The is definitely the best seafood ? restaurant around. The food is always prepared with such care, that when your plate arrives it's a masterpiece. Please tell Maite and cooks and the young men that are awesome ?
And yes would definitely recommend.
Been customer over 10+ years.

Thank you ?❤️

Delicious...

The restaurant is small but the food is great. The fish chicharrónes are lightly breaded and they taste even better with their super spicy sauce. On cold days I like to get their seafood soup that comes with delicious white steamed rice (yes, their rice flavourful). The other items on the menu are also well done; you cannot go wrong when selecting anything from the menu. Service and price are good as well. I haven't had a bad experience.
