“ Initially, I wasn't sure if it was going to be too hot, since it is somewhat outdoors, but I'm very, very happy we tried it. The food is EXCELLENT! Great service, great prices and get fresh, flavorful food. Highly recommended (and it wasn't hot, after all). We were in Playa 5 days, and went to eat there twice :) ”
“ For starters we had the salmon sashimi and guacamole which was amazing and very fresh. For mains we had the fish of the day which was freshly caught the same day, we got to choose the fish we wanted and also watch the chef flame grill it. The fish was delicious, fresh, tender and juicy. Ivan our server was fantastic not only with the service but with his local knowledge and recommendations. We highly recommend this place. ”
“ My husband and I came here for a late lunch and we will definitely be back! Very fun atmosphere with a Marachi singer that was interactive with the customers. The food was fantastic and the service from our waiter, Fernando was excellent! We ordered the tuna tostada which was plenty for us to share as an appetizer. we were actually both full after that. We also had octopus, fish and shrimp tacos, so delicious. multiple people came to check on us and ask how we enjoyed our meal. Everyone was very friendly. ”
“ Great place. Awesome.food, great service, and the atmosphere was great - even though you are right on the 115. Yhe menu is extensive (see pics). The servings are generous and delicious. Highly recommend. November 2024. ”
“ I’m me of the best seafood restaurant in the area by far! I’ve been in multiple seafood restaurants and this one is definitely flavorful and delicious, the shrimp soup as an appetizer was so rich and the unique fresh ceviche salmon was just vanished as it arrived. And the service was so friendly and welcoming, no English menu but a little bit of translation and easily you can find your thing. We arrive before closing and we ordered 6 dishes and few drinks, gone so fast. The calamari was so soft and crispy definitely recommended!!! ”
