Delicious sea food and very attentive service. Orders are in line with what you'd expect for this type of cuisine. The place is bare bones so don't expect anything fancy. Also, the parking may be an issue

This place is apparently well known from locals. It has a great variety of southern Mexico's sea food dishes. Prices are fine, I recommend everything at 'mojo de ajo' and their shrimp cocktails. Best around north part of Mexico's City.
