    Chicken enchiladas with sour cream chipotle
    Tim R.

    Great place for lunch or dinner! We went there for dinner about four months ago and for lunch today. Consistently great food, quality service and nice ambiance. Music is pleasant but not overwhelmingly loud. Waiter was attentive and friendly. He seated us quickly, took our drink orders, and checked in on us regularly to make sure we had what we needed. I love starting the meal with chips and salsa, and they share them with every customer. Highly recommend.

    Came in on a Thursday evening with a couple of buddies after driving by a few days earlier. Plenty of seating inside and there were a fair amount of patrons for a weeknight. A good sign! We found the service to be fast and courteous. Chips and salsa are provided and they also have a homemade hot sauce that was delicious. We all enjoyed our food and it came out hot and fresh. We had fajitas, carne asada and chicken tacos as well as a few cold bottles of Mexican beer. This is a new place and it has hit the mark, especially in an area really lacking good Mexican food. I'd recommend trying it out.

    Don't judge this place by the outside--step in and you'll be pleasantly surprised. We were greeted immediately and seated right away, with excellent customer service throughout our visit. The owner stopped by a few times to check in, which really stood out. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and everything was very affordable. We had a few margaritas and they were chef's kiss--perfectly balanced and dangerous in the best way. The menu has something for everyone. What this new spot may lack in curb appeal, it more than makes up for with great food, strong margaritas, and genuine hospitality. We'll definitely be back!

    We were greeted, brought chips and salsa, and had drinks right away. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Food was good. We both ordered a tamale and chili relleno which was nice and cheesy. It was more than enough food for lunch!

    Fresh Margarita

    Best Margaritas outside of Mexico! Perfect amount of heat in the salsa, too! You're missing out if you haven't tried El Charro.

    Love coming here for dinner, $2.99 house margs on mondays are the best days! The staff is very welcoming and attentive.

    Carne asada tacos

    Our new favorite Mexican food place! Food was DELICIOUS and decently priced. Portion size was great. Definitely going back

I even confirmed with the cashier during our last visit because I thought that was really nice of them. The young lady cashiering this time around had no remorse or explanation but a "NO" just military or the coupon. If you're okay with this type of customer service and can over look it plus this place being a bit $$$ definitely try their steam crabs and fish they got here. Customer Service definitely needs work. Its very awkward coming inside to an awkward staring contest with everyone behind the fish counter and cashier ( NO GREETING OR HELLO) as if your trespassing into the building or hi how can we help you today?

We had to drop off some items in the area and wanted to get dinner before heading back, so we looked over the menu and reviews. It seemed like it would be perfect for seafood lovers, and we were able to snag one of the last tables available. From the time we walked in, the service was amazing. The staff made great recommendations, checked on us frequently without being intrusive, and made sure we were enjoying our first experience there. Even the other customers were super friendly and told us they had been coming back for years for the great food and service. We both loved our meals. The breading on my fish was really crispy (a recommendation from the server), and the hush puppies were delicious. The portions were very generous, and I really enjoyed my leftovers the next day! The decor there is also super cute. They have several old soda machines outside and adorable crab-themed items inside and outside. Even though it's a bit of a drive, we both agreed that it will be well worth another trip in the future!

Not great, not terrible -- average. For me, sitting at the bar is better than at a table: better service and conversation with others. Same food, average seafood with typical sides. If the food was a notch better: I'd come more than once a year. I find Mays, Liberty Seafood and Avery's roughly the same, with Mays having the edge over the others (quieter too). For just crabs: order takeaway from Westpointe. For bulking up on food: Avery's. I actually enjoy eating at Avery's -- but it could be so much better if they improved the sides and service. Still, I do come once a year -- contrasted to: I visit several other restaurants at least twice a month ...and get better quality seafood dishes (at a marginally higher price). Just saying...

    My widf and I decided to give this place a try after reading the Yelp reviews…read more We love seafood and there are no good seafood restaurants in our immediate area in Pa. Interestingly, the restaurant is in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The off street parking lot is small but fortunately there is paid street parking by an app, with no coin acceptance. There are approximately six-eight outdoor tables in the front of the restaurant that seat about four people each. The indoor dining area seats approximately eighty guests. This is by no means a fancy restaurant but it is clean and comfortable Our server Jalin was very sweet and attentive and recommended several dishes. Beer and mixed drinks are also served here. We started with the fried calamari as an appetizer. The calamari had a delicious crunchy coating and was not chewy. For pur main dishes, my wife had the pecan and coconut crusted flounder and I had the seafood jambalaya. Both dishes were excellent with generous portions. Neither of the dishes were overcooked, with the flounder was light and prepared perfectly. Prices were reasonable and worth every penny, especially with how generous the portions were. We will definitely be going back to try other dishes and recommend giving this restaurant a try.

I liked the mussels, but the jambalaya is what Gen Z would label as mid. Not really authentic at all. Rice was plain and there was no Cajun flavor profile.

Our server was good though and attentive. I just wished the food was a little better.
