The young lady didn't even offer a refill. I had to chase her down for what I wanted. Twice. 2. Food was not good at all. The guacamole dip was too salty, the shrimp nachos were decorated nicely but tasted below average. Not horrible but below with stale chipsfor both the guac and nachos! I didn't finish my meal. I left over 60% of my dish. My wife had the governor tacos (Gobernadores) but let me tell they were nasty. The cheese, the shrimp and the veggies were all not on point. We have had plenty of these same dishes elsewhere and this was the least favorite. Definitely no star. 3. It was extremely hot and we were bunched together. Music was annoying. No star for atmosphere or anything related to it. 4. Over priced! The bill was around 640 with a manipulative 95 peso top charge, conviniently circled at the bottom so you think thets what you have to pay. When I asked the lady she said it was only a suggestion. Then I said why did she Circleville and not tell me? Blank stare, took my card added an additional charge for card use and rang me up. I paid 40 bucks or so. No star. I don't mind paying good money for gppd food, but this wasn't worth it. I ate as much and even better across the street at Mahi Mahi.

My mother asks if we could cancel (we're starving waited long enough) and pay for the water bottle only. Owners show up aggressively insisting we stay as our food is ready to serve. Look at the food I ordered from their kitchen whole fish was not fried as asked just BONES. We walk out, waiter chases us down the street (almost 5 miles) to get the money for the water (after he said we don't have to pay after my mother offered to pay for it) then comes the owners in their scooter. Turns into an HOUR long dispute. They begin recording us, taunting us all the way down to the ferry entrance, called us the worst possible names, the husband PUSHED MY MOTHER twice and SPIT ON ME!!! He raised his hands up at me several times as if he was going to hit me! DISGUSTING, TRASH, UNEDUCATED, UNPROFESSIONAL corrupted police got involved they took their side even said we are required to pay for the food even if we didn't eat it threatened to pay up or my mother could spend 36 hours in jail! Longest review I've ever done be careful where you go to anywhere in MX! Después de 30 minutos de espera por nuestra comida (no asistieron otros clientes), mi madre le preguntó al camarero si llegaría nuestro aperitivo. El camarero dice que nunca hizo el pedido. Mi madre pregunta si podemos cancelar (nos morimos de hambre y esperamos lo suficiente) y pagar solo la botella de agua. Los propietarios aparecen agresivamente insistiendo en que nos quedemos mientras nuestra comida está lista para servir. Mire la comida que pedí en su cocina, el pescado entero no estaba frito como lo pedí, solo HUESOS. Salimos, el camarero nos persigue por la calle (casi 5 cuadras ) para conseguir el dinero para el agua (después de que dijo que no teníamos que pagar después de que mi madre se ofreció a pagarla) y luego vienen los dueños en su scooter. Se convierte en una disputa de una HORA. ¡¡¡Comienzan a grabarnos, burlándose de nosotros hasta la entrada del ferry, nos insultan con los peores nombres posibles, el marido EMPUJÓ A MI MADRE dos veces y ME ESCUPIÓ!!! ¡Levantó las manos hacia mí varias veces como si fuera a golpearme! ASQUEROSO, BASURA, SIN EDUCACIÓN, NO PROFESIONAL La policía corrupta se involucró, se pusieron de su lado, incluso dijeron que debíamos pagar la comida, incluso si no la comíamos, ¡amenazó con pagar o mi madre podría pasar 36 horas en la cárcel!

Our server was on it and brought everything out to us at a good pace. They also offered 2 for 1 drink specials and I highly recommend their aperol spritz!

We didn't really have a plan to come here as it never popped up in our research, and we're usually a little questioning on places right on 5th....but we were craving steak for a late dinner one night and this place had it so we said why not? WOWWWW. This honestly was one of our favorite meals on the trip. I'm so glad we gave it a try. Drinks. The best margs in Playa. Hands down. Less than $10 a marg and these are high quality. We had them two nights and they are consistent too. Honestly, worth every penny and I could have drank here our whole trip. The restaurant was slow by the time we got there but service was still fantastic the whole time. The guacamole??? THEY MAKE IT TABLE SIDE. And it's super fresh ingredients, salted to your liking. They had us try it before they put it on our table. It was such a fun experience and was so delicious. This was our one non-mexican meal. I'm sorry, I needed some fries. And they killed it. We got the steak and shrimp. The steak was cooked well, super tender and juicy, and tons of flavor. It was the perfect size for us to share. The shrimp? I'll be honest, I haven't eaten a lot of shrimp in my life and tend to be picky on my seafood...I ate my fair share. The grill flavor they had on these. Amazing. So good. And their fries were cooked to perfection. Such a great meal. If you have family members that are picky but you still want to eat local food on your trip, I would recommend this spot. It has something for everything. And, I recommend it regardless because it was bomb.

If it's a hot day, try to sit near one of the big fans -- they make a big difference. A few minutes later, a server came by to take our drink order. We ordered a dirty martini and a mixed cocktail (vodka and club soda). I noticed the waiter seemed to be struggling to explain the drink order to the bartender, and a few minutes later, we were served a chocolate martini instead. Rather than get upset, my wife and I just smiled at each other. I speak a little Spanish, so I went up to the bar to clear things up. The bartender and I worked it out, and within five minutes, my wife had the dirty martini she originally ordered. Please note I also provided a picture of the spicy margarita. For our meal, we ordered guacamole, salsa, steak tacos, and chicken enchiladas. The guacamole and salsa was made fresh at our table -- I even got some great videos of the process. About 20 minutes later, the main course arrived. The steak tacos were generous and filling, so I was lucky enough to snag one. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned -- I loved it! My chicken enchiladas were also delicious. The only surprise was the cheese on top; it was a thick, white cheese, more like what you'd find on a sandwich than on traditional enchiladas. That said, it still tasted great. One tip: be patient. If you don't speak at least a little Spanish, there might be a few small misunderstandings -- but nothing that can't be resolved with a smile.

It exceeded our expectations! We had a limited time and they were so accommodating. They even gave us to-go cups for our margaritas when we had to leave. I had the jalapeno margarita and my friend had the passion fruit margarita. They were HUGE and so delish! We had the tableside guac, which was amazing! So fresh and the chips were so crunchy and delish. I had the tempura shrimp tostada and OMG was it spectacular. The shrimp was perfectly fried and the chipotle mayo, guac, slaw combo was perfection on the crunchy base. This would be a great thing to get to share! It was huge!
