We have eaten here two times. Both times we visited we have had a pleasant experience. It is a bit pricey but you do receive decent portions for the prices.
The daytime vs nighttime atmosphere is different, so depending on what you’re looking for this should factor in to your visit.
Parking is ample. You do need to be cautious entering the parking lot from the access road as there is a good sized hole in the cement with a piece of rebar sticking out at the entrance.
The dining room itself is kept clean. The booth seats do need to be wipped down & vacummed out as there are crumbs & pieces of food in the cracks. The ledge behind the booths that connects to the wall is not clean.
We didn’t use the restroom so I am not able to address that area.
The night time crowd is busy, security guards at the doors, usually a wait time to be seated, loud music & sometimes live music, lots of fun, photographers for your tables & tv’s with the games around the main dining area & bar. Some dancing & usually a few birthday celebrations.
The daytime is calm with couples on dates, families enjoying lunches, a few people at the bar, football & American football games on the tv’s, usually no wait times, music playing
& an enjoyable dining experience.
They are known for their michiladas & they do not disappoint. Your choice of beer in their house mix with celery sticks to stir. The rim is dressed with chamoy & a tajin mixture that gives a limon zest taste to the drink. The tomato & clamato flavor are well balanced. It is a deep red with spices & ingredients that make it visually pleasing as well as full of flavor. This is usually hard to find. It pairs well with their food choices & is easy to enjoy.
The appetizer list is decent. Our favorite is the Torito Peppers. Jalapeños stuffed with cheese and shrimp wrapped in bacon served with sour cream. The bacon is crunchy but not hard, the shrimp are large and cooked soaking up the flavor from the bacon & jalapeño. The cheese is creamy white cheese giving it a touch of softness in the middle of spice, savory bacon & sour cream, should you choose to dip it.
The Super Plato Mix is a good variety for the shrimp lover. It does include a breaded fish filet & calamari. The Diabla shrimp is hot but so full of flavor. The ceviche is okay.
The tostadas de ceviche are served with a good portion. It does include jalapeños in the ceviche mix. We do not like this as it basically tastes like a pico salsa when they’re added, so we order without the pico & create our own mix for the ceviche by adding lemons, salt pepper & the cilantro.
The crab by the pound with cajun seasoning is so full flavor. It’s a wet sauce & is a great option to mix in shrimp or other items for the flavor. It’s not too spicy or too salty. It has wonderful balance & the crab soaks up all the flavors.
The molcajete momia is a good size serving. I was disappointed that the bacon on the inside was not cooked and I had to remove it from each bacon wrapped shrimp. The cheese does overtake the dish & become basically a cheese soup. I added avocado & ceviche to it to help even out the cheese flavor.
Overall it’s great food & a fun atmosphere. I suggest everyone orders something different & share to get the full flavors of the different options on the menu.

Place was clean. Waitress was nice. It was a Friday music was pretty loud,but enjoyable if you like karaoke. Food was good, good portions a bit pricy, but I guess now days everywhere you go is.

We love going to the Arlington location so we decided to try this one. Food was great as always. I love their chips and salsa and their micheladas. Maps took us to a different location (their old location) which was closed. Wish they would put a big sign outside or update their location. We just happened to be driving by and noticed they had moved.

This place was mid. Our server was extremely slow but she was nice. The food was pretty bland and it was overpriced. Our party somehow spent nearly $400 for 4 people. Maybe I’m a noob at these Hispanic seafood places but is that normal? Seemed a bit much for me. Especially for food that lacked flavor. The drinks were good but very pricey as well. $12 for 1 Mexican candy shot? Lol
Oh, and they will add their own gratuity on so pay attention to your bill. You will end up tipping twice.

We went here Easter weekend after the Saturday service at OCC Lewisville. The place was packed but it did not take long to get us a table. It was really loud even too loud with the stage near by and the sound system blasting so much so it was hard to mingle while eating. The food didn’t take too long. The have a vast menu selection. Our server struggled since her English was not very good. We had a seafood platter that had fried shrimp, shrimp cocktail, calamari, onion rings, Filet-O-Fish, diablo’s shrimp and some type of salad. I ordered a virgin pina colada which was very good. The audience seemed to be enjoying the music but since it was our first visit we did not know exactly what to expect. I would be curious to see if there was a different day of the week that was not quite as lively.

Came here from dinner during a week day. The three stars are solely for food. If the food wasn’t above average for a Mexican seafood place it would’ve been 1 star. The service killed the visit. There was no customers when we sat 10 mins to get drinks , 25 mins to get our order taken. We ordered apps with our drinks. We finished our drinks and apps before our dinner order was even taken. Two smaller tables we had a party of 9 had sat 10 mins after us and received food before we could even order. The cleanliness of the establishment is lacking all around. Parking is horrible and sketchy. The receipts are itemized so it’s a guessing game on what your being charged …. On to the food ——— food was good but not authentic the way they prepare and serve is far from Mexican .. the taste and flavor is there but something is missing and the quantity is small to be lacking in quality. Overall it would be ok for a bite to eat in a pinch but not a drive out of the way to go eat type of spot.

I love this place. It was my first time here. And I was not very optimistic, but am I was wrong. I ordered the shrimp and steak plate and let me tell you…. the steak was so soft and easy to eat, the shrimp were tastee and that sauce was A+mazing!!! I the rice was good and left me wanting a whole lot more. The grilled serrano and nopal where also very good. Service was excellent and the atmosphere better than what one would expect for a Monday nite. I can’t wait to go back and even enjoy their Kareoke on Thursday nite.

First time here. Jalapeños poppers were delicious. I ordered the Super Parrillada it was 5/10 for me. The rice was hard and I hardly had any beans it was more juice. The pico and guacamole looked old. My kiddo has the buffalo wings they are huge! The chips and salsas they offer is fire!!! The service was pretty quick. The atmosphere is very nice. Lots of tvs & music. Lewisville needs a spot like this. You get a photo taken on the house and can purchase other photos.
