Been before but first time at this particular location. The Doña Ines plate was excellent. Very favorable as these types of plates should be. The service is always excellent here. My only thing was charging me $5 for the habanero salsa. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem paying top dollar for good food but let me know there's a charge. I've gotten the same salsa elsewhere at no charge. None the less this is an excellent marisco spot.

If you’re used to good Mexican seafood this is NOT the place for you. Food is mediocre and taste old. Hostess girls had a you’re bothering me kinda of attitude, our server was nice though.

The food never disappoints! The service however is usually awful. Rarely do you get a waitress who's nice, efficient and on point. But it's gotten a million times better since covid hit. But like I said the food never disappoints! Two thumbs up to the chefs!!!!

Food and service very good. Choice of music terrible. Mexican food, mexican music maybe?

We love mexican seafood and we saw a review here on TA that dogs could sit outside on the patio. Not so, not a big deal but confusion when we were told first to walk our three dogs through the actual resturant to the patio, then minutes later thay we had to leave (only service dogs???). We ordered take out, not a big deal. The food was actaully very good! I had the Ceviche Trio which was huge and enough for two people; excellent options, all very good and unusual. My wife had the Salmon (grilled) and also very good. Sorry, no photos this time due to take out but the quality, taste and look of the food was all great. Just wish they staff would get the patio rules figured out but again, not a problem and we are happy the food was so good.

If you feel like going to a Mexican version of hooters with Reggaeton music blasting and sub par service with decent food, when they have what ur trying to order( smh ),I say give it a go. The portions are a good note, cuz their plates are huge , you can definitely split almost any plate and get full.

Food was great! Large portions! Fast service.

Very nice waitresses and very good food!

The margarita was horrible as were the guacamole and ceviche. After I mentioned to the waitress that the margarita was horrible she didn't even have the decency to comp the drink or at least offer to have the bartender make another drink. Bad customer service. To end on a good note the pescado zarandeado was good. Don't waste your time on dessert.

The food was good and well seasoned. However, the hostess was very difficult. She would not allow us to sit in the bar area. She said there was a waiting list. When and where have you been to have to be put on a waiting list to sit at the bar? We asked others around us sitting in the bar and they didn't have to be put on a waiting list???? You need to be more appreciative if your customers. We spent quite a bit of money there, but I would not return due to their service.
