Ordered grilled salmon and shrimp plate. This came with options and I selected rice and salad. Salad was fresh and came with salad dressing. Before my plate arrived fresh lemon, hot sauce, tartar sauce and cocktail sauce was delivered to my table. Everything I tasted on my plate was delicious. The shrimp was grilled perfectly with a hint of garlic. The salmon was moist yet the skin was crispy and delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere was of a typical seafood restaurant. I very much enjoyed dining here.

My favorite San Antonio sea food spot. I always get the 5 fish 5 shrimp platter to share with my husband. Delicious. Kids meals available with chicken strips, hamburgers, and more. I’ve been coming here over 25 years and it’s always great.

Wouldn’t recommend at all. The caldo de camaron was exactly that lol. Only shrimp and literally one piece of celery a slice of tomato and I had to ask for the rice to be added so it could have something different than the shrimp. No carrot, celery, nothing. For $16 you can just go to Pappadeaux. I understand it’s hard times but got dang If I’m going to spend $16 it has to be decent. Horriblé! Cashier was nice on the way out everyone was nice tbh.

BVOCAL4LOCAL UPDATE….
Still great! Went with two friends, one that had never been before and one that is returning with me. The return friend said standards were still high and very good. The new friend said they were very happy to put this on there fish shopping list lol
UPDATE … Still a great fried fish and an ice cold brew!
This is not a fancy upscale fish house…this is a down home seafood joint…great service… Fried shrimp, crab cakes, fish all beautifully done..love a light breading… cold cold beer..shrimp cocktail that will satisfy your taste buds….. UPDATE.. Still a favorite. I took two people who had never been.. They were mad i hadn’t suggested this place before… I loved reminding them that I had been suggesting this place FOREVER. So glad they both liked it as much as I do. They were already planning their next visit…Lunch specials have gone up a bit, like everywhere else, but so worth it… FYI your salad dressing (tarter and cocktail sauces as well) will come in a packet or individual little capped container..which is great, more sanitary… I had the fish and shrimp combo. Full disclosure, I added more shrimp and had a side salad and some of the best french fries, I love them there because they’re so crispy…. One friend had a similar plate but with a salad and onion rings FYI their onion rings are excellent.. thin and great batter …my other friend ordered a baked fish, veracruz style, with onion rings she said it was really great as well but she did put a little hot sauce on it, she said she wanted it to be spicier but she loved it. Veronica was a great server. Friendly and very attentive. If you like fried shrimp and fish (I think they have catfish and talapia) you need to give this little gem a try. This is where fish are happy to throw themselves on a plate and slather themselves in tarter sauce! Enjoy!
UPDATE… took another friend for their 1st time. Still rocking. My friend said they were adding it to their fried fish list. Still great service. Still great food.

The presentation is great but the flavor is very bland. The breading on the fried combination plates is very tasteless, I had to drench it in lemon, salt and pepper plus tartar for taste. The marisco on the other hand was delicious. The tomatoes and carrots added major flavor. Good service and food arrived at the table quickly. A little overpriced for quality.

I decided to try this place completely at random. One factor being they had fried seafood. I’m not fond of broiled, baked, or seafood soups, and steer clear of the whole fish plates.
I ordered the (2) fish (3) shrimp and (4) oyster plate, with coleslaw and rice for the sides. Most the plates here are $10-12.
My plate came out decently fast, in less than 10 minutes. The recent reviews had me a bit worried.
I tried a piece of shrimp first, the menu stated breading was thin, and it was. Everything had a thin skin of breading, not crunchy, not thick. It was thin enough just adding lemon to the fish caused the skin to stick to the plate and peel off easily. I tried a piece of the fish, and it was really good. The fish was moist, seasoned well, and the tartar sauce here was great. At this point I was pretty happy with the choice.
Then a fork full of coleslaw.. which was absolutely horrible. I did not swallow it.. I tried another fork full from another spot.. same..
I moved on to the rice and the oysters. The rice had minimal peppers in it, but was closer to spanish rice than rice pilaf, the oysters were decent in size, not tiny, but not overly large and had decent flavor. They batter on them was a little thicker than the fish and shrimp.
One lady came by and asked how everything was, when I said “the coleslaw is bad, its very bitter” the replied “oh, you like it?”, I said.. noo no.. bad.. very bitter. She sent the waitress over. I told her the coleslaw was bitter and she asked if I wanted another side instead (in spanish). I asked for fries. How bitter was this coleslaw? All I can say is please do not order it and ruin your meal. I can’t really explain it. I’m not sure I’ve eaten many things in my life that I could compare for reference.
A few minutes went by and the fries came out. The fries were really good, they had a light coating of batter on them, were seasoned well, freshly cooked.. and was actually a highlight of the meal.. this totally made up for the bad coleslaw.
If I come back, fries and fried fish..
Fish (8.5/10) – Shrimp (6.5/10) – Oysters (5/10)
Fries (9/10) – Rice (5/10) – Coleslaw (0/10)
Prices were fair, about average for seafood, and portion sizes weren’t huge, but I left decently full..
I would return again. Avoiding certain items of course. Definitely a good option for affordable seafood.
On a side note, while I was eating I saw other people order several things that looked really good, one being a giant glass of shrimp and red liquid that was topped with sliced avocados. I’m assuming was a shrimp cocktail. This place might be worth visiting as a group to explore the menu a bit.

We had lunch here but pupusa platinum with black beans and cream of coffee, but the coffee in the platinum they were not good at all. Pray to God that we don’t get a stomachache later. We have been here before, but it looks like there’s a bunch of new people here the food was good before but now I don’t know. I don’t think I would want to come back. They did take off the platinum and brought fresh coffee!
