    Great food, great service! The store Is cute, clean and the best part, the food is authentic and fresh.

    Celina W.

    This was hands-down the best ceviche I've had since living in L.A.! The flavors were spot-on, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Funny story--I told her the taste reminded me of my uncle's ceviche, something I haven't had in years since I haven't visited my hometown in L.A. Turns out, she's actually from L.A. too, and from a city right next to where my uncle lives. Such a cool full-circle moment!

    Raspado.
    Linda C.

    My first time here because I was craving a raspado. I also got the Cheeto corn. I thought I said a vanilla raspado but I was given coconut. But it's ok. I guess I tried something new. The lady worker was really sweet & I didn't want her to make another one so I just took it. I wasn't really a big fan of the coconut so I gave it to my bf and felt like the Cheeto corn could use more mayo on it as it's a bit dry.. but the staff is friendly and the store is pretty clean. Looks like a small business and I suggest trying this place out!

    Called fruit drink with spicy Mexico seasoning around the rim and straw. Freaking delicious.
    Ted S.

    The shop is Apparently Mexican street food, which I was really not expecting. I thought it was going to be more of a taco shop with burritos and stuff. I was very pleasantly surprised with the drinks and had a shrimp and fruit dish for lunch. Everything that I ate was very fresh and very good. I used to own a restaurant in Chicago and I recognize that the owners are taking great effort at keeping everything absolutely as fresh as they can and the shop itself is very clean and presentable.

    Clamato
    Courtney S.

    Everything was delicious! My husband got clamato and it was so fresh and flavorful. I got the elote and it was insanely good! The owner makes everything FRESH. She was so kind and friendly and wanted to share her story and experience. It was so great. I can't emphasize how tasty and fresh everything is!!

    Destiny R.

    Service was excellent. I got a mangoneada and elote. I will definitely be back to taste more things on the menu.

    This spot was very clean! I loved the decoration and the service was very welcoming. But the star of the show definitely had to be the food! Everything was so tasty and fresh. I recommend you come with a buddy and try everything you will not be disappointed. We will be regular customers from here on out

    Piñalada and mangonada  yum
    Michael L.

    It's summer ! And it's getting hot so you might want to find some time to get some cool refreshments from this place asap ! Everything is made from scratch and tastes very fresh. I've only had a few item off their extensive menu but I have all summer to try every delicacy available. The ladies working service you with a smile and please by all means smile back okay.

    Mangonada with fruit

    This is the place to go if you want some quality Mexican style sea food and botanas, I highly recommend this place.

    Mangonada

    La mejor mangonada que e probado, lo recomiendo, vallan a probar las botanas que se miran ricas. El lugar se mira limpio y el servicio excelente.

On 4/14/26 at 6:45pm I placed an order with this establishment. After receiving my food, I encountered an issue with my order. I called the restaurant to address the problem and seek a resolution. When my call was answered, the employee did not initially identify herself. I had to ask for her name, at which point she stated her name was Jasmine. I found it unprofessional that she did not provide a basic introduction when answering the phone. I then requested to speak with a manager regarding my complaint. Jasmine refused to provide the manager's name when I asked, which immediately raised concerns about transparency and accountability. After insisting, I was eventually transferred to the manager. Once the Manager came to the phone his introduction was bag o crab, I asked for his name. The manager refused to provide his name when asked. For appropriate customer service and documentation purposes I needed to know who I was speaking with but he continued to refuse. Shortly after I requested his name again, the manager rudely refused and hung up on me.This behavior was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. At no point was I provided with assistance, or any effort to resolve the issue with my order. This experience demonstrated a complete lack of customer service, accountability, and professionalism. Refusing to identify oneself as a manager and hanging up on a customer attempting to resolve an issue is unacceptable. My order was horrific. My experience was horrific and I wasted my money.

Just about everything here is made to order (fish, wings, pretty much the whole menu), so patience is part of the deal when ordering at the counter. If you're in a hurry, calling ahead or using DoorDash is always an option. For lunch, I ordered a 2-piece catfish with collard greens and candied yams to dine in, plus a chicken wing and fish combo with fries to go. One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't fry the to-go order at the same time as my dine-in meal. That meant everything was piping hot and fresh when I walked out the door. The catfish is my usual go-to and it never disappoints -- perfectly fried, well seasoned, and consistent every time. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like someone's uncle back there is cooking from the soul. The collard greens are tender, flavorful, and always hit the spot. And the candied yams? Honestly more like dessert than a side -- sweet, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. Yes, it can feel a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it.

Everything was cold and the fillets looked identical in both orders and they were not labeled. Ontop of that both orders were not hot or fresh out the grease the flavor was there but it was cold to the taste. And no corn bread after we asked for it in our order instead 2 slices of bread one for each order we could not make a fish sandwich with that . Im not sure wat the hype is about this place being fresh and hot we didn't experience anything like it i guess . I don't think ill be back .

I found myself in Vallejo going around to a couple of them, including Applebee's and the Olive Garden. As it's been a while since I've been to a red lobster, maybe 20 years. The only location I know of is in Antioch. Recently moving to Cordelia, I was able to drop by Vallejo and get a bite of the delicious biscuits. When entering the establishment, it's pretty clean very dark and we were greeted and instantly by the front desk. We like to sit at the bar so we went over there. There aren't many chairs available seating, but the place was completely dead. The bar itself is pretty weird, they have a bar in front and drinks are made to the side of the bar in the kitchen. When looking over the menu prices have definitely skyrocketed. I went ahead and ordered myself a baked potato that was topped with crab and lobster. I asked for a side of melted butter and let that drizzle over the baked potato. That was reasonably priced as it was just aside. We had a few cocktails. I had their spiked lemonade that was on the happy hour menu, but it was totally sweet and lacking in alcohol. We didn't sit around in order other items as we just came from Applebee's and had a full meal there. Our menu is a great year. If you're looking for some great seafood, I will tend to go outside of the layout and go to a real seafood restaurant.

The fish and prawns with chips were excellent, cooked perfectly, and the clam chowder was genuinely superb. This kitchen clearly knows its way around seafood when it wants to. So the good news is there's plenty to love here. Just do yourself a favor and steer clear of the Crab Louie until they decide to make a proper dressing.
