One of the best taco places in the bay, I ordered chorizo tacos, they made them with handmade corn tortillas and they were absolutely mind blowing. Staff is super nice and accommodating, if you're having a craving for good food you gotta go here, you won't be disappointed.

Great food! I ordered the garlic shrimp, the plate had no room. They are generous with the amount of serving, fresh tortillas and Jamaican was not too sweet and taste very natural. Please support this local business the service is quick and attentive.

One of the the few real and authentic Mexican flavored foods. Wow was fire. Micheladas, beers are awesome. Plates are all awesome like I said very little authentic Mexican places around the U.S.A. you'll got to try this one.

It's close. It is good. It's authentic. One of the cooks is from my former favorite Mexican restaurant (Juanita's on 17th and Webster, now closed😭), and the beans and rice taste the same!

Honestly their aguachiles and ceviches are really good. All sea foods are good. But regular food not really. This time i order flautas, the rice tasted like it was old and was over cooked, was not able to eat it. Ill go back just for the ceviches and aguachiles.

My Marlin taco was fire and the carne asada tacos my family ordered were good but that was really it on the good side. The seafood molcajete was below average I literally just ate it because I was very hungry. The area was kind of sketchy especially in the late evening when we showed up after a late soccer game.

They charged my card and said it didn't go through. When. I showed her it did she stopped helping me. And didn't wanna hear anything I said. So I asked for a manager and another waitress said she didn't know who that would be. But took my card again to charge for the 2nd time. Food is good but the service sucks if your not Mexican or of Latin decent! The pick if they want to help you or not. But thanks to the one waitress who didn't have to help me, but she did.

First time there, I can say a good review about the food, waitress was kind and polite, the tostada had raw shrimp maybe is the way it is, but the octopus was under cooked and rubbery. Is not cheap for the price I’m very disappointed . Won’t come back 😩☹️

I had chili quiles Sunday morning 2/3 they were just awful it was like they poured straight tomato sauce over the tortillas so sour and my whole plate was cold I had to ask to warm it.

Went there to get 2 pancakes and some scrambled eggs. I didn't look at my food till I got home. The eggs were over cooked and smelled like fish. The pancakes weren't all the way cooked. Terrible! The place look nice inside though. That's why they get one star.

We were seating on a table for 15 mins. Nobody greet us and it look like waiters try to avoid us. They offer alcohol to all the tables around but nothing to us. This place is dirty and the music they have, is crazy loud. I had to walk out the door.

I hated this place because i brought my family here and we just ordered some basic stuff luke for the kids i just got them chicken nuggets and me just a normal burrito and the wait to get service was 1 hour and 30 min and the lady's that work here just walk around and didn't even take our order then after that we were done eating and the bill was 230 dollars so yes i complained because they over charged me and the tax for the food i bought was about 100 dollar s so yea don't go here and it smells pretty horrible here too

The side of the restaurant smells like garbage and a massive landfill. The smell is so atrocious that it'll ruin your appetite as you enter the restaurant. I'm staying away from this seafood place until they fix the smell. Its so bad.
