    Got myself a Michelada BOMB. Shrimp ceviche delicious. Highly recommend coming here ! Very nice and welcoming. Also have live Banda here

    This place is great! Location is overall clean and welcoming. We've been here 2 times and it has not disappointed. Both times we've come around 3/4 and have never waited. The food and drinks are both great and reasonably priced. Service is amazing, waitresses are patient and kind. My family and I have definitely found our new mariscos place. Just read the reviews below mine... I have never seen flies around my food or anything like that. And everyone has always been very kind and welcoming.

    Mojarra with like chorizo beans. The rice was buttery and garlicky- supper yummy

    We have been here a couple of times now. The food is fresh and very flavorful. We have had several dishes and all have been delicious. This is a hidden gem, highly recommended The staff was friendly and attentive. We are yet to come when there's live music to see how that ambience is, but would not hesitate to come back on a regular day

    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 .

    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 .

    Super good you can taste the Mezcal.

    Not a huge seafood person, so I got the carne asada and it was sooo good! I had the shrimp empanadas and they were good too. I'd return.

Absolutely out of this world, definitely the best chili Riano sauce I've ever had. It was so good I was dipping my tacos in it and just eating it with the rice. The rice was flavorful and so were the beans which is a hit or miss for Mexican restaurants these days. The shrimp tacos were phenomenal! I recommend getting it without the chipotle and getting their green salsa or using that red sauce from the chile Riano. The elote was on point. Another hit or miss for Mexican restaurants. Personally I feel like most places use too much sauce making it into a soup. This place had the perfect amount of every ingredient. The pina was too Right away when we walked in we were greeted by multiple friendly staff members. Nice clean restaurant. Plenty of menu options. I'll definitely be coming back.

Overall very filling with decent portions of steak. Not sure how it's a wet burrito though, the only items on the side were lettuce, salsa, and chips. But misleading from that regard.

The art on the walls was fun and piratey, and the booths were comfy. Our server was perfect. She brought everything we asked for and even offered extra tartar sauce to take home with our leftovers! The real story here is the portions. HOLY HECK!! It was So Much Food. 8 fish sticks on a mountain of fries. The burrito was gargantuan. It's going to take my husband 3 days to get through it. But everything was so good. Husband kept stealing my fish sticks!! The homemade tartar sauce was delightful and the cinnamon sugar chips with the fried ice cream were a great touch. We will definitely return when we next need a taste of the sea.
