Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my food but I got some green aguachiles, cóctel de camarón with pulpo y sin pulpo, as well as a plate de camarón empanizado which were super good 10/10. This restaurant is on the pricier side imo.,, but it's good !! Service was great ! I went in person cs I tried to call to place an order but the number on google was not the right one LOL? Anyways super cool inside the ambiance was vibey lmao music was great
Food is really good drinks and cayo are my favorite service is good I will definitely come back
Food- Off the hook! Easily my favorite place for some fish or shrimp tacos. Very underrated on the quality of food, it's just damn good food. Service- They could be better, there for sure has been times where either me or my boyfriend has been treated with rudeness by waiters, or as though they're in a "rush". Another downside is asking for any "add on" sides may get very pricey. I once asked for avocado and I think we were charged 2 bucks and were given maybe a fourth of an avocado Ambience- if you want a peaceful, quiet place this isn't it. No privacy really. I've came in plenty of times where the tables are sticky or dirty with food, might just be lack of workers? I give a four stars because the food is so good it outweighs everything else for me
Amazing food ! The best Mariscos ive had in the longest time! Was not dissapointed at all! The service is incredible, very kind people. We most definitely be back.
They are one of the best mariscos place in town. Very fresh mariscos. And fish .. a great time to enjoy a good meal with karaoke on Weekends
