It was nice to be able to sit and people watch outside and the wait staff were very friendly. I thought $55 for a margarita, cheese dip, and tacos was pretty expensive though, and thats before the tip. Was a good meal after a long day of travel and not eating, but ill probably go elsewhere for the rest of the trip.

This restaurant definitely had I more local vibe compared to some of the tourist places up north. As soon as we got there I could tell the employees or maybe even the owner started counting up how many women are party and started to shuffling the tables around to accommodate us. This was definitely one of the highlights in terms of The food that we had. Everyone was happy with their dreams and their food We got the mixed grill which served for adults. The shrimp, the lobster, the steak, the chorizo all of it was a good mix. There was a lot of vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower as well as a salad. Someone else in our party got the enchiladas and a burrito and they're very particular about their Mexican food and they both said it was the best meal of the Trip. The only item I wouldn't order and not because it's bad just because it wasn't as good was the carbonara.

Here are the top three reasons why you should go here multiple times. 1)The food. All homemade and perfectly portioned. The guacamole and cheesy dish was the best appetizer I've ever had. I was pretty full with just that. Even the chips are homemade. For dinner we ate tacos and a quesadilla, both solid and eaten quickly. Earlier we got an omelette and it was perfect with plenty of sides. 2)Price. We two appetizers, two entrees and drinks and it cost about 300 pesos. That's 15 bucks for us Americanos. If you walked about ten steps across the street, you would pay for the same food at about triple that price. 2)People. So this place does not have fancy music, TVs or even nice chairs. It's simple, clean and family run. They were always super nice and quiet, never pushing anything but still attentive to our needs. I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.

Because we had been on the resort for the majority of the time, we were on the hunt for an authentic taco stand on the island. After passing what seemed like 100 tourist trap restaurants, we walked right up to this place. One look at the handwritten menu and quaint, outdoor kitchen, we knew we had found the place. The menu featured various tacos, empanadas, ceviche, and other traditional Mexican street foods. I ordered three chicharron tacos (because I'm obsessed with fried pork), while my bf ordered an al pastor, a chorizo, and a chicharrón taco, along with three empanadas. The food was made fresh, so there was a bit of a wait, but not too long. Man oh man, was it worth the wait. I honestly wasn't even hungry, but couldn't pass up the chance to eat street tacos in MX. The chicharron was perfectly crispy with a nice fat-to-skin-to-meat ratio. Did I mention that the tortillas were all freshly handmade as well? Additionally, their salsa picante was just that-- picante! It was hot as Hades, which wasn't apparent from the light green color of the sauce. But try some, it's worth it. I was in Mexico for four days and these chicharron tacos were, without a doubt, the best thing I ate. Nom nom!

Several people recommended this place to us, and I can confidently say it did not disappoint. If you're in search of truly homemade, local-style food, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal. We decided to try their special, which featured a grilled red snapper alongside fried coconut shrimp drizzled with a vibrant mango sauce that immediately caught our eye. The combination of flavors was exceptional; the snapper was perfectly cooked, flaky, and infused with just the right amount of seasoning, while the coconut shrimp were crispy and sweet, providing a delightful contrast to the tangy mango sauce. One of the standout aspects of our visit was the warm welcome and attentive hospitality we received. The owner, who personally served us, was always nearby, ensuring that we had everything we needed. He took our drink orders and food orders promptly, and our meals arrived in a timely manner, which we greatly appreciated. Our waiter, Damian, provided phenomenal service throughout our dining experience. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and checked in on us regularly without being intrusive. His friendly demeanor and attentiveness made our meal even more enjoyable. Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations with its delicious food and exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic dining experience, and we can't wait to return to try more of their amazing dishes! read more

The food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the fried fish -- it's perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The owners are incredibly welcoming and even come out to personally prepare your meal. You can see right into the kitchen and watch your food being cooked fresh.

My girlfriend is just absolutely in love with Mexican tacos. She has ate them basically everyday we have been here.. She loves them so much, it was the first thing we did when we got off the boat, despite having an included buffet in about 90 minutes with our tour hehe ! This place did not disappoint. We did not order a lot, only 3 beef tacos (as I said, buffet was in less than 2 hours), and a couple drinks. To our surprise not only did it come with nachos, but heaping loads of guacamole. This happens to be something she adores...she ate like 3/4s of it (see attached pictures for food and portion size). The beef in the tacos had a nice kick too. Lastly, a special thanks goes out to our waiter, Martin. When my girlfriend accidentally knocked over her beer onto the plate with the tacos, he rushed out to catch the spill and even replaced all the affected food. That was super kind. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area and in the mood for some tasty tacos (Menu included for your convenience)

The staff seemed friendly, but when it comes to pricing, you really need to be careful.

We ordered snow crab as well, but it was severely overcooked and dry. We barely touched it, yet the restaurant refused to remove it from the bill.
