menu that i don’t like everything is so so so good :) .but there costumer service is really bad at times…

Great food and a must stop when your in Stockton. The coco Hawaii, fish&shrimp tacos and empanadas are a favorite but your safe ordering anything off the menu. Definitely a favorite!

Ok, first thing is first, let me remind you to bring cash they do not take cards. order their fish tacos cause they are really good– well packed, nice batter on the fish with a fresh crisp lettuce, cucumbers and zesty dressing and also-​the side salsa they give on the plate was good. $ 2.50 BUT! Do not get the Camarones ala Diabla plate, the sauce tasted like nothing more than heated up bottled hot sauce and that’s all I could taste, no hints of Chipotle and no real base? Why? Plus, their rice they tried to get fancy with-​looks and taste similar to Chinese Shrimp Fried Rice? Uh No! Why isn’t this more of a seafood mexican white rice and why is it brown? No no no no no! Kind of breaks tradition of mexican seafood rice!

La comida esta buena, les recomiendo las empanadas están deliciosas.

La comida esta buena, pero el servicio es de lo Peor la persona que toma la orden es grosera y poco amable. cuando esta a lista para ordenar lo primero que pregunta
Es esta segura que quiere ordenar por lo menos 45 min. De espera. Maaaaal servicio!!!

An explosion of flavors in your mouth!
A hidden gem… just south of the post office on West Lane.
The front of the restaurant faces the post office.
I didn’t know it was there until I saw the photos that Me M posted.
Some complain about having to wait 20+ minutes for the food. I would much rather wait and have my food cooked fresh that have something that was precooked. I go to a restaurant to relax… I plan my evening accordingly. Two choices if you are short on time. Call ahead or get fast food.
Here is the menu in English:
I can’t wait to go back.
Mexican seafood. I have not had much exposure to it. I have had a fish
taco or two before. but not like this.
Two bucks each and they are yummy! Quite filling. Comes with a hefty slice of lime, a jalapeño and a side of a Mexican type thousand island dressing made with sour cream? Everything seemed to be chopped and assembled fresh. The fish were deep-​fried with a light batter… still warm in the taco. You can choose corn or flour tortillas. I had flour. These are not the small street taco-​types that you get from a truck, these are very large tortillas. They have assorted hot sauces if you want to burn your taste buds:
The tostada was very good. Quite large with plenty of shrimp for $ 3.50. An awesome marriage of flavors on a tasty toasty tostada (say that fast 10 times).
Again, everything was chopped or cooked fresh and the tostada
was crispy!
Only one negative to my experience… they started cleaning (sweeping and mopping) while I was still eating… and the mop water had a VERY strong smell of pine-​sol. Thank god i was only a couple of bites away from finishing my meal. But to be fair, they didn’t start cleaning till about 6:30(closing time) and I was still eating. Next time I will arrive earlier.
According to the sign on the door, they open seven days a week at 10:30 a.m. but there is no closing time listed. When I was there on a Monday evening they closed at 6:30 p.m. Suggest calling if you are planning on going in the evening.
Very reasonable prices. Try them… I don’t think you will regret it…

La comida sabe muy bien aquí, pero por qué diablos lo es todo en español? No puedo leer la mierda. Todo es bueno … el personal amable me ayudó con mis decisiones. Gracias!
Haha… I totally murdered the Spanish language.
