    Aguachile 1 dozen
    Myrna V.

    The Aguachile and Michelada were delicious. I just didn't like that the tail of the shrimp came with the skin.

    Wet burrito
    Michelle H.

    Found out about this place through some recommendations online! I was excited to come by, they close at midnight which isn't bad at all for Mexican restaurants, especially one that offers more than tacos, burritos, nachos, or asada fries. Even before walking in, the music and karaoke can be heard from outside the restaurant, so best believe inside is extremely loud! I didn't mind it, it felt as if I was at a family party. The DJ was great, with high energy and a good playlist. The food was great, it took a while because it's made to order. So it's fresh and hot! I ordered a green wet burrito with al pastor, it exceeded my expectations in flavor, I wish it was just a bit more drenched in the salsa. The salsa was bomb!! My friend ordered a torta de al pastor and that was also really good! The portions were filling. However I deducted a star because I felt like the service was a bit lackluster. Granted, we arrived an hour and a half before closing, but the place was practically packed! I'm not sure if it's because we didn't order any alcohol or real drinks, we only ordered water with our meals However, the server had a deadpan look on her face anytime she approached the table. Restaurant work is tough, I get it, and I don't expect a constant smile from ear to ear, but at least some emotion that signals that we are being understood and taken care of. I'd even say thank you but wouldn't hear anything in response. At one point we asked for more chips and salsa, and the server took the dishes away but didn't bring anything back. When my friend requested a refill on the water, our server never came to fill it up. Instead he asked another server for a refill... twice.. before he got that water. I only took 1 star because I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt. We came late, it was loud, and there was a large party being hosted which I'm sure used up their attention as well. If I ever return I hope that the service has a positive turn around because I really do want to try their other foods.

    Chilaquiles rojos

    I love that chilaquiles so far is the best molcajete salsa Was The Best For the chilaquiles. My boyfriend Love The red salsa he was very surprised that they were very delicious. He wasn't too sure about trying the new place but we both had a great time. Anna was her server and she was great Definitely recommend this place. I have an order. Moca had to go and some mojarra frita to go. Everything was amazing.

    Tostada de Aguachile Verde
    Ana R.

    Just came here with my wife to have brunch and the food was amazing! The Tostada de Aguachile was and Lohaina provided amazing customer service! We will definitely be back!!!

    This is the shrimp cocktails, it's actually perfect!!
    Irma Patricia B.

    This is my third visit here, each time we come we have an even better time. Food and service are stellar here. Next time we will be sharing a molcajete and enjoying the karaoke. Waitresses here are lovely and treat us well, love it here!

    Asada Torta

    The location entrance faces the street but there is a private parking lot in the back. From the moment we walked in we could hear the music playing over the TV screens that were showing different games. The staff sat us down immediately and provided us with a menu. The menu had a variety of meat and seafood items. Other than the appetizers the majority of the menu items were $15+. The drink options are beer, canned/bottled drinks, and agua Fresca. The wait time for the food was a bit long which made us fill up on the chips and drinks. When the food arrived the portion sizes were huge. Both of our meals had a high amount of salt which made the meals hard to eat. I had to use the table salsa to help with the saltiness of the food but it just didn't help. The chips were good but the salsa was on the watery side so it didn't carry any spice. I would say the place gave better service than the quality of the food.

    Molcajete
    Mayravalle

    Me encantó la comida y la ambiente las meseras muy amable y gran servicio . Hasta mi mamá le gustó aquí mucho aquí me encantó para celebrar la boda de mi Ermano . Hasta me gustó el molcajete se lo voy a recomendar a mi patrona para cumpleaños también.

    Chilaquiles with papas and eggs
    Virginia D.

    Good vibe here. Music is a little loud for a Sunday morning. Had chilaquiles with eggs and potatoes. The potatoes had more peppers than potatoes. It was ok. Corn tortillas were homemade. Beans Delicious! Delicious cafe de Olla. Good Customer Service is good

    Molcajete
    Jacquelyn R.

    The Molcajete is bomb.com enough for 3 people , only thing is they only give you 2 tortillas, should come with at least 3/4, we Hispanic lol come on now. Beer is always pretty warm. Service is good and it's a good place to sing if that's your thing .

    The sope, after I cut it up. Delicious
    Janette M.

    Service was great. I had a bean and cheese sope, al pastor taco and chocoflan to go. The sope was bigger than average. It tasted freshly made, thin and crispy. The al pastor taco was packed with meat and it was delicious. The chocoflan, I had one bite and than my son devoured it. Definitely recommend this place.

I wonder if they cooked this Saturday night and served it Sunday morning? It's possible? This dish was $35 dollars. I've had better shrimp at a taco restaurant for $3. Very disappointed!!! My friend had a good fish dish and she ate it all. The service was good and the place is nice.

The Cajun seafood is excellent and, in our opinion, better than other similar places like The Kickin' Crab. What really sets their seafood apart is the basil leaves they add to the sauce.

Portions are good, prices are fair, and the food has been consistently delicious. Definitely one of our favorite spots for Cajun seafood!

The sauce was delicious, offering a Thai inspired flavor to this classic viet cajun style meal. The added basil was a very fragrant addition. California crawfish season is just about to begin, but I don't know if the restaurant started using fresh live crawfish yet because the majority of the crawfish shells were soft and mushy, although thr meat was still good. Based on the sauce alone, I'd definitely try again in a month or two to see if the quality of the crawfish improves as we get deeper into crawfish season. The clams were hit and miss as some were great while others were handy. Generous amounts of sausages and potatoes were given for a good price. My wife and I were able to finish the add ons in one sitting. I'd give the restaurant and overall 3.5 right now, 5 for the sauce alone and a bit lower than a 3 for the seafood quality. We still enjoyed the meal, but quality could definitely be better.

Very distrubed how i was talked about with your employees... and very disturbed how your chef tells me what do you want me to do? I can give you something else from the menu but im not going to give you the same meal? I paid a lot of money for this. Unacceptable. I should have been offered the pasta (i ordered with the sauce)
