I always come to this location for the atmosphere and food. Came around 3pm on a weekday. 3 other tables. It was nice to be serviced and have amazing FRESH ceviche. Had Karina’s ceviches and Tamarind margarita on the rocks. Rocio was amazing. She welcomed me and checked to make sure I was okay and that the food was good. Her heart and soul cares. Thank you Rocio.

Excellent service and the best seafood I've had in Chula Vista area. I've tried so many places but this by far has the best taste and service.

Parking: Parking available is definitely a big plus
