Delicious seafood. Best mexican seafood I’ve had yet. I had a negra modelo michelada (michelada borracha) highly recommend it if you enjoy micheladas or bloody Mary’s. I ordered a parrillada the sauce they use is a chipotle pepper sauce not too spicy and has a great savory flavor. I would recommend this restaurant especially if you’re hung over, can’t go wrong.

If you love seafood this is the place for you don’t miss out on some delicious food. I haven’t had anything I didn’t like. They do offer non seafood food, just as delicious. The drinks are just delicious.

Although the atmosphere when you first walk in can seem off putting, I urge you to go ahead & be seated. The food was really really good. Everyone in our party really liked their choices. Prices were reasonable. Our waitress took very good care of us with service, explanations of dishes & suggestions according to our individual tastes. They are willing to adjust the drinks & dishes as you choose. Can’t wait to go again

We enjoyed our dinner here tonight. The service was very friendly. The michelada flight was really good. The food was also quite tasty. It is not a very fancy restaurant but it was clean and the menu was good. We will return sometime.

This place is fantastic. Lots of seafood items on the menu in addition to the standard offerings. I had the garlic catfish and the octopus and shrimp tacos. Service was friendly, salsa was fresh and tasty, and the evening we came in they had a game where you could reduce your bill by finding Santa hats – they knocked 9% off of our check.

The service and the food were definitely disappointing. From the appetizers to the main course. No one finished the food they ordered. One of the things that bothered me the most was that the waitress took my entire plate of food away untouched, as well as the other 3 half eaten plates and didn’t bother to ask if something was wrong. Especially mine. Not even if I wanted a to go box. No care, no concern. Here’s the $200 bill. I left hungry, but more than anything we left feeling played that we paid there high prices for the muck we received. It was my 2nd time here. My first time was disappointing as well but I thought I’d give them another shot 2yrs later. Boon county jail cooks and serves better food than this place.

I tried to give this place a chance. I usually go to El molcajete across the street but they closed early this night. I always order the same thing(shrimp enchiladas with red sauce non-spicy). I paid almost $30 for this take out meal and when I got it, it was so hot I couldn’t even taste the flavor. Normally if it’s a bit hot I will try to eat it anyway but I couldn’t this time. So I called to ask them if they can please make me another plate that was not so hot. I really wanted to give them a chance. They told me the batch they made was accidentally made extra spicy and there was nothing they could do about it. Nothing! No credit for another day, no I’d there something else we can get for you in place of it…nothing. That could be the reason why I never see this place as full as the restaurant across the road. I have always been treated respectfully at El molcajete and I am a loyal customer that gets food from there often. Do yourself a favor…just go next door. Better food and way better service.
