By far, some of the best, most affordable and reasonable seafood in the area. Most certain there are others less expensive, however, the quality of the food coupled with the variety of the seafood on the menu was overwhelming. We were completely taken with the quality of the seafood, from the seasonings and exquisite seafood exotic tastes to the sheer quantity of the servings. Phenomenal staff support, professional, friendly, accommodating in every regard, a smile on all the faces and what appeared to be a genuine pleasure to be working at this location. Did I mention the Margaritas? Reasonable price and of very good quality. The size offered was “”sailor” quantity. Will have to try a few other flavors to provide more information. Parking is not an option - take a taxi, reasonable prices from our hotel, not a long or congested route. I have to again mention how phenomenal the waiters and senior staff were, offering us great seating, right on the beach, plenty of seating available, friendly spacing and not congested. We were mesmerized by the view of the surf and the feeding sea life. Amazing location! We most strongly recommend a visit, well worth the effort and planning. We will be back, God willing! Inshallah! Muchas Gracias!

As good as ever. Have never been disappointed by anything we've had here. Tried their grilled calamari this visit. Probably the best I've ever had. Service was phenomenal again. Margaritas too. Love this place.

Service was great. Food was awesome. Note that people will come by and try to sell you things while you are eating.

The food here was so good, so fresh and seasoned to perfection! My husband and I came here 2 days in a row (while on vacation at a resort) it was that good. I've even come home and remade the spicy green salsa and I salivate every time I think of the food. That paired with being right on the beach, the views and the staff. I would visit each time I'm in PV!

Aside from the people being allowed to come up to your table and try and sell you things this place is amazing. Been here each time we come to PV and the food and staff are great. Had the combo #2 for 1200 pesos you get 2 lobster tails and 4 shrimp that are the size of your hand. It’s enough food to feed 2-3 people for sure and it’s so good.

We traveled to Mexico for a family vacation. We decided to visit some restaurants that were off resort. After speaking with some locals we decided to give it a try. They have indoor seating, as well as outdoor beach seating. There was about 10 of us that went. The menu had a great selection of options for everyone. The serving sizes were larger than expected. The food was prepared well and had an abundance of flavour. The service was top notch with great staff. We found that it was a great value for the amount spent. All in including drinks,food, & gratuity we spent just over 300. I definitely recommend visiting here.

Overall recommendation: will highly come back As an AA couple, service here was amazing. we had the combo with the steak and every flavor was very satisfying. However, prices are a little high compared to the portion of food being served. In addition, we had the margaritas, which was very flavorful and delicious, could have been a little stronger . I recommend getting anything that has the steak and lobsters top favorite. Also, the view was amazing, along with watching humpback whales. Overall, we will definitely come back.
