One of my favorites for Mexican seafood. Been here so many times and have never ordered anything I didn't think was delicious. Food is amazing, from the seafood plates, molcajete , soups, ceviche, etc... Service is always fast and friendly. Since most items are fresh seafood, food always arrives within minutes. Servings are very large, so most items can be ordered for the table or family style. Not just the food, the Michelada's and Bloody Mary's are very good. It does get busy, especially on the weekends, but since the food arrives so fast, tables clear out pretty quickly.

Awesome seafood!!! It did not disappoint. Everything we had was hands down, amazing!! And the drinks were great too!! The prices are good for the amount of food that you get. Overall, we had a great experience and will go again. Highly recommend!

We were looking forward to a respite from this hot hot weather along with good food. Unfortunately, the pleasure of our dining was diminished be the lack of a good working a/c. This can be improved greatly. The Mexican style seafood was good and appetizing. Portions were fine except what they call a fried fish which were very small. The whole “mojarra” or tilapia fish was very good in size, but it was somewhat oily. We will give it another try.

Excellent Mexican seafood. We got the mocajete AND enchiladas suisas because our waitress said the mocajete wasn't enough for two people. VERY wrong. The mocajete is very much enough for two and the wife and i had LOTS of left overs. The mocajete was excellent, the bacon wrapped shrimp especially.. The enchiladas suisas,... Not so much, they were even cold. Fortunately the mocajete made up for it. If we'd just got that, this place would be a definite 5 stars but the enchiladas were not good and our waitress gave us bad info. Also, i wish they had chips and salsa... Nope. They bring you flat tortillas in a ziplock bag and some odd house style sauces.. The Green wasn't too bad. Still if you're looking for Mexican style seafood, this place is the ticket.

Every time we come to SA we have to eat at the BEST seafood place. I enjoyed the tostada mixta, which is big enough for 2 to share, especially with the extra fried tostadas placed on table for all guest to enjoy. The small seafood soup hit the perfect spot on this breezy day. Micheladas are the Perfect drink to make your meal a perfect one.

The food was delicious. The drinks were great! I'm giving 4 stars because it's SO MANY options on the menu that it can be overwhelming. The atmosphere was dark inside as well. I enjoyed the mariachi band even though the space was small

Food is ALWAYS delish and fresh. It can be busy and have a long line at times, but it's completely worth the wait. Hands down the best place around. We drive a little over 2hrs just to eat here! Some may say it's pricey, but really, it isn't. When you order ANY plate, they serve big portions. Plus, it's seafood soooooo... It's priced what it should be. You don't get chips and salsa. What you do have is tostads shells. Everyone has them at the table to go with your seafood. This is a must try place!

Considering it was our first time there the food was ok but a one time visit was good. The prices were very pricey. My husband ordered a large shrimp cocktail with everything and it was $23 just for that. Don’t get me wrong it was good, but for is a one time place to try.

Absolutely amazing food and drinks! Loved this place so much. Service was great and portions are huge. The platter which I got was a great mix of options especially if you are not 100% sure of what to get. Would definitely come here again when if in San Antonio. A must try!
