“ Excellent food. Tasty and generous portions. Very good servers - attentive but not overbearing. Located in a somewhat "dumpy" neighborhood, but it has an authentic and laid back vibe to it. They do take credit cards. Their fish tacos are superb. Visited on a Tuesday for lunch and it was moderately busy with a mix of locals and tourists. Highly recommend this place that is somewhat off the beaten track and away from the tourist traps nearby. FYI lunch for 2 with a 10% tip turned out to be $24 USD. This included 2 beers, 2 water/juices, about 6 tacos, a couple of empanadas, and a shrimp cocktail. ”
“ Delicious food. My favorite and not the cheapest the pulpo one! Worth a try. Otherwise the other ones like pescadillo taco mentioned on the wall are also very good. I loved the tamarind sauce to add on our food. The place was nice. Only thing that must be improved is the woman’s washroom. First of all it was not easy to find it but quickly an employee showed me the way. Then, the bin in the toilet area was full and toilet papers were falling out. There were many on the floor. There was no more soap for the hands and the bin for the paper to dry your hands were also full and falling out. Absolutely unpleasant experience. My husband got lucky and was surprised to hear that because his washrooms were cleaned. The location is by the parking of the parque De las palapas. Quieter area. I normally don't put 5 stars when I see such of messy washrooms but employees were great, tables were clean, the restaurant has nice ambiance, etc. So just sharing here for them to ensure that next clients don't see that ever again. Most importantly, great seafood. ”
“ The ceviche mixto was quite good and great value for 70 pesos, the tuna tostada was also good value but a bit plain, but with the salsas it was enjoyable. We had a maracuya mojito and a piña colada, and thought they both needed work. Food is where the value is here, but the cocktails aren't worth what you pay. We also had a hard time getting our server's attention, but we would return to try more seafood. ”
“ A great little find!! Food was fresh and reasonably priced; good portions. Server was very kind. Flavor was good. ”
“ Oh my gosh! This place is dynamite. I was using google to try and find the best street food / seafood options near me and I stumbled on to this place. All I can say is wow! I dined here early evening after shopping at the nearby markets and I am so happy that I chose this place. I sat just inside and was able to people watch while also being able to enjoy the wonderful evening weather. I started with a dark beer michelada which was... incredible! And huge. It lasted through my entire meal. I had mixed ceviche, fish tacos and a tuna pescadilla. All were so very tasty. The food came out quickly. There was a fresh salsa bar and they gave three different sauces. I only tried the hot sauce and it was very good! I paid like 200 pesos for all including the tip, I thought there might be something wrong as this seemed too cheap but they insisted... I highly recommend this place! ”
