The best mariscos in la villita! 👌🏽 Portions are big, we had tostadas de ceviche mixteada (shrimp, octopus, crab, maybe something else) and a filete de pescado empapelado (also lots of seafood mixed in with the fish).
Micheladas are yummy too! Highly highly recommend 👍🏽👍🏽


It is very hard to find a good place to enjoy fresh seafood but this is one of them.
All the food is so fresh you can taste the ocean.
You can’t go wrong with what ever you order.
We had their tostadas (fish and mixed) as well as their pineapple canoe for reference 👌🏼.


This place is a 5 star.
Love the pescado al mojo de ajo, the stuffed shrimp are another favorite! Ostiones Tecolote are a favorite
