| - One of my first reviews of a WI based venue in almost a year! Mexican fare of all things! (like I dont have that all over in SD right?)
Anywho, my folks and I always try and pick a new unique place none of us have been to before I head back to Cali after vacations home so after some talk, Mexican was the cuisine, what kind or what theme was unknown. Yelp's help got us to find this place. Open for 3 years almost we liked what we saw and I liked the idea of a seafood-centric Mexican place over what I normally find in SD (tacos, burritos, chilaquiles, tortas etc....)
Overall this place was awesome. I really did end up liking how much seafood selection the place had to offer. It did offer non-seafood dishes and options, yes but by and far most is food from the sea prepared in Mexican fashion with all the traditional staples accounted for,
Between our 3 entrees, the large sized molcajete stone bowl, 7 mares bowl of soup we have more than enough for 3 people let me say! 5 easy even with my bottomless pit!
I would order everything we had again for sure. My fajitas were a little bit on the oily side I must say. I like mine more on the dry grill/char side vs soaked in oils. Still good but not ideal.
The server/co-owner was very nice and kind. We spoke to her quite a bit about the restaurant, the food, their start, what items they pride themselves on etc. Pretty neat to get the inside scoop from her.
Our bill was right about $90 but again, 3 entree's and 3 large shareable items were ordered and we had 3 boxes of take home AFTER we ate what we could. So this made for almost 6 meals of seafood based Mexican food that we enjoyed. Plus this was a splurge of sorts as its the last good meal I had with the parents before scooting back out to SD.
If you're in Madison and crave Mexican but want something clearly off the beaten path and like seafood, this is your place for sure.
