Upon entering I noticed many people have arrived for lunch! Some grabbing beers, others with sodas.. but everyone having a great time. There was I believe only 1 server who also was tending the bar. The server seemed to really be on her toes about all she was doing. So kudos to that! All with a smile on face and no bad energy or vibes.
The beer was ice cold!! The limes were fresh and juicy! Even the salt was fresh! Lol
I ordered 1 torta of shrimp/octopus it was $13 I think. But it was LOADED! The shrimp was perfect but even better was that the octopus was PERFECT! Not rubbery not chewy! It was excellent!!
The only complaint I had on this place was the music was so damn loud you have to really speak up or get close to whoever you’re speaking to. Lol! And at first it’s okay? Because who wants to walk into a lame quiet establishment for a cold beer and great food.?? Right! .. so after about 10 minutes and halfway through the first round of beers. It gets really annoying hearing the music so loud.
Other than that. This place has great tostadas de ceviche. I’ll have to come back and try some more menu items that looked appealing to me
Cheers
Do not recommend. Drinks are weak or alcohol-free, most food is questionable at best, and a few items might actually make you sick. Seafood is okay. Everything else—avoid.

Review:
This place is wildly overpriced for what you get. I paid $20 for a meal I couldn’t even eat because I didn’t trust it—completely unacceptable.
The aesthetic is nice, but the red flag was the massive, all-over-the-place menu. For a “seafood” restaurant, I was shocked to see chicken Alfredo—so we ordered it out of curiosity. Big mistake. It was clearly cooked on a grill, smelled and tasted like it too—absolutely disgusting. We sent it back, and the replacement was identical. (The person who ate it got sick later that night.)
I ordered the Mexican-style beef with no beans. They gave me beans anyway—apparently “Mexican style” means they think they know better than you?
They claim to make handmade corn tortillas, so I gave them a try. What I got was a plate of tortillas with a thick black hair in it. Sent that back too.
The drinks looked nice but had almost no alcohol—except for the bottled Modelo, which was the only legit drink. I’m confident about that because this was my second Mother’s Day celebration of the day, and I know what alcohol tastes like.
We also tried the ceviche. It was basically a DIY project. They tossed some sketchy seafood in a bowl with two giant chunks of avocado—no lime, no seasoning, nothing. We had to doctor it up ourselves with Valentina sauce from the table.
Only the fish and shrimp seemed safe—and that’s because it’s hard to screw those up. The rice, on the other hand, was undercooked, cold, and hard.
I left disgusted, disappointed, and honestly embarrassed to have spent money here.
Bottom line: Never coming back. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.
I got the fish ceviche medium sized and my partner got the carne asada. Both were great. I think I won but he thinks he won so we will never truly know. Which is the best outcome in my opinion.
The ceviche was incredible. So much ceviche for like $20 I was shocked when I got to the bottom of the bowl and there wasn’t a bunch of lettuce to try and cut costs. I’ve had a lot of fancy pants ceviche before and this was the best I’ve had honestly. It was so simple and perfect. Perfectly seasoned and light and fresh.
The atmosphere is really nice and inviting. As well as the staff. Our waitress was great as well as everyone else we interacted with. 10/10
Could hardly bite into them and soooo much bbq sauce.
Would have returned them to the kitchen but they were take out
Never again
Plus side:
The interior is nicely decorated
It is themed like a seaside resort. The interior floor is painted to look like you’re in the shallow waters of the sea shore – cool effect! Decors also supplement that beach vibe.
Service was good – albeit our server spoke a little English, but Google Translate helped us communicate efficiently. We had our beers and enjoyed the evening with friends.
There’s what looks like a recent addition to their establishment – a covered porch for outdoor seating. A great alternative unless during the dog days of summer.
We had ceviche and chicken wings to compliment our beers. They were both good. It was an ‘okay’ place, we would definitely be going back in the future, as the place isn’t jam packed and we can leisurely enjoy our drinks and company without loud music or conversations drowning us.
