"The family-run restaurant is worth the trek north for its tuna specialties. The name is a word play on “fortunas,” meaning “fortune.” Each family member has a favorite tuna type, like smoked tuna, ahi tuna, and bluefin tuna, which feature in their tacos, tostadas, and burritos. Pair with a margarita or scratch-made Jamaica agua fresca spiced with cinnamon." - Helen I. Hwang

Excellent, low key place to chill, and grind! Pet friendly, happy staff and excellent food! Pets are allowed in the outside dining area. I highly recommend the smoked tuna tacos 🌮! They are flavorful, and don't fall apart on you... The smoked tuna has a crunchy exterior, with a smokey, tasty, soft interior! It's interesting, and yummy! If you go on a Tuesday, look forward to the discounted pricing! The regular pricing is affordable by itself. Dinner for two, including drinks, was only a little over $50. During the Tuesday lunch specials, it was only a little over $20 for two!

This is my first time coming here the food is absolutely amazing. The food was bomb especially the guacamole. The guacamole was so fresh and amazing the best I've ever had so far. I had three tacos, one garlic shrimp, the next one I had was lobster and the last one was mahi mahi. My favorite one is the garlic shrimp then the lobster. My sis had the oysters very good she said. Everything was amazing customer service fantastic, definitely will be coming again!

Absolutely amazing!! Five star experience all around and has become my new favorite restaurant! Their food is fantastic and very tasty. Reasonably priced. Atmosphere was very inviting. They treat you like family. We were served very quickly and all staff were super attentive. Their mahi mahi and fourtunas burritos are a huge hit and their hot sauces were very unique. The pomegranate mojitos and fried ice cream were also a great addition to our meal. Recommend to anyone looking for a great experience and a delicious meal! So happy and I will definitely be a returning customer. 🤩

Drinks were beautiful and tasty but seemed little pricey for amount. . My grilled fish taco was a bit tough but the others were good. Veggie burrito was yummy. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus! I think they could do a little updating of finishes. The windows seemed dirty and run down. Service was fast and friendly and I always appreciate patio seating.

I've been coming here since they opened a couple of years ago. I especially love bringing my father here since he really enjoys seafood. Whenever we are in the area or passing through Escondido, I make sure to make a stop here. They have a wide array of delicious seafood options. This last time I tried the lobster+smoked tuna burrito and it was basically the best burrito I've ever had. My usual go to option is the smoked tuna fries but I'm glad I tried something different this time. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and the food is made as you order. If you like seafood and Mexican food, this is the place to go!

Love this place for the Torre (tower of ceviche). It has approximately portion for 3 people. It has shrimp, octopus and fish. I have also gotten the fish plates here, tacos and the 7 mares soup and seafood broth. Their seafood soups are outstanding.

Great seafood, grilled octopus was amazingly soft and delicious, without cheese on top would be better for next time. Mojito was not very good, next time I would not order Very casual dining, you can sit outside! Hole in the wall find, a must visit at least once in Escondido. Araceli was our server she made us feel at home. Thanks

I really enjoy this place. I ordered a spicy mango ceviche tostada(not the exact name)but that's what it was. 😋 delicious spicy, a little heavy on the sauce. But it delivered on the heat and flavor. We sat outside it was fresh and, our waitress was on point. No complaints, except we specifically said no pico de Gallo on my since fish taco and they still threw it on. We had to send it back. Other then that pur party of 5 was a satisfied bunch.

Great food. Best Mex Fish in Escondido!Pescado Fresca! The sides are good but the Verde Salsa is amazong. Very Hot. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Service and ambiance are terrific but there is a busy 4 lane road outside.

+5 Stars for the Fish and Lobster Tacos, 0 Stars for the Steak Taco (admittedly my fault for ordering beef at a fish place), but -2 Stars for the LACK OF AIR CONDITIONING in the dead center of Summer (you can even see a giant industrial AC unit on the roof, but only slow spinning fans on the inside with all the doors WIDE OPEN. If you're coming here from late September-April, it's a 5 Star Fish Place... if you're coming here when it's hot? Best of luck to you... Great hot food... needs Air Conditioning to really enjoy it though...

