Two words: HAPPY HOUR ?
Two more: TABLESIDE GUACAMOLE ?
the ribeye is always my favorite but that surf and turf burrito was HUGE and crazy-delicious! WE LOVE THIS PLACE ?
July 2024
This place is gorgeous and the food taste amazing. It’s seasoned very well and cooked to perfection. I think the service was lacking a bit because they were closing soon so that’s understandable. The bacon wrapped shrimp is a must.

Parking: It’s in a mall so lots of parking
June 2024
Came here with my family for lunch/early dinner and was disappointed with the service & food. We ordered two aguachiles and both contained shrimp with unclean veins/tracts. Kinda gross. I’ve worked in the service industry so I personally feel that prepping & cleaning food is very important. Especially with seafood. The manager did give us 50% off the two plates to remedy the situation. We also ordered the cielo, mar y tierra and the steak & shrimp were super dry....
