This place is great… if you want food poisoning! They cook dead crawfish which if you’ve never accidentally eaten before is not good. Guaranteed food poisoning. But the owner argued and said they didn’t. But the crawfish smelled like horse manure so they obviously lied and served bad food to save a buck. I wouldn’t trust any boil from this place.

The food here was excellent. The staff was awesome and really friendly. Problem was that our food arrived separately at considerably different times making it an awkward eating existence for our group. And the music was deafeningly loud!!

Just my 2 cents. It's not worth the visit. The Ceviche was very bland. I'm not sure where they get their squid for the calamari. It literally looked like we were eating chewy onion rings. Let me not talk about the wait staff. I'm not going to count the times we had to go to the bar to ask for a refill or for another drink. All that being said, our party of 6 made the best of it and paid for our meals and went elsewhere.

So I looked this place up and saw they had a good looking El Mar cocktail. So first off this place is medium size seating inside and outside. Pretty family friendly in my opinion. Okay so I ordered two drinks the hurrican and la Paloma. The hurricane I DO NOT recommend, just a bad blend period. La Paloma wasn't to bad, but I've had better. Oh yes then the price 12 bucks for the hurricane and 14 bucks for the Paloma. So we ordered a chicken salad and the El Mar cocktail. Surprisingly the chicken salad tasted and looked fresh and was juicy. The cocktail man it was delicious, exactly what I had been craving didn't disappoint. As far as the service, not well. First after the salad comes to the table she ask if I had ordered something, which I had, so I ordered again. Then after talking while the salad was being eaten and finished, I FINALLY got my meal. I'm just glad everything except the drinks was good.

The food is ok for the most part but the ceviche has no taste other than cold seafood with lime it was just blah! The waitresses definitely need more training because they didn’t check on us but two times while we were there, they were too busy checking on the guys sitting outside. The atmosphere is good depending on what you like. The day we went the bartender definitely had over served two customers because you could definitely see they were drunk. I don’t see this as a family environment to be honest unless you go super early. If I considered buying food again it would have to be to go, but I would not sit down to eat there again.Parking: The parking is substantially super small. You have to drive up the street or around to find parking.

Terrible service, the waitresses are very inattentive, the food is not that bad. They include the tip in the bill, I don't know if the tip is divided among the employees because there are some who do deserve it. I am one of the people who thinks that the tip is left from the heart and not out of obligation. Improve customer service from your waitresses.

The food tasted not good. The beans were expired and acidic. Service was terrible. We spent $200 for less than mid food. I would avoid eating here.

Love this place, I've been to mariscos and El pulpa but this place is amazing. Great servers, very polite not also that the music here is great not too loud or quiet just the right volume. If you're new in town I would recommend this place to eat here, the food is on point very well cooked and served.

The food was good but I don’t recommend dining in. Came here on Monday night around 7pm and the waitress seems like she was in a hurry to tab us out when we barely got our 2 drinks, we only been inside the restaurant for about 30 minutes and we were the only customers in the room so I didn’t understand the rush.