Waiter was very friendly and attentive. We got a free refilled on the Orchata drink. When you come in you get free tostadas with sauce. We order Fish, Shrimp, Lobster and Spicy Octopus Tacos. The fish tacos were the best ones from all the tacos. The shrimp and lobster tacos were bland no flavor. The spicy octopus was overwhelming with spicy sauce. The Mojito was pretty watery and I did not taste any alcohol in it. Not worth the $12 I paid for it. Overall the service is great but food and drinks were not the best.

We have heard great things about this place, and overall we had a great experience. I was recommended the mango margarita, i don't like my drinks too sweet and both (yes I ordered 2) came out to perfection! Probably best mango margarita I've ever had. Service was great! Chips and salsa to start were yummy. Salsa was spicy and good! The ceviche tostada was soooo yummy. I could eat like 5 of those lol. Portion wise, the Mahi Mahi entree I got was big and allowed me to share with my little one. I had to order another side of rice because the "bed" that they say the fish comes on was not enough. I was also surprised with how small the portion of beans was. Cute container though. Take note: my daughter has a wheat allergy (i didn't say anything because i didn't think there would be a contamination because everything we ordered had 0 wheat) but she definitely broke out in hives after eating something off my plate. I think it was in the beans but I didn't ask... she only had a little so it wasn't a very big deal, thankfully no epipen needed, but luckily I didn't give her much. Food was delicious! Will be back forsure with lessons learned about the allergy ordeal.

Not wildly impressed by this place. The food was decent. However, the server did not smile at us for the first half of our visit. She seemed absolutely miserable. The steak tacos were kind of pathetic for being the only non-seafood dish. The burrito was good, but we definitely won't be rushing back.

Great seafood and a lot to choose from! Food: 4/5. I enjoyed the seafood options and it was honestly so hard to choose what to order. To drink, I started with the cucumber jalepeno margarita. There was way too much ice and not much flavor. A pass for me, especially for the price. I then switched to horchata and it was the best horchata I've ever had! Perfectly sweet and refreshing. For dinner, I had the four tuna burrito. It was pretty good, but I thought the beans stole the show. Absolutely amazing beans! My husband got the "Torre" sky scrapper tostada. That was very fresh and perfect for summer! We also shared some fish and shrimp tacos that were delicious. Atmosphere: 4/5. At first we were a little lost and wasn't sure we were at the right place. Once we found it and got inside it was a fun atmosphere. We sat inside due to the heat, but the patio looked like a good spot as well. Service: 4/5. Our waitress was really nice and helpful when ordering. There were a couple of times the wait seemed a little longer than expected, especially getting my husband's food. Kid friendly: 4/5. We took our two little ones and it was great! They had high chairs and a couple kids menu items.

A rare find! Reasonable prices- the most delicious beans, huge menu and fabulous service! Tried the taco dorado, lobster taco and fish taco. All were tasty- a light batter on the fish, lots of cotija cheese on the dorado and lobster with a flavorful sauce. Pineapple jalapeno margarita was super good and beer selection on point. Chips and salsa fresh and perfect. A little hard to find in the shopping center but the patio helps to locate it. Restaurant gets very warm inside just FYI

I had mixed feelings about the food. The burrito lobster was good but the burrito was kind of empty on the sides. It didn't have much lobster in it and my daughter had asked for a seafood salad and the two orders were $52. The service was great as it was fast and seamless and the lady was nice and suggested what was good. The ambiance was okay.

