    Michelada

    If you are looking for fresh seafood this please is it. Their tostadas are so delicious and fresh. They don't come on top of a tostada but I'm sure you can ask for that they give you a place full of your choice of seafood and the tostadas on the side so you can make them on your own or eat it like that. Great flavor and so fresh. There shrimp tacos are delicious too very flavorful. Their octopus tacos are good too. Their fajitas are huge and delicious. Love there micheladas. On Saturdays they do have a dj at night so they have karaoke and a lot of good music. The staff is really friendly and attentive. Place is always cleaned and has great atmosphere. Definitely one of my to go spots for mariscos.

    The meal was absolutely delicious! started off with the Botana de Camaron San Pedro Guisada con Cascara and the shrimp was soooo flavorful in that dish! Also can't beat the $6.95 margaritas that also taste pretty good. By the time my entree arrived I was already pretty satisfied from the chips and appetizer but I managed to eat half and have some nice leftovers.

    The food is so delicious. The prices are cheap compared to other seafood restaurants. Since my first time here 1 month ago I have been there 4 times. They serve food after midnight, the live dj music and karaoke is entertaining. The service is excellent and margaritas are $6.95 and good! Love it here!

    The best shrimp tacos
    Chelsea ..

    I love coming down here! From their plate of camarones a la Diabla to their shrimp tacos are very flavorful. Also they're very quick on serving the food so if you're hungry no problem!

    Best places ever, Tommy best customer service, I recommend the shrimp cocktail, they aren't shy with the shrimp and it tastes amazing.

    Food is good but The Service is very disappointing. There are 3 of us here and ordered 4 Tostada Mixtas and they only give us one tostadas each. When we ask for more they only bring us 2. We ask again and they only bring us 2. I don't understand why. Is there a shortage of Tostadas because of covid now? They have always given a basket full. Even during covide the past 2 years. But today. Extremely stingy with them. Charged for the "extra tortillas"? I know it's only $1.30 but damn! Sounds pretty Petty as Hell to me. I have never been charged for this before here or anywhere. I guess we have to bring our own tostada tortillas before going to eat Mariscos?

I found the wait staff to be a bit short-tempered and absent-minded. The molé was decent, sweet, with a little smokiness. The plate was big enough to share or take leftovers home. Comes with a basket of chips and salsa you get yourself at a salsa bar. Ordering is at the counter, then you take a number to your table. Soft drinks are self serve. They don't have Coke Zero, only Diet Coke. The flan was pretty good. They ask if you want it topped with a caramel sauce and/or whipped cream. Again, I had to go to the counter and ask for it (even though I had paid for it). In fact, I had to go back to the counter several times. My drink cup was forgotten. My flan was as forgotten. Since no one came by to check on our party of five- I had to go to the counter to get to-go boxes and bags. It's close by to work, so I might come by another time. Or I might just go to Melody's because their staff seems to be nicer...

It came with a side plate of spices (oregano, chile de arbol), sliced lemons, chopped onions, and cilantro. The chicken taquitos dorados (a la carte) were flavorful, tasty, and moist. There were also a bit larger than other locations. They were served on a bed of lettuce, half guacamole and half sour cream, and some cheese. Ordered Chilaquiles (verdes - choice of green or red).

Despite it being the middle of the day and a Tuesday it was still hard to find parking and we parked on the side streets and walked. The main entrance is not well marked and we were pointed to the side door. On entering it was nice and air conditioned and we were seated quickly. Menus are on the qr codes on the table but the menu is hard to scroll through because you have to click each different items to look at and then scroll down and up. We asked for regular menus to make it easier and we were given menus that had hole punches throughout from punching out all the prices because I'm assuming prices have gone up. I hope that they could make the virtual menu a little easier to look at since i think they might be phasing out their physical menus. While we waited on our order we were given delicious chips and spicy bean dip which were excellent. So delicious. For salsa we were directed to the salsa bar. While I think the bar is cool, the tiny cups to get salsa are too small. I would have liked the bean dip sized bowl to get enough, instead of having to get several tiny cups which are hard to scoop from with the chips. I orderd the #7 which was a cheese enchilada, a crunchy beef taco, and rice and beans. My friends ordered two different taquitos plates, one orderd a fajitas plate, and the youngest got cheese quesedilla. My food was delicious but the portion was so large that I could only eat the taco and take the rest to go! Same with My friends, everyone ate maybe a 3rd to a half of the plate and then we all needed to go boxes. Overall a very delicious visit!

One meal can easily be split between multiple people. My favorites are the green enchiladas and the spicy chipotle burrito, and the rice and beans are just as flavorful and delicious as the main entrees. Upon being seated, you are served a spicy and cheesy bean dip with fresh chips, and there is a salsa bar inside where you can fill up on your choice of salsas. I sat in the outside patio area in my most recent visit, and while the quality of the food didn't change, the service was not the greatest; my table and a couple of other tables had a difficult time flagging anyone down for refills, to go containers, or the bill. There's also a pretty big price difference between paying with card and paying with cash; multiple menu items were at least 3-4 dollars more if you plan to pay with card. Still, the food is good and if you're craving some hearty and comforting Mexican food, S&B is a good option.

The meat was fatty, no hominy, and about half of the bowl had meat. Served corn tortillas and with side of cilantro, onions, chile de arbol, lime, and oregano. Also ordered a combo of Chile Colorado with rice and beans. The beef was tender, tasty rice, but the beans tasted like from a can (not homemade), and 4 corn tortillas. 2 large drinks (size of cup were the almost the size of napkin holder - A+).
