Visited for the first time and if I'm in the area again I will definitely return. The food was deliciously seasoned. The service was good the servers were friendly. Good location and great atmosphere. There's a section outside that's really nice . There's music and dancing if you want. The restaurant looks clean.

The food is great! My family and I went for the first time and we were surprised on how great the food and atmosphere was (they do karaoke night on weekends)! We all got different seafood dishes. All the dishes were great and tasty! This place serves true authentic Mexican dishes! We all left with desire to come back again soon! 5 star service and 5 star food!
