Food was mid and overpriced. Music is extremely loud, but band is good. Service is not the best. We were told no booths were available when there were clearly some clear. Check was not able to be split in two. Simple things any restaurant should be able to do.

Excellent place to go. I went last Thursday and everything was so good. The food, the service, and the place. I was attended by Galilea and she is such a kind waitress. I would definitely go again soon.

I ordered the Shrimp a la Diabla and it really missed the mark. The shrimp were tiny and the whole plate was just oily, like it was sitting in chili oil. The flavor just wasn’t appealing — I didn’t even finish it. My wife got the cocktail de camarón and it had almost no taste, just watery. We know you’re supposed to season it yourself, but we had to add so much hot sauce and salt just to get any flavor out of it. We ended up paying the bill and going somewhere else to eat.

Sometimes it's super loud specially Sundays with Banda but I think you can chill in the middle of the week
One of the best mariscos I’ve had in a long time! The service was a little slow, but it was totally worth the wait. Highly recommend trying a little bit of everything — estilo Colima, y Guadalajara!

I had dinner here with the family for a birthday celebration. Food was good. Drinks were good. The only thing is that there was no way We’re going to have a conversation maybe we just showed up at the wrong time when the music started.
But besides that everything was good they did take a while just to get her drinks refilled

Saw all the great reviews and thought I should come try this place. I honestly did NOT like this place. I get the hype for the alcohol but not the sushi. I shouldnt have expected much from a mariscos place doing sushi but I honestly felt sick after just two pieces . The shrimp tasted a lot like fish and I've made shrimp before and cooked seafood I know that it shouldn't taste and smell that much like shrimp 🦐 So that was red flag 🚩 #1, the 🚩#2 was when I noticed that the sushi was very warm ... And sushi isn't supposed to be like that even if it has cooked items the inside should be fresh not warm inside and smelly. I came on a Wednesday so they do have sushi roll deals buy 2 get 1 free so I didn't pay that much. The place also has music but just banda nothing different no DJ or cumbia or even reggaeton so it's not really the place to get lit. (IMO) And the banda wasn't even that good tbh, they were really loud and I just wished they sounded better. Didn't try anything else on the menu as my appetite was gone and didn't finish the sushi 🍣 either. Got the Miami Roll and I believe the Dynamite Roll 🚫🙅🏼♀️👎🏻
Won't be coming back here , disappointed too . Also the outside didn't smell good either, smelled like someone took a 💩💩💩 outside. 😔🤢🙅🏼♀️ Everything on the menu too is pretty overpriced, and when we got to the restaurant the seats were dirty and took a bit to get seated. The server was kind however but I wouldn't come back again. Tables were dirty and we didn't like the food.
