Party of five on a Saturday evening. Wonderful menu with lots of options, even for the non seafood lover. Our waitress was Isabel and she was great! The chips and salsa are yummy! Pretty close to authentic Mexican food as you can get in Oklahoma! The food was amazing, not one single complaint from anyone! Would recommend many times over!

Omg!! The best Mexican seafood in Oklahoma City! And trust me I’ve tried so many of them. I’ve been searching for shrimp tacos that I’ve tried in California and I have finally found them these are them! So far everything I ordered tasted amazing I can’t wait to go back to try more from the menu. If you’re searching for an amazing experience you should come here.

Very fresh seafood. It was like visiting Mexico. There was a band that stopped by for a little bit to play for tips. There were two people that came through selling their beef jerky, a lady selling deserts, and a lady selling toys and key chains. All it was missing was a kid trying to sell chiclets and wooden snakes. They had the best octopus I have ever had. It was a really great and I will definitely be back.

Stopped in hoping for some refreshing ceviche on a hot day and was not disappointed! The ceviche de pescado was light and flavorful with a great texture. The ceviche casero was a whole other story. I will come back just to eat it alone. On top of that, their quesabirria tacos with consomme was delicious.

Really good Mexican sea food! The place was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. Fish was cooked perfectly and was tasty. They had a variety of hot sauces to pick from. The sides were also very good. All meals come with chips, salsa, and small soup. Very much enjoyed eating here.

The place is small but spotless, very clean, and the service is awesome! Our waitress was super attentive and friendly, but the food? Amazing! I got the Vallarta Molcajete – fair warning, it's HOT! Seriously boiling hot and spicy, but not crazy spicy. It's totally worth it.
