Amazing consistent food every time and excellent service and prices. I can't say enough good things about this place

I was visiting family in the bay and was craving mariscos. The restaurant looks freshly remodeled so it definitely is modernized. The staff was very easy going and knew how to strike good conversation. I started off with what they call a preparada which to my understanding is their version of a Michelada. It was different but had a great taste so I had to order a second one. I also ordered a coctel de camaron y pulpo (shrimp and octopus) and it was right on the money. Everything tasted fresh and it didn't taste like Clamato and ketchup which I loved. To my understanding they have a live band every Friday. I would def recommend this if you're in the area.

Deliciosos cockteles, caldos de pescado y camarones empanizados... Ostiones, muy ricos. Muy amable atención de Alicia y otras personas.

Such a cute spot! Came here on a Sunday and was seated in less than 5 minutes. The service was good as the workers were really nice. I got the super burrito with carne asada and the meat was perfectly chewy and easy to bite. There was also a good amount of sour cream and guac in the burrito which I liked. However, I wasn't really a fan of the tortilla as it was kind of hard but overall this place was great to try!

Monday night: walked in around 8pm and it wasn't busy. Staff were very friendly. Prices and taste are even better! Got 5 tacos, ($3 each) and a side of beans ($5). And a 23 ounce of Pacifico on draft for $6. You cant beat this price for a big glass of beer on tap! Anyways, the chorizo, al pastor and carnitas tacos were freaking amazing. It's been a while that a taco made me say "wow" out loud. These were jam packed with flavor. Free chips and decently spicy flavored salsa. A big juke box that locals were playing good Mexican music on and gets kinda loud, which is fun but not if you want a conversation with someone I bet. I was alone for a work trip so it was awesome! Definitely coming back if I'm in the area!

Really great Mexican seafood spot on San Mateo Ave in San Bruno. Came in late on a Monday and really enjoyed ourselves. Had the oysters which were excellent... super fresh and great with lime Also, had the whole fried red snapper which was cooked perfectly and really delicious. Kids enjoyed the chicken quesadillas, which were meaty and substantial. Enchiladas looked excellent as well. Overall food was great, service was fine if a bit inattentive, and the place just seemed like it could use a bit of a cleanup. Also, would have loved some homemade tortilla chips to go with the excellent salsa.

This was our second time back and we had the same experience. The place was busy with nearly every table filled, and mostly filled with happy Spanish speaking people which is a good sign. The salsa and chips are yummy. The service is really friendly, but maybe not so attentive. Granted they were busy on both occasions. If we wanted more drinks or the check, we had to wave someone down. Their platters always sound good but taste wise, they are only ok. We've tried the Camarones a la Diabla and a whole Fish. The sauce is spicy and flavorful with an odd after taste. I can't pinpoint it. The rice and beans are good but the salad has no dressing and the protein is over cooked. The Fish Ceviche and Shrimp Tostada were ok. The corn tortillas were great. Their Tacos, however, are really good. We had the Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Al Pastor, all made super. The meat was all flavored well. There was so much filling that I was able to split some with my tortillas to make another taco. My son had a flour Cheese Quesadilla. It was very large and so gooey. The cheese was of high quality, not oily, and melted really well. The cheese tasted yummy. My son loved his quesadilla. Their Cadillac Margaritas were outstanding. The Paloma was ok. I'm so glad they have a full bar. Plus they had a live band playing which we loved. It was Cinco de Mayo though, so I'm not sure if they play on regular nights. Our previous visit was on a Saturday afternoon.
