I've gone here twice--best Mexican seafood in the area handsdown. Gone twice already and the Platillo de Langostinos is amazing. My family usually gets the huge molcajete which is massive and also amazing. This place has more meat and more seasoning with less grease compared to the other places in the area. Music on Fridays is great and their micheladas are huge!Customer service has been great. Very kind. Very attentive. Food also comes out faster than the other places I've been around here.Highly recommend :)

This place has the best Mexican seafood in Joliet! Not only do the serve you big portions of food, the food is absolutely delicious!! The staff is very warm and friendly, they provided excellent costumer service!

The food was really good. It was pretty pricey for the area. The seafood prices I understand but the drinks seemed high to me. I thought everything was fresh, the service was a little slow we were there for 2 hours.

Really surprised to be honest because I have been to a couple of seafood places in Joliet and was disappointed these places hit the mark very friendly and pretty quick on getting us our food definitely will be back , save me a long trip to Chicago ??

I ordered a Molcajetazo and it was kind messy and burned out, I wasn’t impressed with the flavor either, that worst part is that they overcharged me, I end up paying $41 dollars for a molcajetazo and a michelada ($21 dollars and $8.50 in the menu) not going back

Not a big fan of ceviche but the shrimp octopus cocktail was delicious. Very good service too.

My friends and I enjoyed the Molcajetazo Al chipotle, empanadas and ceviche. We loved everything. The drinks were great and we had a fun time. We loved our server Lupe. She did a great job helping navigate the menu. We will be back soon.

Went here for date night. I had the shrimp fajitas and my husband had fish (tilapia). It was ok but pricey. It's the first time I had to ask for tortillas with fajitas(they were delicious). The tilapia was strong and a little muddy tasting. I had a large horchata and he had a Corona(which was cheaper than my drink) and it was $52. Nice little place but remember it's a seafood place so a little more money.

The food is very fresh and has awesome seasoning, we have been trying different dishes everytime we go. Must tries are the Empanadas and Langostinos but you cant go wrong with anything you order. Staff is very friendly and atmosphere is welcoming.

We tried this for the first time today on a recommendation from a friend. Most of the food was great. The ceviche is what kept me from giving 5 stars - it tasted like they used old lime juice, extra bitter. The service was not great. We had to ask for things several times before we got them. The shrimp cocktail was great. The garlic shrimp were also excellent. We plan to go back, hopefully this was just an off day.
