Carlo took care of us for a minute before handing us over to our waiter but the little bit we had him he explained the whole menu. Carlo is great & the food and drinks are 10/10 definitely coming here a lot. Live music is great too

Zaidi was out waitress and she was so sweet, so attentive, and great at her job. The restaurant itself was so clean, even the restrooms. We started off with an appetizer of fried seafood. It was basically just thin slivers of calamari (think fried onions for casseroles), tiny shrimp, and small pieces of octopus. It’s served with a salsa that lacked flavor but was just okay after adding salt and Maggi. It wasn’t anything special and we would not order it again. Not for that price. My kids nuggets and fries were good. Better than most places. I got the ribeye burger and it was soooo delicious. IMO it just needed mustard which I’m sure I would’ve been given if I had asked. The fries were decent, wish they would’ve salted them fresh out the fryer. I would definitely order it again. My husband got the filete relleno and he really liked it. I thought it was yummy too. The sides with that were good too! We will definitely be coming back! Their menu is huge and everything looks so delicious. My only complaint, besides the appetizer, is that we were charged for a soft drink for my son’s meal when the kids menu clearly says it’s included. I attached a pic of that so you can see. I did ask and said it wasn’t included and that was that, not gonna make a big fuzz over it. Overall, it’s a great spot.

On arrival you are greeted and walked to your table. Started off with chips and salsa with a surprisingly good seafood broth. You get a red and green salsa the salsa cups are too small more for dipping not scooping. Although the salsas have a good flavor (not spicy). It would suffice to have only the red salsa in a good sized dipping bowl would be perfect. I got the asado plate again not spicy but full in flavor and the meat was not dry. It was paired with rice and refried beans with cheese on the beans, and your choice of corn or flour tortillas. I also tried aguachiles with chile negro it was spicy and full of flavor it had octopus shrimp and veggies all balanced perfectly. My main concern was the beer glasses had stains from its previous drink (tajin) mind you I ordered a plain beer. Maybe the dishwasher was having a bad day i am not too picky so I totally forgot to bring it up. The vibes were Mexico beach themed with mainly Mexican regional Banda music (I personally enjoyed). Parking is vast, they also have handicap parking up front. All in all had a great experience I will be returning soon. Recap- great food/great vibes/great customer service. Their Seafood is a bit pricey but this is Midland all seafood here is pricey.

We absolutely loved this place until they made changes since the last time we went. Now the entire menu is in Spanish and not able to read it at all and the servers barely speak English. We got up and walked out before ordering drinks.

Fajitas were the worst I've ever had greasy, tough, no flavor. Looked great lots of food, but inedible. Gone and never going back. 🤮