Tried this on a recommendation from a friend. Great recommendation! We went on a Tuesday evening toward the end of the night so they were trying to serve us and the few remaining customers while getting ready to close. Service could have been considered a little slow, but it is all made fresh, and it was late so props for great food while managing everything else. We had fish taco, Gobernador (chopped shrimp/cheese), and a ceviche tostada. All of it was great and I found my new favorite fish taco! Yay me!! We succumbed to the temptation of the Chocoflan and are we glad we did!! Best Chacoflan ever. E. V. E. R. I am determined to try the entire menu but there's a problem . . . I doubt I'll ever go again without ordering a fish taco and Chocofla, so that doesn't leave room for a lot of experimentation each trip. Guess that means many many trips. Everyone seemed to genuinely be enjoying their food and food were asking others what they ordered. It was a great time. They have a nice outdoor area though we opted for eating inside. The only thing that was distracting is the fans directly under the lights making a strobe effect inside. We sat in the corner that had the least strobe effect and next time we'll probably opt for eating outside. All in all I highly recommend this place with helpful/friendly servers and great food at very reasonable prices!

A coworker of my husband recommended Four Tunas. Escondido sure has good Mexican food! If you're looking for more of a restaurant and not like street tacos, this place is good. Plenty of outside seating. Inside as well. We got various things to try. The 3 sampler Aguachile, Campechana, ahi tuna tostada, fish tacos, shrimp tacos and octopus tacos. The traditional aguachile was good, the other 2 variety were meh. Not enough tartness for me. The ahi tuna tostada had this jalapeño sauce on it, it was delicious. Gave it a spice kick. I enjoyed my octopus taco. Lots of pieces of octopus and it wasn't overly chewy. They also serve cheladas and margaritas. It was quite expensive for Mexican food though. Prices are Old Town San Diego prices. I still love my street tacos at TJ tacos! But if looking for a more fancy, this hits the spot. Service was meh. The lady was really busy. And took awhile for ordering and getting bill or attention. There was like a 10 year old kid working, probably owners son? He was good! Should have given him the tip.

I am hooked ! Seafood is my favorite food and let me tell you this place is quality seafood and its not overpriced in my opinion. First of all my respect to the cooks bcus they play a major role and congrats to the owners for amazing recipe's... from their tasty salsas down to the unique style of how they make everything. Im a picky eater and if i could eat here everyday i would. There isn't anything ive tried i havnt liked. The fish/shrimp is fresh. I always get four tuna ahi so flavorful and fresh. Ive tried all of their tacos my favo is marlin, grilled fish and four tuna crunchy taco. I eat here literally every week ! Not to mention the staff is super friendly great ambiance they have outdoor seating and food is fast.

One of my new favorite spots!!! Service is always friendly, it's very chic and modern, and the food. Oh my, the food! The chips and the salsa is incredible. I always opt for the shrimp zarandeados - it is heavenly. Seriously. Also tried the fried ice cream which was quite unique and tasty! Cant wait to come back again

Love this place! Just come! You won't be disappointed. I know I'll be back ;) Food: - Got both the zarandeados shrimp and zarandeados sea bass. My first bite of both of these dishes were unreal. Seasoned beautifully. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend either of these. If I had to pick which one I liked more, the sea bass has the edge by a small margin. Creamy and rich flavor profiles for both. - Got the aguachili sampler with the tamarind, mango habanero, and verde. If you do not like raw shrimp, maybe skip this one. The shrimp are medium in size, so it takes a while for the citrus to cook it. I don't mind it that raw, but only when it is cut up in smaller chunks. The shrimps are whole in this case. The order I liked them in are verde, mango habanero and then tamarind. The tamarind one might be too sweet. I do wish the verde one was more spicy. It needed an extra kick. Spice level is custom, so maybe next time, I'll ask for more spice. Drinks: - Skinny margarita was just ok. - Guava michelada was excellent. Would definitely have it again. Note: The syrups are homemade! Service: Excellent! Our waitress was super patient and friendly with us. We struggled to decide because the menu is so vast, but our waitress was patient and was really helpful the entire way through. Ambiance: Great! Lots of seating, both indoor and out. It's a great seafood bar environment.

