    This is my third visit here, each time we come we have an even better time. Food and service are stellar here. Next time we will be sharing a molcajete and enjoying the karaoke. Waitresses here are lovely and treat us well, love it here!

    The location entrance faces the street but there is a private parking lot in the back. From the moment we walked in we could hear the music playing over the TV screens that were showing different games. The staff sat us down immediately and provided us with a menu. The menu had a variety of meat and seafood items. Other than the appetizers the majority of the menu items were $15+. The drink options are beer, canned/bottled drinks, and agua Fresca. The wait time for the food was a bit long which made us fill up on the chips and drinks. When the food arrived the portion sizes were huge. Both of our meals had a high amount of salt which made the meals hard to eat. I had to use the table salsa to help with the saltiness of the food but it just didn't help. The chips were good but the salsa was on the watery side so it didn't carry any spice. I would say the place gave better service than the quality of the food.

    Molcajete

    Chilaquiles with papas and eggs
    Virginia D.

    Good vibe here. Music is a little loud for a Sunday morning. Had chilaquiles with eggs and potatoes. The potatoes had more peppers than potatoes. It was ok. Corn tortillas were homemade. Beans Delicious! Delicious cafe de Olla. Good Customer Service is good

    Molcajete
    Jacquelyn R.

    The Molcajete is bomb.com enough for 3 people , only thing is they only give you 2 tortillas, should come with at least 3/4, we Hispanic lol come on now. Beer is always pretty warm. Service is good and it's a good place to sing if that's your thing .

    The sope, after I cut it up. Delicious
    Janette M.

    Service was great. I had a bean and cheese sope, al pastor taco and chocoflan to go. The sope was bigger than average. It tasted freshly made, thin and crispy. The al pastor taco was packed with meat and it was delicious. The chocoflan, I had one bite and than my son devoured it. Definitely recommend this place.

    Chicken Flautas $8.00
    Marlene C.

    I ordered from Grubhub. They came up as a taco Tuesday deal. I ordered the $8.00 chicken Flautas, which is 4 rolled chicken tacos with lettuce, tomato, & crema. It didn't have guacamole, which I was surprised as most Flautas come with sour cream & guacamole. We also ordered the taco Tuesday $1.50 tacos. We got the 2 papas (potato) hard shell tacos as well as 2 carnitas & 1 al pastor. The papas tacos had lettuce, tomato, and crema. The other meat tacos had cilantro, onions, & nopal. Which was different for me. I've never had nopal on a taco & not a fan so I picked it off. The carnitas were juicy with flavor. The al pastor tacos had a lot of fat & wasn't what I expected. I did add the two green salsas they sent onto my tacos. It was mild. I'm not a fan of red salsa, so I didn't try the one they sent. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try them in person as my tacos were soggy from being in a container. Also they didn't send complimentary chips & salsa like most places do. So I took off a star for soggy tacos & no chips/salsa.

    Wow!!! Camarones al mojo de ajo!! O camarones al aceite!!!!

They brought a bottle from home, since this place allows free corkage for first bottle, what a nice service to provide wine glasses for your wine! Ordered several things and all good with a couple standouts. This place has good sauces to dip seafood into, to provide the extra flavors I am always looking for. - fresh sourdough & whipped butter = always my pleasure! - calamari, crab cakes = fried well and tasty appetizers with the sauce. - oyster sampler = got to try 3 of them, all were very fresh and good! - sand dabs = satisfying big pieces, could use some more of the sauce over it. surprised there isn't any rice or fries for the sides, which would make this dish more satisfying. mac n cheese was ok for me, but kid loved it when brought the leftovers home:) - soft shell crabs (southern fried) = wow, this was easily my favorite thing! 2 big soft shell crabs fried to perfection with tasty tartar sauce. Those crabs were delicious, would love to get this again!!! Never had whole soft shell crabs like this, only the small pieces appetizer at sushi joints. This was a much more enjoyable way to eat those soft shell crabs! - clam linguini = got a taste, pretty good. all about the sauce I guess. - seafood chowder = got a spoonful to try with a chunk of fish. like a vegetable soup with seafood flavors, wow, this was also very delicious and the fish chunk was fresh and perfect! - also got the fish n chips, but forgot to take pics = big thick chunks of cod was quality and delicious. but kinda pricey for fish n chips, so made sure to get the 3 piece for averaging cost down, lol. Enjoyed it here, so many more things to try too...

They didn't go cheap with the scallops. They were indeed giants! The Garlic Butter Queen Clams came in a sizzling plate and the sauce on the shells was bubbling when the plate arrived. How appetizing! I found the clams overcooked and therefore chewy but I still like them. The crab fried rice with shrimp was the perfect accompaniment to the other seafood we ordered. It was loaded with good portion of crab meat and super savory! The place was as loud as it can get. And the service was fast and efficient. We sat and got out with happy tummies within an hour.

Even though they offer Yelp check-in, you'll still be waiting a good while after they tell you to "check in with the host." So come prepared to wait. Now, the FOOD. Hands down, some of the best seafood dishes around! Everything is so well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The servers are also super friendly and attentive, which definitely helps make the experience better. Just know that this restaurant is BUSY. Do not come expecting a quiet, slow-paced meal. The food comes out quickly, the place is loud because it's packed, and you can definitely feel the hustle and rush. But honestly? I keep craving the food here, so I brave the crowds and come back anyway. It's THAT good. One thing to note: definitely ask the servers about the menu, but don't feel like you have to order everything they recommend. Our server raved about the coconut prawns, which were $60, and unfortunately, they were not worth it for me. Long wait, loud atmosphere, questionable $60 prawns... but I'd still come back for the seafood.
