    Taco de chile relleno con camarón, y salsas. Es muy bueno.
    Lisa K.

    Good drinks, food and service. They have a great salsa bar with lots of option. Very American prices.

    Tacos and stuff... lol

    Best tacos in San Carlos. Great atmosphere. JJ is pretty bad a**. You must try when you visit. They have cigars as well.

    Don't be concerned about the plates covered in plastic. That's just how they do things. Lol

    Casual, inexpensive, GREAT food! JJ is very welcoming, excellent with suggestions, makes sure you have everything you need, and is always keen to make you another one. 'Who cares!' haha.

    Very good restaurant set inside a giant new palapa. Reasonable prices, friendly staff and JJ is fun to meet. Live music some nights. Good menu with a few local novelties.

    Regular "Donkey".

    Simple but tasty food. Atmosphere of "who cares?" by the owner greeting people at the door.

    We went one day for the breakfast buffet. They had a few different meat options, chilaquiles, a…read morepancake/oatmeal station, fruit plates and juices. Everything was great. They have tables inside and a few outside for seating. We then came back the next day for lunch! We got the mixed grill to share between 2 people. It's a lot of food depending on how hungry you are this could feed 3-4. Absolutely great spot. Service was really good as well.

    It hurts my heart to write this review. Coming here was always something I looked forward to…read morewhen I stayed here scuba diving. I have been coming to this resturaunte for 6 years. After an amazing day of diving today, I just wanted an easy good meal. Went downstairs to the bar, and the bartender on 13 July 2024 at 1900 was so kind and helpful. He was working his butt off. I made sure I tipped HIM well because HE is trying to do his best. He did not cook the food. I had a couple beers and ordered my favorite here.... cheese soup, or caldo de queso. I have not eaten much as I was diving all day. I also ordered 3 beef flautas to go. I looked for the salmon I usually get, and it was not on the menu, but availability and prices change. I get that. Back to the soup ...the broth was bitter and had hardly any spices or flavor. It was such a disappointment...like it was thrown together and microwaved. Usually the broth is rich with complex flavors, like a layered cake. The broth could stand alone with nothing else in it. Yes ..it was that good. I said to the bartender it was very bad, and the bartender apologized. A few seconds later the "cash you out lady" came over and she was a straight up unpleasant. She did not offer any apologies or offer to comp the horrible soup. It was business as usual. I was so disappointed. The flautas- three flautas covered by some type of thrown together shredded lettuce and rice n beans and guacamole. I can say the guacamole was amazing. The beef in the flautas was dried out and tasteless. It tasted frozen. It was a sloppy mess that , once again, seemed thrown together. You can see the difference in the soups in my photos. First and last photos should be then and now . Holly is a sad panda tonight .
