I came to this establishment on a Saturday afternoon because I was in the mood for some Ceviche, the atmosphere gave me Tijuana vibes, the Chips & Salsa were good, the three Ceviche tostadas were excellent , the Shrimp Cocktail was delicious, the waitress was great as well. The laidback environment is something I enjoyed and I would recommend to anyone to give this place a try! Five stars!
