This place has fast service and reasonable pricing. Definitely a place to visit for Mexican Seafood dishes in North Austin!

So I've been wanting to try this restaurant for some time, however the parking lot is barely full. After my dining experience I see why. First, a lot of the menu items were not even available, however still listed in the menu. For it to be such a small amount of people in the restaurant the service was slow...especially from the bar. The gentleman at the bar seemed to be the manager/bartender/watchful Dad all at the same time. Drinks were left at the bar waiting to be served for an unnecessarily amount of time allowing drinks to be watered down. My dining guest was cut off after two drinks due to the Bartender discretion not due to a restaurant policy or improper behavior. Nothing was stated in the menu you're limited to two drinks nor were there any signs stating your limited to two drinks. The salsa is served in tiny to-go cups, similar to what you would get for one taco at Taco Cabana for a table of 4. The food was less than stellar. It was as if the cooks were just as upset to be there as I was. It just was sad. The highlight of the experience was our waiter as he had the best attitude and was very transparent and honest about what we were experiencing. Would I go back? No. Not worth it for the price. Bill was almost $200...with tip exceeded $200. 2 out of 10. 2 for our delightful server. Would NOT recommend.

The grilled octopus is SO soft and tender, so delicious! The grilled red snapper was do flavorful and the flan was rich and caramel-y, so good! I highly recommend this place! The management is so wonderful and we had a great time!

Calamari was excellent! Grilled fish tacos were also great! Beautiful place to have a drink, relax and enjoy quality seafood. Play area for small ones to entertained while parents enjoy a night out!

Orders took long even for a simple suace or drink while they weren't busy, food was decent, but they were out of a lot of items. Our server was great very social and funny.

Very bad experience with the food. The menu does not match what they serve you. We ordered a cheese molcajete with chorizo, and it was literally a ball of dough. The shrimp zarandeados were not zarandeados. The ceviche literally had no shrimp in it. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant for the food.

I highly recommend this restaurant! We went there for my Mom’s bday and I’m thankful she introduced us to this place! As soon as we walked in we were amazed by how the ambience instantly transported us to a beach house. It’s decorated so CUTE! They have lots of seating and even a big table that fits 14 people. It’s a great shape so that everyone can feel included in the conversation (it’s not your typical long rectangle arrangement). The seafood is SO FRESH and SO DELICIOUS!!! I’m a big fan of ceviche and they have so many different types to choose from! I ordered a tuna ceviche tostada and a aguachile verde tostada; they were both incredibly DELICIOUS and tasted so FRESH! My husband got the paella and was not disappointed! We came with a party of 8 and the service was EXCELLENT! Our waiter was so patient and helpful! My mom was worried about the spice level of a soup and they brought us all samples of the very tasty broth! On top of all this, they had a separate room where my 4 year old and 9 year old could play while we waited for our food! I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! If you love fresh seafood, this is the place to try!

This restaurant was a wonderful and unexpected surprise. I didn't know that I could find such Mexican seafood in North Austin!
The decor was so cute and nautical. The food took me back to the days when I worked on a cruise ship and used to eat in the Mexican Riviera. I cannot wait to share this restaurant with friends.
