Not a great dining experience. I had the shrimp cocktail, and my date had the civiche. Neither was great or worth having again. The fried dishes looked better when they drifted by. I would try them again if I was craving fried seafood. But not for the lighter seafood offerings. Worth noting it’s fairly warm in the restaurant… Might plan on dressing lightly… Or planning being hot.

Felt ignored waitress passed by us to get to customers who were seated after us, never checked on our drinks we had to ask for refills even though she passed by. The food is good so 2 stars. Probably won’t return .

I have to give a 2 thumbs down, the sopa de marisco was really bad, nothing in it but a potato and onion with a sardine floating in it. Do not recommend this place at all. I understand it’s the only one for that area, but spend the extra time to drive a little was to get good food and experience.

Best. Place. Ever. The frog legs are perfect. Crispy and juicy. My mom’s shrimp omelet was the absolute bomb, and my shrimp enchiladas were delicious. The rice and beans are absolutely excellent. Also the place is super cute. Go. Go immediately.

The good, really awesome salsa, good quality and fresh made. Good micheladas! First time visiting this location. The bad, I liked the theme inside but you would think an establishment that has been around since 1988 to maybe freshen up the place, a little paint and minor renovations wouldn’t hurt, the bathrooms seemed old and outdated, and dirty too. But overall I’d visit again.
