Food is above average. That's the good thing. The bad thing is they're bait-and-switch tactics. Case In point, their own website states that their shrimp burrito is $9.99. When in actuality, it's $16.99. I found this out when I looked at the cash register screen and it said $16.99 VS $9.99.
I then pointed this out to the cashier. And she stated that they recently changed the prices and she pointed at the in restaurant menu. I then.
Said well, I hope it's a good burrito and she said oh, it is so I go back to work and start eating it. And then I note that the shrimp was actually breaded and not just shrimp.
And I can taste that the oil that the shrimp was fried in was stale, as the shrimp had a mild bitterness.
Me and some of my coworkers had gone there a few times before. And I always ordered the Marlin tacos which are good.
Now, with that said, I made the mistake of going there on Sunday, they had a live band and the music was so insanely loud. I had to practically kiss the order taker so she could hear me.
And it was really not a good experience. As I brought my girlfriend there and we couldn't even talk to each other.
We had to text each other and we were sitting right across from each other.
But she was a good sport about it and even requested a song, until she found out the price for that was going to be $20.
So with that said, there are many other places out there, better than this one. And without the bait-and-switch pricing tactics.

The place fills up quickly. Looks like a popular spot for friends, couples, and some families. There was a band playing, keeping the customers animated. The servings were big, and the dish presentations were all out. The food was good. It's definitely a place to check if you like sea food.
Parking: Small parking lot. You may have to look for parking on the street, especially if it's a busy day.
Kid-friendliness: It's a small place but they have high chairs. If the band is playing, it may be too loud for the children, so you may want to bring ear plugs for them if they have noise sensitivity.

The place is nice, personnel service is great and food is delicious. It's their extremely loud noisy music that invited me to never eat there again. I decided that next time I'll call to place an order and just go there to pick it up and pay; and walk out of there as fast as possible.

I used to love coming her but our server tried to be slick by covering the “8+ people” for giving her self an automatic 20% gratuity. After I paid and got the receipt and saw what she covered and asked her about it they just laughed it off and said “the baby was enjoying the live music though”

I'm sorry to put a bad reference...the place is very small and there is no AC, the service of the waitresses is terrible, they serve in a bad way...and the food is not good!!???
If seafood is what you are looking for then this is definitely a must go to spot.
It's nothing fancy but the food is delicious!?
