    We were craving something light and refreshing, and this was just what we needed. We visited on a Sunday, right when they opened. The inside is bright, clean, and has a cute vibe, with some Instagram-worthy spots for photos. Our server was super attentive, and the whole menu looks amazing! We were planning to order more, but we didn't realize how much food they serve... we barely finished half!

    Been following this place on IG since they opened a while back, seems very authentic so was very excited to visit. The lady that served us was so sweet and didn't speak English, but we were able to communicate well enough. Place inside is quite spacious, several tables and even a back drop of their restaurant name for photos. They were playing 90s/2000s pop music quite loudly, think usher lil Wayne etc - definitely an interesting music choice. We ordered the shrimp ceviche with mangoes, could definitely feed 4 people so we brought the leftovers home. It came with tostada shells and oddly enough a biscuit cracker thing. The mangoes were fairly green and not sweet, but they were quite generous with the portions and shrimp hiding at the bottom of the photo. At first it tasted quite bland but as you work your way through the spice notes started hitting, so definitely blend it up first. They served chips and salsa immediately upon seating, but beware if you ask for water they will give you bottle waters ($2 each). It's definitely a place for locals and for those that want authentic ceviche and other Mexican seafood dishes. Credit cards have 4% additional fee so bring cash if you can.

    amazing food portions, and our server was so sweet. we got the botana mixta, which can easily serve 3-4 people. the shrimp is delicious and it comes with tostadas! so happy with my meal and it is such a good deal for how much seafood we got.

    Los mariscos más frescos y toda la comida está bien buena. También venden productos sinaloenses como machaca, requesón, queso, jaztea, coricos, chamoy, atole de pinole

    Was a little dismayed at first based on the prices and the fact that they served sushi, but i was pleasantly surprised by how massive the portions are. We ordered the ceviche, and it was large enough for 3 people with tostadas and crackers. It had good flavor, but it became a lot to eat after a while. They did give free chips and salsa with a small kick. The dining space was filled with plenty of tables, the staff were very friendly, and we really enjoyed the vibe of the restaurant with fun decorations and music.

    Fui con altas expectativas porque me lo habian recomendado, el agua del coco estaba aseda. Quise decirles pero su servicio es pesimo jaja las meseras no te hacen caso. El tonicol no tenia gas, pero pues ni como reclamar porque solo te sirven el plato y ya no vuelven las meseras

    I suppose my expectations of this place were a bit high.... The place seemed a bit unorganized and also a bit smaller than expected. The food was good... not exceptional but good. However I did feel like it was a bit over priced. They also charge a fee for using credit cards.

    Ceviche tostado

    My partner and I ordered the shrimp tacos, marlin tacos and a ceviche tostada during our visit. Of the three, the ceviche tostada was the favorite, with an ample serving of ceviche and good flavor. However the shrimp tacos and marlin tacos were a bit disappointing, considering the price. (Shrimp -$15, Marlin - $18). Shrimp tacos were not bad, but the shrimp were quite dry and overall bland. Marlin tacos were super salty and just topped with two bruised slices of avocado. We thought the avocado creme that came with the tacos was the only part that made the tacos taste okay.

    Food and service was pretty good, a lot of character. It's nice they accept Apple Pay as well as the fact they serve Japanese-Mex style fusion food including their notable sushi.

    Absolutely recommend this place! I have heard about it for awhile and been wanting to try it out. After my normal spot was closed I finally decided to try this place out and I don't why I waited this long to try it. The food was extremely delicious. I think the prices are very reasonable and fair. The portions are of good size too. They also sale imported salsas and other goodies. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a friendly staff member, she explained the menu and even their daily specials. I took my food to go but would love to go back and dine in. The place looked clean and parking was a breeze. As we left an employee even gave us a sample of their dessert and he was very kind I wish I got their names. 10/10 authentic seafood place. Can't wait to go back again :)

    24k burrito was gas... It def wasn't a typical burrito! rice was replaced w tater tots but so yum…read more Loved the garlic prawn! Quesabirria was yummy! loved all the fillings. Not the absolute best one l've had but still good taquitos were delicious!!! Chicken inside was so tender Guac was yummy! Wish it was a bit chunkier but that's just personal preference. The chips were rly good. Horchata was def my fav drink! Sooo good and I feel like alot of places make it so grainy Service was fantastic and great open space.

    Summary: Flavorful, but HEAVY…read more Details: They just opened up a new branch in SF, but we wanted an excuse to hit up San Mateo, and Latin American is always a good enough excuse. While photos of their SF location suggest some seeing, this OG location is pretty much pickup/delivery only: a fairly literal hole in the wall, located along a random quiet street. Most folks would probably opt to take home or eat at one of the "nearby" parks, but we've gotten in the habit of just eating in the car, which... not so great for something as messy as birria lol. I'll say that for most folks, this would probably easily be more a 4 star spot, while for us, it's more a 2 star since we're unlikely to come back. That's not to say the food was bad: on the contrary, the flavors were quite good, and the consomme was less salty than some of the others we've tried. But their food is HEAVY. Not just the birria itself, but also the burrito we got, and heavier than other places we've been for some reason, with the birria sitting in a pool of oil soon after we picked it up. This probably isn't a deterrent for most people though, so take this as you will. Accessibility: Not too relevant since this is really just a pickup spot, with the pickup window being at the usual height you'd find elsewhere.
