Food and prices have gone downhill (been eating here for 30 years). $18 for chicken tortilla soup? $5 for a "street" taco? $7 for rice and beans? Yikes. The food and atmosphere are better at the park location, but I suggest any random taco truck first.

Not enough servers for the number of people being seated. The server showed up just to take the order, deliver the food, and never stop again. Busboy/assistant had to jump in to take care of the rest. Including to bring the check to me

Pencil Azul in Harbor Bay now has beautiful outdoor seating overlooking the water. One of our sodas was served in a cracked glass, but was quickly replaced when brought to server's attention. The super famoso burrito was enough for two to share.

Everything was great. The environment outside of the restaurant smelled because of the bay, but everything inside was great.

Gave it 3 shots since I live closeby. First time, service was basically non existent. Second time service was good (I think just that waitress was good), third time service was basically non existent. Food is good.. maybe just get takeout. I don’t want to try again because I still tip even if service is bad. But I was basically serving myself.
