This off the beaten path establishment is a treasure. In the ever disappearing Mom and Pop restaurant scene, it was a joy to happen upon. William and his wife have owned this business in their home for 11 years. I grew up on fried fish, and this was the best I have ever eaten. The ceviche was top notch. I tried lobster tentacles for the first time, and it was umami. I regret not telling William that he desperately needs new chairs-someone please politely mention this to him. I would have eaten every meal there had I discovered it on my first day.

The young lady didn't even offer a refill. I had to chase her down for what I wanted. Twice. 2. Food was not good at all. The guacamole dip was too salty, the shrimp nachos were decorated nicely but tasted below average. Not horrible but below with stale chipsfor both the guac and nachos! I didn't finish my meal. I left over 60% of my dish. My wife had the governor tacos (Gobernadores) but let me tell they were nasty. The cheese, the shrimp and the veggies were all not on point. We have had plenty of these same dishes elsewhere and this was the least favorite. Definitely no star. 3. It was extremely hot and we were bunched together. Music was annoying. No star for atmosphere or anything related to it. 4. Over priced! The bill was around 640 with a manipulative 95 peso top charge, conviniently circled at the bottom so you think thets what you have to pay. When I asked the lady she said it was only a suggestion. Then I said why did she Circleville and not tell me? Blank stare, took my card added an additional charge for card use and rang me up. I paid 40 bucks or so. No star.

It was perfect and fueled us for the walk back to the resort nearby. We sat outside and watched the sun set on the water and that just made the night even more perfect

I honestly didn't expect a lot, but we were all pleasantly surprised by the wide array of options, and the fact that virtually all dishes we tried turned out to be really good. Now keep in mind that my 5 star rating is not based on an absolute scale, meaning that I'm not putting it in the same category as a 3-star Michelin joint, but it's based on what I expected from an included dining menu at a hotel. I actually tried to get something different every meal and everything I tried was good. Lunch, in particular, was outstanding. The queso fundido, jalapeno poppers, ceviche, calamari, etc were something we got over and over. The only disappointment was the pork loin medallions my wife got that were overcooked and super dry. But seriously - I will not hesitate to use this option again. Service is a little slow, but you're on vacation so enjoy.

We were a party of 5 entertaining a guest for dinner. I made the reservation online requesting 7:30 p.m. window seating in July for an August dinner. I received confirmation from Jose. Upon arrival there was no window seats available (oddly enough they had seated a gentleman at a window seat, seated for 6, (Go FIGURE). I stated to the hostess that I had requested a window table a month ago. She then opened the private dining room for us which was stifling hot and had to be cooled down the waiter to serve that room was very disinterested and disregarding toward us. We ordered cocktails, normally the bar makes an excellent Cosmo. this time the first martini cocktail glass was 1/2 full, when I ordered another it came full but dark red like they just poured cranberry juice in a glass, I sent back and came back with the same glass of cranberry juice. Then I requested to add more Vodka and then they came back with a glass of vodka unknown to me it was Belvedere Vodka, which needed not to be for a Cosmo until I got the charge on the bill $$. Moving on to the food. There are "2 quality" of beef choices: Premium and Regular. 4 of the dining guest ordered the Regular priced steaks only to be told "the kitchen is out of their choices" and that the premium beef selection was the only option. Note: all the beef ordered was requested to be done medium rare. I ordered the Creamy Mushroom Pasta. When the food came 2 of the steaks came out perfect 1 of them less than perfect and 1 well done (not to mention all the gristle on the "Premium Choice Steak), and to note: the Mash Potatoes that sat on the plate like a potato soup. There was also a request of French Fries instead of Mash Potatoes that finally came after asking 2 times and after everyone was almost done eating. My pasta was under cooked at the ends, stuck together and when I asked for grated cheese it was never delivered as I sat waiting and waiting as my pasta got cold. The bill was a hefty bill and was did not want to make a stink about the food and drinks because we were entertaining a guest... sorry so many other places, will NOT be back next year or recommend this place.

We added a little salt, but that's all it needed. They also serve you a small little dish of ceviche as an app and some jicama. The ceviche was really fresh and had a little kick to it. We ordered a couple kid's meals (fish and chicken nuggets) and two orders of fish tacos. We should have just ordered one fish tacos. They were very large and a little bland. It came with a spicy mayo looking sauce that really gave it all the flavor. My kids didn't really like the fish and nuggets much... but I would never factor in their dislikes into a review because their taste buds are off. We would definitely come back if in the area, but I would love to try other things on the menu. They do have a little playscape outside for the kids, which was really nice. My kids also enjoyed watching all the large lizards around.
