😠 The ambience is upbeat. The food is not worth the price and it's flavorless. The corn was still cold when kt should have been hot. I do not recommend this place. The piña colada was terrible too. People often mention good, time, service, waitress, shrimp, music, loud, drinks, restaurant, family,

    For been father's day the wait time was short and was seated pretty fast. But things went south pretty fast with a waitress that could not get an order of drinks right. Order the fajitas trio, worse I have had. All the meats were over cooked very dry, the rice so hard and dry. Got the food waited and waited to get silverware waitress disappeared 15 mns later food cold by now finally got silverware. Tasted the food and it taste dry and overcooked.Manager try to explain that it was because it was busy. Very disappointed with this place!

    I did not like the flavor, it is really hard to find a good Mexican seafood restaurant, if someone could recommend me one I will really appreciate it.

    Small family owned seafood restaurant in north side has been here for a long time. They specialize in seafood but also have a few other staples. We came with a party of 7 and the food came out fast. The server was amazing. She checked on us frequently to make sure everything was running smoothly.

    The service was horrible. I ordered the loaded oysters or whatever they're called. Those were really good. I also ordered the ceviche cocktail which was really good. The queso wasn't good. A family member I was dining with said that their fries were cold and fried catfish was not very good and the salad it came with was not good. The salsa was okay and the chips were good. I would come back for the cocktail and oysters and I would like to try something different and give it a try. Only if I have a different waitress.

    Went there last Sunday, music way too loud for a Sunday evening. Not enjoyable at all. Then the food.... Ordered the shrimp Ceviche and had to return it. Mind you I have worked the food industry most of my work life . The shrimp was raw and tasteless. Then the service , mediocre at best. Asked for napkins to one of the servers and she looked at me like why don't you ask someone else. Did not acknowledge my request at all. She turned around got the napkins and put them in front of me without saying a word. Most of the staff acted like they didn't want to be there. Did I mention the loud music? I will not return to this establishment.

    the service is terrible! Definitely not worth the wait. It took 20 minutes to get our drinks. We ask for appetizers never got them. When she took our order we asked about our appetizers she said they would be right out. 55 minutes later... everything came out at the same time. Never got a drink refill. We try to wave her down several time, but she and the rest of the staff ignored our desperate plea for condiments and refills.. finally had to walk to the bar to get service. She never once came to the table to check on us.

    Had the beef fajitas, they were room temperature, and chalk filled with gristle. The wait staff seemed to try their best to accommodate but they didn’t seem like the most experienced at customer service. And to save the worst for last. This place had a DJ and the music was easily 120 decibels… about what you would expect at a live concert experience. We had a large group but no one could talk before, during nor after the meal. I was highly disappointed that when we asked if they could bring it down the DJ would bring it down for thirty seconds and then it was right back up. This place seemed to have an owner that wants to re-live his or her glory days back in the club. This place was not for dancing not did it convert into a club. The DJ keep the gains at the same blasting capacity all evening. Don’t waste your time here. It’s a restaurant but doesn’t provide a a remotely enjoyable dinning experience. To be clear, stay away from here.

    Watch your receipt. They will charge you Tio automatically with 3 people. This place was good. But this kinda sneaky service. No good. Not to mention all the mistakes the waiter made.

    The food was not good. We ordered drinks with 3 shots extra paid 8.99 per extra shot plus the drink on a 12 oz cup you do the math. Yeah exactly a rip-off. Waitress took forever to bring drinks and when told about bringing wrong one she said well thats what the bartender gave me. So bad food, bad service!!

    Food is not the best. Pretty bland but edible. Music is loud but some people like that. It’s pretty pricey and does not reflect the food. Maybe a good place to get some drinks but not the best to eat with the family.

    Went yesterday arrived at 6 pm, we literally were the only family there the waitress took our order by 6:19, by 6:25. Two other patrons entered the restaurant we asked our waitress what the status for our friend tilapias she stated due to the type of fish it would take a little longer at 6:45 the other families who arrived 20 mins after us had their food including fried fish which we were told it would take a time to cook when we asked again the waitress had to go find the cook as he wasn’t even in the kitchen anymore by then it was 6:58 and our food wasn’t even in the process of being cooked I don’t know if the waitress didn’t put the order in or the cook over looked it but we asked for status every 15/20 mins for someone to notice something wasn’t right

    Had a feast here. Wanted to try a few dishes out and they were all really good. Shrimp cocktail was great. Had some dish with octopus that was spicy and delicious. Just wish it had a bit more octopus but all in all no complaints. Will go back to this place.

