Reviews
We ordered the mariscos platter with different variations of shrimp and fish and it fed my whole family of 6 with no problem. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The ceviche appetizer was so good too. Just be careful with the red and yellow chile because wow that was SPICY (and I have a high tolerance ). The green salsa was more of a medium spice for me.
We came for my dad’s birthday and they sang Happy Birthday and brought out a cupcake, which was such a nice touch. Toward the end, one of the cooks or waiters even gave my baby son a little chicken toy. That was such a sweet gesture.
The staff was very accommodating and friendly the whole time. Definitely recommend this place for a family lunch or dinner. We’ll be back!
The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because they increased their price for the crab legs. Used to be $50 and now it’s $70!!! If they increase it any further sadly I will no longer be buying crab legs from here.
With that said, when I order the crab legs they are always delicious and consistent with how many they give, usually 6-8 crab legs. I’ve ordered them spicy before and non-spicy with just butter and both ways are absolutely tasty. However I prefer it with the spice!
I’ve also ordered their prawns or langostinos de Nayarit, half a platter for $24 and it was a great portion for 2 people. I highly recommend these, they are so tasty we were sucking them dry! Great flavor!!
I’ve tried their jumbo shrimp ceviche (crudo de camaron) and this never disappoints either! Very good.
They also give you some limes and bags of tostadas with your order. They won’t give you any chili/spicy sauce on the side unless you request it.
For this entire order of crab legs, half platter of prawns, and jumbo ceviche came out to $139.
I just hope they don’t increase their prices anymore otherwise they’ll be losing a customer.
UPDATED review for 2025:
Came back for the new year to dine in, for appetizers they serve a complimentary tuna ceviche ona tostada with two salsas, it was very good! For dinner, we ordered the Mar (7 seas) seafood soup it was absolutely delicious!!! Comes with catfish, prawns, crab leg, octopus, scallop, mussels, shrimp and a side of buttery garlic bread so soft and yummy when dipped in the broth. And cilantro and red onion for garnish. Highly recommend!!! Very flavorful and delicious. Very generous portion.
We also ordered the huachinango with Diablo sauce which is a deep fried red snapper!!! So tasty. The Diablo sauce had the thick consistency and was very spicy!! Comes with rice, a side salad and some crispy fries, huge portion!!! They also have other options for red snapper like grilled if you don’t want it fried and garlic flavor if you can’t handle spice.
We also ordered langostinos de Nayarit which are always tasty and our go to, and I recommend!!! For drink, I like their aqua de piña which is the pineapple fruit drink, light and refreshing!
Great customer service very polite and professional. When we dined in they served us quickly and checked on us often to see if we needed anything. Love this place!
The place is always clean and the staff is nice.
