Shrimp soup is excellent! Perfect amount of spice and flavor. I’m picky with where I order a shrimp soup from because some places make them extra oily. Not this place tho! Highly recommend! Got this combo with a drink for $10! 😀

They only have 3 tables inside. It’s mainly a place for pick up only. Service was great. We ordered cocktail vuelve a la vida…it was salty so that’s why I give this place 3 Stars. We ordered fried shrimp and the batter on the shrimp was very bland with no flavor.

Food and taste is great. New location very nice. Great service and food very good. Fish was great and shrimp good, but breading little to thick. I will return again and again. Thank you

The cocktails and campechanas are delicious, also the deep fried shrimp plate. So far those are the only ones I have tried, but I'm willing to try the rest of their menu. The salsa they have is also delicious! The staff is friendly and helpful, the place is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. The only thing is that the local kinda far for me and is very small, so is the parking lot. But everything else is great, and I hope they can expand soon or get a bigger place, for now, it seems to be more like a take out restaurant with a couple of tables. I love it, anywas! Nothing but good comments so far. (:

First time trying this place out and it did not disappoint, I ordered the Camaron a la Diabla, my spouse the pulpo a la diabla and my cousin the arroz de mariscos, everything was delicious, everything is done when ordered. Maria was our waitress and was very friendly and gave us great customer service. We will definitely come again.
