    If you are looking for fresh seafood this please is it. Their tostadas are so delicious and fresh. They don't come on top of a tostada but I'm sure you can ask for that they give you a place full of your choice of seafood and the tostadas on the side so you can make them on your own or eat it like that. Great flavor and so fresh. There shrimp tacos are delicious too very flavorful. Their octopus tacos are good too. Their fajitas are huge and delicious. Love there micheladas. On Saturdays they do have a dj at night so they have karaoke and a lot of good music. The staff is really friendly and attentive. Place is always cleaned and has great atmosphere. Definitely one of my to go spots for mariscos.

    La comida muy buena y la meters muy amable buena energia , musica muy limpio y amable personal

    The meal was absolutely delicious! started off with the Botana de Camaron San Pedro Guisada con Cascara and the shrimp was soooo flavorful in that dish! Also can't beat the $6.95 margaritas that also taste pretty good. By the time my entree arrived I was already pretty satisfied from the chips and appetizer but I managed to eat half and have some nice leftovers.

    The food is so delicious. The prices are cheap compared to other seafood restaurants. Since my first time here 1 month ago I have been there 4 times. They serve food after midnight, the live dj music and karaoke is entertaining. The service is excellent and margaritas are $6.95 and good! Love it here!

    The best shrimp tacos
    Chelsea ..

    I love coming down here! From their plate of camarones a la Diabla to their shrimp tacos are very flavorful. Also they're very quick on serving the food so if you're hungry no problem!

    Best places ever, Tommy best customer service, I recommend the shrimp cocktail, they aren't shy with the shrimp and it tastes amazing.

    Food is good but The Service is very disappointing. There are 3 of us here and ordered 4 Tostada Mixtas and they only give us one tostadas each. When we ask for more they only bring us 2. We ask again and they only bring us 2. I don't understand why. Is there a shortage of Tostadas because of covid now? They have always given a basket full. Even during covide the past 2 years. But today. Extremely stingy with them. Charged for the "extra tortillas"? I know it's only $1.30 but damn! Sounds pretty Petty as Hell to me. I have never been charged for this before here or anywhere. I guess we have to bring our own tostada tortillas before going to eat Mariscos?

    A hole in the wall Mexican joint that has my favorite carne asada burrito, tacos, chicken flautas,…read moretortas, and ceviche. I've also never experienced any other place that has their tortilla chips like this place!! I love how's it's complimentary with every food order. When I'm craving Mexican food, this is my go to spot. Unfortunately I'm a no sabo kid, so English is my default, which isn't a problem for this business when ordering. Although, I do wish they had a website for online orders. They're kind, helpful, and know they're serving special food locally. It's a small space, maybe 5-6 tables at most, but I normally order pick up anyway. It's welcoming and feels like you're walking into abuelito's/abuelita's house to be fed, even though you told them you're not hungry and they insisted on feeding you (you were hoping for that).

Just tortilla chips in a little bag and salsa for the chips that's it. She was very rude. Horrible customer service. This was a middle-aged lady (on the older side) We used to go there a while ago, and it was really good. We used to get huarache done the right way with fresh meat a good amount of cheese, lettuce, and avocado. This time we got a plane one with old crusty meat, Whoever said this is the best hole in the wall is not being honest they used to be good, now they are overpriced bad quality and customer service is awful. they lost a customer. plus this place is rundown they need to redo and update the Restaurant! Spanish version: Horrible!! No pierdas tu tiempo y dinero, mi marido pidió un huarache de carne asada y quería lechuga, aguacate y salsa verde para llevar, la señora que estaba tomando los pedidos en la caja registradora le preguntó si quería un huarache vegetariano... él dijo que no, ella tomó su pedido y él consiguió un huarache con frijoles, muy poco queso y carne asada seca que estaba picada... ¡sin lechuga, sin aguacate, sin salsa verde! Solo chips de tortilla en una bolsa pequeña y salsa para Los chips, eso es todo. Ella fue muy grosera. Horrible servicio al cliente. Esta era una señora de mediana edad, quien dijo que este es el mejor agujero en la pared no está siendo honesto, estaban buenos, ahora son demasiado caros, de mala calidad y el servicio al cliente es horrible. Perdieron a un cliente. Además, el restaurante parece viejo y desventado. Necesitan rehacer el restaurante!

To my surprise, it's definitely worth going in. As you walk in, they have a smoothie/fresh drinks area. On the left side, they have the ordering window. Since being my first time there, I ordered several items. We ended up ordering menudo which was tasty and not fatty. It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red). It came with rice, beans topped with shredded cheese, and 2 eggs (choice of over easy). It's a small place that feels like home away from home cooked meals. Overall, definitely coming back.

One meal can easily be split between multiple people. My favorites are the green enchiladas and the spicy chipotle burrito, and the rice and beans are just as flavorful and delicious as the main entrees. Upon being seated, you are served a spicy and cheesy bean dip with fresh chips, and there is a salsa bar inside where you can fill up on your choice of salsas. I sat in the outside patio area in my most recent visit, and while the quality of the food didn't change, the service was not the greatest; my table and a couple of other tables had a difficult time flagging anyone down for refills, to go containers, or the bill. There's also a pretty big price difference between paying with card and paying with cash; multiple menu items were at least 3-4 dollars more if you plan to pay with card. Still, the food is good and if you're craving some hearty and comforting Mexican food, S&B is a good option.

The tables and chairs ( specifically outside ) are awful and gross . The menus need replacing the laminate is peeling off.

Lastly for a sit down RR if you paid by card they charge extra like for real that is insane .

No table service, but able to order at the counter towards the back of the restaurant. Once the food was served, great customer service. The young lady kept checking in on us if we needed anything else. We ordered Menudo which was a little more oily than normal, a bit bland. The meat was fatty, no hominy, and about half of the bowl had meat. Served corn tortillas and with side of cilantro, onions, chile de arbol, lime, and oregano. Also ordered a combo of Chile Colorado with rice and beans. The beef was tender, tasty rice, but the beans tasted like from a can (not homemade), and 4 corn tortillas. 2 large drinks (size of cup were the almost the size of napkin holder - A+).
