Authentic as they come. The fajitas were tender and full of flavor as well as the chips and salsa. Best hidden treasure around. Also very affordable. Right at $21 for two people including drinks and an appetizer plus more food than we could eat.

I was the only one for late lunch. AYCE ( all you can eat) Shrimp. The plate stayed loaded too. I've tried them all and this is hands down

Hole in the wall seafood place with really good food. Rather than the all you can eat option, we ordered the one trip fish plate and the shrimp and fish plate, garlic flavor. The seafood was amazing but the fries were just as good! Important note: They only take cash, so hit the ATM on your way there because without it, you'll be washing dishes for a day : )

I went here with my family after looking for a seafood spot online and I was not disappointed. The food was incredibly fresh and the service was excellent. It's a fairly lowkey spot and I believe its family owned so felt relaxed. We ordered the the family seafood platter with a mix of shrimp and fish with all three flavours they offered. Everything tasted delicious. Their Hibiscus drink was great too. Special mention to the desserts that we got to go - Tres Leches one of the best ive had and the choco-flan was very loved by my family too. Highly recommend this spot :)

Don’t go here if you want fancy decor, modern furniture or ordinary food. This is a small place- it was quite busy when we were there but not packed. For us, it service was quick and friendly - .we went for the all you can eat fish. The waitress said it was sea bass. They also have all you can eat fish and shrimp for a few dollars more. The all you can eat fish plate came with a big serving of fish- (btw you can choose from fried, grilled, blackened or garlic )- the size of the fish surprised us as to how big it was.

I almost hesitate to tell people about this one. It's not a great looking place. Folding tables and folding chairs in a bland galley dining room with some great food. Don't tell anyone about the Chicken Tortilla Soup or they may start charging more! The unlimited fish - Amazing!

I love it there!!! Their 13.99 all you can eat buffet is awesome. The taste is great. The garlic shrimp/fish is my favorite. Their agua de Jamaica is bomb!!! Overall I super recommend this place.
