The grilled fish 🐠 and shrimp 🍤 was delicious, the Alfredo pasta, not, I didn’t like it at all, the drinks can be improved, and service... horrible, too slow, drinks without straw, never around for a refill, and you have to wait 10min for the next plate on your all you can eat fish and shrimp, by the way the first plate comes with fries and cole slaw, the next one just the fish and shrimps. Honestly the service took off two stars ⭐️ on this review.

Service was very friendly but seemed rushed. Grilled shrimp was great, I also liked the blackened and fried shrimp but preferred grilled. It was all you could eat and I did. Good way to try different things.

A MUST TRY! This used to be a gas station that got turned into an awesome hole in the wall Fish restaurant, all their menu is great! They are know for their all you can eat shrimp. Just remember to order your next plate as soon as you get a plate. Since it does take 10 minutes or more to get a plate. Blackened is amazing, so Is Galrlic, and pan fried. Enjoy

Overpriced food tortillas we're stale tea is powdered tea. They don't have a large variety of food either. My husband asked for a different drink and they gave him the same cup for ice disgusting. Never again will we eat there!

They know fish! The place does not look like much and sometimes my lack of Spanish hinders understanding, but the people in the kitchen are geniuses when it comes to cooking fish (sea bass, not junk!). We love this place! [Bring cash. Plastic not accepted]

Great staff. Our group filled the place up and the staff did a very good job of keeping up with our requests for food and drinks. The blacked fish and shrimp was very good, as was the garlic shrimp. I am looking forward to a return trip.

Don’t go here if you want fancy decor, modern furniture or ordinary food. This is a small place- it was quite busy when we were there but not packed. For us, it service was quick and friendly - .we went for the all you can eat fish. The waitress said it was sea bass. They also have all you can eat fish and shrimp for a few dollars more. The all you can eat fish plate came with a big serving of fish- (btw you can choose from fried, grilled, blackened or garlic )- the size of the fish surprised us as to how big it was.Would recommend for great value in a down to earth setting.

Food is delicious, Authentic Mexican food. Great prices for the food and quality. Giving it 4 stars only because the place could be cleaner, aside from that the food itself gets 5 stars. Definitely recommend getting the chicken tortilla soup, or the empanadas chicken or cheese you won't be disappointed.

The food was ok. Didn't have much flavor. The waitress seemed like she was bothered. Service was terrible. I'm very disappointed. We ordered the buffet. We had to call the waitress by raising our hands up in the air like little kids that are in school SMH!!!! We will not come again.😠

My husband and I came here on a Monday night around 7:00P.M. during Thanksgiving week. When we entered the restaurant, one of the waitresses told us that we could seat ourselves. After we sat down at a table near the back of the establishment, we ordered our drinks as a guy from another table spoke with us quickly about his stay in the area and around the world. Our table was not sturdy so she offered us another table, and we moved to our new seating place. We ordered the enchiladas ($7-$8)and the all you can eat fish and shrimp($11-$12), blackened and fried. Gosh, the food was delicious and fresh! In addition, the waitress answered all of our questions, and she was friendly. We will definitely return during our next beach vacation. Thanks for the great food and customer service!

Good food but when ordering the "All you can eat" shrimp or fish,you end up with 3 shrimps n 2 pc of fish per serving which could take up to 20 min from order to order,almost like you need to beg for what you paid for.

Ordered all you can eat fish. Food was good but the service was horrible. They never came back after they served us. No way were we ever going to get any more fish. Could not even get a refill on tea. If you want all you can eat fish or shrimp 1 block down the street on the same side is a restaurant with real customer service and good food.

Great food, I must say I'm a local from down the street and not easily impressed with restaurants and their seafood but let me tell you come by you won't be upset. Yes service is a bit slow, keep in mind chips, food, etc made to order. From my experience seems that most locals order to go and people are constantly picking orders up. But yes definitely a must try from a LOCAL not tourist.

Hole in the wall seafood place with really good food. Rather than the all you can eat option, we ordered the one trip fish plate and the shrimp and fish plate, garlic flavor. The seafood was amazing but the fries were just as good! Important note: They only take cash, so hit the ATM on your way there because without it, you'll be washing dishes for a day : )

Food was good. Prices cheap. Service slow. DO NOT ORDER ALL YOU CAN EAT. You will wait at least 15 min, probably more, to get your second helping. We had to flag someone down to get a reorder. Also, we used one hand to eat and one to shoo away the flies. Cash only. Staff was nice enough but definitely had to get their attention for anything.

The service was horrible. They have you waiting around for your next “all you can eat fish and shrimp”. No one checks up on you. We finally gave up and waived the waitress over. She even made us a face when she saw and had someone else come attend us. Honestly the service alone makes us not want to come back, even though the food is quite good and cheap. We’ve been here a handful of times and it’s always the same thing. So definitely not coming back.

OMG... The best fish and shrimp I've ever had in a very long time! The fish was sea bass, and the shrimp were medium and both perfectly cooked. Was more than I expected from a small home town restaurant. I was here on a slow season (December) , so I did get excellent service.

Authentic as they come. The fajitas were tender and full of flavor as well as the chips and salsa. Best hidden treasure around. Also very affordable. Right at $21 for two people including drinks and an appetizer plus more food than we could eat.

Was disappointed that they were not serving fish when I arrived around lunchtime. They do not serve alcohol, which was somewhat disappointing but not a dealbreaker. We ordered simple breakfast dishes that took way too long to come out, and our server was rather unfriendly. Tortillas were good though.
