We called in ahead of time to ask if they had room for a big family and at the time of arriving they had our table set up ready to go. The food was really good and the customer service was the best ! I would definitely recommend ! It’s been a while since I’ve had such a good experience at a restaurant.

Food was great, but the servers were excellent! They really made us feel welcome! Be sure to save room for the flan! Really good.

Visited this local specifically for their langosta (lobster) al mojo de ajo but left very disappointed. First, both their shrimp and lobster al mojo de ajo plates were prepared differently than what my boyfriend and I are used to -- which is the fish cooked with butter and garlic. Instead, these fishes were dry and topped with A LOT of mushrooms and onions. We did return the lobster plate and asked if the mushrooms and onions could be removed and the lobster cooked with garlic and butter; however, when it was brought back it was still dry and we were given a small bowl of pureed garlic and another of melted butter... guessing it was for us to dunk the lobster in. This issue was brought to the owner's attention but he insisted he had no idea what we meant by the fish cooked with garlic and butter and made comments like "well show me a picture of what it's supposed to look like"..."next time you visit you can go to the kitchen and cook it yourself"...and "in my 20-years no one has ever complained about our mojo de ajo dishes". The owner did state their mojo de ajo style is from Jalisco and he did offer to give us the meals for free but that is not what we wanted. The constructive criticism we provided was towards their menu and how it lacked to mention the style in which they prepared these dishes. We also suggested maybe having the waitresses inform the clients how these plates are prepared, or at least prepare the meal the way the client requests it if returned. Secondly, their prices are high. Our langostino appetizer, langosta al mojo de ajo, shrimp al mojo de ajo, and two drinks came out to $151 without the tip! Which would've been fine...if it was for meals we actually enjoyed. Will not be returning to this establishment nor do I recommend it.

Great food ,price a little bit high but good service .

No disrespect...Looks good but when my lips get oily it's not good for my stomach..Sum do say fat ( greasy ) is good ???

Asking for wakseen papers. No thanks! I'll take my business elsewhere.

It was a wonderful experience exept for the 4 t.v.s all in the same chanel i hate sports and i woulded at lest want one of tjem on news but the food and serbets where nice.

Great spot!! Local vibe with great service!!

Went in with no expectations just craving seafood.we started with some chips and tomato soup the quantities where pretty decent most places are a bit stingy on sauces and tostadas, and this place wasn't,they also had some Pico de Gallo tomatoes type of dip but I was super blownaway with how hot it was and I'm a big spicy food lover but this blew me away and perhaps even burned a few taste buds away too! It's a yummy dip just cut down a bit on whatever Chilli you use habanero or Serrano.then we ordered two lobsters almojo de ajothat had shrimp on top the blew me away! I might go back just for the shrimp, but the lobster was wayyy over priced although the presentation was great the lobster was slightly hard to chew and felt under cooked, and not very much flavor, even sizzlers lobster is better for half of the price we paid.so I was slightly disappointed because if imma spend 150 plus on a dish might as well go to a high end restaurant. Or get my lobster craving needs met at sizzlers, or maybe it was an off day for the cook.who knows ? but imma give this place a second chance because their shrimp was pretty darn good with the sauces on the table.
