Fresh oysters, various shrimp and seafood dishes, but also meat dishes. We tried all and it was all fresh and very good. Rustic atmosphere, good service. I will go back there for sure.

This is a typical family Mexican restaurant. The margaritas were tasty. There was a ton of jumbo shrimp on my shrimp fajitas.

Friends highly recommended this restaurant, although they hadn't dined there in 3 yrs. Food wasn't that good, and service very poor. There were 4 desserts offered, but only 2 available, and it was a Saturday night. The flan was good, but not worth $10.00. Certainly not worth the drive from Green Valley.

I had dinner here last night. A family runs this restaurant and the food tastes like authentic Mexican food. The salsa served with the chips was too spicy for me personally. The guacamole was delicious. I thought this place was vegetarian friendly but upon arrival there wasn't anything on the menu. I asked the waiter about making me a vegetarian dish. They made me a gigantic burrito that only contained veggies. It was ok but I could barely eat half of it. The highlight was the mango margarita.

Worst chips and salsa of any restaurant in Santa Cruz County. Many entrees are to hot for most people. Other entrees are extremely over salty. Complaints are not welcome nor discounts or refunds allowed for unedible entrees. Shrimp cocktails are not deveined and we found some shrimp shells and a piece of plastic was found in one.

We have eaten here before and haven't been disappointed. My son in law and I ordered the whole fish. They really know how to cook it, done but still moist. My wife had a delicious chicken enchiladas. Our granddaghter had a shrimp taco and a shrimp tostada, very good!

This restaurant is very small so it fills quickly. We went on a Saturday night, party of 3. There was live music which was nice, he was talented, but it was SO loud you can't have a normal table conversation. We never got drink or chip refills. Had to ask for napkins. It took quite some time for our food to come out after ordering. My food wasn't terrible but it wasn't flavorful for the price. There were definitely more peppers than (very dry) meat on my fajitas and the beans and rice had zero flavor. The flour tortillas were definitely the star of the show. Bf tried the bacon wrapped shrimp and they were AMAZING. The service was overall ok but not great.

Generally good place. Occasional hiccups. But all around never had any major issues.
