The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. I got the chili rellanos and it was one of the best I've ever had.

This place is AMAZING! I was in the area and looking for a highly rated restaurant, and yelp led me here with the positive reviews. The food here is literally perfection! The food tastes incredibly fresh and packed full of flavor. The salsa is one of the best I've ever had. We ordered the street tacos, Baja and grilled fish tacos. All were a 100/10! The flavor absolutely hit the spot, and then some! Our server, Yoselin, was so personable and accommodating. The ambiance is absolutely instagram-worthy with outdoor seating with string lights, and inside showcasing beautiful murals, an awesome backdrop to take photos, and a disco ball. This place is family owned-and they really make you feel like part of the family. This is a true gem that everyone needs to go to! I have found my favorite Mexican restaurant! Also-their margaritas are out of this world! They also have every flavor imaginable!

I visited this location when they newly opened and I'm glad we came back! Great spot for drinks & the food was delicious! My husband and I came in for dinner Friday night around 7pm. There were only a couple tables taken at the time and it looked like the Karaoke Host was just getting set-up. He was kind enough to double check that we were comfortable with the volume as we sat directly under 2 main speakers. Our server was also kind and she checked on us regularly. Service was great our entire stay. Karaoke host was trying his best to hype the crowd but it didn't get lively til' about 8:30 when it got busier. We ordered a regular michelada and a piña and they were both good. Though I preferred the regular over the piña! (In my personal opinion) But the piña is still good if you like sweet! For our main we went with the Pescado Zarandeado and it was a great plate to share! Came topped with Jaiba & shrimp from what I can tell. It was great & in our opinion, worth the price! Definitely coming back!

Chips & salsa

Beyond amazing food! First time back since the renewal opening. Environment was nice and clean along with very friendly servers. Very pretty mural paints about. Highly recommend, more than just mariscos!

Shrimp taco
Peter T.

Not sure why I was here, my friend wanted to go here, but it was cool nonetheless. The food here is pretty good, the chips and salsa was nice. I ordered the pazole and it was one of the best I've ever had. Not overly seasoned,'it came with two rolled potato tacos which were pretty good. I also ordered a shrimp taco, it was $9, it was good but I wouldn't wanna pay $9 for one taco again. But overall I would come back just not anytime soon.

Baja Fish Tacos + Jamaica

I frequently drive past this place and decided to stop in today for lunch. I was greeted immediately and was told to sit wherever I liked. The place was clean and Spanish oldies were playing. I ordered their Jamaica and two Baja fish tacos. The agua fresca was delicious. Food had great portions and the cheese between the two tortillas added a unique touch. Overall a great experience and would come back.

Great food, outstanding service, and an amazing ambiance! We tried almost all of the tacos, and every single one was a 10/10. The staff brought out every salsa they had, and honestly, each one was to die for. We also ordered drinks, the Tamarindo and the traditional micheladas, both of which were so refreshing and delicious. The ceviches were my personal favorite- fresh, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff made sure we felt taken care of the entire time and even surprised us with complimentary Mexican shots to end the night. Truuuuuuly the perfect way to wrap up our evening. We left with full bellies and happy hearts. This is the kind of place you want to come back to again, and again, and again. We'll definitely be back!

Fish and shrimp tacos
Sonny V.

When I'm craving seafood, this spot is a good choice because I can have a variety of food choices. Tonight it's tacos and I got fish and shrimp. Healthy large portions. The place has some decent seating with nice lighting. The service is great. Waitress was very attentive to ensuring the customers are taken care of.

Heaven on earth !
Bobby B.

This is by far the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to, the flavor of the food is out of this world. We randomly ended up here while we waited for our car to get fixed and it ended up being an amazing day . Our waitress, Yoselin, was amazing, the ambience was amazing. I stand by mom and pop places being the best place you will ever have food at . It's family owned and you can feel the love in all the flavors of the food with the freshest ingredients. Places like this deserve to have every table packed from open to close.

Laura R.

My husband and I were there during lunch. We had the grilled fish and the Baja style tacos. So yummy Size of the tacos were a good portion. The ambiance is is beautiful, loved the murals on the ceiling and the table lighting. Can't wait to go back for Micheladas and karaoke.

Service was great, food was delicious, they got a live band and it's a Friday night. I enjoyed my time here.

