We came in fairly late 9:30pm. It wasn’t busy at this time. Service was outstanding with quick friendly service. Food was great ( we had the chef salad and Caesar salad) and a few drinks. I am very impressed with this place as they went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, which is a nice change from the normal.

Certainly the best octopus that I’ve had in Puerto Morelos and the bucket of garlic shrimp was pretty much dinner for 2 of us. Service is fantastic as well - David is a rock star. Karla the chef came by and introduced herself and made sure everything was top notch.

Wow, the best meal I have had in this part of Mexico yet! Really great fajitas and salsas. Our waiter was super friendly, thanks Thomas! And gave us 2 delicious reeses tasting shots after dinner! Definitely will return!!!

We ate here a few days ago. The food and service was very good. We had the lime marinaded chicken and the ribs. Both both dishes were cooked to perfection and the ribs came with a delicious bourbon bbq sauce. All great and highly recommended.

Great food and fantastic service. Armando is the absolute definition of great customer service! Their tortilla soup is very good, their paella (only on Saturdays) and fajitas are excellent!

Good love music at night sometimes. Good food and drinks, fair prices. The lobster Alfredo was tasty. Drinks were about 8 and tasted good but not the biggest we had for that price. The quesadillas were very underwhelming. Really enjoy their tables on the street at night.

Delicious and fun. We loved everything and the little surprises thrown in.

Love this restaurant with its atmosphere and food. Carla, the chef and Armando, the I do everything guy are wonderful and create a fabulous atmosphere with their friendliness.!!
