Visitor Testimonials (227)

Los platillos están sabrosos. Los camarones al coco están muy ricos , pero para el precio son pocos. Pueden llevar su propia cerveza. Servicio lento. Es un lugar abierto, por lo que hay moscas. Recomiendo los postres. En general sí lo recomiendo.

Es un buen lugar para comer mariscos, puedes llevar tus bebidas alcohólicas si lo deseas, solo que es poco personal y la cantidad de comensales es mucha.

Un lugar muy limpio, fresco, agradable, ambiente familiar y económico y lo mejor es que puedes llevar tus cervezas vino whisky o lo que gustes tomar y no hay cobro por descorche, 100% recomendable

Otro rollo, lugar sin clima, muuuuy ventilado de manera natural, sazón casero pero muy sabroso. Te recomiendo las jaibas enlodadas, las empanadas y por supuesto el Pescadito Frito... lo mejor. Y que decir de la atención personalizada de Arturito, buenísima. Ambiente familiar, puedes llevar tus bebidas. Pago en efectivo o por transferencia.
