    Juan speciality plate

    Juan was a excellent server and recommended us his speciality plate and it was a 10/10

    Guacamole
    Patricia M.

    Here on a Friday, lots of people. Small establishment with a small band of 5 people and a speaker. Yah. Too loud for this place m never the less was entertaining. Food was ok, I personally was not impressed. Appetizers, the guacamole was top notched & noticeable fresh. The pescado chicharróns a large portion, fresh and crunchy. The calamari was pretty good. The tamarindo margarita was a big too sweet. No combo plate of fried shrimps and oysters. So I ordered the fried shrimps, batter was ok. Fries were not desirable, Luke warm. Paella was good, portions enough for 2. The Spicy seafood pasta tasted like it was made with a lot of Valentina, portion enough for 2 The only things I found enjoyable was the guacamole & the attempted entertainment. Personally would not return. If so only for the appetizers.

    Fish tacos

    We dined during the week close to 5pm. There were plenty of tables available. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is relaxing with pleasant Spanish music in the background playing, not too loud. Tostadas and ceviche were brought immediately, as well as the drinks. We ordered Coctel de Cameron and fish tacos. Everything was good. I was just not impressed. The prices are a bit steep, though. Service was fast and friendly. Personally, I don't see myself coming back. Come check them out for yourself and let us know your feedback!!

    Huachinango al la Nayarit

    This is one of my go spot for seafood. Their food is so amazing. My favorite is the huachinango al la nayarit. Their drinks are great too. The service is always amazing. They have great ambiance as there is live music.

    Huachinango (snapper) with delicious white rice and veggies. It also came with fries and garlic bread.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this seafood restaurant. Portions were generous and the flavor was on point. My husband and I enjoyed the comfortable ambience and friendly staff. Several members of the staff stopped by to make sure everything tasted well. Food was served quickly and piping hot!

    Tamarindo margarita
    Mari R.

    Omg!! First time here and I have to Saigal it was so delicious!! I'm absolutely impressed. I had shrimp cocktail!! Definitely a 10....also had the battered fish and shrimp and oh my.. it was so good!! The drinks were amazing too! I'm definitely coming back

    4/23 - This place is on my list every time I go see my friend at St. Mary's or in the area. Finally got to eat here for lunch and it lived up to the hype. Not very crowded when we got there, but became busier. All the food looked good at the tables, but we were there for the Molcajete Cora. There is some fried corn tortillas, Ceviche mix, and green salsa. This was a great start to the meal with a green salsa that had some kick. The Molcajete Cora comes with Shrimp, octopus, mussels, crab legs, fish, abulone and chopped clams in a sauce that slowly grows to a perfect spice burn. I used the corn tortillas to soak up this great stew. It is a fair amount of food for one person and a good shareable plate for seafood lovers. Service was on top of our waters and making sure the tortillas stayed full. Really enjoyed this place

    Their shrimp is not deveined correctly, it wasn't just one but probably half of the shrimp on my plate was dirty.

    I'm not going to lie, I had always like las Islas Maria's. Their mojarra is the best. We ordered take out and I felt like I wanted Caldo so I ordered shrimp soup. I ordered without the peel to make sure the shrimp was cleaned/deveined. At first I thought it was, then I started finding more and more that were not. About half of the shrimp was not deveined yuk. It seems like a poor attempt at cleaning it .Definitely puts their care and cleanliness into question. I am not trusting their ceviche now.

    Cerveza preparada
    Ellen E.

    My mouth is still salivating thinking about eating here. We came with a group of four and there was about a 15 minute wait. We were seated and brought out some tostadas, limes, salsas, and complimentary ceviche! It was very fresh and not fishy tasting- very good. Our group decided to get the cerveza preparadas with six tecates garnished with shrimp, cucumbers, chamoy, lime, etc. we originally thought it was a little pricy at $45 but omg its a bargain! It comes served on a huge platter with seafood on it including crab and octopus. It's drinks and an appetizer. My husband and i split the paella and half a dozen oysters. The oysters were fresh and just what you would expect. The paella was delicious. Maybe a tad bit salty, but the beer helped with that. This place was really delicious and had large servings and blew my expectations out of the water. We will definitely be back!

    The place was packed.

In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!
