It seems this place is severely understaffed which is unfair to both the existing staff and the customers. We came here for my husband’s birthday because the reviews were so impressive. I got an expensive margarita that tasted bad. There are no paper menus - we had to order via our phones. Chips were cold and stale. The grilled fish on the tacos was good but everything else could have been better. We recommend waiting until their staffing issue is improved before coming here. You just can’t run a tight ship with half a crew. To respond to the comment reply: I didn’t drink two, I couldn’t even get past the first few sips of the first. Please feel free to see the types of reviews I typically leave establishments I visit. A low review is not the most common type I leave and I don’t like leaving low ratings; but when I get a response that is intended to mislead or lie I will stand by it with greater confidence.

My family and I waited 1.5 hrs for our food. on top of that, a real person doesn’t even take your order, you have to order ONLINE while sitting in the establishment. Also they only serve TWO options for liquor that dont taste very well. The ticket was $200 and change for small size portions and no server. If you want good food and good service DONT come here.

Food is good going on excellent. The service left much to be desired. Ordered a liter of beer and gor a pint instead, they rectified that by bringing another pint so no harm no foul. Ordered three tacos, skirt steak, shrimp and fish. They were out of shrimp so subbed a second fish, ok I guess. Paid extra for cheese and didn't get it, fine $0.75 I'll let it go. However, for some reason we got half our food then sat around waiting half an hour for the rest.I'll say it again, food was great, service was not.

Was at Belmont Park and was craving some seafood. Saw this restaurant right across the street and the environment was welcoming. The server was very attentive and helped recommend what to eat! I was expecting street tacos especially because of the pricing, but boy was I wrong. The portions were MORE than generous! Definitely hit the spot and the other customers all seemed to be enjoying the vibes. The margaritas I ordered were nice and sweet and definitely went well with my meal! I HIGHLY recommend the pineapple marlin taco and the Diablo shrimp taco! Definitely will visit again during my next trip!

I recently dined in after reading the positive reviews. Unfortunately, this place did not live up to expectations. The food was good, but the drinks were terrible. The mango margarita was sickening sweet, and the sangria was sour (likely old wine). I spoke with the bartender to exchange the drinks, but all drinks are a premade mix and did not have any fresh lime or oranges. They remade the margarita, but did not offer to remake or refund the $13 for the sangria. The bartender was very apologetic and friendly, but I feel a manager should have stepped in to rectify the drink issue. Also, since you order by app at the table, no one offered table water or returned to check in once the food was brought out.

We went to eat on a Sunday and the atmosphere was very good, they had good music, and the service from the boy Ángel took care of us very well. We ordered micheladas and margaritas and they were delicious, we ordered the meat and shrimp donkey and it was delicious, the ceviche from there tuna was very tasty, the best I have ever eaten, it is worth going again

FOOD WAS GOOOD! Very very nice employees! Buuuut- they need to get a better system going for themselves. This place has potential! For the owners- Tacos & Ceviche shouldn't take 1 hour.. they do a self order online but I'm not sure how they guess where people are sitting. Unfortunately we had a few mishaps while sitting at the bar! They gave our food away to the wrong table.. which we didn't find out till later. Again, they are so apologetic but we sat here for so long and wasted the day.
