I've been planning on going back to this place for a while and getting some good pictures. The decor inside makes me think that the Brady Bunch turned Mexican, dropped some hallucinogens, and were let loose with paint brushes. The walls are painted bright citrusy yellow, green, and orange. One wall has a big ocean scene with a big mermaid dead center. Unfortunately they don't have the psychedelic table cloths they used to have. Hopefully they will bring them back sometime.
Out of all the places I've been to so far this is the one place that was most thrown off by a gringo coming in. Not that they weren't welcoming; they just never seem to expect that someone like me would patronize their establishment. This was my second visit where a waitress did not know English, but I have found that even partially remembered high school Spanish can get you by pretty good in situations like these.
Overall Ostioneria: Playas de Sinaloa earns a four Speedy Gonzales rating:

How was the food? Good salsa and chips?
You know, it's funny, because every time I have been to this place I always presumed that there would be something very good about the food or something undesirable about it but it has always been very "just right." The chips are not too greasy and not too dry. The salsa is not too bland and not too spicy. The same could be said of all their entrees. I did like it one time when a bowl of limes was brought out with the chips and salsa.
BTW, love the painting of the mermaid who looks like she's carrying the neon beer signs on her back!
This is long but I have to let people know
=)
I have been to many Mexican seafood restaurants. This place has the bigest selection of food but without a dout its the best tasting food in California . Every time I have been there someone speaks English though at lunch time and theres always other white people and asian people that are there most every time my co-workers and I go there.

Shrimp coctail
I find hot sause that they give u for the chips the best one for food.They also give u this other darker one that I dont really like so stick with the orange looking one.
my wife just tryed this plate last week that has fishes from all the 7 oceans of the world im not positive but I think its called Plato Siete Mares" or something like that translates to Plate of seven sea's .
Everything is neat and clean this is why I also like this place .this is actually the only place I recommend from OC.
I was actally trying to set up another metting there and I ran to this site. They have a large plate that feeds 6 to 8 people that cost around $90 dollars that has all these different types of seafood meats , its called "Parillada" if I remember correctly but thats only if u like every type of food that they put there. I accidently ordered that and it was only 4 of us and we didnt finish it but it was very good.
I am kinda picky when it comes to food so I cant give u advice on everything they have like Shrimp cooked in butter with garlic that smells so good but I hate garlic so just thinking about it makes me sic.
A+
