5 Stars... better believe it! It was seriously that good. You walk in and you can smell the goodness and the you just know you're going to sit there in a food coma. I came here with my boyfriend and we ordered a cajun shrimp burrito, shrimp and steak bowl, and 2 blackened fish tacos. The servers/cooks there were really friendly and helpful, they helped my indecisive self decide what to get or else I would have been standing there an eternity before I could decide.

Fish Tacos: This was superb. The fish had so much flavor, the tortilla was soft but held the taco together, and the sauce and the toppings were fresh. If you're gonna get one thing here, then get this because like the guy at the counter said to me and boyfriend, " you're gonna want more, trust me." He was totally right.

Cajun Shrimp Burrito: Large pieces of shrimp and the burrito was filled with them, every bite had shrimp. The shrimp was also spicy! A little bit too oily for my liking but I really liked the flavor.

The steak was the real star because it was bursting with flavor. I feel like this was the dish that showcased their mastery of the grill.

The prices were reasonable, their portions were great, and the service was wonderful. I hope they keep it up because they are an excellent choice if you're in the mood for fresh...

The only taqueria I eat at in Fremont. In fact, my favorite taqueria I've discovered in my 37 years on this noble quest. The fish tacos are the best I've had anywhere. The salsa has good flavor and IS NOT that watery, flavorless red liquid fire you get at the other taquerias around town. The service (particularly by the owner) is top notch and on par or exceeds the high standards set by San Francisco and other food meccas in the Bay Area. The place is off the beaten path and isn't overly crowded at lunch or dinner time, which is another bonus. Full disclosure, I DID NOT get paid to write this, and I'm not related in any way to...

We stopped in here during a furry convention, about 13 in our party, and about 21 people in the restaurant total. There were only two chefs running the piece at the time, who really went above and beyond for so many people at no notice.

Even in the middle of the rush, one of the chefs took the time to give special attention to one of our group with autism, walking them through the ingredients and what to put on their order.

Absolutely amazing, professional service that knows how to manage a kitchen, and the food was amazing. Very thankful for their patience and...
