Had the fish cheviche tostados. Best thing I’ve eaten in PV. Staff was also so nice to my baby and brought him things to entertain him so we could eat. Thankful for that!

My wife had breaded shrimp and I had shrimp ceviche. Both were excellent. The beer was ice cold but the service was a little slow. Prices are average.

Food and service was great. Menu in English , but no English spoken . Seafood cocktail (shrimp, oysters , octopus) was so fresh and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Food was awesome. We had the breaded shrimp and shrimp ceviche. The only negative was we felt like the waitress didn't want to be there.

Very friendly staff and fresh sea food, saw fresh oysters being dropped off at the street stand. The guy asked if I wanted to try them, he told grab a table in the seating area and a minute later he brought them to the table. They have authentic Mexican sea food dishes and the prices are very reasonable.

This was the best authentic Mexican seafood we’ve had so far in Puerto Vallarta. The tuna sashimi was particularly tasty and spicy.
