Solid SoCal style Mexican Seafood. I judge mariscos restaurants on their shrimp cocktails. So far, this is the best shrimp cocktail I've had in Dallas since moving from San Diego. Service was excellent, food was delicious and authentic baja style Mexican seafood. I would highly recommend this establishment for anyone from SoCal looking for that style of food.

FINALLY! AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD!. I came with a few friends and was impressed that it wasn't a typical TEX-MEX restaurant. If you are looking for "tex-mex" you will be disappointed. This place actually has authentic MEXICAN food! We tried the guacamole, and was delicious! the server did say we could add pico de gallo to it if we'd like. The Ceviche and Micheladas seem to be their specialty, as it was selling alot. I tried the steak fajitas and the quality was very good. My friend had a steak burrito a la mex, & also was very tasty. We will be back again!

I've experienced MANY Mexican Restaurants, my favorite food. This one probably won't be tried again.. I grade Mexican restaurants a lot by their chips & salsa. This restaurant receives a low rating in this area. Chips were too thick, not enough salt. Salsa lacked flavor and the "heat" seemed to dominate the taste. Beef tacos were just satisfactory, nothing outstanding. Guacamole was okay but seemed to be lacking any onion or tomato usually seen in this appetizer. Perhaps some of the seafood dishes would be more of a focus here rather than typical Tex-Mex. The menu is quite extensive in that area. On a positive note, service was very good, quick and accommodating.
