We ordered oysters, shrimp ceviche, and fajitas, which really hit the spot for my seafood craving. Everything tasted even better than I anticipated, and I was relieved that nothing was overly salty, which can often be a problem with seafood dishes. We decided to try a frozen margarita since it looked like every table around us had at least one. Sharing it was a smart choice for our laid-back night, though it was definitely enough to give us a nice buzz! The music was a bit loud, but it added to the festive atmosphere of the place. I can't wait to come back!

This was a wonderful dining experience. Me and my friends went here for my birthday dinner, and the whole staff came out and sang and gave me some wonderful shots to drink. One of them was a Michelada, and the other two were tequila shots. Very good food as well, I have attached my picture of the tilapia entry I had with the red tomato sauce. They were also very kind and letting us bring our own dessert in, and that was cool as well. Jennifer was a great server, and I made sure to give her some of the cake we brought too.
Placed an order for over $300 dollars for my dad's birthday. A meal for 8 people. When I arrived home the orders were so poor prepared and did not include tostadas, salsas, and other condiments that usually comes with the meals. family did not enjoyed what we order due to alot of things missing. When I called to mention it, manager did not care. Didn't even apologize and never tried to make it right. Never again will buy from here. Specially due to the poor customer service.
I appreciated the presentation and taste of the dishes, but unfortunately, I encountered a few issues. There was a hair on my food, and while the shrimp was butterfly cut, it wasn't cleaned properly. Additionally, the shrimp empanadas had an unpleasant, fishy taste that made them seem not fresh. The bathrooms had an awful odor, making it difficult to breathe while using them. Overall, I found the prices to be too high for the quality. Rating: 2/5. Book a table now
My parents used to love coming to this place years ago, we went for my mom's birthday but the experience was disapointing. Waitresses were nice and attentive but the quality of the food has gone down, piña coladas didn't have any taste to them. Rice and beans had this odd after taste. If you want seafood, you'll be more satisfied going to other locations, we wished we picked another restaurant for the occassion.
The best drinks, shellfish and salsas around. I'll be coming back. With that said the following items need to be taken OFF the menu. The shrimp with Mushroom tacos are repugnant, as well as the fish w/ flour tortillas. Great service lovely interior. Please switch to corn tortillas for the sake of food.
The service was outstanding; I never had to wait for anything. The food was enjoyable, but the micheladas were absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend giving them a try. That's likely the main reason I love stopping by when I'm in the area. Food: 4/5
Great place but service is like a fast food . No attention to details . We could probably drink more or order more food . But sound it like McDonald window “ are you ready “ do you want a drink “? And ask for 20-23-25% tipFood: 5/5 Book a table now
The service was superb and the food was absolutely tasty. I will certainly come back. The shrimp cocktail is my favorite dish here.
