A moment for the handmade tortillas, the best I've ever had!!! Like the reviews below mention, cash only, food is made to order, hole in the wall restaurant, very local vibes. * Tacos Gobernador (5/5) - hot cheesy tomato garlic shrimp on top of the best best best soft tortillas * Tostada Camaron (4/5) - tasty, large portions, but a bit messy to eat Absolutely loved it. Our server was very kind. read more

I have been to sooooo many Nayarit style restaurants, and as Korita myself, I can say this place hits it right on the nail! I love it, specially the atmosphere, it's a sit in quiet restaurant which is a lil unusual, normally there's live loud music at these restaurants which is okay, but at times we just wanna sit in and enjoy a game on tv. Which this place brings. The food is amazing!!! The service is great, it's a must try restaurant if you want to try real Mariscos estilo Nayarit. Me Rete-encantó! El ambiente es tranquilo, comes agusto, y está muy delicioso. El servicio es excelente, la señora es muy amable. Pero la comida es mi favorita. Se puede ver tele mientras comes muy agradable, las aguas frescas de Ciruela está... ufff bien buena. Siendo Tuxpeña, puedo decir que la comida está deliciosa. La campechana con Ostion- caliente es mi favorita. El robalo zarandeado... muy recomendado. Gracias Rincon de Guayabitos #2 por su amabilidad y sabrosa comida! read more

I finally got to try this restaurant just in time for heritage month! The restaurant is located in a small plaza. There's also street parking. Make sure you read the signs. I believe Monday is when hours are restricted. The restaurant is on the smaller side with 7 booths and tables. It's family owned and operated. The restaurant was very busy but nonetheless the service was great! I believe the granddaughter was taking care of my friend and I. We ordered 2 shrimp empanadas with cheese, a tostada mixta, a taco gobernador, a taco de camaron, and a side of rice & beans. While the food was getting prepared, she brought out chips and salsa to snack on. The chips were warm, and the salsa was bold and spicy. The empanadas came out first. They were delicious! They're about palm-sized stuffed with cheese and shrimp. The masa itself is tasty. I think they add a sauce to it. I poked small holes in my empanadas to let the steam out. Their ceviche is made Estilo Nayarit with shredded carrots, fish chopped as fine as possible, and shrimp made in two styles: half cooked in lime and half cooked in salted water. A yummy must-try! The taco gobernador has the option to be ordered with medium spice or spicy. I went with medium spice, which tasted more on the mild side to me. Great flavor! The taco de camaron is made with fried shrimp and topped with onion, cilantro, repollo, y aguacate.The tacos were made with tortilla a mano which were thick and fluffy. Both tacos were good. I think the salsa on the gobernador taco elevated the taco more, so I enjoyed that one more. Overall, I had a great experience! I will be back to try other dishes. Definitely give this restaurant a try if you love mariscos! read more

The food here is delicious with so much flavor! We really enjoy the pescado zarandeado, langostinos a la cucaracha ( so flavorful with good spice!) If you're not a fan of spicy salsa skip the green one they serve you while you wait for your food items. It's extremely spicy but addictive. The sauce from the langostinos, don't waste it! Add it to your rice or zrandeado w/ a tortilla. Friendly wait staff & service is always great! Might not be your beautiful/cute ambiance but the food makes up for all of it! read more

This is a Mexican seafood place. They have tacos, empanadas, tostadas, soups all available in seafood only. The food is tasty I had the shrimp tacos which were good. I also ordered the shrimp empanadas, they were okay. although I took some home for my brother and he said his were breaded for the taco, mine were not. The beans here are fantastic. I told my mom they were betters than hers and we both laughed. No really they were very good! Its a small place with music that was being played was way too loud. I could hardly hear my mom talking. Music was good but loud. Oh and only cash! read more

Hole on the wall restaurant was one of the Best mariscos ever!! I have never thought mariscos can taste as good as this place. Must try food that we tried: shrimp Empanada was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, Sarandeado style grilled fish wowed me, never tried anything like this before, it was so delicious and perfectly cooked. Langostino te Acordaras, fried then braised prawns, spicy but really good sauce. Shrimp ceviche tostada had a really nice and different flavor. We really enjoyed everything including the Michelada. We can't wait to go back and try other stuff on the menu!! read more

First things First patience you must have patience here. And its worth the wait. The food is made to order, its fresh and delicious. We ordered a tostada de ceviche, zarandiado, tacos de pescado and oysters. Everything was delicious and worth the wait, and will be coming back here again.

