We went as a group of 3, we shared the 3 plates: aguachiles poca madre, aguachiles verdes and camarones a la diabla. Spice was on point, flavor wonderful, freshness was pristine. All three of us ate comfortably with the server providing great input when we had questions about the menu read more

I'm so glad I found this place. I've gone four days straight. The tostada ejecutiva is my go-to but If you have someone to share the molcajete azteca with do it, the chicken and the cheese and the nopales & the meat... EVERYTHING Ive tried has been delicious. They have really good agua minerales preparadas! I've also tried the mejillones which were very good. The service was fast & very family friendly. The game was on one tv and cartoons on the other so it was actually perfect for my family read more

Very dishonorable. Did not honor my gift card. I got a gift card for 150$ last Christmas. I dined once and spent around 85$. Two months ago i went in to dine, they declined to honor it saying their system was down. Ericka the waitress took a picture of my gift card and phone number and promised to call back with validity and value of the card. 2 weeks later I called her and she said the manager is not in and will get back. 2 more weeks later I called and she said Manager works only weekends and will get back to me. 2 more weeks, I called and she said they are checking the transaction on my card. Finally I went in last Friday and stood by the front counter asking same questions on the value of the card. After 15 minutes 'Anthony' the manager comes on the line and says he is checking the transactions on the card. I told him I had enough BS and am reporting to Better Business Bureau. Very disappointing. read more

Took my mom there for lunch. It was her first time. Very friendly service and fast. Clean place. Loved the free chips, salsa, and ceviche. My mom said food was amazing, and I agree. Will be going there again soon! We are from Nayarit. So reminded us of our homes amazing mariscos. read more

We came here for lunch it was good but VERY EXPENSIVE. They give you a little basket of tortilla chips and two little bowls of salsa free while you decide what to order. My issue was when we asked for a second basket of chips the waitress just brought it to us. Note she never said oh by the way the second basket will cost you. When we got our bill we were charged for the chips. It's question the matter the waitress seemed to ignore my complaint and said there's nothing he can do. Let me tell you it's not that we couldn't pay for the charge it's the principle of it all let me know maybe I would have said never mind I don't want them. I will not be going back. Overpriced food! read more

the food was very fresh and delicious, i come with my family all the time and I will keep coming back.

Great seafood!! We came her and it was busy!! But they seated us quick!! This place knows how to serve seafood!! We would eat her again!!! read more

Not exactly a place I'd recommend but the ambiance is nice on a weekday. The food is okay, well seasoned and somewhat fresh (the octopus was way too tough and rubbery to eat) however they don't seem to be doing a good job of keeping the dishes clean, we had bits of food and questionable items stuck to our plates and floating in our drinks. read more

We were in the area for the Salem Ironman and ordered some take out before we got to our hotel. We put in our usual order that we have for Nayarit style places. Langostinos, fish ceviche. And shrimp empanadas. What we ordered was good, and we really enjoyed it after our road trip up from Sacramento. The masa from the shrimp empanadas were a bit thicker than we're used to, but the flavor was there. The tostadas they served with the ceviche tasted like they were fried up in pork lard and thin, for me it was not an issue, but it could be for those that don't want to eat pork. The tostadas were Jalisco style, I believe. The area where the restaurant is located in has seen better days, but the food was good, flavorful and filling. Make sure you check for limes and that they give you that green salsa they make. You don't want to miss out on that. Goes really well with their food. read more

First time, and we tried the "Molcajete Cora." Beautiful presentation, too much for us to eat. More seafood than we could imagine. Amazing chips, salsa and Ceviche. Very happy to see the TouchTunes jukebox, and it looks like live bands play here. We will be back! read more

I love good Mexican food and have a few regular haunts. I was traveling on business and saw a restaurant in a strip mall and decided it was dinner time. They weren't busy since it was about 8 PM on a Thursday. I was seated and immediately brought the usual chips and salsa. Much to my delight, I was also given a bowl of limes and a bowl of crab ceviche. I'm not normally a ceviche fan, but this was SO good. When my food came, I was already getting full. I had carne asada with corn tortillas - five of them! It was also really good and came with the normal beans and rice, plus a grilled jalapeno and small onion. It also came with enough guacamole to constitute a paid side in most restaurants. I had horchata to drink and it tasted homemade and came with free refills. My sole disappointment is that I live hundreds of miles from here! I do know when I come back to Salem, OR, I have a new place to eat. Oh, and not to forget the staff, they were very nice, and took good care of me! read more

Slow. Dirty. Menus were sticky. The food, eh. My daughters fries in the kids meal tasted like old oil.

My parents went here with my cousins after a rodeo near by. My mother asked for water for she was thirsty obviously and did not want to drink anything else. The server said "We don't have any water left. We are out of water". What?! Since when does tap water run out? My mom is a very understanding person and of course did not want to question the server but if these are the type of servers you have, I suggest you either train them better or get a better water system because telling someone your out of water is unacceptable. *I'm now aware that there was an issue with the Salem water system, however it is still unacceptable that that server did not explain the situation to my mom. read more

Friendly staff, authentic Ceviche. Great prices. Would definently recommend and will visit again. Delicious chips and salsa too!

