The is definitely the best seafood restaurant around. The food is always prepared with such care, that when your plate arrives its a masterpiece. Please tell Maite and cooks and the young men that are awesome And yes would definitely recommend. Been customer over 10+ years. Keep doing what you all do! Thank you Vegetarian options: If you want delicious veggies added to your meal, guess what it can be done! Delicious Dietary restrictions: They will cook it your way! All you have to do is ask! Parking: Plenty of spacious parking located right in front of the building Kid-friendliness: Kids are definitely welcomed as well and accommodated. Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility and plenty of room in the restaurant as well.

Walked in for lunch and grabbed a menu. Two ladies were working - One walked right by me didn t say anything like ( Welcome or I will be with you in a moment ) stood there for about 8 minutes until I finally walked out. This was an unpleasant experience.

The restaurant is small but the food is great. The fish chicharrónes are lightly breaded and they taste even better with their super spicy sauce. On cold days I like to get their seafood soup that comes with delicious white steamed rice (yes, their rice flavourful). The other items on the menu are also well done; you cannot go wrong when selecting anything from the menu. Service and price are good as well. I havent had a bad experience.

Ordered online at 3:30pm for pick up at 5:30pm, we arrived on time and was informed that our order had been sitting under a warmer for half an hour because they started my order early in case of a rush! Excuse me? So needless to say, my order was very soggy (seafood botana & a regular botana) my family and I were very disappointed. Restaurant was empty when we arrived.

Excellent service! I usually get the fish and shrimp combo, but today, I tried Rollo de Mariscos. It was AMAZING!!! Fish Filet stuffed with shrimp and cheese and then fried and served on some sauce.

Super disgusted. When we got there, the afternoon waitress explained to us that due to Covid-19 they couldn t give menus per county orders, and we could look online at the menu on our phone. Understandable, but I also know that she should be wearing a face mask. We knew what we wanted so no big deal. We were served out plates with errors. Mind you, only us and one other couple were there. She then proceeded to cough and sneeze all over the restaurant with no mask. Didn t wash her hands, then sat down to count her tips. No washing of hands. No hygiene.

Come here for that quick-fix seafood craving. My norm here is the Chicharron de Pescado. Ask for their signature chimicurris sauce to accompany them- it is hot and soo delicious. Pour it over the chicharron and then toss them on a tortilla-yum. Aaand if you are not a fried foody, then go for their foiled fish plate. The fish is seasoned and steamed with veggies inside a foil wrap- it is delicious!

I have been coming here for 1/2 my life... Great food and atmosphere... For the past 2 years We have begun looking for another place to go and have dinner and drinks... With No exaggeration I would come here 2-3 times a week for Social time with spouse and friends... We have seen staff go and come back and leave again... Our bill would be in the High end and has come to Once a week and the amount spend($300 to $400 ) has gone to $20 to $100... Only (2 or 3 guest) The Owners are Wonderful but the Evening Manager is rude and has had words with my company. She has yet to tell me anything but as management background it is Very Wrong... If we were to keep staff from working then I can understand... We give waiters a chance but when service is not good We stick to the best... To many issues and Not allowing certain waiter to speak or talk to us is just Wrong in so many levels!!!

This place offers fantastic shrimp cocktails, ceviche, and seafood platters, the taste is authentic and always fresh when you order, give it a try. I like to refer to it as a hidden gem for seafood lovers who dont want to over pay for delicious food. I recommend putting some of their chimichuri house sauce on your food, be careful though it has a kick.

The fajitas were tough and over seasoned. Our table was one of two tables and even then the service was bad. We were given one napkin and had to get up to ask for a cup refill. The prices for the quality is way overpriced. Needless to say I wont be returning

Overpriced meal. Ordered a pow-boy chicken sandwich, and the avocado had various black spots plus the piece of chicken was a joke and the sweat tea had a funky sour taste. Better off going to subway or chik fil for a better meal at the same price.

It was the most horrible experiences we have had at a restaurant. We went there to celebrate my husbands birthday and he ordered the cazuela at over 20 dollars a dish as did one of my sons. It is supposed to have octopus, scallops, shrimp, fish, mushrooms, and crab legs in a broth and looks delicious in the pics they have advertising it. They were served dishes that looked nothing like the pics with no octopus, the shrimp were tiny, and the one scallop they found was brown and disintegrating as were the mushrooms. The one waitress saw how bad the dishes were and seemed to be on the phone with the owner, but to no avail. I on the other hand, ordered a seafood botana for 2 to split with my son and it arrived after everyone else had eaten and was missing the fried shrimp. Never again. My husband was disappointed with his birthday dinner and we will not be eating there again.

Had the Shrimp Sombrero and it was the worst Ive had. The shrimp was extremely over cooked. I asked the waitress if the Shrimp was fresh and she told me that it was all pre-cooked in the morning and kept in a warmer. Wont ever go back.
