First of all, pay with cash if possible just cause I had a little snafu with my bank after I paid for lunch here. Second: Do not get the medium margarita unless you have 2-4 other people to share it with cause it’s GIGANTIC. It’s so big, I can’t even imagine what the large looks like. Thirdly, their jalapeño is WAAAAAAAAAY hotter than the jalapeños we get here in the states so be wary. After all of that, I got the quesadillas (which are also different than the ones we get here in the states) and I tried all 3: chicken, steak and shrimp. They’re just little tortillas filled with TONS of meat and cheese. The steak and the shrimp were fantastic, I could take or leave the chicken though. One kid got steak and cheese nachos and those were great too. The best thing in my opinion though, is their guacamole. Very, very simple: super duper ripe avocados smashed and mixed with just a little salt and pepper and a little bit of lime juice. It had the smooth, almost creamy consistency of a soft serve ice cream. It was unlike anything I’ve ever had before because I love avocados but traditionally don’t like guacamole because of the onions. Great little place to try not far at all from where you get off from the cruise ships. Our waiter was fantastic, the guys outside the restaurant were funny and super nice, we got a free paper rose for my girlfriend, a few guys sang and played instruments and just overall a pretty good experience. I wish it was just a little bit cheaper though but I can blame the brunt of the almost $100 bill on my gf’s ginormous margarita. Lol.

The other reviews were accurate. I didn't visit the reviews until after eating at this location and checking my bank account. Our waiter stated his name was Eric but I doubt that was true. He stated our bill should have been around $100 and then I saw my card was charged $134. Unfortunately, these are dishonest people. I would suggest somewhere else. The food wasn't that great either.
We come back here every year that they have been open since the pandemic! Great food and a fun atmosphere.

Everything about the restaurant was great. Cold beer and the food was amazing. After lunch we went to sample tequila and my wife found some earrings that she loved. Salesman agreed to $280 dollars, but then he showed me the total in pesos (5600) on a calculator. I found out after we boarded the ship that he charged me $337!!! He used 20-1 but exchange rate was around 16-1. My fault for not catching it but he was dishonest!!! I will not make that mistake again and karma will circle back to him.

Be careful, they are not honest and they charge more, taking advantage of you being drunk. From a bill of 152 USD I tipped 30 USD and they charged me 219 USD to my credit card as they charged me in Mexican pesos, I had not realized.
Be very careful 40 USD more is a scam.

My wife and I had lunch and it was awesome good food tender fajitas cold Tecate Lite Will Go Again By The Way We Are From USA San Antonio Texas
We came here for an early dinner. The employees were super friendly (maybe a little too enthousiastic)- he stood by us the entire time we were eating and talked to us a lot, but he was nice. We were a little unsure about this place at first because there were a bunch of employees standing at the front practically dragging you in, but it turned out okay. The servings are pretty large, too. The food also comes with chips and a bunch of sauces, so it was nice to be able to try all of them. They do not take credit card, though he told us before we entered, which was good.

Scam! Came in there after seeing their drinks displayed earlier. Got a large drink listed at 16.60 usd 179mxn and 4 tacos for 9.90 usd 66 mxn. Got the bill and my brother in law got a tab for $3000mxn he was pushing to having him sign fast saying it’s just in peso it’s fine its in pesos. There is no way that a $40 tab equals $180! They tried claiming there is 3 bottles in there but it was nothing but colored sugar water. Do not come here they will take you for everything you have asking for cash!!

Service was good, but be warned that they do not take credit cards! And do not tell you till pay time. Also, drink prices triple by size and they do not warm you about it! We had a sticker shock when bill came.

Half the price of Senor Frogs and Margaritaville, which were both quiet and boring. If you want to pay less, drink better, eat better, and have fun, go here and ask for Irving. He will help you get what you actually want and won’t overcharge you.This place is worth it.
