This may be the only restaurant in Houston where you really need to bring about 5 to 8 people with you and order one thing from the menu. Dig in and enjoy! The food was incredible. We had over 4 pounds of shrimp, two fried red snapper, and mussels. It was too much food for just four of us, and I think we still left with 2 pounds of shrimp. The flavor, execution, and presentation of the food were amazing. The spices created a nice blend that everyone could enjoy; it wasn't too spicy or too bland. People usually stay away from Mexican food because of the spice levels, but this place is perfect because the flavors are balanced without overwhelming heat. You can also ask for extra sauce on the side, which adds a little spice for those who enjoy heat. Overall, if you're concerned about spice levels, this is the ideal spot as it avoids any conflict with the spices. read more

La comida esta deliciosa! Y las meseras nos han atendido muy bien cada vez que vamos.

Worst service & management, if you want good food & service this is not the place. We saw them taking pictures of some food & we joked saying "that's probably our food" because it was taking so long. She ended up coming with that same food & "said sorry we were taking pics", mind you both my mother & sister were done with their food & to top it off they gave me the wrong order. Don't come here unless you want to fill up your own drinks. (yes i had to fill up my own drink because they would not attend us). Then we asked for a manager & she never came nor did she care, she walked right past our table like nothing happened. We were probably checked on a total of 2 times not even kidding. Worst experience ever. read more

Giving it a 1 star because this business charges you more for items than what the price on their menu. I ordered a molcajete de mariscos price on the menu was 47.99. However the restaurant charged me 57.99 read more

This new eatery has opened in the space formerly occupied by a Chinese buffet restaurant and there is plenty of parking space in front along with the adjacent Walmart parking lot. I had lunch there over the past weekend. Inside this place is huge. Two large dining rooms with a small stage separating the two along with another area devoted to a large bar. When I visited and was seated I noticed a musty smell and wasn't sure where it was coming from. Also, while this is mainly a restaurant the Latin music being played was too loud in my opinion giving it almost a nightclub feel. The music was ok but just too loud. The restaurant has a large menu with most items of a Mexican theme but also offering pasta dishes and burgers. I ordered the chicken fajitas substituting charro beans for refried and homemade corn tortillas for $9.95! Yes that's right on the price and it's not a lunchtime special, it's the regular menu price. First to come out was a complimentary tostado in lieu of chips and salsa. Personally, I prefer chips and salsa but the tostado was still good. Also my ice tea was served in a large glass with no ice and I like ice. I flagged down the waiter to ask about this and then he brought me a glass of ice. He should have been aware that my ice tea had no ice in it when delivered. About 5 minutes later my entree arrived. The platter was full of small pieces of seasoned chicken along with plenty of red and green bell peppers and onions. I was pleased. The charro beans were tasty with a slightly creamy consistency and the 3 corn tortillas were thick and did a good job of holding everything together. They gave me a plate with rice, lettuce and two tomato slices but left off the guac and sour cream that is suppose to come with it. Two problems here. First, they only give you a fork to eat with so I had nothing to cut the tomato slices up into small pieces for my tortillas and they forgot the guac and sour cream. When I told the waiter about this about 5 minutes a person from the kitchen brought me a bowl full of sour cream and a large plate full of guacamole. It was enough for 5 or 6 people to use and therefore most of it was wasted. The bottom line here is that my meal was good tasting and represented an incredible value price wise. However they need to work out some of the kinks. The musty smell, loud music, no ice in the drink, missing guac and sour cream and then when it arrived most of it was wasted. I will give a 3 score overall and hope that as they are open longer that they get some of their shortcomings taken care of. read more

This place is all hype! The food lacks flavor big time. Service is ok, our waitress was nice. Ambiance could be better, the music was too loud and not enjoyable. They definitely need to work on a lot of things starting with the flavor of the food. They serve seafood soup in a margarita cup! They forgot to bring out one dish and still charged us for it. They also charge a credit card fee. If you are a foodie, this place is not it. read more

Seafood is a bit different from your typical Mexican seafood but is very good and has a big variety menu. My favorite are the fish tacos here ask for the habanero salsa if you dare.. bar makes great mix drinks and it's also karaoke bar. Seen some incredible singers on Thursday nights. Plenty of room with a nice big bar read more

I want to give this place 5 stars so bad but man the serviceeeee.... the food here was absolutely DELICIOUS. hands down my group of 10+ people all thought ALLLLL of the food was AMAZING. i don't think i've ever forced myself to finish a whole meal like this, it was TOO good to leave anything behind. I cannot stress enough how good everything was. my younger kid cousin said , even though its white rice and looks really plain it has really good flavor. I even thought that of the side of fries that came with some of our foods bahaha, y'all know how some other sea food places sides of fries be.. but, it took about 15+ minutes before even getting our drink order taken, 10+ minutes for the *soft drinks to come out, another 5 for the *liquors, and another 10 minute for the *aguas frescas. 10 minutes after alllll of our drinks arrived then we got our orders taken , so after 40 minutes of being seated we got our orders taken. about 20-30 minutes later our food came & our waiter only came back once after our arrived & we never saw her again we sat for another 30 minutes after finishing for our check that never arrived, we almost walked out bahaha I guess they didn't want to let us pay. anyways we finally walked up to the front counter our selves & paid since no one told us anything about the payment process or anything ** overall really delicious food no doubt with great serving sizes, but wack service and prices read more