What a gem in Escondido! You're greeted immediately with a smile and told to sit wherever you'd like. Every time I've been here (quite a bit) the staff has been down to earth, genuinely friendly, and attentive. So 10/10 for service. The restaurant is big enough to host larger parties and will make a reservation for your group last minute (I know from experience). The atmosphere is what I'd call Baja coastal. Lots of blues and whites and a lovely overall theme. The restaurant & it's bathrooms (gender neutral) are clean as well. The drinks: I got the chelada with corona & my friend got the pomegranate and lime margarita. The $10 chelada is served with the beer of your choice and was pretty good. The pomegranate margarita was a tad too sweet for my friend and I but the lime one was perfect. I want to mention we got our drinks immediately after ordering and the bartender was lovely. 8/10 The food: I always get the a la diabla tostada ($15). It's a mountain of spicy marinated shrimp, tender octopus, scallops, cucumbers, avocado, and onions on a tostada with a cream sauce. It's full of fresh seafood and the cream sauce perfectly balances the heat of the dish. 10/10 take my money, this is what I'm always getting here. The tacos: We got a mahi mahi, salmon, garlic shrimp, and gobernador taco. The portions of fish you get for 6$ is amazing. They are pretty good, nothing incredibly special but for $6, they're a steal. I want to mention I've come here before on keto and they made me cheese taco shells and I will forever love them for that. 7/10 The consomé & chips and salsa are free offerings that are also very good. Make sure to ask for the consomé as it's not typically offered. It's the broth of the 7 mares soup which is delicious with the perfect amount of heat. 10/10 Overall, I love this place. Come here all the time, recommend it to my friends in north county looking for tasty seafood.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time. Finally made it! I'm so glad. The food is great and the service is very friendly. I was a little surprised that several of the tacos did not include shredded cabbage. We were served a basket of chips with a delicious fresh salsa. There were so many delicious things on the menu that it was hard to decide what to order. I decided on the fish and shrimp ceviche tostada. It was supposed to be served with a creamy house sauce. I didn't see that on mine. It was still fresh and delicious! They said the fish was sea bass. The fish and shrimp were so tender. The other ingredients were so fresh. It had just the right amount of spice. My friend ordered a grilled fish taco and a side of beans. Her fish was also sea bass. She also enjoyed her food. She had a sangria with a Tajin rim. We were told that they specialize in making their own syrups for the drinks. The sangria was delicious, although a bit on the pricey side. I really enjoyed my lunch and can't wait to try more of the menu items.

We have been at Four Tunas at least 6 times and I just haven't have the time to leave a review. Service, 5 stars, ambiance is casual, good for families and has outdoor seating. Now the food...really, really good. Great flavor! From the tacos, the cocktails to the tostadas, everything we've tried it's good. My two favorites are the four tunas dorado taco and the four tunas tostada. Highly recommended. The staff is very friendly also.

The Zarandeado shrimp are delicious!! Everything is good. Downside is they charge extra for chips and salsa.

The best fish taco that I've ever had and the best beans and salsa EVER. Laura was my server and I should have gone for the Lobster taco, even the chips were fantastic

Carmen V.

Yelp
Outstanding, fantastic service. My date and I like to try different tacos at different places and since we were super close and super hungry after a show, loved the idea of getting something nearby at a pretty place. I loved the name Four Tune (kind of play on words with Fortune and 4 in the family of the owner). I have to say I also checked the pictures here on Yelp for the pretty factor and loved the tables that look like the tiles you will find in Barcelona's sidewalks. We arrived late, so they were about to close but the stopped everything to make sure we had an awesome experience. Gave us some complementary caldo (they use for the Seven Seas soup or caldo de siete mares and other seafood based soups). Delicious. We also got a complementary shrimp appetizer that was to die for. Seriously, that salsa hit the spot. I ordered a regular fish tacos and the octopus taco. This one was not the usual I was expecting but the flavor and amount of octopus was truly incredible. My guy ordered a mixed seafood taco with a very unique an delicious salsa, so good we had never tried something like that before. Then he had another one that was not at mind-blowing but also very good (forgot what was that other taco about). We shared a giant beer and left home super happy and full. Their menu is so huge with so much variety that got us excited to go back soon at different times and also with more time to enjoy the pleasant patio.

