“ Oh my gosh! This place is dynamite. I was using google to try and find the best street food / seafood options near me and I stumbled on to this place. All I can say is wow! I dined here early evening after shopping at the nearby markets and I am so happy that I chose this place. I sat just inside and was able to people watch while also being able to enjoy the wonderful evening weather. I started with a dark beer michelada which was... incredible! And huge. It lasted through my entire meal. I had mixed ceviche, fish tacos and a tuna pescadilla. All were so very tasty. The food came out quickly. There was a fresh salsa bar and they gave three different sauces. I only tried the hot sauce and it was very good! I paid like 200 pesos for all including the tip, I thought there might be something wrong as this seemed too cheap but they insisted... I highly recommend this place! ”
“ Great food and service. Amazing fish tacos, ceviche and michelada too. ”
“ So good! Especially the ceviche mixto and the tuna tostada. Good price. ”
“ Delicious food. My favorite and not the cheapest the pulpo one! Worth a try. Otherwise the other ones like pescadillo taco mentioned on the wall are also very good. I loved the tamarind sauce to add on our food. The place was nice. Only thing that must be improved is the woman’s washroom. First of all it was not easy to find it but quickly an employee showed me the way. Then, the bin in the toilet area was full and toilet papers were falling out. There were many on the floor. There was no more soap for the hands and the bin for the paper to dry your hands were also full and falling out. Absolutely unpleasant experience. My husband got lucky and was surprised to hear that because his washrooms were cleaned. The location is by the parking of the parque De las palapas. Quieter area. I normally don't put 5 stars when I see such of messy washrooms but employees were great, tables were clean, the restaurant has nice ambiance, etc. So just sharing here for them to ensure that next clients don't see that ever again. Most importantly, great seafood. ”
“ The best meal I had in Cancun! They only do seafood but they do it perfectly. The fish tacos was excellently seasoned, flaky and moist yet the batter was crispy and well seasoned too. Prawns were fresh and bouncy, and those fish-filled empanadas(?) were friggin bomb! Excellent service, excellent food at excellent pricing, would definitely return! ”
“ We had a great lunch experience at this cute spot! We ordered two fish tacos and two shrimp tacos, and they were both absolutely delicious. The food was incredibly fresh and fried to perfection, and paired with the offered fresh veggie toppings delivered an extraordinary taste that left me craving for more. The friendly server and the great choice of music added to the charm of the place. Most impressive however were the affordable prices, especially considering the quality of the food. The location is also great, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this fish & seafood restaurant anyone looking for delicious tacos, friendly service, and excellent value for money. ”
“ Very good! Ceviche and fish tacos phenomenal and well priced. The people who leave 1 star reviews at a place like this are idiots ”
“ Went on a sunday and had delicious pulpo tostadas and seafood ceviche along with sparkling limonada. The service was amazing, we were the only people there on a sleepy sunday afternoon since The Plaza de Palapas, just across the street, is closed on Sundays. ”
