Business Summary what's this?
For two star Mexican, try Senor Fish in South Pasadena. Know before you go: this place features outdoor dining. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a family atmosphere. This restaurant is very affordable.
4.0 of 5 stars.
Since moving to Pasadena less than a week ago, my husband and I have been here twice. We're fans.LOVE the scallop burrito and the fish tacos. Fried fish and fresh veggies at the same time. Yum.