My surf and turf burrito had too much rice with little protein and for the price paid. My wife ordered two tacos one order was incorrect. Her fish taco was over fried. Served water without ice. Felt $5 dollars for soda was way too high. Ambiance was very loud and service was slow. Waitress was suppose give us more salsas but forgot. Chalk one up for our Saturday night adventure!

Everything was so good. 2 thumbs up. A bit pricey but then again we did order a few things. I totally recommend.

The place was busy when we got here so it took a while to get seated and the bill. Other than that the food was super tasty & really good, just pricier than your normal tacos or mariscos place. Its indoor and outdoor modern look and great for family and friend groups. Our waitress was friendly it was just probably way more customers then servers today.

This place is wonderful! Wish there were a few more locations spread around San Diego. From the fresh chips and salsa, to the drinks and food.... 10/10! April was our lovely server. Her and her team handled our group on the patio. Music and vibe are great. Amidst the homeless camping out on the grass nearby, that's out of their control. Maybe add additional fencing and climbing vines to keep the aesthetic going? A water feature for the future? Love that you can bring your dogs on the patio. Looking forward to going back.

Ordered 4 different tacos and the ginormous ceviche tower! So wonderful and filling. Service from our youthful female waitress was perfect as she was super helpful, friendly and fun!! Will be going back soon as it's a phenomenal value considering the excellent quality of seafood.

Not sure what happened to this once thought little gem. Last visit disappointed me due to average service. Picture arriving with maybe one table occupied. No one to greet us. We took a table where our male server seemed reluctant to wait on us. Food came timely. The stuffed shrimp were good. The fish tacos were not as before, soft not crispy as in the past. Food delivered without forks etc. server never checked back to see if we were ok. He was too busy enjoying conversations with the other staff at the counter. Too bad this place has lost its charm. Adios and no mas

Plentiful parking, clean, comfortable, chill restaurant. The menu is huge and my wife and I didn't get to try as much as I wanted, so we need to re-visit. The nice waitress that served us was a touch pushy on appetizers at first, but when I complimented the huge menu, she backed-off. Overall, a 3.5 star for now, for food, service & ambiance. But I think with more wisdom on ordering, the grade can easily get to 4 stars. Nachos & salsa (B+): nachos were thin & super crispy, and salsa tasted very fresh, although a bit spicy for my taste buds. Enjoyed them thoroughly and finished the basket. Tomato soup base (B): complimentary soup that they use as a base for much of their seafood dishes. Savory, tangy, spicy, it's all there. A little sweetness would be nice, but I guess that would be added if we ordered something using that soup base whether it be from veggies or other ingredients. Octopus taco (B+): good, flavorful corn tortilla - I define this by having a nice, fresh aroma of corn as you chew. Some are simply tasteless but this one was yummy. The octopus was very nice, savory, with sweetness from the octopus itself. I wish there was more octopus, or served in it's original tentacles instead of all chopped up for more texture. This was my favorite dish. Shrimp taco (B): big, fresh, crispy shrimp, cooked very nicely with good, bouncy texture. The veggies went very well with shrimp. For improvement, I wish they either fry the shrimp tails more so they become more crispy, or remove them. And the shrimp was a touch under seasoned. Nevertheless, a good taco with shrimp that was better than many restaurants I've visited. Zarandeado sea bass (C+): having grown up on Cantonese cuisine style seafood, being able to taste the original protein's flavor is a must, especially for fish. Hence, my favorite way to eat fish is steamed, "swimming" (i.e. moments before cooking) whole fish, garnished with oil & soy plus a few scallions. In this case, although the fish seasoning had a pretty nice savory & cheesy taste, with such a thin filet cooked in a tin foil wrap, the fish became a soft mush with no original "seafood sweetness". In conclusion, a good experience and worth heading back to try other items.

