Had a lot of fun here. The music is classic rock in case you need a break from the local stuff. Drinks were really good (Sangria and Tequila Sunrise) and the food was fantastic. They come up and make the salsa right in front of you (see video). Shrimp tacos were excellent. Prices were reasonable so I would recommend this place to anyone. Bathrooms were clean.

I've been to this place a few times now and, everytime I return, things just keep getting better. To start, the staff are all amazing. (They certainly could teach the Canadian service industry how to properly interact with and support their customers.) The food was pretty good for the first couple of times I went there but today, everything about the meal and visit was superior. I was absolutely impressed that the salsa was made fresh at my table. It was so delicious. I then ordered the poppers appetizer with a burrito. Out came my poppers first and I gave them a while to cool before biting into the first one. OMG... So juicy and cheesy! I have never eaten poppers this good in my entire life. Once my appetizer was done, the waiter brought out my burrito. That thing was solid as it was jam packed with meat, vegetables and cheese. I highly recommend this place. Go for the excellent food and for the superior and friendly staff.

Amazing shrimp tacos!! Excellent service and great atmosphere. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly yet professional at the same time. Shout out to Arath and Jonathan for giving us an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the food because we ate it right away!!

Jorge and staff were fantastic. We had delicious ceviche and red snapper. We came here 3 times over the course of the week and had a fantastic experience. The food and drinks are very fairly priced and the salsa is made fresh at the table. I definitely recommend!

Fun little restaurant right in the Marina area, we were able to stop by after going fishing and just had a great lunch. Staff was wonderful. Food was wonderful. I mean heck how can you go wrong? If you’re in the marina area you’re looking for some decent food stop by and grab something. You won’t regret it.

WOW! Leaving Mexico now, this was one of our top meals of the trip. Jonathan was an amazing server, Rick was a walking marketeer and a great dude/face of the restaurant. He catches all the fish and has so many insane fishing stories. We all got fish tacos, everything was so fresh. Salsa and Guac was made fresh, right before our eyes. DO go here, Rick and Jonathan THANK YOU!

Each member of the family enjoyed their dish. Ribs, wings, pasta and fish n chips. Our server was pleasant, friendly and always made sure we were ok. Everyone was friendly and made us feel welcome. The pool table was an added bonus! We played a few games, we had a great time!
