Fodor's Review:
The street corner on which the small restaurant is tucked means noise on either side. Service is reasonably attentive, although it sometimes seems grudging. Still, this is an expat favorite, and no wonder: the food is seriously good and portions generous. The molcajete -- a sizzling black pot of tender flank steak, grilled green onion, and soft white cheese in a delicious homemade sauce of dried red peppers -- is served with a big plate of guacamole, refried beans, and made-at-the-moment corn or flour tortillas.

Traditional Mexican Restaurant
Posted by Janiebii from NJ on 5/5/08
Casual and very inexpensive Mexican restaurant. The shrimp ceviche in the BIG pot is to be shared with more than one person. We must have gotten about 14+ shrimp in it and took most of it home. Good place for an ethnic Mexican restaurant.

My favorite local dive

Ok, it's not fancy but just try and get in the door at dinner time during high season. Locals and snowbirds in the know flock to this place for the authentic Mexican dishes but the real stars of the show are the creative and delicious seafood dishes. Perfectly fresh fish, crab, oysters - yumbo. Try it is the middle of the afternoon for a late lunch to avoid the crowds and you'll probably be the only gringo in the place because the locals love it too.
