First time coming to this venue and I just must say I will return. I’m super picky with langostinos.

My ostiones we’re clean a bit on the smaller side but hey for the price you can’t beat it, I’m not complaining at all. BYOB was amazing plus we did order a Michelada for the hangover and...

Definitely the service lags a lil bit but it’s mostly because it’s packed and the inside and outside are connected through one isle but other than that the food is great I would recommend “la bolsita” and they even have live music which is a plus!
