Buen lugar, la ensalada de mariscos está muy bien servida, bastante gente, el servicio es bueno, hace un poco de calor, pero con el ambiente, la comida y la bebida, se te olvida.

Excelente servicio, y muy rica la comida lo super recomiendo

Me parece un excelente lugar familiar, felicidades por el excito que tienen y no había de esperarse que no fuera así, pues si comida tiene buen sabor y sazón, bien surtido y preparado con ganas y con dedicación. Independiente de que está lleno te atienden en tiempo y forma, si estás en la fila para llevar te atienden rápido, y si es para comer en el sitio también te atienden rápido, recomendable todo. Muy bien

Viaje de leon a veracruz me recomendaron este lugar... Comida rica, al personal le falta poner un poquito de atención al cliente y de ambiente les falta una musiquita un grupo que ahí ande amenaizando. En general bien y rico. PD. Pídan una michelada

Todo muy rico , desde Mérida Yucatán solo para probar

Lugar digno para comer mariscos, atención de excelencia. Vale la pena la visita. Al alcance de todos. 10 de 10
