I can’t even count how many times I try to snap a pic before we dive in, but these two dishes were worth the wait! 🤤 The Aguachile Negra and Ceviche are absolute standouts—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made.

If you’re ever near Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, IL, do yourself a favor and stop by this spot. You won’t regret it! 🌶️🦐✨

The seafood was very tasty and came in large portions. The three of us each got a small entree, but we could have probably split one large entree. We will definitely return to try some of the other dishes.

Camarones al gusto with diablo sauce is a real treat! I don't even know where to begin to describe this new flavor that was introduced to my palette on Saturday. I have already made plans to return for mothersday lunch. Food was excellent, drinks were fun and flavorful! This place is an absolute gem! 100% recommend!