    The flavor of everything was on point! And the portions are large, more than worth the price. I loved the variety of seafood I had on my plate as well. We will be back!

    First time I ate there about 2 years ago was fantastic. This time the food was horrible and we had service problems. Waitress got my order wrong and had to send it back. Asked for queso sauce over entire plate and no queso sauce. My wife said her food was terrible also. The prices increased by a lot since first visit. We will never return.

  • 5/5 Jasmine Vergara A. 9 months ago on Google
    The food was very delicious but our waitress Janet was phenomenal. She was super sweet and quick to attend us. Everything was wonderful. The only negative thing I would say was the music was way too loud therefore we decided to sit outside.

    Went back for the 2nd time today with the family and over all it was way worse today. First of all they play the music way to loud. Had to ask them to turn it down so we can talk to each other. They charge $4 a glass of lemonade and no refills they didn't tell us. We spent $32 on lemonade, ridiculous. The shrimp was not fresh fried, it tasted too chewy. The waitress needs to be trained at being a waitress. Every time we needed her she was braiding the other waitresses hair, never checked on us until we summoned her. Come on, this is a restaurant. And they force mandatory tip for party of 6. They did not notify us as required by the state before ordering. Not going back. Recalled that they charged the mandatory tip on our party of 5 on the previous visit. I'm definitely not going back with a party of 4 or more. These guys force a high tip on anything and the service is terrible!!! Food can be good when made fresh. Not always the case. Everything was very tasty today. It was our first visit here and it was good! Definitely trying again! Mom had the Shrimp Diablos and they were very good! Used her diablo sauce for my fried shrimp as spicy cocktail sauce. They don't have shrimp cocktail sauce, wow. My fried shrimp was very good and large. Wife had the fish and shrimp caldo, it was also very tasty! Next time we are trying to the drinks.

    Marcella was an excellent server and made sure my group was well taken care of. The fish was sooo good, the salsa had a really good flavor, and do not leave without the mangonada

    If you are look for a fancy and beautiful place to eat, this is not the right one. BUT if you are looking for the best seafood you will ever try, please come to this restaurant. My husband ate a whole red snapper and I ordered cat fish stuffed with shrimp. Both plates were super delicious. If you want to eat amazing seafood, you have to try this place.

    Customer Service was Great. She was very Nice. I ordered the molcajete and the food was toasted (quemada). I couldn't tell what my sausage was, and my fish fillets were so greasy. The taste was Awful. The tilapia fish empanizado was good though. Overall, I paid $60 and left hungry. It was disappointing. Especially for being my 1st time there.

  • 4/5 Yessica D. 1 year ago on Google
    For the reviews this place has my experience wasn’t as bad as expected. The food was good, warm and tasty. Definitely could use more waitresses with a more welcoming face. We got seated by whom I believe is the Manager as her apparel was different from the waitresses. She did not great us properly we simply got asked if we wanted a booth or table and got seated. It’s okay for what it is don’t expect A1 service because you will be very disappointed.

    Food is not authentic mex food,drinks took along time to come out and service was very slow. The waitress was nice enough to remove the appetizer since everything took so long to come out.our first round of drinks were very good though ,we ordered them at the bar while we waited to be seated.

  • 4/5 E M. 3 years ago on Google
    The place has delicious food, great food presentation, friendly service, good feel for the environment of the place but it could be cleaner. Good happy hour times too, I think it’s from 2-6/7 I can’t remember the exact times but the margaritas were on point.

  • 2/5 Rita V. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was subpar at best, and the music was so loud it was difficult to hear the waitress or talk to anyone at my table. They had karaoke going on, which is fine if that's what you are looking for. I went on a Sunday afternoon, which for me I like a laid-back environment, so not exactly what I'd want on a Sunday afternoon with family. The TVs were also on which for some of my family was enjoyable.
