We went here for dinner. This was both a good and bad experience . Had good reviews and pictures of food looked good. The shrimp was good, fries were ok. The stuffed crab had no crab nothing but bread stuffing. A bit overpriced for what I was served. They ran out of ceviche and crackers I didn t like that they were sweeping while guests were dining. The lady was nice and attentive ; even though she was there by herself beside the cook of course . I d probably visit again just won t order stuffed crabs .

Walking distance to nearby hotels. We might have missed the busy part of the day, because we had our pick of tables. The plates were served quickly with a friendly smile, and tasted great. My seafood cocktail was very fresh and cold. Parking: Parking could be tight when they are busy - but also be aware the dumpster is also out there.

I didnt see any disinfecting or sanitizing in the dining areas, food was not good as they used to be... Will come back hoping these things changed because I like the place and their food. **Update: after my first review thinking that they might be better we went today. So... They took away the tortilla chips and salsa they used to serve before getting the order, we asked the waitress and she said they are not serving them anymore for free, now you have to order them and pay extra. Then my husband ordered a sopa de mariscos and it was mostly water a really small portion of mariscos were there! Then my limonada was very ugly I dont know if they used old lemons or if they have it for too long. Not fresh at all. However, the waitress was very nice and didnt get her name.. conclusion: not going there ever again and its sad because it was one of our favorite places.

What an absolute dumpster fire. No tarter sauce, no guacamole, no water? No mames. Invited a family member out for lunch and really regret it as soon as I ordered an appetizer. Do yourself a favor and try a different fish place. Food

I had to wait to check into my Airbnb so decided to check out this place and it was perfect! Very clean, great service and music. I ordered the small ceviche which was delicious. I also got the shrimp with spinach and cream sauce. Rich and filling. The salsa is one of the best I ve tasted. Will definitely back. Great little local place. Everything was reasonably priced for such great quality.

Great service here! Get the small lemonade, and you get a free refill. Chicken empalizada and fish nuggets are awesome. Fish nuggets are just a cut up fried fish filet btw. If youve tried one location, youve tried them all. Always good service too. definitely coming back. Had no idea its right around the corner from us.

Food is good and the ceviche is a must try. Service is always a bad experience, they can work on that, place looks clean, a little outdated, but its okay. I would not recommend eating there, maybe for take out orders is more convenient. Parking: Small parking lot. Wheelchair accessibility: I think theres wheelchair spot, I dont remember if theres a sign next to the main entrance, the paint to that spot is not clear.

Ok Here you go Food is alright got the marisco seafood soup its good Also ate a Ceviche tostada which was delicious The service was great. The only bad thing and i dont like to put on reports is that this place has got a Cockroach problem as soon as we sat down my wife pointed out a pretty big roach on the wall by the table so we decided to sit up front even though at this point i wanted to leave but we came to review the food. The waitress was aware of the roach and gave us a table away from it. We personally will not be going back but this issue has to be addressed .

Never had a shrimp cocktail as fantastic as this one. There must have been 30 shrimp in the grande size, for only $11.50! Also got the equally-great ceviche (also $11.50 for grande) and fish tacos ($10 for 4). They close at 7, the place isnt pretty, and service is brusk, but the food is absolutely excellent in both quality and value.

very bad service, they brought us the food and without tortillas, we waited for a long time and we had to talk to the waitress because she didnt even come back to see what we needed, the drinks werent even refilled, my husband ordered breaded steak, it looked like frozen steak from Walmart, it was my first time but. I didnt want to go back. I dont recommend this place. There were 4 waitresses and they were all stressed as if there were too many people.

Very good service, except for the rotten broth that they served me that day and the last day we went, and I am not a person who likes to complain but that day I did tell the cashier that the broth had a bad smell and an ugly taste, I left it I didnt eat it. The anger it gave me was that the cashier still asked the waitress if I had eaten the broth. Dont make it sound like I was doing it so as not to pay. What anger, because she still charged me. I never went back. I wont even go back, but how conscientious the chef is that even knowing that seafood already smells bad, especially seafood, which is something very delicate and so in order not to lose, they risk people getting sick and can even be dangerous.