My girlfriend flew down from the Bay Area to treat me for a belated birthday meal 2 weeks ago and I…read moremade the lunch reservation at Qua. She had seen the Afternoon Tea and had been interested but as it was a Tuesday she could not avail herself of it. My family had been unable to take me to my choice of a birthday meal. We would have an event to go to in the evening and to make sure we had at least one meal in our busy day I made a reservation for Afternoon Tea on the website for 3:30 PM on Friday. In that way, everybody could get there from work. We arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation and were shown shortly to our table. I'm glad that our Afternoon Tea would be indoors because it was quite humid. Noah would be our server. We asked for help with our tea choice as we were debating between Jasmine Pearl and Jasmine Blossom. Noah made a good recommendation with the Jasmine Pearl. We liked it so much that we had 3 pots adding water. Noah also offered a choice of another tea to the delight of the young ladies in our party who wanted a black tea having worked early morning shifts. They chose the Earl Grey. Noah let us know that even though it was a set menu that we could add on other food from the menu. The young ladies seriously considered ordering sesame Dan Dan noodles before the delivery of the 2-3 tier serving stands with sweet and savory delights from the kitchen. The manager or one of the leads from the kitchen introduced the offerings on the 3 tiers. There were 2 savory tiers which are the middle and bottom. The bottom tier has Honey Walnut Shrimp Youtiao, BBQ Pork Puff Pastry, and Tea Egg Sandwich with Taiwanese bread. The middle tier is your vegetable crudite with whipped tofu and chili crunch and flatbread. The top tier is your sweet desserts of mango sago pudding (the ladies appreciated the garnishing with a small, delicate flower), egg tart with raspberry and a fleck of gold, fresh strawberry slices, and black sesame cookies with an extra one for the member of our party with a coconut allergy. Each of the 4 in our party also was delivered a bamboo steamer with 3 plump Siu Mai. The very plump Siu Mai had everybody looking for vegetables which we liked with the whipped tofu and chili crunch which we have eaten in the Mapo Lamb Dip. We liked scooping up the whipped tofu with the flatbread. Other teas give you miniscule portions. The pork puff pastry is generous and we had to go halfsies or we wouldn't have room for dessert. The most favored item was the honey walnut shrimp youtiao which we have not had anywhere else. The tea egg sandwich is topped with a quarter of a hard-boiled egg giving you more egg. The raspberry on the egg tart was fresh and sweet. The strawberry slices were also fresh and sweet. The half of the party that could have the mango sago pudding enjoyed it tremendously. The black sesame cookies were buttery and nutty which was wonderful to have with the jasmine pearl tea. We had plenty to eat and a few pastries and Siu mai to take home. We were in no way rushed so we really enjoyed our Afternoon Tea. Regular customers were seated elsewhere in the restaurant and it was quite peaceful and restful after a hard day's work. This is a great Afternoon Tea to bring a mother, too. My daughter found out that the tea service used was from Williams Sonoma Famille Rose collection. My taste is more contemporary, but roses are my favorite flower and it was still a nice tea setting. I loved my belated birthday tea as did everyone in my party even the man of the family. I will need to bring my girlfriends. My father would enjoy this as well. We're so glad that Qua started having this Afternoon Tea.

*To-Go Review* My partner and I went to visit The Crawfish…read moreHut since there was a BOGO event so we got 2 lbs of head-on shrimp in total. We placed our order online and it took around 45 mins. We arrived at the restaurant and the cashier helped us right away. We got our order in a brown takeout bag and grabbed a few of their bibs & gloves. The bag definitely felt heavy. They double bagged our order so it would not spill whatsoever. They also gave us a bunch of sliced lemons and two containers of salt & pepper. Let me tell you, these shrimps were BIG. They were very meaty and super flavorful. I adored the seafood boil sauce that it comes in because it had SO much garlic and I really liked how tasty this was. The shrimp absorbed all the flavor, but it did not stop us from dipping it in more of the sauce to make it even more tasty! We even squeezed some of the lemon into the bag as well. It is such a messy meal, but so fun if you're a seafood lover. I think it's worth trying if you have never tried a seafood boil before. This was more of a Vietnamese-Cajun styled seafood boil, so I found it to be even more tastier!

I loved my experience at this restaurant, definitely recommend it, and will for sure be back again!…read moreTo start, the atmosphere is really nice with dim lighting and a bar in the middle for drinks! There is plenty of seating and a room that has more seating inside. For food we ordered bone marrow bibimbap, potato korokke, caviar cones, uni unagi chawanmushi, and for dessert, a banana miso cake! The bone marrow bibimbap was well flavored! After allowing us to take pictures, the server helped us scrap the bone marrow and mix the dish together. I enjoyed it a lot, however the rice was a bit hard for my liking. My favorite was the uni unagi chawanmushi which is a steamed egg with uni unagi on top! I loved that one and wished I had ordered more of it. The caviar cones were really tasty as well and there is a little bit of spice in it! Would definitely recommend try it! The potato korokke was also delicious! The sauce went great with it and it was fried perfectly (crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside). I also loved the flavor of the banana miso cake. The ice cream went great with the warm banana cake and the presentation was wonderful. Will definitely be ordering this dessert again!