Driving around Old Town La Puente, you'll totally miss this AMAZING taco (Mexican food) spot! Don't make that mistake! If you do, you'll miss out on some of the absolute BEST fish tacos in the city! Seriously, I'm addicted. I ordered two, despite whatever else I may want to order. That complimentary side of langostino salsa elevates the fish tacos to heavenly status! Ugh, I want some NOW! I've had the gubanador tacos as well, and they are freaking delicious. Shrimp, caramelized onions, red sauce and soooo much cheese....that cheese!!!! Wow. Best part of dining here, you'd be supporting a small business trying to survive in an area that the city has begun to gentrify. Places like this, with food this good DESERVE to be here! The customer service is always top notch, too: friendly and accommodating. You know what? That's it, I'm stopping in for dinner. read more

You know those hole in the wall places that always end up having thee best food, this is one of those. Only downside is it's cash only so hot up the atm before. We ordered ceviche de camaron, a variety of tacos, and a mojarra frita. The standout for me was the ceviche de camaron, it was perfection, and I'm picky when it comes to ceviche. The service was fast and friendly, overall I wish I lived closer so I could frequent this place more. read more

My sister introduced me to Rincon De Guayabitos No. 2! I've never been to a seafood only Mexican restaurant and it was truly an amazing experience. It's family owned and the staff were so friendly - you feel so welcomed. Every single item that we ordered was delicious. I especially loved and still think about the shrimp empanadas. Yum! The shrimp taco was also delicious! They make all their salsa and tortilla in house and you'll get addicted. If you want the fresh fish (a must!), make sure to call ahead and they can save one for you! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Get ready to leave happy! Also, it's cash only. read more

It was okay! The service was great. I don't think we're going back. I read the reviews and all said was super delicious.

Delicioussss food made to order by one person! This is a tiny little hidden gem with amazing empanadas de camaron! (You really cannot leave without trying them.) We shared the langostinos and they were also suuuuper flavorful but you have to watch out for the spice it packs; I really appreciate that they give you the option between mild, medium, and very spicy. The only items I wasn't crazy about was the coctel de camaron and the tostada de camaron; they were;t bad by any means they just do not compare to the other first two dishes we tried. The chips & salsa are a nice tasty bonus. Darla was our server and she was lovely; she answered allll of the questions we had and gave us a ton of information and recommendations. This is when she told us that her grandma is the one that cooks everything herself. This is a great spot to catch up or grab a quick bite because it's so small. Last comment, they sell beer and an assortment of fun drinks to accompany your meal. read more

Wonderful service the manager Darla was so friendly and fast. She explained the menu and the owner allowed me to take pictures of her preparations. A beautiful and cozy reminder of the beaches of Mexico! read more

Friendly and welcoming small mariscos restaurant in La Puente. As others have mentioned, the pesacdo zarandeado is excellent. We also had the camarones cucarachas, which were great as well. Can't wait to return. read more

Wanted to start off by saying that the customer service was 10/10! Darla was suuuper sweet and made my first time at the restaurant the best! I tried about 4 different dishes and my absolute favorite things were the Langostinos (literally drooling thinking about them again) and the Empanadas de Camarón. Darla mentioned that her grandma cooks all the food (which is always made fresh right when you order) and woow you can taste it. The ambiance is super laid back and chill, they even serve some alcohols! The chips and salsa they give you are also delicious. It's a cash only place BUT they do accept zelle as well! I'm definitely coming back and am so happy I live close by! read more

This family run restaurant is a gem. We walked in today and were treated with such warm and welcoming hospitality from Darla and her family. We ordered the shrimp and octopus cocktail (highly recommend), shrimp and octopus raw ceviche, shrimp and cheese empanadas (my favorite), and fish as well as shrimp tacos. Neighboring table with a larger group ordered the grilled fish (Sarandeado style) and the Langoustine Te Acordaras. They looked amazing and scrumptious. Excited to try those on my next visit. Easy parking in the lot and located near the old charming Main Street of La Puente. read more

Excellent food and service! Loved the shrimp empanadas and fresh seafood. Definitely will be back!

This is one of those random hole-in-the-wall cafe's that surprise you with the quality of the food! I was feeling rather sick today, so my review may be a little off but I think even if I was feeling 100%, I'd still give this place a 4/5. I ordered the shrimp ceviche tostada. It was my first experience with ceviche. I had heard so many good things about ceviche but my experience with it wasn't amazing; so at first, I was pretty disappointed with the restaurant. But then, I had the shrimp taco and IT WAS SO GOOD. I think they make the corn tortillas themselves and so it tasted really fresh. The flavor they added to the shrimp really hit the spot for me. The taco was a 5/5. In terms of go to date spots, it's not super romantic or in proximity to any fun date activity spots. But I'd recommend it if you're looking for an authentic Mexican seafood restaurant! -Camille read more
