Kids loved eating right on the beach. Food was great, service was a little slow.
Amazing quality and quantity for the value! I live in Mexico, I'm not easily surprised by good prices, but the amount of oysters and mussels we got for the value was amazing. We got steak which was awesome, accompanied by a potato, we have ceviche, crab cakes among a few other menu selections which I forget. We had excellent drinks and the staff were very friendly. It was nice and hidden away too. I highly recommend. Leave the resort hell of the hotel zone where most food is trash and come here instead!
We had so much fun here! They had live music and they sang popular songs from the 80's and 90's. We even got up and danced a few times. It was right on the beach, so we had a fantastic view. The food was really good although service was OK. She didn't keep tab off how many bottles of water we ordered and we had a big party, and she asked us how many we ordered. We ordered so many throughout that we didn't know for sure. That's something they should keep track of. She didn't come to the table very often but she was friendly. However, just be aware that the road to get there is really long and terrible! It's a dirt road with tons of ruts. I'm guessing that's what you call them. They're like smaller speed bumps every foot. We felt like all the tires were gonna go flat and the windows shatter driving on this road in our minivan. It's a great place but driver beware.
Really great spot, right on the beach and the food was great and well priced!! We will definitely come back again. We got the full order of clams, oysters and the seafood linguine :)
This is one of those restaurants that brings genuine joy. The food is top notch and extremely affordable and the location is stunning. The owners here are some of the kindest and most honest people. I left my purse here the other day and this man literally chased me down the street to give it back. If you are a seafood lover this place is a must try.
The oysters were incredible! And the service was great. My only complaint was the band that was playing was really loud. It felt like I was at a concert and couldn’t have conversations with my friends at the table. The band was good, but too loud.
