    This was the starting spot of our Vallarta Food Tours evening taco tour. It’s a charming place with fast service. I didn’t have a cocktail but they looked delicious. I had a mahi mahi taco. It was a good size and lightly breaded and fried. I’d definitely return to try more on the menu.

    Fresh and delicious! Friendly staff and excellent food we tried it on the Vallarta Food Tours Taco tour and came back. Everything was excellent. You must get the shrimp empanadas.

    Probably the best guacamole I've had in Puerto Vallarta and I always order a guacamole for a starter and this is a good indication of how the rest of the meal is going to be. The vegetables are incredibly fresh but what really is good about this restaurant is their smoke Marlin and their octopus, just outstanding. My wife and I ordered a smoked Marlon octopus burrito and it was enough for both of us. My son had seafood pasta and he is a fussy eater, he loved it.

    Amazing seafood restaurant. The Mussels Ajillo are a MUST! Absolutely loved the Shrimp Gabardina as well. Tacos were decent but my wife and I went back a 2nd time because of the Mussels Ajillo and Shrimp Gabardina. Staff is friendly and prices are fantastic for the quality of food you get. Don't skip the Octopus either. Both the tostada and the Octopus Ajillo were delicious.

    Deep fried whole fish red snapper is my favourite. Must have went there 5 times in 2 weeks :) My second favourite is … believe it or not, sea food pasta and I have been to Italy. The pasta dish has more seafood then the pasta itself - prawns that tasted like prawns, octopus,… delicious. The sea food is simply fresh and tasty. The staff provides exceptional service while we we’re there, I would like to call out the girl that seated us, and the two English speaking waiters Martin and Paul. All around great service good food for a very reasonable price. We saw food tours coming there too. You can’t go wrong if you like seafood. Will definitely go back next time we are in town.

    Soooo good! We went back twice. Seafood pasta was delicious and loaded with perfectly cooked octopus and shrimp. Smoked marlin tacos were also super flavorful. Seafood soup was a great price for the amount of seafood you get. Tried another popular seafood place a few streets down, and this one was definitely better.

    Fantastic accidental find when walking through town. Loved all the tacos, especially the marlin and shrimp. The large seafood cocktail with tostadas was excellent! The margaritas with spicy salt on the glass rim (not on the menu) were perfect and ridiculously inexpensive as was the entire meal. The two of us had a fantastic meal with plenty of food and (4) margaritas for $30 US dollars which included the tip. Try to give your servers at least 20% of your bill as they do work very hard and it is very little compared to what servers get in the states. Peace and love! ✌️😎

    Really enjoyed dining here! Place felt like true Mexican family owned diner vs touristic high end. Very friendly staff and delicious super affordable food. We loved everything ordered - ceviches, guac and octopus entree. Adding to this one - we went here yet again to try their famous fried red snapper and fish soup - all food was outstanding! It’s a cash only place. Highly recommend to check them out!

    I ordered shrimp and octopus burritas and, wow, it was the BEST EVER. Octopus main course was also super delicious. Also ordered handmade flan for dessert - yum! 10/10 recommend.

    There was a little line and 15 minute wait to get a table. It is a very traditional neighborhood place, rustic. The grilled snapper with garlic pepper sauce was stunning, the outside crispy and tasty, the inside moist and firm. The fish was 250 pesos (less than $14?)

    Cant say enough great things about this unpretentious and absolutely delicious seafood restaurant. I've tried ALMOST everything on the menu and its always been fresh and delicious. Make sure you leave room for dessert and order the Flan. Its homemade and the best you will ever have. Keep up the great work!

    Amazing food, try the fish with the spicy devils sauce. Also best Margaritas with amazing garnish

  • 3/5 Amy T. 4 months ago on Google
    Tried the red snapper, ceviche and seafood soup. Food was above average. Service was okay. I asked for Salsa Verde but the waiter just pointed to the sauces on the table. I had to specify what I wanted before he bought those out from the back. I guess I look too much like a tourist they don't care much.

    Very friendly service, great selection of seafood, everything we ordered was delicious and fresh. Went there twice during our stay and looking forward to going back! 🐙🐠🦀

  • 1/5 CDMX G. 1 year ago on Google
    I got violently ill from eating the grossly undercooked bacon on their bacon wrapped shrimp. I can not understand why it’s not universally understood that you cook one side of the bacon, let it cool, then wrap it around the raw shrimp with the cooked (but cooled) part on the inside. You DO NOT wrap the raw bacon around the raw shrimp, or you get dangerously undercooked bacon or disgustingly overcooked shrimp. Never returning!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Shrimp ceviche and aguachile were amazing great fresh flavors. Also recommend the piña rellana.

  • 5/5 Yuko J. 11 months ago on Google
    The best garlic octopus dinner. So tender and seasoned well. Coconut shrimp dinner was so good too. The dip for the shrimp is really tasty. My flan dessert was the best I've had. You'll dream about it.

    This restaurant is a must try if you are in town. Best red snapper in town with a very cheap. Shirimp ceviche on taco was also absolutely stunning. Friendly and very servers, fast serivce, the atmosphere here is also very mexican.

  • 3/5 Elizabeth P. 2 years ago on Google
    Walked 3 miles to get to this place.Too much rave about this it , it was alright. Pretty decent plate servings the ceviche was a lil too bitter for my taste. Shrimp Empanadas where good with the chipotle salsa. Fish was not available had to get the fillets.

  • 5/5 JEM H. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited this restaurant as part of the Vallarta Food Tours Taco tour. The fish taco during the tour was so good that we went back for dinner. The empanadas were really delicious, also the whole fried snapper. Friendly service, bright clean restaurant. Highly recommend!

    Good food at very reasonable prices! Fresh, tasty, and good service. I had the tostada de ceviche de pescado, taco de marlin ahumado and Chile relleno de marlin (jalapeño stuffed with marlin then battered and fried). All were excellent and the chipotle salsa was very good as well.

    Super wonderful, family owned restaurant! We came here on a food tour and it was so nice to hear a little bit of the history of the restaurant and the family that owns it. The hibiscus tea is amazing but don’t discount the pulpo (octopus) with pepper! It’s so delicious!

  • 5/5 Hektor G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great fish and shrimp tacos. Really recommend them. Also agua de jamaica, it's just right, not too sweet, just the perfect amount of sugar.

  • 5/5 docbardwell 2 years ago on Google
    What a gem Delicious fresh seafood in a small quiet spot Food is prepared in a traditional style with a bit of personality from the kitchen Their pulpo with garlic was tender and fresh and they had a fabulous Mahi stuffed with shrimp Better than at the beach without the wallet hurt
