Good clean place. Will give you clicker to let you know your order is ready. Fish taco was fresh, crunchy, ate well with two tortillas. Slaw was crisp with tomatoes and onions. Accompanying green salsa was spicy but full of flavor. The crema salsa went well with the fish taco. Will definitely return. Clean tables with people cleaning them and in the shade in a fenced in area. Recommend.

This is honestly the best seafood place I have ever tried. I have tried seafood from LA to other places in the country. Hands down the best place. I order the empanadas de camarón 10/10, tostada de Cameron cosido 10/10, and the fish tacos 10/10. I really like the green salsa it was spicy. The service was amazing they made me feel welcome.

This is hands down the best seafood place I have visited, ever! All of the dishes were outstandingly delicious and I wan not able to pick a favorite as all were just exceptionally good. The shrimp empanadas with the sauce were amazing, and the aguachiles just perfection in their black sauce. The Camarones encabronados were gourmet, shrimp with a spicy kick with a hint of garlic were tender and buttery. You just have to go and try it, its addicting.
