Great food, they didn’t have anything vegetarian on the menu but made custom vegetarian fajitas and veggie taco, both of which were very good. Seems like a fun place to hang out for a drink too!

Vegetarian options: Their vegetarian taco was VERY good and I would order it again

I came in today to eat with some friends and 2 children. The server did not bring the menus or said I’ll be with you guys in a bit. We were sitting there for a while wondering who was going to help us. I got up and asked for the menus. The server got one of my friend’s drink and was leaving without taking all of our drinks. I said we are all ready if you could please take all of the drinks please. I ordered 1/2 a dozen of oysters 2 horchatas and a lemonade the sever left and came back saying we don't have those oysters anymore only the 3- 6 and 8 and I said yes 1/2 a dozen is the 6 so i didn’t understand her question and she got upset because I said 1/2 a dozen is 6. She left mad and got the drinks exempt for the lemonade once again we were sitting here wondering about the lemonade and we asked about the lemonade after 6 min of waiting and she came mad to the table and said we don't have lemonade if you see the menu you can see that we don't have it. I said okay thank you but you could have said that when we ordered it. But okay and at this point shes all mad and said if you don’t like the service you all can go ahead and leave or i can get my aunt so you can complain so yeah we paid the drinks and left. I was not going to argue with her. The food here is great but the server was rude to us. My friends, family and myself will not come here again until their service improves. Thank you.

Hidden gem next to the Laurel Inn, we're so glad we checked it out! Not sure what some of the older reviews were about, but we had excellent service - they were quick, kind, and anticipatory of our needs (to go boxes and check timing). The food exceeded expectations from the delicate broth and tender crab and fish in the 7 Mares soup to the deliciously garlicky camarones platillo and refreshing aquachile. Even the chips and salsa were yummy with assorted hot sauces at the table for more kick. We didn't stay for karaoke, but right around 7pm, the restaurant got a little pep in its step setting up for a musical Saturday night. We'll definitely come back next time we're in the area!

I had a truly disappointing experience at this taqueria. Despite being a paying customer, I felt completely ignored and neglected. It was evident that the staff only cared about catering to their family members who were present, leaving other customers like myself feeling like second-class citizens. I waited far too long for any attention, only to watch as they doted on their relatives, neglecting other tables. The service was unprofessional and downright rude. It's unacceptable to prioritize personal connections over serving all customers equally. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for decent service or respect as a paying customer.

This place is disgusting, personally I really like seafood and I have come to this place and the karaoke of Chikis Arrellano gets all drunk and offends people a lot with offensive words when she is drunk she plays the songs to whoever she is She wants to because they pay her for the song, she no longer plays it to someone who doesn't give her money if they are already paying her. And Mr. Danny, the owner, manages the business very poorly because he starts flirting with the customers and on the other hand he hangs out with Mrs. Alva who thinks she is the owner of the business who is a waitress, that drunk lady is a waitress and she is all drunk and then It is not respectable, that place is not family-oriented, rather it is a cantina. Mr. Danny has a waiter, his cat stands up. He charges more on the bills. Mr. Danny is disgusting. He starts groping every old woman who stands in front of him because he does not respect people. Mrs. Iliana is a respectable lady because she has always given herself respect and well, what to say is finished and it was said.

This place is excellent. I'm African American, and the pride they have for one another is beautiful. The food is great, the service is great and the ? in Spanish is awesome. Everyone can sing. I come here every time I'm in town. I work for South Bay Moving Systems.

Amazing spicy salsa! I asked for extra extra extra picante and they tossed some peppers in my burrito for me and it was amazing. My new favorite hang out!!! Best salsa ever. The roasted salsa is the spiciest but the Serrano is the most flavorful. Just amazing and karaoke nights host some of the best vocalists that I've heard in a long time!

No English, when I called and asked what time they closed they whispered for a minute and came back and said the kitchen had already closed at 9pm but the restaurant is open until 2am must be primarily a bar.
