Nice place, plenty of space and great customer service. But the food is not so good missing the flavor. I tried the 7 mares soup and the shrimp soup but none were my favorite. I'll try something different next time

Chips n salsas are great to start. Customer service is great. Had the enchiladas and Ceviche. The Ceviche couldve been better. Enchiladas were taste though. The lime margaritas were awesome

The one thing I always look forward to is green jalapeno cream salsa. I love their tostada de ceviche this time I got half dozen of oysters. The owners are super nice and attentive. I've been coming to this place for about 4yrs and they never disappoint. Even though it looks full there is always a table available in my experience. Oh yeah, the lunch specials are also really good, for sure.
