    Great food, great service! The store Is cute, clean and the best part, the food is authentic and fresh.

    Celina W.

    This was hands-down the best ceviche I've had since living in L.A.! The flavors were spot-on, and the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming. Funny story--I told her the taste reminded me of my uncle's ceviche, something I haven't had in years since I haven't visited my hometown in L.A. Turns out, she's actually from L.A. too, and from a city right next to where my uncle lives. Such a cool full-circle moment!

    Raspado.
    Linda C.

    My first time here because I was craving a raspado. I also got the Cheeto corn. I thought I said a vanilla raspado but I was given coconut. But it's ok. I guess I tried something new. The lady worker was really sweet & I didn't want her to make another one so I just took it. I wasn't really a big fan of the coconut so I gave it to my bf and felt like the Cheeto corn could use more mayo on it as it's a bit dry.. but the staff is friendly and the store is pretty clean. Looks like a small business and I suggest trying this place out!

    Called fruit drink with spicy Mexico seasoning around the rim and straw. Freaking delicious.
    Ted S.

    The shop is Apparently Mexican street food, which I was really not expecting. I thought it was going to be more of a taco shop with burritos and stuff. I was very pleasantly surprised with the drinks and had a shrimp and fruit dish for lunch. Everything that I ate was very fresh and very good. I used to own a restaurant in Chicago and I recognize that the owners are taking great effort at keeping everything absolutely as fresh as they can and the shop itself is very clean and presentable.

    Clamato
    Courtney S.

    Everything was delicious! My husband got clamato and it was so fresh and flavorful. I got the elote and it was insanely good! The owner makes everything FRESH. She was so kind and friendly and wanted to share her story and experience. It was so great. I can't emphasize how tasty and fresh everything is!!

    Destiny R.

    Service was excellent. I got a mangoneada and elote. I will definitely be back to taste more things on the menu.

    This spot was very clean! I loved the decoration and the service was very welcoming. But the star of the show definitely had to be the food! Everything was so tasty and fresh. I recommend you come with a buddy and try everything you will not be disappointed. We will be regular customers from here on out

    Piñalada and mangonada  yum
    Michael L.

    It's summer ! And it's getting hot so you might want to find some time to get some cool refreshments from this place asap ! Everything is made from scratch and tastes very fresh. I've only had a few item off their extensive menu but I have all summer to try every delicacy available. The ladies working service you with a smile and please by all means smile back okay.

    Mangonada with fruit
    Olivier M.

    This is the place to go if you want some quality Mexican style sea food and botanas, I highly recommend this place.

    Mangonada
    Lopezz L.

    La mejor mangonada que e probado, lo recomiendo, vallan a probar las botanas que se miran ricas. El lugar se mira limpio y el servicio excelente.

On 4/14/26 at 6:45pm I placed an order with this establishment. After receiving my food, I encountered an issue with my order. I called the restaurant to address the problem and seek a resolution. When my call was answered, the employee did not initially identify herself. I had to ask for her name, at which point she stated her name was Jasmine. I found it unprofessional that she did not provide a basic introduction when answering the phone. I then requested to speak with a manager regarding my complaint. Jasmine refused to provide the manager's name when I asked, which immediately raised concerns about transparency and accountability. After insisting, I was eventually transferred to the manager. Once the Manager came to the phone his introduction was bag o crab, I asked for his name. The manager refused to provide his name when asked. For appropriate customer service and documentation purposes I needed to know who I was speaking with but he continued to refuse. Shortly after I requested his name again, the manager rudely refused and hung up on me.This behavior was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. At no point was I provided with assistance, or any effort to resolve the issue with my order. This experience demonstrated a complete lack of customer service, accountability, and professionalism. Refusing to identify oneself as a manager and hanging up on a customer attempting to resolve an issue is unacceptable. My order was horrific. My experience was horrific and I wasted my money.

Here are the things we liked and also one little critique from something that changed from then to now: Salt and pepper pork chops: these are super good. Nice and crispy and the pork is tender. Salt and pepper fish: I always go for salt and pepper fish anywhere I go and this by far is the best one! Mapo Tofu: they do it really well here. It's perfection and hubby's fav Siu Mai: definitely great! Would get again for sure. We don't have dim sum in Vallejo so this amazing that they have this. Dry beef chow fun: now, I have been on the hunt for chow fun that reminds me of my childhood and what we used to get in SF/chinatown. This was the closest! The first time we got it, omg. Mind blown!! We got one other time before things changed. The third time we got it and even this evening, it's not the same for sure. I have a knack for remembering taste and this is not the same anymore. If anything it tastes spicy in a way they added more black pepper? Something in there is giving it that flavor. It's also darker than before like more soy sauce. I'm a little sad by this. Probably the last time I will get it. I got it tonight in the hopes it would go back to normal and the last time was a one off. Sadly it was not. The guy owner (I think he's the owner) is really nice and welcoming. If you read this, please fix the chow fun :(

Just about everything here is made to order (fish, wings, pretty much the whole menu), so patience is part of the deal when ordering at the counter. If you're in a hurry, calling ahead or using DoorDash is always an option. For lunch, I ordered a 2-piece catfish with collard greens and candied yams to dine in, plus a chicken wing and fish combo with fries to go. One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't fry the to-go order at the same time as my dine-in meal. That meant everything was piping hot and fresh when I walked out the door. The catfish is my usual go-to and it never disappoints -- perfectly fried, well seasoned, and consistent every time. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like someone's uncle back there is cooking from the soul. The collard greens are tender, flavorful, and always hit the spot. And the candied yams? Honestly more like dessert than a side -- sweet, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. Yes, it can feel a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it.

We were not asked what parts we wanted and ended up with very large wings. A hickup with the gumbo. In our opinion it was too thick like thick gravy. Not pourable to mix well with rice. We added water and reheated. It also had a crab arm\ pincher that needed to be cracked. If we didnt have a tool at home we would have had to discard the crab uneaten. Potato salad was great as was the pecan pie. I wanted to give this place five stars because of the workers enthusiasm about their business. I hope I can convince my wife to go back.

It sits in the back right off the water and has a very old time rustic look. There is no air conditioner, but they did have a portable one going. We sat by the window and it was fine when we first arrived but as our lunch went on, it warmed up, even though we dropped the shade. Not a complaint, just something to be aware of. We will return!