Everything is very upscale. It is on the smaller side but surprisingly the restaurant was mostly empty. I have had this restaurant bookmarked since it opened but never had the chance to go. Happy I got to give it a shot, and I will definitely be coming back! Service was great. Very attentive server, busser, and bartender. Drinks 5/5: They have a full bar and they drinks are very well crafted. I ordered the Blue-Eyed Girl and the bartender mentioned the blueberry syrup being made from scratch. FOOD: Keep in mind that all of the dishes come with portions of 3 pcs - SPICY TUNA ON PUFFED RICE 5/5: So flavorful, not too much eel sauce as some places, and I loved that it was served on a rice cracker. Light and airy. - TRUFFLE POMME FRITES 5/5: Served piping hot and so fresh with just the right amount of truffle. - WAGYU SLIDERS 4.5/5: Tender and so flavorful. The buns were very slightly on the dry side but not very noticeable. - CAVIAR CONES 5/5: 3 cones for $18 is a steal! The creme fraise paired so well with the caviar. - HAMACHI CRUDO 5/5 - RAW OYSTERS 4.5/5: These were dressed very well. - BONE MARROW BIBIMBAP 5/5: Came out hot, crispy, and so good! The server was so sweet and brought us an additional bone marrow because our original piece barely had any. We were celebrating two birthdays and they offered two choice desserts on the house: - BANANA MISO CAKE 5/5 - CIR SORBET 5/5: The sorbet was so refreshing Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed everything here and on top of that, the menu was very decently priced. I am definitely coming back.

Whatever you order comes out of the kitchen in rapid order. So if you have to make a flight at LAX this might work for you (with some reservations to follow). I walked in and was reminded of my way to cool week in Cuzco only without the crushing headache from the altitude. The place is pretty inside with a beach front vibe to it. The walls are white with murals of fish in schools. The dining room is bright, attractive and filled with comfortable four tops with room to spread out. A cute Bar offers the usual suspects you'll find at a Latin resto to keep your appetizers company. The staff is practiced at getting your food from the kitchen to your table efficiently. Gabriel was focused on keeping the dishes coming and making suggestions when requested or required. At 5:00 PM the place was empty save for waiters waiting for the action to start. Make a nest and in a wink a Server will drop off a basket of house made Potato Chips as good as any Potato Chip ever dreamed of becoming. Salty, super crunchy, greaseless, they was. Truly memorable. Perfect just as they are, there was a bonus...a cup of Huanciana Peruvian Aji Chile and Potato Sauce to take a skinny dip in. Them chips were tasty treats you wish you could stop eating...but you simply can't. A Coconut Daiquri with Plantation Xaywaca (Rum), Salted Fermented Mango, Lime Acids, and Lemon Juice all in an Old Fashioned Glass and a large rock sprinkled with Shredded Coconut. A Rum Yummer and perfect with those magical Chips. The next dish out was the Piqueo Rocoto Mar which was a mas-o-menos tray of four square cups of Causa Shrimp, a fugitive from a bland Jambalaya, Fried Calamari, which were as chewy as an Air Jordon Tongue, Ceviche Mixto (with unknown raw fish) with Salmon Roe, and sadly none of this was remarkable. The last cup offered Grilled Octopus Tentacles which I stopped eating since I watched My Octopus Teacher twice. Being polite I cut off a hunk. It was Octo Chewing Gum. More time in the poaching liquid before grilling might have helped as the Mild Chili Sauce ladled over the Octo arms was decent enough. The Grilled Peruvian Scallops were excellent. Grilled just right, served in the shell with a Buttery Sauce and a sprinkle of Grated Parmesan Cheese. Pry the little buggahs out of their shell, and enjoy each and every one and finish by slurping the juice. Think of this as Peruvian Coquilles St. Jacques. Move the Scallops to the corner nearest you where you hid the last of those Potato Chips. The Acevichado was a Nikkei Style Sushi Roll, (two ample rows) and you know, all things considered, it was pretty good. Bluefin Tuna Loin, Acevichado Sauce (Aji Chili/Mayo Sauce), Sweet Potato Crunch (MIA), Togarashi (Japanese Chili Powder), and Panko which must have eloped with the Sweet Potato Crunch all in two tight rolls. Finally, the finale appeared. Aji di Gallina. Shredded Dakao Poultry Chicken with Creamy Walnut Sauce (masquerading as the ubiquitous Huancaina Potato-y Sauce), Aji Mirasol, (mild Peppers), Mashed Potatoes with Olives. Yes, the menu said Shredded Chicken so that was not a surprise. (Think Peruvian Tinga. I thought fridge clean out). However there were bits of skin hangin' on for dear life, and tendrils of stringy connective tissue like a spider web that followed each fork full that had to be pulled off the chicken. Bottom line it was Pollo de Bandas de Goma, para me, no gracias. Rocoto Pesaca Bar otra vez? Tal vez.
