    Rice, and beans
    Ash Y.

    Friendly, attentive service from start to finish and a huge menu with something for everyone. I ordered the El Aj's Alambre fajitas and really enjoyed them, and everyone in my group was happy with their meals too. The decor isn't really my style, but honestly, if the food hits, that's what matters most

    Muy Bien! What a pleasant surprise this new place is! We are so glad to see such a clean, bright, refreshing and welcoming addition to the Englewood restaurant scene. Service was impeccable, the food was fantastic and the drinks were refreshing. There were many more options on the menu compared to other local Mexican eateries, all entice us to return to try something different.

    5 stars for this newer Mexican restaurant in Englewood! Delicious! And the service was excellent! There were five of us and we had a reservation. The place was busy, lively, clean and welcoming! We will be back! Yum!

    Margaritas-
    Teresa R.

    Tomas our server was wonderfully attentive and polite. We all enjoyed a few margaritas along with the chips and salsa. (Would like a spicier option on the salsa). We had garlic shrimp, chili rellenos, tamale and shrimp fajitas. All were very good. My favorite was the garlic shrimp and the tamale! We finish our meal with a shared fried ice cream. The pricing is great-$70-ish dollars per couple including 2 margaritas each! Loki h forward to the next meal and drinks here!! Oh and there is a nice large bar here also.

    New restaurant, excellent food, friendly service. I got the arroz con pollo. Which is the chicken with rice and vegetables. It was delicious. The chicken is cut thin and it's on top of a bit of rice with onions, peppers, and other vegetables on rice.. first time there, but I will be going back

    Chicken and shrimp fajita

    Beautiful new restaurant the food is really fresh and delicious. Service was excellent. We were here with some children and needed stuff separated out. They did a great job.

    Take out wasn't very good. It also wasn't as good as Los Cuetos down Placida which is modest but amazing.

We love the to go cups with the lids with the lighthouse symbol on it. Our waitress was absolute fantastic. I don't know her name, but she has auburn hair with beautiful curls. She was absolutely fantastic. The place seem very clean. We got seated immediately. We got our food quick and it was just a wonderful atmosphere. but, there was only one drawback. I had the smash burger and fries. The fries were fantastic, but the hamburger would have been wonderful except it was undercooked. It looked done on the outside, but on the inside, it was soft mushy some pink, some dark pink in parts of it. I got a mouthful of it taste like raw hamburger meat. i'm not the one that sends food back. I just had my fries and I had a couple bites of the hamburger and let it go. My waitress was wonderful and asked how everything was and we did tell her that it was undercooked and she told us, I'll let them know. Being a great waitress. They are supposed to let the cook or the manager know if something is not being cooked properly. So I told her I didn't want anything in return, but she did take the hamburger back. I have a bad feeling that she was chastised for that because when she came back out, she had glasses on and she didn't look at me. We paid our bill and left, but my husband and I both got the bad feeling that she got chastised for letting them know that that burger was undercooked. Normally, you don't have to tell someone to cook the burger done because the last thing you want is raw ground beef in your mouth. i'm hoping it was just a fluke and I hope she didn't get in trouble because she was a wonderful waitress, and I would go back and just make sure next time I tell them make sure my burger was cooked all the way through.. we had fish all day and it was wonderful sitting up there in a beautiful atmosphere!!

They were pretty busy but the food arrived quickly. Lots of people were stopping in for fresh seafood from the market while a few were having lunch outside. The food was delicious and everyone loved it. The only issue we had was that I was hoping to just get fried shrimp for my daughter but the only options were coconut shrimp or the shrimp po boy. They said that's all they could do. Once we received the shrimp po boy, I was confused why they couldn't just give us that but without the bread. Oh well, she just picked the shrimp off the bun and loved it anyways. Just didn't seem very accommodating when they seemed so helpful to the customers ordering from the actual fresh seafood market. We will definitely come back.

    I've gone here a handful of times throughout the years. I've never been impressed. This time…read morethough, will be my last. They changed the inside of the market. Before, you used to be able to view the live lobsters and see them pick them out. I used to like this, because I want to make sure the lobsters are alive and moving when they are removed from the water. Now, I don't know where they keep them, but I can't see them. I wouldn't trust that I am getting the fresh and very alive lobsters. Second, and most important of all, the prices are BAD. I called them a couple weeks ago for the price of lobsters. They told me 3 for $65. For me, that's extremely expensive. For me, I wouldn't pay that for myself, but my wife wanted me to cook some lobsters (would have been only her second time having lobster in her life). I decided to give them a try one last time and compare it to other markets that cost much less. If I could get similar taste at the other markets, I would no longer go here. Sadly, when I went in, I noticed the prices were now 3 chick lobsters for $75, or $25 a pound if you don't want 3. I asked about this, telling them they recently told me they were $65 on the phone... maybe not more than 2 weeks ago... and they said they raised their prices. Holy shit. That's not a $1 raise... or a $3 raise, but a whopping $10 raise. It wasn't too long ago that 3 of their lobsters were $25, and even that seemed expensive. I was willing to try them one last time at $65 (highway robbery bent over backwards), so I asked if they would honor the price quoted on the phone a few weeks ago, and they said no. So I walked out without spending one penny. These prices are terrible. TERRIBLE. Other markets in the area are charging $15 a pound for new england live lobsters. It's their store, they can charge what they want, but I won't buy anything if the prices are too high. Maybe this will go out of business like the port charlotte location? Maybe the snow birds don't know about other places to buy fresh lobster and pay the price? Well, if you know where to shop, you can find everything I've seen in this store for about 1/2 the cost. Tourist trap? I don't know, but buyer beware.
