    We were in the standard seating area. It wasn’t very busy for a Monday night but our server was the only one serving several tables. She was very responsive. The food was great. I had the Pescado tacos. Great flavor and good size portions. My son had the Octopus tacos. I had a bite and they were cooked perfectly. Great seasoning too. Of course, the margaritas were delicious

    The food, service, ambiance, was all fantastic. Add to that the view of the ocean, and it's perfect! So glad they take reservations!

    The staff is awesome. I enjoyed the food but my refried beans taste like there from the can. But, all in all I enjoyed it.

For food we had chicken quesadillas, shrimp chile relleno plate with refried beans & mexican rice, also had the Sea bass with cilantro rice & charro beans. We all tasted each others food and were very pleased with the presentation & taste overall. I would definitely recommend this place & can’t wait to come back.

    First time there - had a great experience. All of our food and drinks were really good…from the drinks, chips & salsa, main courses, and all the way through to dessert. My favorites were the flight of margaritas, the street tacos and the churros for dessert. The spiked horchata was also a great addition to dessert.
