Delicious Chicken Tacos with a View
My experience at this restaurant was perfect for a quick bite. I had the chicken tacos, which cost US$7 each and were customizable. They arrived quickly and were incredibly fresh. I enjoyed them so much that I went back for another one, confirming they were delicious. An added bonus was the outdoor seating, which offered a nice view over the marina.

Delicious Food, Awful Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely delicious, earning a perfect 5/5. I particularly enjoyed the Carnitas Guadalajara Puffy Taco and Birria Taco. However, the customer service was awful, rated a mere 1/5. It was disheartening to see the staff being kinder to another customer, which made me feel like I was treated unfairly. The atmosphere was pleasant, rated 3/5, and the noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

Worst Service, Not Worth the Money
My friends and I had dinner with some drinks, and to be honest, we had the worst service ever. We spent more than $300, and it was not worth it. I'm never going back.

Amazing Food, Top-Tier Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The food was amazing, and the service was top tier. They were incredibly responsive to my food allergies and quick with replacing my food. The atmosphere was great, with a quiet noise level that made conversation easy.

Disappointing Vegan Tacos
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I ordered the vegan tacos, but they were blend and greasy. I was also cautioned to be careful not to move the Impossible Taco as it may leave a trail of oil behind it.

Good for Drinks, Skip the Food
I wanted to like this place. We come for drinks whenever the restaurants around are too busy. The service is just 'ehh' each time we have been. The drinks are good, and the view is nice. The food is okay. I would say this is a good place for drinks, and if you're hungry, I would say you should skip it.

Superb Lunch with a View!
My experience at this restaurant was superb! It's a fantastic lunch spot located on Fisherman's Wharf, accessible by going to the second level. The restaurant offers both indoor seating and a small patio area with a lovely view overlooking the water and boats. While we ate, we were treated to the sight of sea lions on the docks below. The nachos were delicious, and our food in general was fresh, high quality, and very tasty. The ordering process is "order at the counter and seat yourself. " We ordered, paid, picked a table, and our food was brought to us. It wasn't very busy on a Friday afternoon, making for a quiet, easy to talk atmosphere. Just be mindful of the seagulls trying to snatch a bite!

Tourist Trap: Overpriced with Poor Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. While the service was fast, the food was not good. The portions were low, and the prices were too expensive, especially for the quality. It felt like a tourist place with too much cost.

Terrible employee behavior, avoid this place
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the behavior of one of the employees. I witnessed an employee, named Shakura, being extremely aggressive not only with me but also with other customers. I also overheard her speaking in a very rude and disrespectful manner, even towards the girls at the cash registers. Because of Shakura's behavior, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The owner should be ashamed to have such an employee.

Tourist Trap with Mediocre Food
What was your experience at the restaurant? It felt like a typical tourist trap. The restaurant wouldn't survive a month in a different location given its quality. The Quesadillas were really not very good. You can definitely eat here, but you can also skip it.
