Our Story

Born in the Desert,
Built on the Coast

Mariscos El Berrinche started with a simple conviction: the Inland Empire deserved seafood that actually tasted like the ocean — not the frozen, fluorescent kind you find in strip-mall cafés.

We source our catch daily from West Coast suppliers and prepare everything in-house. Our ceviches are cured to order. Our salsas are made from scratch. Our cocktails are built to complement, not compete with, the food.

Located right off Palm Drive in Desert Hot Springs, we've become the spot where locals bring out-of-town guests, where families celebrate, and where a Tuesday night dinner feels like a Friday.
