I had a local tequila and a local beer that were both excellent. The fish soup appetizer was a meal, as noted/advised by my server. But I also had grilled shrimp which were perfectly grilled and delicious, as were the side order of mashed potatoes that came with it. Latte was tasty but needed to be hotter, and I just wasn't up for asking my server to take it back and heat it more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience at a reasonable price in my opinion.

I ordered the fried shrimp tacos and my wife ordered the garlic shrimp tacos we ordered a side of French Fries that unfortunately tasted like they had been fried in the fish oil.

My wife's taco were good but each needed two tortillas because the garlic sauce made them fall apart. The service was good and the beer cold

The old saying states: "You always get what you pay for." However, we paid around 65 (Dollars) for two soups, a fish fillet, and a small lobster tail. This is the worst seafood soup I have ever had in my life. How is that even possible, being so close to the sea? I do not know. Yes, the fault is mine because I should have waited to see what the local people were getting, which was fried fish. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place, and I do not think I will give a second chance. There are other options on the Malecon; I would try those next time.
