    Pina Rellena

    Saw this location on a Tic Toc vid and wanted to try it out and it did not disappoint!! Seafood with a Mexican flair!!Portions were generous, seafood was fresh and delicious...and the cost was fair...margaritas are "full size" at about $10 each..entrees run~$20-25/person. We went on Sunday afternoon/evening and were treated to roaming Mariachi singers. This made the restaurant a bit loud...OK really loud, but helped make it great experience. If there was any issue...our waitress was not fluent in English...so we had to call over help to ask allergen questions...but we got it resolved and all was good. Check this place out!

    Paella dish.  Great

    Paella was very good! Service was great. This was my first time visiting and I have no regrets.

    Birria sandwich

    The birria sandwich was amazing and I was full for the rest of the day. The drinks looked amazing, but it was just ok. The crab boil was hot and was a lot of food, but it was not seasoned the way we want the Cajun crab boil season. It was just spicy. Overall I would go back, but my wife would try something different and maybe just stick to beer. Overall good vibe and they do live music as well.

    This place is phenomenal. The food was outstanding. We had a chorizo queso to start, and the fresh ceviche was so good! All three of us got different dinners, but we liked the hot stone meal the best. The paella was outstanding as well. Cannot wait to go back.

    The best food here is the sea food, a bit over price, but delicious. My favorite was the shrimp pasta. The ambience is a total vibe they have an actual live band playing. The service was good just very slow maybe because there's too many people and so little servers. If you go just know you will be waiting a while for food. Is good to go with a group of friends and talk and hangout while food gets served. The drinks were serve pretty fast.

    Date night place with live banda setting up around 7:30-8pm. Lots of drinks and seafood ! Large platters for big groups! More like a bar with food and live music after 8pm!!! Room to dance around too. I'll be back with my Guapo next time. Plan to spend $$$ but worth it! Mojarra frita was good. Needed some dressing for the salad and beans were a little dry. But the rest was excellent!! The chips and salsa and seafood dip idk what it was was yummy. Put it on the crackers and enjoy. Parking lot sucks full of holes! Be careful or come in a big truck. Servers was amazing and sweet!

    Reviewed March 6, 2019 A very disappointing Health Score of 43 out of 100 with a critical violation. The food was very good though. I hope they will clean this up! I don't always eat seafood in a Mexican restaurant. When we walked in at 11:30 we were the only diners in the restaurant. The waitress only spoke very limited English and we speak no Spanish. So it is point at the menu to order. No Iced tea. No problem, water works. I pointed at the Camarones on the menu and prepared with the Nayarit sauce (whatever that is). My wife pointed at the Carne, and somehow my wife understood that the waitress was asking how she wanted it cooked. Medium Rare! The meal starts with a small bowl of ceviche, crackers toasted corn tortillas, and screaming hot orange colored and green colored hot sauce. I am guessing the two were made with habanero and Serrano peppers. They were hot, but good, as was the ceviche. The food was spectacular and generous. The camarones came in a delicious red sauce with onions and the plate included, rice, a salad, fries, and toasted garlic bread. It was great! The carne came with a tender carne asada steak, rice, beans, fries, salad, a cheese enchilada, tortillas, grilled onions, and of course...a "chili toreado! The restaurant has a stage set up for a band. It is big inside and is laid out like a big music hall / sports bar. I am thinking that in the evenings this place is shaking. I'm glad we went for a fairly quiet lunch. The prices seemed a little high, but after seeing the quality, freshness, and quantity of the food, I felt it was fairly priced.

    If you come on a Sunday night get ready to party. This place has a live band with everyone singing along. The drinks were super unique and I felt like I was back in Mexico. If you're looking for unique seafood dishes that you can't get anywhere else, come here.

    a plate of fish, rice, and salsa
    Ervintha D.

