One must overcome the look of the neighborhood and it's neighbor "soup kitchen". I used to volunteer at this "soup kitchen" and the street people are not a danger to this neighborhood. The restaurant is a large and open room with about 10 booths and 20 tables, an aquarium and loud loud Mexican music! Did I mention it is loud? Five or six waitresses, friendly, helpful and patient rush about serving the quests. A Friday early evening, my wife and I were the only non latinos in the place. The food was as beautiful as it was excellent. We ordered shrimp quesadillas (9.99) and a deep fried whole red snapper in garlic sauce (13.99) both excellent. The portions were huge!! The snapper was 12 to 14 inches long! I have taken off one star for the overly loud music. The bathroom and restaurant were clean and service was good. We will surely return! Perhaps with ear plugs :)
