Very convenient location in the mall. We went during the week and were seated pretty quickly with a party of 3. Nice atmosphere with TVs and music. Has a bar vibe. They started us with a shot of warm shrimp soup. It wasn’t bad, but definitely a little fishy. The coconut margarita was very good but I was a little upset that as the waitress was grabbing it from the bartender, she spilled quite a bit of it and they didn’t make a new one or fill it with more drink.

Los camarones empanizados fueron uno de mis favoritos: crujientes por fuera, jugosos por dentro, perfectamente dorados y con un sabor que resalta sin necesitar demasiados acompañamientos. La tostada de atún es ideal para quienes disfrutan del pescado en su forma más fresca; el atún apenas salteado conserva su textura suave y un sabor intenso que se equilibra con los demás ingredientes. El guacamole es otro acierto, cremoso, bien sazonado y perfecto para compartir al centro de la mesa. Y las quesadillas de marlin, con su sabor ahumado y textura firme, redondean muy...
