This is third time here, and so far all I've tried is great. Today I had the taco Tuesday special, three fish tacos for $5, and it does not disappoint. I've also had the beef and chicken taquitos, and they are stacked. Can't complain.They also serve complimentary chips and salsa. The drinks are good. It's clean, and great service. Give it a try if you're hungry. And try to stop by on a Tuesday for the specials.Parking: Parking lot in the back. And street parking.

Way too EXPENSIVE for Menudo. You ask for water and they charge you $3, it's ridiculous. NEVER GOING BACK!

Went in at 8:30pm on a Thursday evening. Walked in the music was blasting with people singing. Wasn't greeted at all. Sat down at a booth and waited 10 mins for anyone in the restaurant to acknowledge myself and my plus 1. Kitchen has a cook and didn't bother to let anyone know there were customers. Besides that the staff seems to be having fun with each other singing and probably consuming alcohol because they didn't once walk to the dinning area which is 10 steps from the bar. Owner needs to see how his staff is on certain days. Mind you didn't seem like anyone other than the staff was in the bar sections. Gotta give it a 1 star because it won't let me post without it.

What kept them from 5 stars? $6.76 fee to pay with a credit card, and their drinks were sub-par. The horchata taste like it was just sugar and milk, no cinnamon. The house margarita was horrible. I will end with the best part of our dinner. The food. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The carne asada tacos were nothing to brag about, but the shrimp tacos were delicious. The caldo de res hit the spot and had the perfect amount of meat to veggie ratio. The fried fish filet was cooked perfectly. Service was decent. Ambiance... it's a hole in the wall, nothing to brag or complain about. My recommendation is to order your food to go or save your money and skip the drinks, and have water with your meal. Keep in mind they charge for water.

Moises is so professional and takes the time to explain the menu and calendar of Happy Hour and menu. They have kareoke and are very family oriented. But, you need to make it to Taco Tuesday! Delicious tacos and salsa flavors.

I went here for the first time and ordered the fried tilapia plate. It came with salad, rice, beans, and tortillas. The whole plate tasted perfect. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I even appreciate that they packed the cold salad on the side instead of with the hot fish. While I waited for my order, I had a michelada at the bar and it was perfect! The bar looked nice, new and inviting. I highly recommend coming here to eat or chill and have a drink or two!

Want so e yummy seafood?Want to drink?Want to play pool?Want to have a good time ?Want to dine at a place not extremely packed? Try this out!Our dishes were mostly all amazing! Maybe I just want craving the seafood soup as much than I thought, they had prawns, shrimps, little small pieces of octopus, little pieces of fish, but flavor was good!The fried tilapia was amazing, according to my famThe breaded shrimp hit the spot! According to my fam. Jamaica drink was very very good, not too sweet Will come again to see how it is next time!
