All food presented beautifully, but taste the same. I love spicy food, real spicy. The color red food doesn't mean spicy. Heavily sauced for chicken, seafood and beef, they tasted all the same. It is very expensive for the quality.
Has way to many tables that are to close together. Not enough room to be eating without someone bumping into you. The mix drinks are watered down so that the waiter can sell you a shot of alcohol to add to your bill. Bartender took lessons on how to take away from enjoying a good drink. Food was good freshly cooked. Nopalito was not cut instead was served as a big piece of cactus. The restaurant cold use some guidance with fire hazard and occupancy. To many people and tables close together can cause serious injuries or possible death when needing to evacuate during an emergency. Code compliance should go by on Friday or Saturday when most busiest. To many tables not enough room for waiters to deliver food.
The food was alright, large portions but it wasn't different from a Patio brand TV box dinner. I don't think they used any spices to give a wow! "that was amazing" 4 or 5 star rating.
Great environment and service, authentic Mexican seafood, absolutely delicious! A little on the pricey side for just two people and a $120 bill, but I don't regret eating here. Will visit again for another special occasion. Only thing I would change is the size of their to-go cups. ???? We always order our drinks in to-go cups and they said their 12-ounces was the regular size. Other than that, everything was delicious.
The restaurant's facade may need a fresh application of paint, but once you enter the different appetizing smells will make your stomach growl in a good way!
The prices are reasonable and the food is yummy! The wait staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food they are serving.
My favorite? Anything with fish (smile) I had the fried fillet with rice, beans and a small salad. Delicious.
