Gail H.Gail H: Babyback rib pork taco is a must order. Also the branzino is delish. Very accomodating to make the slaw w/o onions so you know its fresh! Jamon & queso also good but salty. Skip the tamale.

Andrea T.Andrea Tucker: Pork belly tacos, pork rib taco, lobster taco, and the shrimp taco. YUM

Monica P.Monica Paoluzzi: Start with chips (fresh fried!) salsa and guacamole, then get tacos and fish (I tried both lobster and branzino and they were amazing!). If you prefer meat, ribs are really good too ;) Best mex ever!
