"Food is amazing! Definitely worth the drive and will be coming every week!!"

"Loved the food, atmosphere, and service!! The octopus taco was really good that we ordered a second one haha Also the beans and salsa provided before the meal is really tasty :) All the seafood in ceviche and the tuna tostado were super fresh and a lot of flesh. I personally liked the tostado over taco cuz of the tortilla. Next time we are gonna order the grilled octopus cuz the octopus is just so good!!"

"Came to try this on a recommendation from a friend, so glad we drove 2.5hrs because it was worth every penny. Alexis our waiter was attentive and on his toes. We lacked for nothing. They set us up with plenty of napkins, limes, refried beans, topos, and salsa with a glass of broth on the side. Next we ordered a ceviche Tropical. Mixed Shrimp and Fish. So fresh and delicious. We opted for the 32oz and the portion was enormous. I ordered the Shrimp Scampi half order which was larger than any pasta dish I’ve ever had, the Shrimp breading was seasoned and battered to perfection. Camarones Momias we’re also a big hit! Fried to a golden brown with a savory white rice. Last we tried the Tostada Ensenada de Pulpo. It had a fantastic cilantro crema and the pulpo was overflowing on the tostada. This restaurant definitely ranks at the very top of my favorites list!"

"First time visit to this great seafood restaurant. I have worked in the Valley for about 15 years and have been searching for a local seafood restaurant with real fresh dishes. I have finally found it! I had the calamari, octopus, and shrimp tacos! They were great! The service was excellent! The atmosphere is very nice! I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back soon!"
