OMG genuinely amazing. We stopped in for the first time craving ceviche peruano, and decided to try this place. Mexican style and SO refreshing and delicious!!!!!! We will be back to try everything on the menu. Really really was so fresh and flavorful and tastes so healthy. Definitely worth the $16, got the bowl of fish ceviche to share for an afternoon treat and we were surprised at how satisfied we were after.

We ordered non-spicy food and they delivered it to me with spicy, in some orders, I asked to speak to the manager and he did not appear, regular service, food with regular seasoning, normal portions, clean place and bathroom, high price for the quality and service.

The spot is cute and the chasers were nice. The parking sucks but if you wait it does for most places in the location. Now onto the food! We only tried 2 things from the menu and I'm going to have to say I'm happy we only tried 2 things because I probably wouldn't have finished what I ordered. Not because the size but because the flavor just didn't do it for me. We ordered the Viejon seafood fries and the ahi tostada. We went here expecting marisco flavored food. The flavor was very Americanized and not authentic at all. I'm used to mariscos from Mexico and this really does not compare. The shrimp on the fries had more of a charred blackened flavor and the creamy sauce they used had more of a mayo flavor than anything else. The ahi tuna tostada did not taste like fresh ahi. It didn't taste old or anything like that it just didn't have that fresh sushi grade flavor. The creamy sauce was also a mayo flavor type sauce. I would say the poke from Yard House had more flavor than this one. The looks of the food were very deceiving. The pictures look loaded with flavor but that was not the case at all. Don't get me wrong the food is edible but it does not have that authentic marisco flavor at all.

The tower is an amazing mix of all seafood items. Remember to add the sauce with onions and jalapeños. Delicious.

Great unique flavors, but a bit on the salty side. Definitely worth trying out though!

I saw some pretty cool ads on social media and thought that would be a nice place to go for New Year's Eve. Could not tell you what it tastes like due to they were out of almost everything on the menu. When I asked what kind of oyster they had, the man said the regular kind and that they did not have any. The music was too loud to be able to hear the girl at the register. The girl at the register was really trying to cater to us. I have heard good things about this place and I have heard bad. So far from first impressions I am not thrilled or impressed.
