Amazing Team, Great Margaritas!
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly positive, largely due to the amazing team! From the moment I walked in, I was met with nothing but positivity, professionalism, and genuine care. The staff, including Maria, Sandra, Maria, Martha, Reyna, Caro, and Vicky, are absolute stars. Their passion for their work is evident, making every interaction feel effortless, friendly, and real. Beyond the exceptional service, they also serve the best margaritas in town and offer a wide selection of tequila, which adds to the excitement of each visit. It's truly rare to find employees who consistently bring such energy and dedication, but this crew does it naturally. If you're seeking a place where the staff truly makes a difference, this is it.

Overpriced and Bland with Poor Service
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The drinks and food were overly priced, especially considering the food was quite bland. The service was also horrible; we waited 15 minutes after a table was cleared and had to ask why we weren't seated. The explanation about the adjacent table not being ready made no sense, and the staff lacked attention to patrons. This place used to be great, but it's not anymore.

Excellent Fried Fish and Mezcal Margaritas!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! I had the excellent fried fish, which was perfectly cooked. My absolute favorite was the mezcal margaritas; they are a must-try. I 100 percent recommend this place.

Amazing Food and Great Service!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food was truly amazing, with the sauce perfectly cooked onto my fish. The oysters were incredibly fresh. Everyone at our table of six thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Our server was very helpful and answered all our questions.

Delicious Food, Generous Portions!
My experience at this restaurant was delicious! We discovered this place through reviews, and it was absolutely worth it. When the food arrived, we were shocked by the generous portion sizes. If you order the filet and lobster dish, be aware that it can easily be shared with one or two other people. The food was so good, and the dessert was beyond satisfying!

Hidden Gem for Tequila Lovers
This is definitely the spot for Mexican seafood in the Mission. However, the real star of the show is the bar. You can find some of the rarest tequilas here to savor. It's an impressive collection!

Old Shrimp and No Contact Number
My experience at the restaurant was very disappointing. The shrimp I received was old and not fresh; it looked like it was prepared over a week ago. I don't understand why they would sell such food. It would be better to say they are out of it than to sell something that could cause food poisoning. That product definitely needs to go in the trash. Additionally, they don't have a phone number to call 😡.
