We ordered takeaway as we had a dog and wanted to stay outside but it was very dark as the lights were off outside! The preparation took much longer than they had said and I actually didn't find the food surprising at all for the price! All options had simple flavors of Clamato and sunshine and lemon! I didn't really think it was worth the price and the delay! The attendants are super friendly!!!

What a wonderful surprise to find such good seafood in the middle of the desert. This is definitely a comeback place. The services is great. It's a small location with a big parking lot but the prices are very reasonable and the food is outstanding. Very traditional Mexican seafood.

At 62 years old I have never written a bad review, but I ordered 1lb of snow crab legs (which is what was on the menu), I got maybe a dozen claws, no legs at all. Some of the claws had no meet in them. They put 2 sliced up lemons in the bag, so everything tasted like lemons. When I told them that I ordered crab legs they said this is what you get.

Speaking and reading Spanish will help if you visit. I got the chicken tacos. I could not believe how small they were how little chicken on them. At least you get 4. The chicken was super delicious just wish there was more of it. Also tried the coconut shrimp. It was decent. It came with salad, rice and mashed potatoes. No alcohol is served here but they said you can bring your own.

Great seafood especially if you like ceviche. Only one person there spoke. Very good English. However, the Hispanic experience is very good. Some very unusual seafood presentations. No alcohol beverages provided. Prices were moderate.

Great food and awesome service! Its pricey but worth it every once in a while. I would go more often if it wasn't so expensive. The drinks are yummy too. Go try it out!

Don't order their onion rings they were terrible and few. The fish tacos were delicious and so was the iced tea.
