Friendly, helpful and they seemed to know many of the patrons - telling me that many are regulars and the food is consistently good. The meh. I has a volcano bowl of some proteins. Don't remember all of what was in it. It was a nice balance of flavors and heat. I can't put my finger on why I didn't love the dish. I suspect it's because it's a local taste slightly out of my palette. This said, there were many delicious looking dishes on other tables, so take my review lightly. The bad. Nothing to report.

The guacamole was one of the best we have ever had and trust me when I say this because we are in Mexico a lot! My husband and I split the shrimp fajitas and they were very good. My husband and I had differing opinions because he thought the fajitas were 5 star and I would only give them 3 1/2 to 4 at best. I thought the shrimp was overcooked and they didn't give you any salsa to put on the fajitas unless you bought a side of it.

Service was good at the start but once the place got full, we never saw our waiter again and had to walk up to the front and ask for them.

Maybe, but with El Barracuda behind the restaurant- I'd just go there instead.

We ordered quite a bit: Margaritas (they had a buy 2, get 1 free special), calamari, guacamole, ceviche, and baja shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos were tasty but served on a radish instead of a traditional tortilla. This was unexpected but okay, especially since it reduced my carb intake, lol. Service was quick. It's outdoor seating, that is covered, and there was a nice breeze. The restaurant is very cute, with great decor. Bathrooms were clean!

You think it, and he is one the way with it. The preparation of the food is top notch, pulpo is done to perfection and is a good size entree, the molcajete is enormous with individual flavors all presenting themselves while you eat, and did I mention it is served somewhere molten lava. There are multiple areas to dine, outside in the garden area, inside(with air conditioning) or at the bar. Staying in Nuevo Vallarta, make this a stop for dinner

The food was the best in that area and one of the best for our 2 week trip. I don't think they take reservations because everyone in line was waiting - first come first serve style.

You have to pluck a third of the meat with your fingers just to get the tortilla to structurally hold. There is always a line.

You eat what you order and leave behind your self respect. The dining room is packed tighter than a turtle's pecker. A dozen staff members move around each other like bees tending the hive, the rhythm wild and relentless. The tacos themselves are intimidatingly large, the vibe unlike anything I have ever seen. Come for the al pastor, and come hungry. If you cannot finish, no option exists but to weep over the abandoned morsels.
