Seafood unlike any other place. Served as Tacos, Quesadillas, Tostadas or Lonches (sandwich). Mix and match a base ingredient,like pork rinds, with cooked or raw seafood (agua chile or ceviche style). Many combinations to explore. A nice selection of ice pops are offered as dessert, perfect for a hot day in town! Very relaxed atmosphere, go for lunch.
