I have nothing but great things to say about this restaurant! We ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters and it wasn’t as fresh as if we were right by the ocean but it was still delicious. For our entrees we got camarones empanizados(fried shrimp) & it was crunchy and flavorful. The pechuga de pollo(grilled chicken) was also so good seasoned perfectly. The salads were a nice addition to the meals. The rice was also cooked perfect it was very flavorful. Definitely recommend this place the service was good & we got our food fast.

This place has Mexican seafood that is done right. I have passed by for years, never stopped in and finally I ate here and the food was delicious and I couldn't stop eating. My girlfriend and I, we're very surprised at the quality of food and the quantity. The ladies were very nice and attentive to our needs. And even explain to us what the mayonnaise was for. If you want an authentic experience eating Mexican seafood. This is the place to go in colorado springs.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! This is a great seafood restaurant that you walk in and it’s a homey atmosphere and not packed for being 3:30pm. I got a marlin smocked taco and a gobernador shrimp taco. I have never tasted a marlin taco before lots of flavors in ever bite too and the sauce they give you part great with both tacos and a slice of lime perfect combo. One of the best shrimp tacos I have ever tasted! The flavors in every bite, if you ever want a good tasting see food this one’s worth the visit! Definitely coming back!

First: Super awesome service! Second: We got 1/2 dozen oysters, shrimp ceviche, and poblano cream shrimp. It was SO YUMMY!!! Plus their salsa and chips were perfection. Loved the spice level. They also have a wide variety of hot sauces. Can’t wait to come back and try other menu items!
