Absolutely a wonderful experience! The food was amazing. Our server, Yahaira, was fabulous. The table side guacamole was delicious, and my tacos had so much flavor. The "Torre De Mariscos" was so unbelievable that I don't even have words! I highly recommend this place!

This place was great. I’ll admit it didn’t start off good. When I walked in and told the hostess “we are 7” her response was “we don’t have a table for 7”. I said “well 6 and a baby” and she replied “we don’t have that either. We only have one for 4” Her statement was final. It didn’t have an air of “no tables right now but it’ll be ready in 15”. I had to ask how long would it be. Moving past that. Our waiter was excellent. The food was delicious. I’m so happy to have finally tried this place. I got the Molcajete and it was incredible. Also got the bacon wrapped mozzarella stuff shrimp and that was also great! Not a single complaint about the food or wait staff. Will definitely be back.

We are Mexican and were at bit skeptical about this place being legit due to its location. We were soooo wrong. The food was DELICIOUS. the aguachiles de camarones and pulpo were my favorite. I think about them all the time. My husband got the molcajete that he loved and I got the 3 amigo platter. The portions are amazing, I had enough for the next day. Chips and salsa complementary and the drinks were good. I cannot wait to come back. Worth the 2ish hour drive from fort Lauderdale although i have to say it definitely is a bit on the expensive side.

We went on a Saturday evening. Had about a 10 minute wait. The food was awesome and the Hugh 14 margaritas were on special and we're very good. Service was not the best. I think it was just our waiter tho. I think he was new. All in all everything was great. I will definitely go back

Yum; I love the chimichangas here! They are just the right size and the beef is shredded. For a party of 9 the service was pretty quick and the staff was accommodating to dietary restrictions. The patio is a great place to sit as the sun is going down to enjoy the warmth and breeze.

Very nice restaurant. Staff very friendly, place was clean. I really loved the seats. The entire atmosphere was wonderful. We got the chicken and veggie quesadillas. It was a lot and the food was well seasoned.
