“ What a wonderful spot. The food is very good. I cannot recommend the carpaccio enough. The oysters came with “black sauce”, it is amazing. The only thing I wished these reviews had was the English version of the menu. So I am adding that. Prices on the English menu are not up to date with the regular menu and we were advised that when it was given to us. ”
“ Our waiter Victor was so attentive and knowledgeable of the food and drink menu. I came for the first time with my mom and sister. I ordered the Tacos Chapultepec (Pescada al pastor). Honestly as someone who doesn't eat pork this was a good alternative for pastor tacos. So I appreciate whoever it was that added it to the menu. Victor did an excellent job. He enlightened me on how the bar makes their cucumber juice in house which is why the cucumber margarita I had was so refreshing and natural. The best margarita I ever had. I can't give good feedback on the Pineapple Jalapeno mezcalito, just because I am not a mezcal fan myself and it was for my sister . The pineapple garnish was so good though which Victor was kind enough to share that it was made in house. The pineapple takes 8 hours to fully dry. Overall a great experience. Thank you Victor and to the staff ”
“ The owner and his staff are extremely nice, and customer service is top tier! the food has such a delicious mix of seafood & meats! Would highly recommend you try! ”
“ We split the surf & turf. Seasoning on the shrimp, which was butterflied, the best we ever tasted. Steak was flavorful. If you want, medium rare, I suggest you order rare. Ours came quite done. The installation of ceiling tiles would help with the sound. ”
“ Loved the food, atmosphere, and service!! The octopus taco was really good that we ordered a second one haha Also the beans and salsa provided before the meal is really tasty :) All the seafood in ceviche and the tuna tostado were super fresh and a lot of flesh. I personally liked the tostado over taco cuz of the tortilla. Next time we are gonna order the grilled octopus cuz the octopus is just so good!! ”
“ First timers as we saw it in TikTok, didn’t disappoint. Great tasting food. Victor our waiter went over the menu made recommendations and wow what an experience. Everything about this location was good. Happy staff , clean tables and very family oriented. defiantly will be back soon. Easy 5 star all the way around. ”
“ Came to try this on a recommendation from a friend, so glad we drove 2.5hrs because it was worth every penny. Alexis our waiter was attentive and on his toes. We lacked for nothing. They set us up with plenty of napkins, limes, refried beans, topos, and salsa with a glass of broth on the side. Next we ordered a ceviche Tropical. Mixed Shrimp and Fish. So fresh and delicious. We opted for the 32oz and the portion was enormous. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi half order which was larger than any pasta dish I’ve ever had, the Shrimp breading was seasoned and battered to perfection. Camarones Momias we’re also a big hit! Fried to a golden brown with a savory white rice. Last we tried the Tostada Ensenada de Pulpo. It had a fantastic cilantro crema and the pulpo was overflowing on the tostada. This restaurant definitely ranks at the very top of my favorites list! ”
“ WOW! My husband and I came on a Sunday afternoon and let me tell you, that was the best seafood we have ever had. My husband got the Coctel De Camaron and the Filete de Pescado enchipotlado and I got the Mahi Mahi Filete Al Grill. For dessert we tried the Pay de mango, it was perfect not too sweet and the perfect amount for 2 . Everything we got was a 10/10, the atmosphere was calm and everyone who worked there was extremely nice as well! I HIGHLY recommend you come try this place, we left super happy and will definitely be coming back. ”
