    I wasn't impressed. The food was ok. (I didn't get sick.) But everything felt dirty. I won't be back.

  • Great place. Lively. Lots of decorations but it doesn't feel cramped. The red snapper arrives whole at your table. Chose a sauce (chipotle!) and then you just start picking away at it's sides. Fresh and delicious. I came with family but the lively atmosphere made it feel like we there to celebrate. And! Margarita, delish!

    Went with a group of friends late night and had the fahitas. Good food and you have to try the Margarita with 1800 shot... Simple tradtional mexican food

  • This is a mexican seafood restaurant - a taste of Cabo or Puerto Vallarta. Don't expect to get a good steak burrito. The wall of tequilas is fun to browse. All the seafood is beautifully presented, with grilled vegetables usually. Serving sizes are massive. Parking is a problem. I used to live in the neighborhood and go back more often now that I no longer live close by.
