Used to eat here all the time when I was growing up. Parking can be a pain but it's totally worth it. The food and service are awesome! Can't beat the location either.

Great shrimp and fish Baja tacos, ask for extra Baja sauce so the are more flavorful. Seafood enchiladas are also very good. Great margaritas. Can be load and noisy at times.

Get the shrimp tacos! Ridiculously good. And filling! Choose your own tortillas. Plus outside covered seating.

Miranda doesn't know what she's talking about, Las Olas is a FANTABULOUS place to eat and has a great location.

If the food matched the location on the lagoon side of San Elijo Lagoon, this place would be great. But it is a disappointing place.

This used to be the place to go. Not anymore. Service is terrible, the food is mediocre. Except the last time we ate there. The last time we finally walked out after waiting 45 min. for a taco.
