Customer Reviews
The shrimp cocktails are excellent! Great value! The service is friendly in a very at-home atmosphere. Don’t forget the salsa valentina!
Perfect spot for a hot sunny day. The cocktails are nice, refreshing and cold. Much tastier than I expected, I was very surprised, especially since it was my first time having something like this. It’s a slightly sweet and savory sauce that they use and the shrimp and octopus are piled in. I was a bit intimidated at first before coming, but it’s a spot that I’ll visit again and again because it’s so tasty and fresh. Plus it’s also relatively healthy, there's just the seafood, avocado, onions, and the sauce! Outdoor seating only but the people there were very accommodating.
I love this place. Im glad they reopened. Their sauce is spot on, brings out the flavor of the shrimps and octopus. Id like to see a better atmosphere but its no issue at all because the food is great. It just feels like the back of a deli in the storage room but it is what it is, maybe thats just the experience. Either way im very happy everytime I come here, its great and better than other overpriced shrimp cocktails in the area.
The food is excellent here but the rest not so much. No indoor seating. No tables. No drinks on sale. No waiter service. You order. Then wait for your order. People start lining up. You are given your food. Then you pay after you are done eating by waiting in line again. The shrimp cocktails are not cheap ($17 for medium) but they are delicious. I ordered a medium and a small would have sufficed. The tacos are a good deal though.
This is a late review. Hopefully much has not changed. I went here in April and enjoyed the experience. This is a hole in the wall place with quality food and excellent service. The only down side is when a train passes by you can't talk/hear anything, so better not to talk. Shrimp cocktail was something unique I've never tried before. Slightly on the sweeter side. I would have preferred a spicier version (they do have hot sauce). Service was truly excellent and friendly. They threw in extra cilantro upon request and packed the avocado slices separately (due to take out). Items are fairly priced. Surely give this place a try.
