All jokes aside. This was a surprise. This is a Spanish Seafood Restaurant. All dishes are Spanish and extremely flavorful. This place needs more publicity because the food was damn good. Y'all need to check it out and leave them a review. I was truly skeptical at first because I remember what the previous restaurant was. And if THEY didn't prove me wrong. Good drinks and great food, man I'm hooked!!!!!

Eh...it was okay. Food lacked flavor and servers didn't seem very knowledgeable. Don't think I'll be back.

Amazing seafood cooked to perfection, caring service, reasonable prices. This place is a gem. Be ready not for a Mexican restaurant but for a restaurant of Mexicans. This place is the real deal: they don’t care about catering to the gringos’ taste - you need to embrace the decor and the loud music and make it part of the experience.
Definitely among the best Mexican food I had and the best with seafood.
Don’t yourself a favor and skip the usual dishes - their specialties and their seafood tacos is where the magic lies.

I ordered the pasta el braco and this is what I received. Soaked in butter. I tried to get the butter out with paper towels, after 4 bounty towels I gave up.
Update: I called the restaurant to see if I could get a refund, was told the manager wasn’t available, then after I told them I uploaded pictures on google, the young lady got the manager and I kid you not, he said I shouldn’t have left a google review, I should’ve just called. And then he tried to bs me by saying the pasta had just setttled. After being reprimanded for uploading a review I told them I wasn’t comfortable coming back in for a refund and asked if they could do it over the phone to which I heard the manager say since she wants to be bold and post online she can come in the store. Anyways worst experience ever 🫶🏻

Best advice, don’t eat here.

When they have dried dog crap on the sidewalk walking in, and the entry way smells like stale Fabulouso, this should warn you.

The server didn’t speak any english at all. I would thanking fo plate would be a simple task, but never assume.

They have a fountain drink machine but bring you bottle drinks at the cost of $4 each for the 10 ounce small ones. When asked we were told it was mexican sprite and special.

They consider themself a seafood restaurant but I would be scared to trust their seafood. The prices are in the $50-100 range for fairly simple dishes.

The tortilla chips come out as whole tortilla sheets and not chips. They grab them out of the warmer with their hands no gloves or tongs. The salsa has a clear liquid base and chunky white stuff in it.

The texas fajitas were dry and bland. The rice was bland.

The service sucked; I can see why at dinner time there was only a few tables present.

Best advice, don’t eat here!

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. My experience was terrible from start to finish. First, I waited an hour just to get a table, and then another hour for my food. Meanwhile, every other table around us was getting complimentary nachos—except us.

When my food finally arrived, it looked nothing like the menu photo. I paid $25 for something I could’ve made at home, and to make it worse, I barely got any rice or shrimp. To top it off, the food was cold, and all they could say was, “Oh, I can warm it up.” No thanks—I already wasted two hours here.

Needless to say, I left no tip because the service didn’t deserve one. I’ll never spend another dime at this place. Absolute waste of time and money.

Great tasting food, we had one of the charolas, the flavor was great but it definitely wasn't fresh seafood...plus it had a lot of onions and too much oil,we also had the oyster shots and those didn't feel fresh either, service needs a lot of improvement, i ran out of water and was never offered a refill...
