My boyfriend and I decided to check this restaurant out on a random Friday night, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience! The food was fresh and delicious, with homemade guacamole and mouthwatering burritos that really impressed me. Plus, sitting by the water at sunset with great service made it an unforgettable evening-definitely looking forward to returning soon!

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant by the water with delicious food and drinks, great service, and a lovely ambiance. The view at sunset was incredible, the food tasted fresh and homemade, and the service was prompt and attentive. I can't wait to come back and enjoy the outdoor patio during warm weather!

10/13/2008 - Great if you like flies and bad service
Never again. October 12th 2008 and this place was loaded with flys buzzing the tables. Disgusting. We got sat outside right away. Had some stiff Magaritas and it took them an hour to take our order. It then took 2 1/2 hours for our food to arrive. We had to move inside before the food came because wwe were waiting to so long the weather got cold and it got dark out. The abundance of flys is really disgusting. I took one bite of my food and decided not to eat it. The enchiladas were awful said my friends. $120.00 wasted on garbage, flies and a bad time. YUCK!!! Thank goodness we did have chips and salsa for the whole time we waited for our food. however we had to flag down other servers and bus persons to get refills. We even had to go to the bar ourselves to fill up our dinks. I would not reommend this restaurant to anyone. Very few people that work there even speak english. Plenty of flying insects including large black flies abound INSIDE! Terrible service. Dirty restrooms with garbage cans spilling out onto the floor. Margaritas were really good however. Great view. Makes you wish you were out on the water and not waiting with the flies for hours waiting for the food to arrive. We came by boat and they do have a really nice dock.