Always a fun place to eat at. The service was pretty average but even tho they were really busy they always came over to our table to ask us how things were going and if we needed anything. Ambiance is always nice but if your trying to go with family don't go on Friday and Saturday nights it gets pretty rowdy. Food is always great can't go wrong there read more

My first time visiting this restaurant. I had the el Diablo shrimp dinner. Very good! Great flavor, spicy but not too much heat. Attentive staff. Comfortable seating. I'll be returning to try other dishes. read more

Mexican restaurant geared to seafood lovers only. The chips are thick and and hold up massive amounts of ceviche loading, guacamole dipping goodness. Service was fast, server was a little on the salty side. I ordered coctale de Cameron- it was delicious and an abundance of shrimp in it. Will be back read more

I LOVED this place so much, only select things on the menu are good but the ones that are, amazing!! Customer service, not so good. I come here alot with family, and recently friends. The staff ignores you on purpose, they disrespect you and they don't care because they just work there and don't own the place. I used to love this place so much and for his much money they were making off of us playing music, buying drinks, and always ordering lots of food and leaving amazing tip! Just wasn't fair for them to treat us like that when we have never treated them like that. I'm very disappointed and will only be going to the Portland location now. The waiters name who disrespected was named Angelica. read more

The best of the best. I eat there all the time. Order the molcajete kora. One of my favorite plates.

I'm not one to leave a bad review but I really feel like this restaurant needs to fix itself! I used to come here all the time. I got a few errors every now and then but from the experience we got the last 3 times I went, I don't think I'll be going back. The food lacks flavor and the plates are not as good as they used to be. We ordered ceviche that was very undercooked with no flavor. The Camarones Zarandeados used to be my favorite but now they just taste like shrimp and no other flavor just solid shrimp. The service isn't good prices are too expensive for what they're cooking you. I wouldn't recommend coming here and eating your money on food that doesn't taste good. read more

We first noticed this place yesterday, Mother's Day, we happened to drive by and saw a huge line of Hispanic families out front waiting to get in. That put it onto our radar that it must be good. Today, we were driving through Salem and wanted dinner, so we remembered this place and thought we'd give it a shot. Glad we did, it was excellent! The menu is large and kind of confusing, but our server was really great about explaining stuff and answering our many questions. The cuisine is from Nayarit, on the SW coast of Mexico, and very seafood centric. There is a page of the menu devoted to beef and chicken dishes, but it seems like the seafood is the reason to go here. There are many types of ceviche on the menu, and a selection of shrimp and octopus coctails. Everything looked really good. After much debate, we ordered 2 main dishes, the Mocajete, kind of a spicy Mexican version of Cioppino with lots of seafood, and another special, a foil-wrapped tilapia fillet, the name of which escapes me at the moment. While waiting for dinner, we munched on chips and 2 kinds of salsa, one a very smoky, spicy red, the other a crisp, crunchy mild salsa with a bit of crab meat. Both were very good. The Mocajete was fabulous! A huge earthenware bowl bursting with crab legs, shrimp, mussels, scallops, fish fillets and octopus in a spicy broth. The foil-wrapped fillet was excellent as well, though much milder, with onions, mushrooms and peppers, a bit of cheese and a light sauce over the fillet. Very flavorful, and the veggies were still crunchy and not overcooked. Both portions were enormous, we took over half of each home, even after stuffing ourselves completely. The food was not cheap, entrees ranging from about $15-$25, but the quality and portions were well worth it. read more

Second visit to this restaurant. First time, the fish was overcooked. This time I ordered camarones in garlic sauce. They were rubbery and way overcooked. The sauce was tasty but at the price, it would have been nice to have tender shrimp. My husband's fish was also a bit overcooked but again, with a delicious sauce. It's a huge place, kind of cavernous. The staff are friendly and the service is decent. read more

So I've been told this place has decent food,so I make a call @ 8:30pm to place a pick up order and the not so polite women tells me shops closed when she just told me they close at 9.if u close at 9 that means orders can b placed up until 9.not oh we close at 9 but we call the shots on when the grill is shut down.Having workers that care more to go home then to have satisfied customers is a step towards bad business.lost a few customers today and the woman's attitude has made me not ever wanna bother with this place of food read more

This place has super bad costumer service the ladies only care for the men because they want good tips. We waited 30 minutes just to be served even though the place was empty. There were only three table and all with men. The food was good but bad service. STEP UP. read more

Saw the place and thought the front looked good, so we decided to check it out. The main courses were pretty good, but the beans and rice were honestly, the worst I've ever tasted. The beans didn't even taste like beans. But like I said, the main courses were good. I ordered of the house specials menu, my partner got the fajitas. However, we could have used more veggies with our food. Some lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole would have been nice to go with his fajitas. Also, the salsa we got with our chips was delicious, but the waitress didn't know what it was made from aside from the basics. read more

This is one of my favorite places to have Mexican food. The steak fajitas are really, really good and I like the shrimp cocktail. They give you a smokey salsa, chips and a seafood dip when you sit down. The service is always very good. I like the Mariachi music. read more
