Low stars for poor customer service and mediocre food. Our waiter quite literally said about a dozen words to us. He dropped off our food and never returned to ask how everything was or to see if we needed anything else. One of our order wasn’t as we requested and he never fixed it after we asked. We had to walk to the front to get our check to pay. We could have seriously walked out without paying and it wouldn’t have been noticed. To be fair, other tables looked like they were probably getting a little more attention than us. So maybe we just got a lemon waiter…..oh, like the yellow “lime” they served me with my corona!!

great service and EXCELLENT food, Ice cold beer

Wow the food fresh. The bar tender Henry excellentDrink maker. Worth the tipping. Thanks Henry ..Carla makes. A Great. Whiskey Sour.

We went to look for something to eat around the hotel we were staying at. We came in on Saturday 03/26/2022 about 1pm. Food was ok but our server decided to tip himself!!! I gave him my card and expected a receipt back or at least an option to choose how much I want to tip but he just came back saying “sign here”. I checked my bank account online and the total for food and drinks was $152 I signed for $190!! We didn’t want to make a big deal out of it but his behavior was totally unacceptable and I would love to be contacted by the manager! We left feeling so confused and disappointed

This place is delicious. It's clean and spacious. Never have to wait ro gwt seated. It would be better if the waiters/waitresses would check up on u more often, but not their fault, as they are in need of staff, so it's understandable. The manager is always so nice and always attentive.

My wife and I are not from the area and stopped here for lunch. What a mistake. The bacon wrapped shrimp were not consumable. The outside bacon was rock hard and the inside bacon was raw. When this was brought to the servers attention she said, “Oh.” She proceeded to take our plates and bring us our check.Please save yourself the trouble and eat elsewhere. I rarely leave reviews but since I am now not feeling well, I thought I would try to let others know.

This is a fantastic restaurant! Authentic, delicious seafood, down to earth fun atmosphere, generous portions, cerveza fresca and warm Mexican hospitality. I would absolutely visit again whenever in the area. Highly recommended!

Food was excellent! Delicious, so filling.Photos: Pinapple Thermador (highly recommended- great mix of spice flavoring with fresh citrus), wet burrito, and Octopus tacos,

I was amazed at how very fresh everything was...if you want to check that out, get the fried Calamari to start...absolutely amazing! I was staying at the hotel next door...I ate there two nights in a row...one night I had the whole Red Snapper, incredible...the drinks were equally amazing...I wish we had this place in Norhern CA where I live...Alan

Lots of great options. Try the octopus tacos. Really flavorful. I tried both the octopus and the gobernardor and preferred the octopus. Both were good though. The shrimp is the gobernardor was nice and buttery.