Our first time here & our last time!! Hostess didn't know which tables were available. Service was very slow. We had a party of 5 & two persons got their food & the rest 20 minutes later. When they sat us it took 10 minutes for waitress to come get our drink order. Food was good. I ordered a Margarita it took them like 15 minutes & they forgot my partner's beer. I order another one & waited 15-20 minutes. I don't recommend the margaritas, no flavor whatsoever. I ordered another thinking the ones in Patron mason jar were going to be better but nope!! Only the fruits on top were good. We saw a post on Yelp & everything looked good and that's why we wanted to try it. Waitress was nice but had too many tables to tend to and service was slow. read more

The aguachiles negros only has 8 camarones and a shit load of salsa smothered over the plate which u can't see the camarones and it's not the aguachile negros that u expect either, it wasn't all that. The chipotle crema with salmon and scallops and octopus, tasted like cheese mostly not chipotle and crema. And sauce would get hard fast.. it wasn't that good. The rice was really good tho! And my sons quesadillas! Service was caca smh read more

Not worth the money or time! This restaurant lacks taste. It proves my theory, bad sauce with the chips, bad food.

Terrible service, even worse food. Oh and if you decide to pay with card, there's an up charge for that as well. You're better off eating the fish fillets from McDonald across the building read more

I love it here!! Great customer service and the food was delicious. Not to mention the drinks, our favorite was the michelada. Our server Marlene was super nice, fast and on spot with attending us. I highly recommend this place, especially on the weekends where they play music and dance. read more

The service was TRASH had to walk out no one checked on us for 20 minutes after walking in. We found a bug in our sauce never come here

Es mi primera ves en este lugar la comida es deliciosa todo esta sabroso siempre que esté por Houston pasaré a este sabroso lugar

Beyond my expectations... We stayed with tostadas de civiche. Then for main plate we ask for a salmon in Nayarita sauce which to our su price came with shrimp and octopus. And let tell you the sauce to perfection and salmon was great cooked to perfection. But to our surprise what I like the most was the octopus it was so soft cooked just right and with the sause even better. Left with wanting to come back just to ask for the octopus by it self with sause. Great place !. read more

First of all if I could leave 0 stars I WOULD. Let me tell how horrible the service at this horrible place was . 1. after waiting one hour to get a table in the front for a performer who was a friend of the family another family that was already sat down got an attitude with the waitress and said no we are moving and we're gonna move to the front (TAKING OUR TABLE) we told our hostess, why did you allow them to take our table, they said they had an attitude so we let them have YOUR table . at this point we should've left right but the performer who is very close to us wanted us to see her we stayed. We waited another 30 minutes before we could sit ourselves basically at this point. 2. It's basically raining inside the restaurant. The AC units are leaking their tubs all over the restaurant so you're getting a performance and you're getting rained on. 3. After sitting ourselves down, this is about 2 1/2 hours in after countlessly talking to waiters walking around hey can we get some drinks or can we get some menus after 2 1/2 hours of being in the restaurant they told us here's the menus. What do you want to drink? We got our drinks right take in mind . It was only six drinks for $87.60 OK on top of that we told the waiter hey we're ready to order waitress told us that the kitchen was closed even though everyone that was before us and after us was getting their food . The waitress told us that the kitchen was closed due to high demand.(But after 3 hours waiting it was EMPTY) I don't understand the lies of the staff there don't get it. I understand you don't want my business, but after my waitress comes back to me and says hey, you didn't leave me any tip what do you want me to tell her? I got zero service you told me I could not order food came back and told me hey yeah I'm ready to take your order in after I told her I'm ready to close a check for the $87.60 for my six drinks my family was here, it's disrespectful to be called a family old restaurant if you treat them like garbage. 4. Very pathetic restaurant the store honestly needs to be closed down needs better management better staffing. 5. Stay FAR FAR AWAY read more

Ordered Togo. Walked in smiling greeted w/ the strangest look lol. Asked to order to-go. She got annoyed when I needed a menu (girl WHAT lol?) She handed me a menu then walked to the server area near the front of the restaurant and just stood there for over 5 mins. I feel like making hand gestures/motioning to come here across a restaurant is rude so I refrained from doing so. I just stood near the podium waiting, menu down clearly ready to order. Wasn't even on my phone and we made direct eye contact several times. Still stood there lol. I ordered 3 tacos, it legit took forever. I watched ppl be seated, order and have food brought out way before she brought me my 3 stanky ass tacos. Plus, I didn't receive my chips. This was like my 2nd visit & the vibes were way off (again). I thought I might've been overthinking it the first time but nah, it was weird. They racist. Simply put. I still tipped, cause chivalry. This would've been a great time to keep my morals and money to myself. read more