    Found this gem in Tulsa, in the corner of 21st St & Garnett Rd. Best Menudo I ever had, but little bit smelly from the beef tripe. The Fried fish is so good, very nice combination with coleslaw, homemade potato chips is very crunchy. The sauce is so good! I asked to put it on the side, instead of over the fish. Very delicious & recommended!!

    This is a really good place in the morning and lunchtime. I usually get filete empanzado it comes with Salad and rice and a delicious piece of garlic bread. But I have tried in the past a coco relleno it has crab, scallops, and octopus in a red spicy sauce with pineapple chunks which I loved! But they have many choices. 7 Mares is really good too! They do have the pepinos rellenos very fresh a very well served if you want something very healthy. So if you looking for Mariscos this is a great choice. I need to point out that I only come early here because after 3 pm it becomes a bar restaurant. So I wouldn't like it for my daughters to be here later in the afternoon. But mornings and lunch are good. I know they have a live group on Sunday afternoon and karaoke Friday and Saturday afternoon. The waitress is very friendly and the place is clean and with lots of showing sports or videos.

    We went on a Saturday evening and the parking lot was packed and so was the restaurant. However,…read morethe line moved quickly and the staff was friendly. When you get there you order at the counter and then find you a table. There were plenty empty tables even though there were lots of people there. The ambience was nice, we were able to sit comfortably and carry conversation. My son and I ordered the catfish and shrimp combo, with a side of green beans, fries, and onion rings and it also comes with two hush puppies. The green beans were delicious. The hush puppies were good but I prefer just plain regular old hush puppies. These tasted like they had maybe jalapeño in it. They went spicy just a little kick to them. The serving size is a big portion for the combos. It came with three fish fillets. The fish was fried good but it lacked seasoning. The shrimp was good! We all actually liked the shrimp. The fries were good too there was just a lot. My son loved the onion rings. My husband ordered the jumbo shrimp combo and he loved his shrimp. They were fried perfectly. He also got a side of corn which was good. I saw this place on TikTok and that's what brought me here. Like I said it was good and I love the fact that it is made fresh right there,but it lacked seasoning. Oh and I also loved that it wasn't fishy, if that makes sense.

    I visited this place for the second time and decided to go for the fried fish and daiquiri. The…read morefood came out so fresh and hot that I could not eat as fast as I wanted to but no complaints there. Since it was my first time being able to get a daiquiri I took the chance and got a mango daiquiri. It had me spinning after a few sips but it was a perfect match with the food. The server was so polite and offered great alternatives if you wandered about mixing and matching menu items. My food ended up taking a while so they gave me an extra piece of fish and let's just say that I was certainly pleased with that gesture. I didn't eat it all In one setting, so I was able to take some home and actually have lunch the next day. The place was such a relaxed space and easy spot to consume your food. It wasn't too cold in there and it wasn't too noisy. I will surely return.

The shrimp were tender and well seasoned, though not quite what I would consider jumbo. The snow crab legs werenot as plentiful as I'd prefer based on the description, but the texture was right where it needed to be. They broke cleanly and pulled easily, which made them enjoyable to eat. The eggs were actually one of my favorite parts. They held the seasoning really well and added an extra layer of flavor to the meal. I placed a pickup order, and the experience inside was just as pleasant. The space was clean, and the woman at the front was genuinely friendly. We had a quick conversation about the menu while I waited, which made the visit feel more personal. Overall, I would come back for the flavor, even if I am hoping for slightly more generous portions next time.

The service was fantastic, the drinks were on point, and the food was incredible.

The cocktails were consistently excellent across the board as well. Overall, we had a really great experience and couldn't have been happier.

We dying here for lunch because while the ambience is intact, the service was less than expected, and the food fell far short of my experience the last time I was here. If you're going to serve crabcakes, they need to be fresh. Don't ever put prefab, frozen crap on a menu for a restaurant that wants to be taken seriously. Management should be ashamed! The crabcakes you are serving here can be purchased in the freezer section at Walmart, for crying out loud.
