“ I'm always skeptical about going to a Mexican restaurant since I am Mexican myself and can cook. I was recommended by a friend to try it out, so I did...and boy oh boy it didn't disappoint at all! I had a shrimp tostada and a plate of camarones al mojo de Ajo. Fresh delicious and they use huge shrimp! Great flavors, perfectly seasoned. My friends had a shrimp cocktail, full of large seafood pieces, so big she couldn't finish it. My other friend had the Chile Verde, perfectly seasoned, so tender it melted in your mouth. Great service, great atmosphere especially if you're craving that homemade cooked meal feel. ”
