I had a great meal at this place, but I could see where if you misordered, you could leave disappointed (as many others have). If you really study the menu, this place excels in Mexican seafood stews. I know having a boiling hot stew in the Texan summer may not be enticing, but I had the "Levanta Muertos" (=raise the dead), and it was a winner. It was basically like a Mexican hot pot: fish, squid, octopus, crab (!), scallops (maybe), and shrimp in a super spicy stew that is made even spicier by the addition of tree chilis, raw jalapenos, and one other kind of chili. The chilis come on a side plate, similar to pho, so you can make it as spicy as you like. I went all in and was drenched in sweat to where even the wait staff was laughing at me. The stuff my friends got did not look nearly as good. The tortillas were sub-par, though I did like their super spicy salsa. If you like seafood and spicy food, as well as soups and stews, give this place a try. If you want fat-kid Tex-Mex (enchiladas, queso, fajitas, crispy tacos, etc.), go elsewhere. The atmosphere is straight out of Mexico, and we were the only white people there (which is a good thing in my opinion, as clearly people in the know like this place).
