The food and service were very good. The restaurant is very clean. There are a lot of reasonably priced options to choose from, including some lunch specials. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Soooo freaking food. Red snapper Diablo. Definately not for the faint. This junt was . Luckily this red snapper comes in about 10 different forms. I quite enjoyed the Diablo though.

Excellent customer service. I had the garlicky red snapper and a pitcher is strawberry margaritas with friends. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very much a quiet kickback spot with great food. Will be back. Very clean.

So tasty!! I got the Huachinango a la Veracruzana. Great atmosphere for the family. Note: Best to pay with cash to avoid credit card fee.
