The food is superb, the flavors are right, I like to order a shrimp plate thats smooth and almost cheesy, with a touch of mustard and mayo, they call them camarones mazatlan, 10/10 its my favorite dish. My mom likes to ask for the lonja, which is a dish with a side of rice, salad and a flounder fish perfectly seasoned Smokey hints of peppers, it's definitely a savory dish. These two dishes have been excellent every single time we have gone to eat. Today I ventured out of my comfort zone and ordered the oysters, I have to say these were lacking. First I asked the server what kind of oysters they were because there are varieties, such as Damascus, Japanese oysters, and obviously oysters from different Mexican waters but the server was unfamiliar with the type, which is fine although it's specifically a seafood place that is considered to be an upscale restaurant with valet and above and beyond Customer service, so for the server not to know where the "fresh" oysters came from it was a little disappointing. The taste wasn't as amazing as, let's say, the oysters from Kings fish grill in Carlsbad, if you've gone there and tasted those oysters from different kinds of waters you can almost taste the very ocean the oysters came from. These particular oysters lost their humph or weren't very prized, still good though. My kids ordered the poblano fettuccini, it's got a kick sometimes so beware of that. They devoured it. We ordered two tostadas one was a shrimp ceviche which was excellent, and the other one was crab, equally superb. The taste was exact, lemony, salty, seasoned right. After our meals my kids ordered the churros with glaze and caramel, the dish is very good, not to greasy, toasted with sugar and cinnamon. My mom ordered the tres leches and the cake itself is something worth talking about, it's light, it's airy, it's soft, moist but holds its cake-y texture even with the milks in the cake, it wasn't too sweet, it's quite palatable. The ambiance is noisy, it's crowded but it still manages to provide the privacy that you desire to have with your family. We have never had the discomfort of being too close to another table to over hear their conversation or for them to be able to hear ours. The decor is a Spanish beach feel with coastal accents. These restaurants will continue to be here for years to come, I have gone to both this location and the Mexicali location and both locations have delivered exactly what they promise. If you are passing through and want a touch of excellent seafood take a moment to taste this place. You are certainly never forget it. read more
