    It's a good restaurant. We went on a busy Saturday and the people working there are awesome and friendly. The environment...it's a bit cramped. Everyone including the people who make the food just seems and feels cramped. Also eating outside has limited tables so you gotta wait for one to open up. As for the food...hmmm, it's nothing special. We had rockfish and that was just ok. Nothing special. We also ordered crab cakes but they lacked enough crab where not sure if you could call it a crab cake and the price just doesn't justify. As I stated, the food is nothing special. It's not average and it's not spectacular. For the prices on the appetizers and main dishes, I guess I was expecting spectacular. The food lacked something special. Parking around this area is rough. Since it's part of the surrounding neighborhoods, it could be tough to get to this place.

    I'd say about 3.5 stars, just very bland, one note flavors. Not bad, just boring for your taste buds. The salsa that came with the chips was 99% tomato, a tiny bit of onion and cilantro. Not very exciting. Hot sauce we asked for was barely hot. Got a couple fish tacos and a carne asada. Fried fish had very little crunch, Steak was tender though. Not bad at all but I can't imagine going back. Nothing I would crave again. Staff was friendly and the decor / place is nice looking.

    I LOVE the fish tacos here. So very much. I also love the fast service and colorful ambiance of the restaurant. The one thing I have to say is that last time I visited, I was so excited to bring my family, and they forgot about our order... it didn't come for 30 minutes, and we were all very hungry and sad as we watched many of the people who ordered after us get their food. Eventually we got our food, but we weren't so happy :(

    We were on the hunt for a good lunch & stepped in. Am I glad we did! I ordered the Chicharron de Pollo which comes w/crispy pieces of chicken thighs topped w/salsa criolla served w/rice & black beans, organic salad and plantains. It was outstanding! The flavors were a delightful blend of savory, crispy, tangy, and sweet, creating a harmonious and satisfying dining experience. The limeade agua was bright & so refreshing! The chips & salsa were the perfect start. The salsa was exploding w/flavor! Nice atmosphere, not too loud, nice music in the background & the staff were attentive & very courteous. This was a very memorable meal. I'll definitely be going back!!!
