So far the shrimp cocktail is my all time favorite as this is my third time ordering it. I…read moreseriously think the flavor is perfection, especially from this region in Mexico, they have nailed it to perfection for sure. I have tasted their pineapple stuffed with seafood concoction and its good of course, but here I am for the third time ordering a shrimp cocktail to go. Can't help it, its flavorful and packed with big shrimp, not those tiny crustaceans that you see in salad either, I'm talking about shrimp as big as your head. But here goes the whomp whoomp whoomp part: I specifically asked for it not to be spicy as my mom is allergic, and what happened? When I got the cocktail home we were so excited to eat. But both of our cocktails had heat and my mom absolutely couldn't eat it. I didn't bother calling them because I was too upset, but ill let the review speak for itself. But I digress! I like also that they have indoor safety dining, and they do take it seriously so that's what I look for in the newest inside dining thanks to Covid-19. Its a must to be safe and although I took it to go, it nice to know that I can actually come here for Indoor dining and not fear for my health.

The piña colada was also good, just wish it would've been more piña colada than ice Our waitress was very attentive, courteous, and obliging. In regard to the ambience, it was more cozy and could've used some background music or them actually turning on the tv they have set up but the food makes up for it. Would I go there again? Yes.

Cash or card.....Limited space inside......Straightforward. You can wait in your car, while they perpare your order. The large picture windows allow you to see inside, so you'll have an idea when you order is ready. Although they didn't have jumbo shrimp at this location, they did at other locations.......Did I mention they have 4 locations? I opted for the "Chicago Style" shrimp, which i'm told is large shrimp with garlic breading. Served by weight, cooked to order and served in an open wax paper bag for crunchiness.......The shrimp were delicious. Perfectly cooked and the sesoning was light. I prefer cocktail sauce and hot sauce. These sauces were not homemade but good just the same........The servings for the sauces matched the shrimp size.......Large......I went back the next day...Overall, a great first time customer experience.

Our entrees were delicious with generous portions of coleslaw and a salad as my sides. Most seafood places give you fries, from a frozen bag; in my opinion this coleslaw is wayyy better.
