First time here last night and everything was great!! From the table ceviche offered as your appetizer and the raw oysters. We ordered a dozen with limes. We went with the langostino plate and camarones a la diabla. Both dishes served with rice, salad AND fries. Most places only serve you salad and rice. I'm not a fan of seafood because of certain spots having a strong, seafood taste but everything was very fresh! 10/10. It is BYOB and cash only (for now). I also got dessert to finish - churros, ice cream and one slice of cheesecake. Overall great food, service and the ambiance is casual! Music is played as well or certain karaoke nights. Our tab was only $90! This will be our new seafood spot. Definitely worth the try. * under new management *

Took advantage of the BYOB, which is under new management. Food was delicious and ambience was great!! We ordered the empanadas de camarón, pasta a la crema, and camarones a la diabla and were super satisfied!! This place has karaoke nights and staff is super friendly.

Craving some ceviche so I called it in. They had order on time and ready. I gave 4 stars because the full menu (I would of order more) wasn't online and it was cash only. Luckily/Convenient they have their own Atm inside. I hadn't been to eat there in over 18 months but ceviche mixto was fresh and so good!
