    Very good tacos especially the fresh fish tacos. Friendly welcoming service. Excellent location with a view. Outdoor and indoor seating. Place seems new. Any item can be made into a salad or burrito.

    Great location! The tacos were good as well as the burrito. Guacamole could use a little more flavor, other than that we were happy.

    This food doesn't compare with traditional Mexican food, and the service was subpar.

    Never had anything bad from here. Birria tacos were excellent along with the Yakisoba. The carne asada tacos are also amazing.

We met the Water Taxi around 5PM and started the trip across the bay..it's about 20 minutes and truly beautiful! The boat pulls up on the beach and you walk up a small trail to the restaurant. Now we had about 20 diners on the boat so this joint went from having one guy at the bar to like 6-7 tables all of the sudden.. they couldn't handle it at all. We waited about 20 minutes for drinks that just sat at the bar. Appetizers were ready before we got drinks. I know it's ALASKA but this just seemed off for a place of this caliber.. no manager on the floor or anything? Started with some appetizers that looked amazing but fell flat on execution, very little flavor at all. We all got entrees and again everything sounded great in description but had very little flavor; Halibut was barely luke warm but was plated beautifully! We tried all kinds of drinks and they were fine and they had a great whiskey I really liked. Dessert offerings were pretty weak so we just tried a Chocolate Mousse that was not good at all with some Espresso's that were served warm not hot? To be honest the place operated like they had just opened for business.. the waiter never asked how anything was just running thru the motions! Very pricey but the restaurant and location is absolutely beautiful. Talk Later

However, prices and portion sizes are craaaazy. We all left hungry after spending $150'pp. seriously. Gotta do better if you have a $65 pasta. Zero excuse. Year before they had a MUCH better menu with higher end choices and also dishes that they could handle like burgers and fish and chips well executed.

    Don Jose's - Refried beans, rice, two ground beef, and one birra, enchiladas.  It was only one dollar more to get the three enchiladas instead of two.

Sooooo....It's okay. Chips and salsa are NOT complimentary. A basket of chips and two bowls of salsa wasn't terribly expensive at 4.50. But hot salsa wasn't available when we went. So they gave us two milds. The salsa tasted a little weird. I couldn't tell if an ingredient was missing or if there was some other funky aspect. Either way, I didn't eat many chips (which made the paying for it seem a little more frustrating). The queso appetizer was delicious. Great serving size and great flavor. Everyone at the table agreed and there wasn't any left at the end. Beer selection included a couple local craft beers and plenty of bottles. I was very happy with the Pacifico and lime I received. Service was friendly. So we're the couple on a date at the table next to us. They recommended food and drinks and told us all about places to visit in town. Apparently there are meaderys (meaderies?)open on town. Cool news! Overall, I was largely underwhelmed by the food and slightly chagrined by the chips and salsa cost.

Further on down the road I was attacked by a crow 4 times and I'm sure all you people driving by Safeway that saw that had a good laugh. (I'm laughing now but I wasn't then) Then I called a Taxi and yes someone stole my taxi. Finally got home and took my truck to Don Jose's for Taco Tuesday (5 tacos 10 bucks) yum! Owners bought me a nice shot of tequila! So nice!
