    This place is great. The servers are really friendly and the food is amazing. Sitting family style makes for another type of experience. Everything we've tried on the menu we have enjoyed.

    Mahi Mahi ceviche is by far the best. I wonder what people are ordering here that they love so much? Restricted menu today. Could not try their tacos.

    The tacos are great! Especially the braised pork shoulder, and battered shrimp (lightly battered). The Carne Asada is also delicious but beware it comes with a bit of a kick. Chicken also solid.

    Pretty much everything is excellent from ceviche to quesadilla camaron. Their flan is one of the best I ate and exactly the right size.

    Mahi mahi and camaron Ceviche is pretty awesome. You can go for individual or Ceviche trio whoch also comes with red snapper.

    The paella is amazing, can't get enough of the orange salsa that comes out with the chips.

    My friend suggested this place and knowing nothing about it I just turned up. Was expecting Mexican food but it really wasn't. Wasn't Peruvian either but close to it. So glad we went. Loved it all!

    The caldo de mariscos is soupy flavorful with lots of seafood goodness. A meal in of itself.

    Everything is very spicy - with no indication on the menu. Even paella which traditionally should have almost no spice. Not for everyone.

    Avoid the arepitas and mango mahi mahi ceviche. Tacos are ok, go for those

    Not a quiet place and the service was slow, but all of the food was delicious! We weren't warned about a cake cutting fee either.

    The civiche trio is good but personally I wasn't a huge fan of the snapper, very bland compared to how DELICIOUS the mahi mahi and shrimp civiche are.

    Tacos de Camaron are the ones... Seafood is their specialty. Stick to that otherwise you'll end up disappointed...
