    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    Food was delicious ceviche tropical was super spicy I had fajitas mix all was delicious. Service guy was new but he was learning and I appreciated his hospitality very friendly and fixed my issues with service platter. Michelada was okay I saw an IG post about the michelada being great bit honestly I have had better. But I would be back just because the food was good. Music was good mix and not too loud. Place was clean and looked good. Thank you see you soon

    Amazing new place! The food was so fresh and authentic and I can't wait to try the whole menu! The place was such a vibe, karaoke on the weekends and they'll bring candy shots. Staff was so kind and accommodating, love that this place is a family owned business. The margaritas and Micheladas are the best around too! Check this place out!

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!

It's so refreshing to have such attentive service versus other restaurants who just want to turn over tables as quickly as possible. I wish I would have taken more photos, but we focused on our wine, food and conversation. I particularly liked the French Malbec, Neo. Our lunch started with their homemade chicken and cilantro soup, which was very tasty and had lots of chunky vegetables and chicken. I had the Tallarin Saltado, Surf & Turf, which was a stir fry of prime beef, shrimp, onions, tomato and spaghetti. I personally am not a fan of eating french fries in Lomo Saltado, so I wanted to try their Tallarin Saltado, since it also had spaghetti in it. It was delicious! About half of our group ordered this dish and everyone raved about it. The spices were so good and made you want to keep going back for another bite! Max brought us complimentary Flan to share for dessert. There are very few flans I like, because I'm more of a chocolate dessert person. However this one was very good and I would order it in the future. Speaking of which, I can't wait to go back and try their other dishes!
