Starts with fresh ingredients and the stewed salsa was my first hint this was going to be great meal. Started with complimentary cup of clear broth seafood soup. It did the trick, can't wait for my main dish of Cazuela de Marisco. Loaded with seafood and plenty spicy. I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and friendly attentive service. I'll be back!

I was attracted to the ceviche tostadas when I saw it on Yelp. When we got there they gave us lagniappe salsa and chip with a taste sample of the seafood soup.
Both was excellent and ordered a bowl of seafood soup. I was surprise that it didn't taste fishy at all and was very soothing because it was cold that day.
We also order a small ceviche and small cocktail which was very fresh and healthy.
The ceviche on tostada was superb with a little hot sauce and lemon on top.
If you want to save a little money just order the ceviche on tostada because it is the same as a small ceviche.
And the best for last is the Michelada, the rim was cover with salted tamarind and goes very well with a corona. -

TASTY!!! Not accommodating to large groups. My family (11 of us) stopped here to eat. We had to sit near the front door because there was no larger space. The server was a sweet lady who spoke minimum English. She brought out 4 cups of water rather than 11. Two bowls of chips, so it ran out in 5 mins. She did bring a pitcher of lemonade, that filled half the tables cups. She forgot a beer that was ordered. We dropped a cup and she never came back to clean up the spot. I felt her co workers saw her struggling but no one stepped in to assist. I ordered the fish tacos, which I was told were grilled but came out tempura like. The fish soup that came with the meal was delicious but more like broth. I probably won't come back, but if you're a party of 2 and want fresh fish this could work.

I think I ordered the wrong thing :P. The shrimp cocktail tasted like they mixed a bottle of ketchup with sugar, chopped cilantro and a bag of peeled shrimp. I ate a few bites but then picked out all the shrimp and put them in another bowl and topped with lime juice.
Limonada: perfect. More tart than sweet.
Fried shrimp plate: Crispy fried shrimp had a good flavor and so did the rice, but 6 for $12 seemed a bit steep.
Apparently a lot of people like this, but our group agreed that we will be going elsewhere.
