  Ask for Andres he has been so far one of the best waiters we have had served us. He's from Colombia love his accent. He took great care of us always making sure we were ok checking on us. He's super friendly this place needs more people like him. He bought us everything and even more that we ask for.

  First time coming here. I came here with 5 friends for a girls night out. When we came here the place was pretty packed so I was expecting for the food here to be amazing. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed.
  
  As soon as we sat down the waiter brought us chips, salsa, and queso. The chips were good, but they were cold. The salsa was watery and flavorless. The queso was also very disappointing especially since it was cold.
  
  I'm not really a seafood fan so I ordered a hamburger and fries. This was a big mistake. The hamburger meat was just a frozen patty, it was dry, and it had no seasoning. The fries where also just frozen fries, but those did have a little bit of seasoning. However, that didn't do much to add flavor. Everyone else actually ordered seafood and they seemed satisfied with their orders.
  
  The staff was really friendly, but I think the service could have been a little better. They did come by our table often, but they seemed more pre-occupied on seeing if you wanted to order anything else rather than actually checking up on you. The bathrooms are also suprisingly clean and the bathroom attendant is really friendly.
  
  To drink I decided to try a Michelada. I personally did not like the drink just becauee I'm not really a fan of tomatos or beer. After being moved around so much a waitress offered our whole table a complimentary round of drinks. I ordered a mango margarita with chamoy and tajin. This drink was really good and quite strong. However, the drinks weren't really consistent. 3 other people also ordered the same drink and all 4 margaritas  looked different. It also took a while to get our drinks,  bit they were free so I'm not really complaning.
  
  The thing I really liked about this restraunt and the real reason I think its packed is the ambiance. When we arrived there was a Paquita la Del Barrio imitator performing. They really did a great job at entertaining the crowd. Afterwards there was a Mariachi perfroming and I also really enjoyed hearing them sing.
  
  Overall this place was kinda disappointing. I do recommend coming here for drinks and entertainment, but based on my experience I wouldn't come here for the food.

  The best. Wonderful mexican seafood, quick and friendly service, fun music and crowd, drinks are priced right... A weekly staple for me, I especially love their ceviche and alambre!

  Do not go here for the food! They always have some sort of entertainer on stage and are always packed on the weekends. Family friendly which can be great if you have kids or a nightmare if you don't.
  The food is awful! Wait times are ridiculous, wait staff is incompetent.
  Our food took forever and when it finally arrived, our sides were cold , the shrimp was over cooked and tasteless.
  I specifically asked the waitress if their Aguas Frescas were indeed natural and she had the nerve to say yes so I ordered the pineapple agua fresca. Nope, not Fresca, it was a powdered, pineapple flavored drink!

  Stopped here the other weekend and I would suggest going to another restaurant for some quality seafood. The menus is large and theres lots too choose from however the flavor is just OK.
