This place is family friendly and offers a lot of food options. The fish taquitos are delicious. They are also able to accommodate large groups. They have plenty of shareable items and beverages on the menu.

Elizabeth recommended all of our food and we dined in. She was amazing we had a triple combination of crab legs, shrimp and mussels special order langostinos and we had margaritas which were fabulous. Would give 10 stars if we could for service and food was amazing plus large portions! Let’s not forget the complimentary ceviche for appetizer! Will Definitely be returning!

Food was EXCELLENT and the waitresses all had smiles! I had breaded shrimp and it was so crispy and yummy! The rice was really tasty! The fries were pretty bland and boring (I am a fry girl). I will definitely come back! Loved the fun murals on the walls too! Pop is served in cans or bottles, fyi. The complimentary civeche was just like abuelita makes!

Wow is all I have to say. My husband and I decided to try this place on a whim. Plenty of parking. The restaurant was spacious and clean. All the waitresses were friendly and we were seated right away. You get complimentary ceviche accompanied by tostadas and crackers. You also get mild green and red hot salsa. Our drinks were huge, oysters were fresh! I ordered the Camarones Cucaracha dinner. Shell on shrimp in a huichol spicy sauce. It comes with fries, rice and veggies on the side. It was delicious and the sauce had just enough kick to it. My husband ordered the Huachinango fish with butter garlic on it. Crunchy, flaky and garlicky. It was amazing. I finished my food and started eating some of his. Everything was just so flavorful. The restaurant is not far from our house so we plan on having many lunches and dinners here.
