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.

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!
