Great food! The most authentic close to be the real seafood seaside style. Cannot find another place close to match the taste of the grill octopus and the jaiba tostadas.

I ate some delicious ceviche and a bowl of birria soup. I have a great time every time I show up plus a live band was going to start which would have been nice but I had to leave. I absolutely love the different choices of seafood and menu items. The menu itself is designed well with lots of pictures and options.

The seafood was good. I had the green aguachiles and they were good. The aguachiles were flavorful, and they were not quite spicey or citrusy as other places make them. My brother had chipotle shrimps. First glance I thought his plate wasn't going to be good. I was shocked, the shrimp had a good crunch with butter and chipotle. My dad had ceviche with a tostada. That was a big portion, and he also enjoyed it. Overall we had a great food experience.
