We should have read the reviews which would have helped us avoid the bad experience! Our waitress looked like she didn't like... her job. On top of that, when you walk in it smells like sewage mixed with some type of a cleaning chemical. It was our firsttime here and right away she wanted to take our order; we asked for a few minutes to review the menu. Well she never came backso we had to wave her down. The food was good but it will never be good enough to make up for the bad service. The waitress tookour order, we got our food, and she never came back! As business owners and managers, we must learn to identify these issues andcorrect them right away. Read more

Caldo de Marisco was the best! Fried shrimp, amazing! Shrimp cocktail, good. Ceviche tostada tasty but soggy and fell apart.... Service and prices very good! Read more

Looks can be deceiving. The photos from the menu and the website will tell you a story of up ended/medium-high scale dining.... Well this restaurant is not about it. HOWEVER? they do serve very tasteful and fresh dishes. I had the house fish filet withshrimp, white rice and steamed veggies which is supposed to be a house special and I actually loved it. They receive you with anawesome consome (which is heaven for the crowds carrying a hangover) and they will privide a quick service while focusing onyour attention and needs. Was looking for a good restaurant to eat first time in town. This a great one. Read more

To start off with.... the sweet tea taste like dirty dish water ???? the service was trash, not once did she come and offer... refills ???? we left with a nasty taste in our mouth. I will never return to this disgusting place ???? this restaurant deserveszero stars, but was forced to add at least one to post my opinion. Read more

Nice place. Started with some tostadas and a variety of hot sauces. The house made spicy green tomatillo sauce was good. We... ordered the lunch special (medium shrimp soup, 2 fish chicharones (large fried fish nuggets), white rice and small side salad)and a fried shrimp and fish combo (3 fish chicharones, 4 fried shrimp, fries and a small side salad). Both plates were $6.99each. A great deal! The soup broth was tasty and it had about 6 medium shrimp in it. The fish and shrimp tasted good and fresh.The fish tasted great all by itself. The small side salads were crispy and fresh. They provided salad dressing and their ownversion of a tarter suace. The suace was good but I prefer it with a bit more pickle and onion. The service was ok. It couldhave been better. Read more
