| - The little one (8 yrs old) and I came here for some seafood (well, she wanted Mexican pizza but I talked her into shrimp cocktail as I wanted to check this place out). We walked in and the Mariachi band was playing kinda blocking the door. My first thought was, "this is cool and appears to be authentic". My second thought was, "I hope they move before we open the door so all eyes aren't on us!". Thank goodness they moved in time (I'm a little shy w/ age ).
We were greeted with a smile and menus. We pointed to the table (booth) we wanted and sat down. Chips, salsa, limes and a cup of liquid came to the table. I tasted it and it tasted like Old Bay seasoning so I figured it was some kind of juice for the seafood and set it to the side. The server didn't understand English and my Spanish wasn't working well (maybe because it's 116 degrees outside or because the music was too loud) so she got a nice gentleman who may have been the owner to come to our table. He was great with recommending dishes (& a drink). And he told me the cup of liquid was shrimp soup which we can squeeze the "limon" in and it's very good. Duh! That's soup! Not only is my Spanish not working but my brain isn't either (did I mention it's 116 degrees outside). Anyway, I settled on the mango margarita (not on the menu), seafood stuffed steamed fish (no cream or cheese), and a side of guacamole. My little one had a medium shrimp cocktail. Drink was tasty (although I didn't taste the alcohol) and food was fresh, lightly seasoned but flavorful. Side note: as I type this I am feeling a little sweaty and realize it's a little hot in here (A/C not very strong). Anyway, back to the food. My little one loved the soup after she squeezed a lot of limes in it and then she enjoyed using the big spoon to find the shrimp in her shrimp cocktail!
Throughout the entire visit the service was great with the servers and the manager/owner coming frequently to check on us. When I told the manager/owner that I didn't taste the alcohol in the drink, he gave me a glass of champagne (nice!). The band was gracious too; they asked if we had any request to which I couldn't think of any songs. I'm a Celia Cruz fan which is not mariachi music. But I enjoyed everything that they played and loved when they gave the mic to a few of the patrons who had amazing voices. It was like mariachi karaoke!
Overall, 4 stars and we will be back. If this review was in the fall/winter then it may have been 5 stars. Check it out for yourself!
