P.S. make sure you have pesos as they don't take credit card! Right when we walked in, Mario was super welcoming and accommodating. We wanted to get a whole fried fish and were told that they usually have sea bass or red snapper but the sea bass was reserved for later. We got the sea bass and then an octopus tostada to share as an app. The octopus tostada came out quickly and was a delicious and fresh way to start the meal. We waited about 20 min for the fish to come and it was definitely worth the wait. The red snapper was plenty for us to share and the meat was perfectly tender with crispy skin and a ton of fried garlic. It was served with coconut rice (slightly sweet) and salad which rounded out the meal. The best part of our experience just definitely how kind Mario was. My boyfriend wanted orange juice but we heard they didn't have it but halfway through the meal, Mario bought orange juice to the store and gave us a complimentary glass. As we were walking out, we saw a couple of people drinking a green juice and asked what it was and Mario gave us a glass to taste. It was cucumber water and so so good. Definitely recommend you try it if you come!

In a little over three hours with a knowledgeable expat guide, Jamie W and I got to patronize five locally popular establishments with a small group of fellow curious tourists. This was our first spot, a fresh seafood taqueria with a nice rooftop. That meant climbing up some awfully creaky steps. As the sun was setting, we started our evening with a delicious codfish taquito festooned with shredded cabbage, chopped tomato, and sour cream (Photo 3). The ideal coupling came with the crisp, honey-flavored Allende Agave Lager (Photo 2). It was already time for the next cantina. FOOD / BEER - 4 stars...the fish taco was quite fresh, the beer made a nice no-frills pairing AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...the rooftop was a nice touch, the stairs not so much SERVICE - 4 stars...very stealth but efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...a nice start to our Tacos and Tequila evening RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

It was a warmer evening that night and without being asked they brought over multiple fans to keep our group comfortable. (It was very appreciated) Someone ordered a mixed ceviche for the table that I cannot believe how amazing it was. The taste had almost an Asian flare to it which was phenomenal. I'm glad I ended up tasting because i had already ordered ceviche for my entree, but a different one. The shared ceviche we had as an appetizer far surpassed the one I ate for my entree. Don't get me wrong mine was delicious as well. I heard amazing things about everyone else's entree choices as well. I'd love to come back for the food the ambience and the service, highly recommend!

The menu features a variety of atypical seafood tacos and tostadas, including octopus and smoked fish, which immediately caught my attention. I ended up ordering the Pescado al Pastor taco, which turned out to be a great choice. The chopped fish was marinated in al pastor seasoning and topped with pineapple, onion, and cilantro, with a lime wedge on the side. The combination of flavors was vibrant and very tasty. We also tried the octopus, which was excellent. I'm a bit of a sucker for octopus when it's prepared well, and this one definitely delivered. The ceviche blanco tostada was another highlight--a generous pile of diced fish with tomato, onion, and lime juice that tasted incredibly fresh and bright. The hibiscus margaritas were delicious and refreshing, and I would highly recommend them--especially if you're planning to walk to the restaurant. The restaurant sits up a fairly steep climb from the Parque Benito Juárez area, so it can be a bit of a trek. Fortunately, we were dropped off and picked up by our driver. As for service, we had no issues at all. Our server was attentive and pleasant, though I do recognize that some other reviewers have mentioned inconsistent service. Our experience was positive, but it may vary depending on the day.
