    Management is incredible. The staff is so friendly and professional. They help each other out so that food and drinks don't sit around. Food flavors are wonderful. I recommend the broiled chicken. It is so juicy and tender. This is one of our favorite spots.

    Great service! We enjoyed many seafood dishes. Trout, Redfish, Tuna burger: Excellent. The baja seafood cocktail was good. I didn't love the tostito/chips served with. Regular tortilla chips would be fine. More flavor /salt to them.
