    Ordered the crab and shrimp tostada. I asked the waiter if the crab was real or made from polok or other fish…he said “oh yes” very good and real crab”…the dish was soggy, the crab is not real and the shrimp were so miniscule you really could have used a magnifying glass to see them. Major disappointment. The only thing we ordered that tasted fresh and not pre-made was the table side guacamole. It was good but nothing special. The ambience is fun because it’s nostalgic. So if you only go for drinks and ambience the place is great…a bit noisy but fun. The food could use some help. Even the refried beans and rice tasted cold and looked like it had been sitting on a plate in the kitchen waiting for a customer to get it. The place gets a sold C from me unfortunately.

    We arrived and were seated almost immediately, as requested inside. Unfortunately, the noise level was high, we requested to be seated outside. We were accommodated, Marco our server was amazing! We ordered four drinks, two were brought out, the other two were still being prepared. Marco brought out tequila shots while we waited for our drinks. We ordered our food and an appetizer. The food was bland in my opinion, my guests enjoyed their food. Overall the drinks and atmosphere are great. I’d go back for appetizers, drinks and atmosphere.
