Looking for a mariscos place, found this one. At first entrance reminded me of a place back in Ca. I am a Ca native in hope of finding mariscos as good as home. Place was cool 1 waitress, service took 10 minutes before she acknowledged me very poor. 15 minutes later I got my food. I got a Campichana, the mix tostadas, a beer and 2 margaritas. Food was awful and bland was a bit fishy. The seafood was bland with no taste what so ever. This by no means was fresh. Portions were small for the ridiculous high price they charged. The fish ceviiche was just god awful littel pieces of fish. I would not recommend this place, it is a waste of your hard earned money. You can make this stuff at home for half the cost. And you would know it's fresh and taste better. All in all never going back!!

Good food, tasty tacos
Good sauces too
I asked for medium horchata, but they brought me a large one and charged me for a large one. So watch out

You have to try the mejillones plate. The sauce on the mussels was sooo good and spicy. I will be coming back just for that plate. The salsa for the chips was also super good, authentic salsa.

The food came out fast and was actually really good — but that’s where the positives end. We weren’t given plates or utensils, the music was blasting so loud it was impossible to have a normal conversation, and not a single server checked in on us once. We asked THREE different servers for a to-go box, and none of them ever brought it. In the end, we just paid and left our food behind — which is ridiculous considering how pricey it is. Meanwhile, the place was practically empty — only one other table — yet the staff just stood around chatting with each other and flat-out ignored us. If this is how they treat customers when it’s slow, I can’t imagine what it’s like when they’re busy.

I just had the absolute worst experience at this so called family restaurant. If I could give negative stars I would. We were celebrating my sister‘s birthday. There were about 15 of us. The waitress took orders from my side of the table 1st but when the food started to come out, they gave it to those that ordered last which is fine. The problem is that my order never got put in. Imagine sitting at a table with family and friends and everybody’s eating and talking and enjoying themselves, but they didn’t put your food order in so you’re just sitting there. The waitress never even asked if there was anything else that they could do. I told them to might as well cancel the order they never put in because everybody is halfway through eating so it would be pointless. They offered absolutely nothing, not even a basic apology. If you don’t speak Spanish, don’t go here. They just try to act like it wasn’t a big deal. It was beyond embarrassing. I would never ever advise anyone to come here and especially to celebrate something special. They ruined my night. I had to walk out so as not to upset my sister. But this was the worst experience I have ever had. And I know they don’t care they let me know they don’t care and I will never be back here again.

We came here because their ceviche is good but we also decided to order a grilled fish plate beans and rice, and I got 2 fish tacos I thought the fish was going to be fresh and grilled but to my surprise it was like fish and chips fried and the grilled fished plate was not appetizing at all fish was dry and burn the beans were super thick and dry, we asked for cheese to add to the beans but also got a dry powder cheese thinking that because it was a Mexican place they would have queso fresco nop so not sure if I would give them a chance, the service was good pleasant.

Food is very good, but they’re always out of menu items which is disappointing because we come here to order those items. We drive 45-1hr just to be able to enjoy those dishes. Last 3 times I’ve been to the restaurant they’ve been out of empanadas & Flan.
I just hope they work on having menu items availability moving forward.
