I have always walked by this place and today I decided to sit down. When you sit they immediately bring ya tostadas with white fish ceviche and limes which was delicious. I wasn’t feeling a whole meal because the portion sizes are huge. So, I got the michelada especial that had crab legs, shrimp, cucumber, octopus, and clams on the drink. All the seafood was good and the service was amazing. The workers are nice and attentive. I will be coming back!
Ok so this is a hard one. I got the coconut seafood cocktail which was pretty good. It gave me more than expected and the flavor was not bad. Shrimps were big and octopus/ squid wasn’t too chewy. My parents got the molcajete which unfortunately disappointed them. The steak was good but it had too many beans and the size of the overall plate was underwhelming for the price point. In other words, I have had better molcajetes elsewhere for the same or lesser value. However, I have to say the overall vibe of the place was nice! Music and location makes it appealing for a nice dinner/ lunch. The drinks are good as well (had a michelada). The workers did a good job at attending us and getting anything else we wanted mid-meal. I really give this a 3.7 if I could.
The service was great. Food was excellent and not pricey for seafood at all. You have to try the prepared oysters they were a hit. Lived the stuffed pineapple, crab legs were to die for.
friendly staff and fast service. even when busy, the food came out relatively quick. the portions are large and well worth the price. the seafood was good, especially paired with the sauce. it wasn’t too salty which we’ve experienced before at other seafood spots. i highly recommend getting the garlic bread to dip in the sauce. we were pleasantly surprised by how good the bread was with the garlic flavor and crispiness of the cheese
Looks like a place many workers near by come for lunch. I went during lunch hours and people poured in. It's a decent space for groups. The young lady was very nice and was able to answer any questions. Instead of salsa and chips they serve ceviche. The ceviche just neededa bit of salt but it was good. We also ordered guacamole, but it didn't taste fresh to us. We asked for jalapeños to be added they weren't. My friend had the shrimp fajitas. She said they were good. I didn't taste them. I had the fried red snapper with spicy garlic sauce on the side. The red snapper was fresh but by itself needed seasoning with the spicy garlic sauce it was perfect. My friend went back the next day and got the red snapper.
