Super loud. A lot of activities that were questionable. The drinks weren't great. The food was not too bad. They have live band.

The music is so loud you can't hear yourself think. But the food is so worth it. 2 or 3 tacos, Kaliman will fill you up. The molcahete is really good. Camarones Costa Azul is worth trying. Definitely coming back.But i'm going to have a challenge for the mariachi's next time. Something Vintage

ā­ļø If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. Hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurant.

I placed a simple order for ceviche — and they completely messed it up. No big deal, mistakes happen, right? But what followed was an absolute circus of unprofessionalism, rudeness, and outright disrespect.

When I called to let them know the order was wrong, a staff member named Daisy told me over the phone not to worry — we could KEEP the incorrect ceviche since it had already been touched, and they had our correct order waiting. Seems reasonable.

But when we arrived, the story flipped faster than a tortilla on a hot comal. Suddenly, we were being told by a rude woman at the counter that we had to return the ceviche we were previously told to keep — the same one we had already sampled. Excuse me, what? You want us to bring back food that’s already been eaten? Gross and unsanitary!

Then came the gaslighting. They flat-out refused to give us our correct order. No refund. No solution. Just attitude. As if we were the problem.

To make things worse, I’m Hispanic — but I initially spoke to them in English out of habit. They must’ve assumed I didn’t speak Spanish, because the manager, Yennica, turned to another staff member and said — clear as day —

ā€œDĆ©jalo en paz, a lo mejor se aburre y se va.ā€
(ā€œLeave him alone, maybe he’ll get bored and leave.ā€)

🤯 Are you kidding me?! I was stunned. This wasn’t just bad service — it was deceptive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. You don’t treat customers this way — especially when YOU made the mistake.

If you care about good food, respectful service, and basic human decency, stay far away from this place. They clearly don’t value their customers — and they definitely don’t know how to run a business.

Zero stars. And if you’re reading this, Yennica — I didn’t get bored. I got louder. šŸ‘‹

Food was delicious, clean, nice looking restaurant. I can’t say the same about the location of restaurant. Waitress was attentive great atmosphere. I felt the food was priced right. I will be going back for the night life

I ordered a shrimp cocktail with octopus and the vegetables were not fresh. Tomatoes were old and mushy. The cocktail came with shrimp, octopus, tomato and cucumber. No onion or cilantro. They also didn’t add avocado. The waitress didn’t ask if I wanted avocado so I assumed it came with, like most places. I would of gladly payed extra for it! The waitress was nice but seemed super busy that barely had time to get to us. I had to ask for a refill and it took her over 10 min to bring it. I’ll give a 6/10 on freshness. They also need to chop their octopus a little smaller. I had mouth full size octopus to chew. They need to work on a few things. Seems like they worry more about the money that’s coming in than the quality that they are serving. Parking is also horrible!! The security was great! Very kind and friendly.

Small place with very limited parking. Bunch of mongols post up next door. Overpriced Mario’s. They have different prices online than in the restaurant and have a bunch of papers posted outside saying sorry for price change/ inconvenience. Make sure you scan their QR code menu to check current prices because they don’t match

Beware—you're at risk of seafood poisoning! Everyone at our party got sick from eating their signature dish, the Kaliman, and the tostada embrazada. THE FOOD LOOKED GOOD BUT NOT WORTH THE AFTER-MATH!!

Food is bomb friend recommended and glad we tried it.
The sushi rolls all kind of taste the same but good and are bogo on Tuesdays. What I really really enjoyed was the oysters with shrimp on top the tostatada mixta also bomb and so was the taco el kaliman. Everything was really fresh. And the waitresses all very beautiful and friendly.
