What customers say?

“ This is where I come for my fish ceviche! I love it here! The seating is in the back (outdoors), in a shaded area with fans running. They have everything seafood from molcajete, fish tacos, aguachiles, mojaras and other stuff. The service is great but be prepared to wait a little for the hot food. BYOB is welcome... So walk down the street to the liquor store and grab some chelas (cold ones) if you want it with your food. ”

“ Tried their shrimp ceviche, they spicy sauce they marinate in is perfect, owner disclosed is a secret family recipe. A family owned restaurant, CASH only, the family is very friendly. Parking can get hectic, I reccomend finding street parking on Mathews st. ”

“ Food is good but have fun trying to play telephone. It is hard to call on Sundays and my folks have to drive to the spot to see if it's open. ”

“ Dont be fooled by the storefront! This place has more to it than what you see from the street. Patio seating with a fun family friendly atmosphere. The food is amazing...I will be back soon for the ceviche (indescribably delicious) The owners are super friendly, and they're from Nayarite which is automatic cool points! ”
