Really delicious outside the box food but they could use more carbs. Dishes are largely not served with rice, tortillas, chips, etc. to mop up the pools of delicious sauce that surround them. This felt wasteful as well as being a less-than-filling experience. Service was uneven. Cheerful, but removing dirty plates seemed an afterthought even when the table was tight with them. There is no chips and salsa appetizer and that seems sad. Menu is heavy on the Seafood and low on vegetarian...
We had the corn and guacamole to start. Both were tasty. We were surprised they did not have salsa. The octopus main dish and scallops were very good, but small. The tacos were underwhelming. They came with just two toppings and lacked flavor. Drinks were good.

The queso fundido would best be served in a chafing dish to prevent the cheese from solidifying with a very large clump of salty chorizo stuck in one spot.
The front of the house was a bit disorganized. Attention to detail was lacking. Our waiter, when asked to recommend a few additional food items to order, recommended items that were already ordered/consumed. Water wasn't refilled.
