    Fire ass spot. The Chamoy cocktail whatever it is, is really good. The whole red snapper with Diablo sauce or whatever is so good. It's the only thing I'll get there. I wish I still had the photos I took.

    This place absolutely deserves a higher rating! Love, love, love this place. Neighborhood seafood staple serving massive entrees of fantastic Mexican dishes. The crab legs and the whole snapper (huachinango) are to die for. Service is fast and attentive and they are usually very nice. Beachside vibes with a cool wall of vintage tequila bottles, usually always a game on the tube and the hottest Latino hits on the playlist. Do not sleep on this spot, weekends it is crazy but during the week it's very easy to walk-in.

    We enjoyed margarita pitchers at this cute spot for cinco de Mayo. These are not shown because we drank them too fast! It was a nice day out so we took advantage of their outdoor seating which did not take away from the attentive service. The guacamole was good but a bit boring/not very flavorful. The calamari was DELICIOUS. I would solely go back for that and another margarita. I was wishing I had leftovers for the next day. I am honestly surprised this place was not more crowded!

    This place is FABULOUS! I loved every single food I've had, along with margarita. The waitress was very nice and restaurant is spacious. They offer chili oil type of salsa as a complimentary and it's delicious. I recommend to people who enjoy Mexican seafood.
