    For what me and my family were looking for it was perfect. Came in on Saturday evening and it was a little busy. Amazing service from start to finish. Love their aquatic decor. My kids loved the live lobster tank. Amazing happy hour specials. My michelada was great and don't sleep on their blended margaritas. The fish and shrimp ceviche was solid. Fresh and tasty. My children shared a deep fried shrimp plate. We also shared a salmon and shrimp plate. Honestly no complaints. Fresh,hot and full of flavor. We ended having a couple drinks at their patio. It was karaoke night and the ambience was amazing. Over all a great experience for us.

    Great experience and great service. Been coming here a few years now. I always come back for the bean dip. Margaritas are tasty and a great price during happy hour. Definitely a great place to enjoy drinks and good food with family and friends

    Generous draft Modelo Negro Happy Hour special
    Val G.

    Came here because I had seen that they have a Happy Hour that goes pretty late. I was in the area so I stopped by. The HH is for drinks only: beers and margaritas but they did give me chips and salsa for free. The salsa was good but they gave me a cup of their refried beans and they were very good. At $7 for huge mug, the Modelo Negro was a great deal. I wish they had some light food options but the chips and salsa was a good offering. The place is huge and nicely decorated. I had been here years ago for a Groupon coupon I had purchased. I remember walking in and it was so packed that I was like "what's going on" and then I was reminded that it was Cinco de Mayo. Would love to come back and try the food.

    This place is amazing!! March 28 2025 12 noon I ordered a 7 mares caldo, hands down it was definitely the best caldo I have ever had. It was delicious!! The restaurant is clean, and the service was outstanding, even though they were really busy they were very curious and polite. Kitchen, extremely efficient as I did not wait long for my food and best of all it was piping hot and they don't scimp on the seafood, it was loaded. But the service was the highlight of my visit/meal. Thank you for a great experience. I definitely recommend this place, and I will be back!! RS

They have wings, sliders etc. With each meal you get a desert! friend oreo cookie and side of vanilla ice cream. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant has tables and high bar tables along with a sitting bar. If you opt to sit at a higher table you may get sat sooner. We came one time and waited about an hour to be seated. They have a bunch of TV's to watch the games and beers on tap. I took a star off for the parking, it's always packed due to the other businesses in the same shopping center. Also the service is kind of slow, they are always busy so I get it but I feel like maybe they need to hire another person or two to help.

Service: About a 3.0-2.5. 2 servers, nice, but for being such a small place, the service was slow. I get it, they are young and I am sure the owners get comfortable with the staus quo. If they trained them, or hired so.eone with a more sense of urgency, this food joint would rock! Ambiance: A small, strip-mall style hole in the wall. We gave this local place a try and it was woth the trip. Very common 4 top tables with 2 pull-chairs and booth seating along the walls. Over all, we would go back. The pricing was par for the industry, wife and I had the above listed items and fountain drinks. The total was $85. This location is above average due to the freshness of their seafood. Oh, and they brought out dessert with our check. Ice cream and a bińet.

    I finally tried this place and unfortunately I was disappointed…read more When I went in, the servers were all in the Kitchen. Then a server came out and seated us. We ordered after 10 minutes. I was very hungry and thought having tacos and ceviche and shrimp cocktail should be something quick. But the order took more than 20 mins to come out and I had to follow up with them. There were only 3 tables at the time and each table is just with one or two customers. There two servers total, but it seems the person who ordered for me also went to cook. I am not sure if this is one time situation where the Chef is not working that day? Because it honestly took too long to bring the food out when it's not busy at all. The most disappointing part is that after all this waiting, the tacos were toooo salty. We ordered grilled fish and grilled shrimp tacos. There were these blacks stuff sticking to the fish and shrimp, it's those black stuff that you get from burnt pan. The shrimp cocktail and ceviche was okay. Nothing amazing but I just wondered why couldn't they bring these two dish out first because it should be something already premade?? I would not come back after this experience. But I would suspect the management more the employees working there because I think they need more training. I also wonder if it's a substitute Chef or a new Chef was working that day?? This happened on Saturday the Thanksgiving weekend. Their ambiance is cute but feels old.
