    Great food and customer service. We love coming, food always arrives pretty quick and the waiters are always super attentive. We stopped by on a weekday for a birthday and Alex helped us. He was great like always.

    Environment ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
    About a 45-minute wait. The restaurant is loud and very “party-like”—people singing birthday songs, taking photos, and even small vendors walking around selling items.
    If you’re coming with a big group, this would actually be a fun place to celebrate.

    Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

    * Tacos Capeados ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
    Solid—pretty standard fish tacos.
    * Mariscada Caliente ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆
    Good overall, but a few shrimp weren’t deveined, and the squid clearly tasted frozen.
    At this price point, I expected fresher seafood.

    Came here for mexican food while I was in San Jose and honestly, the food was seriously good.

    We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, calamari and pulpo, molcajete mixto, shrimp and octopus ceviche, the mixta in green aguachile, plus pork, beef, and fish tacos, and everything hit perfectly.

    The seafood tasted really fresh and the texture was on point, the octopus was tender and soft, not rubbery at all, and the fried calamari rings had a nice bite and were flavourful. The ceviche was bright and citrusy, super refreshing with that perfect tang, and the green aguachile had a nice kick, spicy, zesty, and really addictive.
    The molcajete mixto came out sizzling and packed with flavor, rich, creamy, and everything soaked up that sauce so well. The consome was especially good, super flavorful, deep and savory, warm and comforting, perfect to sip between bites.

    The tacos were simple but done right, juicy meats, well seasoned, soft tortillas, everything balanced and satisfying.

    Overall, really solid spot if you are craving bold, flavorful Mexican food, definitely one of those places you go back to just for the taste. Will definitely be back if I’m ever in SJ again.

    Best food and atmosphere on earth. This is my favorite place to go out. Their menu covers just about everything you could want. Try the sushi pastor and the octopus. Friday night is double michalada for happy hour. They are a meal by themselves and delicious. All the servers are very helpful. There’s always a family atmosphere.
