Stumbled upon this hidden gem the other day. The interior and vibe of this place was really nice with a big screen perfect for catching some World Cup matches. We got helped out immediately and service was really good in recommending some options. We got some micheladas which were 10/10 and the Shinola platter which was amazing because it came with a variety of everything including oyster shots. Would highly recommend checking this place out for some mariscos and some micheladas. read more

Great & food service. Went here with my wife to watch World Cup games and a few other times. Would happily return.

El peor servicio que he experimentado en mi vida. Éramos un grupo de cuatro personas. Todos pedimos al mismo tiempo y a dos de nosotros nos sirvieron en 20 minutos; otra persona del grupo esperó una hora y la otra esperó una hora y media. Definitivamente el peor servicio que he recibido. Sin duda, nunca volveré a este lugar. Worst service I have ever experienced. We had a group of four. We all ordered at the same time and they serve two of us within 20 minutes another person in the group before waited an hour, and the other person has waited an hour and a half absolute worst service I've ever experienced definitely will never return to this place read more

Lots of seating inside, although I usually take it as takeout. I usually get the aguachiles and it comes out great each time. They have lots of lemon hints and a good kick of spice. They are quick and attentive whenever I eat there. read more

We went on a Saturday. Gabby was our waitress. She recommended the Pulpo, which was phenomenal 10 out of 10 I will be coming back specifically for this. We also got the aguas chile in SalsaNegra.. We did not like it. It was a little on the sweet side. We ordered a half dozen of Oysters which were partially frozen, but I'm sure if they weren't frozen, They would be very good. We also had another Waitress Odette to help us. Overall we were satisfied, will go back and give it another chance especially because of our waitress Gabby. Great customer service! Also the owner was very welcoming . read more

Me and my boyfriend came to try a new seafood restaurant in town , had high hopes with the ratings here on yelp. Got seated right away, music was great. Our waitress since the beginning was really rude. We didn't get a welcome to blah blah, she just asked if we wanted to order appetizers she seemed she was in a hurry or didn't have patience. She was walking away within the 20seconds after asking us. She brought the chips and guacamole we order then left. We got our food in a timely manner which that was good . When we got our shrimp cocktail, they didn't bring lemons . We asked her for ketchup and lemons . When she brought the lemons she just left them in the corner of the table without saying anything. Just like when you leave food to an animal. The whole time we were there not even the 3 waiters that were their came to ask if we good or we needed anything else. Just to mention the place was not even packed, their was only 2 families and us their. I got asked after I told them to bring the total if I wanted a refill on my cup.(after we finished eating and about to leave I get asked if I wanted a refill:/). At the register they added a $15 típ automatically, asked my boyfriend not to tip them because they never got near our table at the time we sat there. Never coming back here . read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area and we saw this wonderful place. It wasn't too crowded on a Sunday evening, with several tables occupied with other patrons. The inside of the restaurant had a vibrant and fun atmosphere with music playing! We were immediately seated and they gave us some salsa and chips to munch on as we looked at the menu. We ordered the Mitotero Molcajete and Mojarra Frita. OH MY GOODNESS. Honestly, after my first bite of the Mitotero Malcajete, I briefly thought I got transported to a beach side restaurant somewhere in Santa Barbara or Santa Monica. The freshness of the seafood is not to be trifled at!! The raw octopus, fish, and shrimp pieces tastes like THEY WERE PULLED FROM THE OCEAN MOMENTS AGO! I'm a seafood and sushi snob and I gave this place. 10/10 for their ingredient freshness rating. I told my boyfriend this was the best meal I had ALL WEEK. I was legit surprised there was such a restaurant of quality in Upland I ordered the Mojarra Frita myself. If you like fish, ORDER THIS! It had an incredible combination of crispy, flavorful fish while the inside was slightly undercooked, moist and juicy meat. I fell in love all over again It was even better with the bowl of lime they gave me. I squeezed a butt load of lime and it gave it that amazing, clean citrus palate cleanse that paired well with the fish. Thank you for the quick, amazing and friendly service! We can't wait to come back here again and try your other menu items!! read more

I felt taken advantage of the waitress already had entered her percentage of tip. She expected my little tiny short glass of margarita was coming to $20. I felt rushed and pushed and put on display that I was to pay that high tip as she held her little credit card pod The lowest I could enter was 18%. It was a rip off then later I asked for a glass of water and she said no that she could only charge me for a bottle of water. I said I'm not gonna drink anymore. I am driving. I am alone. I want water now if she could please bring me a glass of water and she said absolutely not. We don't serve water then minutes later, an older man came to my table and was taking my little short drink away with water down ice. I told him not to take it and he kept trying to take it. I said this is the only water I have. I'm sucking on my ice cubes. I'm so thirsty. I will never go there again this place just wants your money and the service is terrible and the bathroom needs updating they had a freestanding toilet paper holder on floor read more

Came here for the Jenni Rivera show she was awesome but the restaurant itself was not that great. The service was slow with food and drinks at times I thought they forgot. The area got really hot we were fanning ourselves it felt cooler in the bar and bathroom area but not where the main seats are at and we were sitting right under the vent. The drinks were bonk! I had 4 mix drinks and 2 shots and it was like drinking water thinking they may not use the alcohol amount needed . I will not be going back. read more

I had the privilege of being served by Gaby on Friday night and Lili on Saturday. A big thank you to both. read more

Service was great.... BUT we were the only table in the entire restaurant. So idk how they are when they're actually busy. Food was very good. We got. Little bit of everything just to try it. Shockingly i liked my childs cheeseburger the most lol. However the sushi roll had too much rice. The roll was super thick because of all the rice! My shrimp taco had too much sauce. Every bite i took had sauce pouring out the taco. Cant review on the ambiance. No music, we were the only clients there. This place definitely has potential. read more
