We loved our first time experience at this place. We loved the location and the fact that you have nearby access to parking, the theatre is right in front. We had great service. We will definitely be coming back here again.

Love coming here. The service is always great. We always seem to get Pepe but he’s so nice and attentive so we don’t mind. The drinks are really good too both the alcoholic and nonalcoholic ones. My husband says their pina agua Fresca is the best he’s ever had. Plus they have vegan options that’s why we go, their vegan ceviche is chefs kiss! Plus they complimentary chips and salsa are amazing as well. I would definitely buy that salsa to always have at home.

Delicious food with down to earth staff, overall 10/10. We were served by a bartender, he effectively multitasked even when it started to get a bit more busy. Overachieving service. Food was just so good. Expensive but worth it. Come after you get your paycheck lol.

First time here, big disappointment. Customer service was great, and the ceviche plate was fresh and delicious. Don't recommend the chips and salsa; it's not fresh. The drinks are the worst, absolutely no alcohol on them, and water down. The Paloma tastes like lemonade with tajin, and my old-fashioned taste like apple juice; overpriced drinks with zero alcohol, not cool.

Service was good. Salsa was no great. No flavor and not fresh. We ordered Ceviche & it was DELICIOUS. Drinks- we ordered a Paloma and old fashion and both drinks had no alcohol and watered down. Overpriced cheap drinks. We will not be returning.

If you check in On Yelp , you get a free agua Fresca. I have never thought about visiting this establishment mainly because it's always so damn loud every time I pass by it.I'm running out of places to eat around here. Rdawg took me for a bite after his shift was over so around 3:30 PM. It is a weekday so it was nice and empty.Servers were very nice. The chicharrones de pulpo tacos sounded like a good idea, but I did not realize that it was a hard shell taco. I mean a really hard taco shell, and then the crunchiness of the chicharrón was way too much for me. I bit the inside of my cheek, but mainly because I was so hungry and I was eating too fast. Rdawg liked my tacos better than his shrimp tacos. Make sure to ask for spicy sauce. I think it was a habanero It was really good.I added the xecora fried rice along with the shrimp ceviche because like I said, I was so hungry!Those two items were pretty good.Will I come back, yes I will come back I wanna try their breakfast.Guava French toast sounds delicious.

Food was pretty average, drinks were good. I wasn't impressed though, I live near by and won't be going back.

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times and I can honestly say that I really enjoy their food, drinks, and taste in music. I really enjoy their XECORA Shrimp, Pastor sliders, and the Lilikoi Ceviche. The HAPPY HOUR margaritas (especially the lime flavor) are delicious; tasted fresh; made with real limes.If you want to try elevated Mexican/Seafood, you have to try XECORA.

Everything from the salsa to the desserts were superb. I would highly recommend the shrimp tacos gobernadores and carne asada with scallops.

I have always wanted to come here and I came here on a random Thursday shortly about an hour before it closed. I got a chance to play heads or tails with the owner and best believe I won. I got a discount on my food. This place has a great vibes and the food was good. The only thing I was hoping was that there would be a little bit more food nevertheless, I will be back.

Very cute spot. With good atmosphere. I only tried one dish it was one of the ceviches on the menu.. It was good. The live music was what got me to stay. I love live entertainment.
