“ My husband and I have been coming here for over 25 years! We love this place. The seafood is always fresh and tasty. They have a large varity for everyone. Even those that aren't seafood fans. I always get oysters, a seafood cocktail (they have the best pulp around) I sometimes get the garlic shrimp. My husband loves the tostadas and my son loves the mojata frita. All around, we highly recommend this place! ”
“ I was in desperate need of a michelada and I found this place and they sure make a pretty darn good michelada. I also ordered a caldo de camarón and it was very good too. Even the chips and salsa you get before hand are good. The service was good. We were taken care of real nice. The restaurant is nice and clean and it has plenty of tables that are spread apart and not crowded at all. I also ordered a 7 mares to go and our server gave me extra chips to take home. Real good service once again. I am glad I came across this restaurant when I was in need of a drink and good food. ”
“ This is a place with outstanding quality of food for a very reasonable price. I was there for a dinner and ordered shrimp wrapped in bacon. It was delicious! It was served with rice and salad on the side. All the ingredients were fresh and well done. The service was also great, no delays and no long wait. The salad was finely chopped and the tortillas on the side were nice and hot. For dessert I had flan. It was so yummy ! This restaurant is a jem in the middle of Fullerton. I would highly recommend it. ”
