“ Amazing food! Great service! Yummy cocktails! The place is really nice to have a meal and drinks We got a bit of everything but the winners were the tuna sashimi and coconut shrimps taco ”
“ The atmosphere was great from start to finish. We all really enjoyed our dishes - the tuna steak burger, the seafood tower - and the mezcalitas were delicious. My mezalita could’ve used a touch more mezcal, but overall they were very refreshing. ”
“ Our favourite meal of the trip. We walked past this little place in the afternoon and it looked inviting, so we decided to return for dinner later on. Lucky we got there around 7, it was full by 7.30 with people waiting outside for tables. We tried 4 dishes, the tuna sashimi, tuna paradise, baja taco and coconut prawn taco. All were sensational, and went well with our cocktails. The staff were super friendly, and made an effort to speak to us in English which was much appreciated. Atmosphere was great with the music and aesthetics. We might even have to go back tomorrow to try more of the menu. Muchas gracias! ”
“ No reservation required. Whilst waiting for our table we sat at the bar and I had a fantastic passionfruit mezcalita (highly recommend!). After 15 minutes, we sat down for our mains. We had the tuna Pescador and the coco shrimps tacos and the tuna tostada! All fantastic and great service! Definitely recommend coming here!! ”
