I was visiting family in the bay and was craving mariscos. The restaurant looks freshly remodeled so it definitely is modernized. The staff was very easy going and knew how to strike good conversation. I started off with what they call a preparada which to my understanding is their version of a Michelada. It was different but had a great taste so I had to order a second one. I also ordered a coctel de camaron y pulpo (shrimp and octopus) and it was right on the money. Everything tasted fresh and it didn't taste like Clamato and ketchup which I loved. To my understanding they have a live band every Friday. I would def recommend this if you're in the area.
Deliciosos cockteles, caldos de pescado y camarones empanizados... Ostiones, muy ricos. Muy amable atención de Alicia y otras personas.
Such a cute spot! Came here on a Sunday and was seated in less than 5 minutes. The service was good as the workers were really nice. I got the super burrito with carne asada and the meat was perfectly chewy and easy to bite. There was also a good amount of sour cream and guac in the burrito which I liked. However, I wasn't really a fan of the tortilla as it was kind of hard but overall this place was great to try!
Monday night: walked in around 8pm and it wasn't busy. Staff were very friendly. Prices and taste are even better! Got 5 tacos, ($3 each) and a side of beans ($5). And a 23 ounce of Pacifico on draft for $6. You cant beat this price for a big glass of beer on tap! Anyways, the chorizo, al pastor and carnitas tacos were freaking amazing. It's been a while that a taco made me say "wow" out loud. These were jam packed with flavor. Free chips and decently spicy flavored salsa. A big juke box that locals were playing good Mexican music on and gets kinda loud, which is fun but not if you want a conversation with someone I bet. I was alone for a work trip so it was awesome! Definitely coming back if I'm in the area!
Amazing consistent food every time and excellent service and prices. I can't say enough good things about this place
