| - This restaurant was more like 4-1/2 stars. Really good seafood, very flavorful and fresh, served in a no-frills eastside downtown location. Loved the aguachiles shrimp, the carne asada, the molcajetes and the fish tacos too. The fried fish has this really crispy but thin coating that is just the best! I am used to cabbage with fish tacos, so the lettuce they came with was a bit weird, but maybe that's a regional preference? The mango chela and micheladas were great; as was their Jamaica, which was tart, fresh-tasting, very cold...delicious!
The salsas are excellent, and the tortillas were fresh. But we didn't eat much of the beans that came with the meals...they had no taste at all.
The only thing we kinda regretted ordering was the fried ice cream. It was frozen much too hard (in my experience, fried ice cream is frozen hard, THEN put into a deep fryer for a just a bit, before serving it, to soften it and crisp up the coating); and it was not served in the "cone bowl" as earlier reviews had pictured it.
Stick with the seafood and you'll have a tasty meal!! And the owner is super-nice :-)
