Their English is fairly limited, so be prepared for a bit of a language barrier. After ordering, we ended up getting 4 fish tacos and a wet asada burrito with green sauce. Here are my thoughts: Fish Taco - Delicious. The fish is fried and comes fully dressed with sauce. We opted for the handmade tortillas, which were fresh and absolutely bomb. The handmade tortillas were an extra $4 each, which I didn't fully realize at the time since the menu was in Spanish, oops. Still very good. (4.5/5) Wet Asada Burrito - Tasty and solid. The burrito itself was good, and I especially enjoyed the rice. Everything tasted great with the salsa smothered on top. Definitely a satisfying dish. (4/5) I'd definitely come back now that I have a better understanding of their menu (I was pretty lost not speaking Spanish). We did have to pay cash since they said their card machine was down. Overall, a pretty good experience. Parking: They have a parking lot in the back.

Even the sauce served on the side had the same sour profile, making it harder to fully enjoy the meal. Sadly, this wasn't the most pleasant burrito experience for us.

I highly recommend visiting this delightful seafood restaurant, which is family-owned and renowned for for its exceptional service and delectable cuisine. I had the pleasure of trying their Camarones a la diabla, and I must say they were absolutely delicious. The shrimp cooked in a spicy sauce offered a burst of flavors. To complement the meal, I enjoyed a refreshing Michelada, which added the perfect touch to the overall dinning experience. I encourage to visit the restaurant and indulge in their exceptional seafood dishes. read more
