The fish tacos had a horrible smell and I refused to eat it the service was good at the bar area but couldn't get pass the food there
The service here was top tier. However, every single food item I had tasted sweet (when it shouldn’t have), which I think is intentional as it was a sentiment shared by the group. This is not native Mexican food, and as much as we wanted to like it, it was just lackluster. The food was definitely prepared as it should have been for the restaurant, but was just unfortunately sweet and not very good.
Food was good and the drinks was strong. The wings were really good and the empanadas too. Taco was OK. The Lovely area by the water. Would definitely go again.
I am a huge fan of Mexican food. When I say the food tasted authentic, it is the understatement of the century. Really good.
I had the short ribs. My husband had the steak fajitas. Daughter had the chicken flautas. Son had the chicken quesadillas. I tasted all of the food. The answer is YES YES YES YES. The best part of the meal is that the food tasted like the chef really took the time to cook the food with love. It was not loaded with salt, which is a major problem with Mexican restaurants.
Ooooh. And I enjoyed the guacamole. I make my own guac, but the guac from agua 301, I will try again. Thank you!
The only sad part was that the one who was waiting on us seemed to be overwhelmed by other customers. I’m glad the restaurant was busy, but waiting for a box for 10 minutes after my family left to go to the car, made me feel like I was forgotten. I unfortunately had to waste beautiful uneaten food because I never got the box for the leftovers.
The atmosphere was very romantic. I had my kiddos with me and even they said the restaurant felt so fancy. 🤗
2 adult meals, 2 kid meals, no desert, no alcohol ran up $90+. Yep, it’s expensive. But it was definitely worth it. Will save to come back with my hubby.

My family/friends had dinner here recently and it was FAB! We had a reservation and they seated us immediately with an option for inside or outside. Inside was very noisy, so we chose the outside patio and it was lovely. Our server was very nice and friendly and brought out our drinks/food very quickly. I ordered the Mexican Paella which was simply amazing! Probably the best I've ever had. My two friends ordered the quesadilla's and both of them asked for things taken off (or added on) and the kitchen staff was happy to do so. Awesome customer service. All around - a wonderful meal with a great view of the wharf. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Big shoutout to Candice and the whole team—they really made the night. From the jump, the energy was welcoming and the service stayed on point the entire time. Food was great , came out quick, and the vibe in the restaurant was laid back but classy at the same time. You can tell the staff actually cares about making sure you have a good experience, and Candice went above and beyond to check in on us. Definitely one of those spots you don’t just try once—you keep coming back. service here great!
Three of my friends and I dined there on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. There is a happy hour special at the bar, so we made the decision to sit at the bar. One of the happy hour items was a frozen mango margarita, and it was delicious! Three of us had the crab omelette and the other friend had the crab cake Benedict. The omelette was tasty, but fried just a little too hard for my taste, so if you like a softer omelette, just let the server know. I also do not eat potatoes, so the server was very kind to accommodate me and offered a side of cilantro rice instead. Our server, who was also the bartender, was very attentive and outgoing; he made our experience really fun! Kudos to him for waiting on people at the bar and then having to come from behind the bar to serve the people who were sitting at the bar tables. When I walked in, the hostesses were also very friendly and welcoming. This is a place that I would definitely return to! 
Nice view but the food did not taste fresh. Mole was very sweet and menu didn't explain this.
Great happy hour with attentive staff and great food and drinks. The classic margarita is a deal at $7.50.

Luz was fantastic ! She rushed us in when it rained out and made sure we didn’t get wet ! She definitely went the extra mile !
Food was amazing. Luz was our server and she was so attentive to us. Even rushed us and our food instead when it started to storm.
Here you really have to take the trip. Delightful Mexican food. It was possible to sit both inside and outside. The drinks were good and the staff were nice.
The service was outstanding and Candace did an excellent job of reading us and taking care of us the entire family and making sure our drinks were full and our food was ready and served on time. Thank you.
We had a great lunch. Luz was wonderful and took great care of us and our toddler! Would definitely come back. Great views of the waterfront too.
