The restaurant is small and a bit out of the way – but worth seeking it out. We’ve been to PV for the past14 years and this place is a find. We stopped in for lunch. The fried shrimp tacos were amazing. We plan to…return for dinner tomorrow. They close at 6:00 p.m. The service is efficient and friendly. Not to be missed.More

As reported by most reviewers, the food here is exceptional. As expected, the fish tacos were amazing! It should be know that everything is made fresh to order so don’t expect to come in here for a quick bite. You will have to wait a…few minutes. However, the wait is worth it. I just thought this would be worth noting because I brought my family here at the end of the beach day when we were all a little peckish and tired and the wait for the food was a little longer than expected. Still… I will be back and I believe they have the best fish tacos in PV.More

Trust me – go here if you want tacos that are way above the norm. Shrimp burrito – fantastic. Simple venue, lotsa traffic noise.

Had the fish taco to start, mmmmm, delicious and a great starter, you could have a couple and make a meal, Also had the ceviche tostada. Again, vvery nice little starter. Main course was the Prawn Burrito, comes with a small side salad. That is…a meal. Very delicious. Large tortilla stuffed with prawns in a delicious sauce. Angel, the server, was very gracious, speaks very good English, and very helpful with menu choices. The agua fresca is a great accompiament to the seafood. fresh squeezed juices!!!! Two of ate a lot, for 600 pesos. The mago and tuna tostada looked fantastic at the next table and will be the first thing I will have next time, tomorrow.More

Given the reviews I expected a lot more. The menu is smallish here. Mostly variations on the same things. And that menu has no prices on it. One of the items they have variations on is octopus. But they had none. So the mixed seafood…cocktail I wanted was not available. Nor were any of the other items with octopus of course. I had the chicken burrita and it was good, but at a surprising 160 pesos was far from worth it. Last night I had a meal that included a cup of atole, a taco, a sope, an enchalada and a bowl of pozole all of which where excellent for 135 pesos. My wife had raw tuna with mango on the tiniest tostada I have ever seen for 55 pesos. And it was not great. Near the beach we had the same recently on a tostada 3 times the size with twice as much tuna on it for 50 in a nice restaurant. Also one of the worst bathrooms I’ve seen in PV. Definitely would not go back.More

Incredible Seafood spot for lunch or an early dinner..Possibly the best seafood tacos, in PV. They also do Tostadas, Burritas, Aguachilies, Cocktails and Poke Bowls. Everything is very fresh and tasty. The homemade Salsas are addicting. Angel is a superb server! They are closing at…the end of next week, for the slow season so catch them now !More

I went here based completely on the amazing reviews on here, but am extremely surprised that this is the highest rated restaurant. PV has so many good places to eat and in a week here, this might have been the worst place, though it wasn’t…bad either. Poor ambience, right along a busy street, busy and understaffed. A group of 4 of us had a variety of items and a couple of items we couldn’t eat. The rest of the food was good but nothing great. I know i’m comparing this place to a high standard that you get in PV, especially for tacos. This place is just very average at best.More
