Crab and shrimp dip is absolutely amazing . I had the chicken and chorizo tacos and my husband had the tuna tacos. They were both the best tacos we have ever had , and we eat at Mexican restaurants once a week back home. Hands down the best Mexican food we have eaten.

Not a beachfront restaurant but offers good service and food. The drinks were great and service was prompt. Our server was kind and checked on us regularly. The chicken fajitas and taco were fresh and tasted great, so was the salsa.