I was excited to try this place based on the good reviews. The food fell short of expectations. Neither the fish and steak tacos or the burrito we ordered had much flavor without adding their hot sauces, which we had to request. The water tasted dirty. The wrapped silverware was dirty. Service was slow even though it wasn't busy. The meat in the surf and turf burrito and tacos was inedible. Two people in my party ordered the spicy mixed seafood tacos and said they were really good. The shrimp appetizer did have good flavor.

Just a heads up, this "was" by far my favorite go to for fried fish tacos. We went yesterday for the 100th time and were a bit concerned/disappointed. My sister and I actually thought they may have sold the business to someone else who didn't appreciate what the 1st owners created. Let me start by saying that the fried fish tacos and fourtunas dorado are my favorite for a quick bite to eat. When we splurge, well the Torre and Zarandeados are the best. Now for the negative, we went Friday for a quick lunch and found the the portions were way smaller. The fried fish taco had half the fish it normally does. The fourtunas dorado was literally half the size as well. The margaritas have always been hit or miss depending who makes it but the lime margaritas tasted watered down and def not worth $12 or $13 they now charge. Used to be $10 which I thought was a little pricey but it's part of the experience. Apparently, they opened a new one in Oceanside (used to be MiraMar, which was pretty good) so the focus may be off the Escondido location. Will try it one more time and hopefully it's better.

I've had this gem on my list for a while now, I just don't get to this neighborhood too often. Parking was pretty easy, and we found a nice picnic table outside on the covered patio. The enclosure provided just enough separation from all but the most obnoxious vehicles on Washington Ave. At first, it seems like everything is a bit pricey, but to fully appreciate this place, you need to remove any "taco shop" mentality from your mind. "Seafood restaurant" is a better way to view this place. As such, $15.75 for a delicious Four Tunas Burrito or $14.95 for the A La Diabla seafood tostada seems right in line. Seafood is never cheap. I will say that $7.50 for local craft beer is priced right and...refreshing. It's sad that so many places have to charge for chips and salsa now, but too many years of too many entitled piggies demanding multiple refills got us where we are today. The "first round on us" policy here is an excellent compromise, especially considering the quality of the chips and the spicy, chunky salsa. Much better than wet salsa dripping on your menu! The chef-driven menu is HUGE. I counted twenty different tacos. I wanted to try Grilled Fish and Smoked Tuna, but lucky me, those were the two items in the Four Tunas Burrito, so I pivoted to a burrito instead. "Bacon Of The Sea" is an apt description of the smoked tuna- so good. Daughter's Diabla Tostada was generous and good, but I think there were no scallops and they compensated with more of the rest. I especially liked the octopus...so tender. Better than when I've had it baked in sushi, which can get chewy. They've got octopus in many other forms as well. Service was OK. Already looking forward to my next trips: fish nuggets, oysters, tacos, fries...so much to try!

Delicious fish tacos, yummy chips and fresh salsa. I've been back regularly ever since. And right down the hill from me.

I've reviewed this place already once but I have to post one more amazing review for the outstanding job they do with seafood. The Fortunas Filet is an elegant dish with spinach, cheese sauce and chunks of shrimp on top of a perfectly cooked fish filet. The beans are top notch and the rice was perfectly seasoned.

Legit tacos! If you're in Escondido, definitely give this place a try! Tons of different options on the menu for various fish tacos and burritos. They also have dinner plates. I ordered a spicy octopus taco and a fish taco. Both good sizes and well priced for what you get. All of the staff were very nice and helped with recommendations. They have indoor and outdoor seating depending on your preference.

It's unfortunate that I need to leave this review as it was our favorite place to eat. We've been regulars since this place opened up and haven't had any issues until the other week. My wife ordered a salmon burrito and upon the server dropping it off, we noticed it was raw. We notified the server and she asked us if we wanted them to either make a new one or chop up the salmon and cook it longer. We asked the server to make us a new burrito which she obliged. So it was to our dismay, when we saw the same burrito come back to us with not only the salmon chopped up and cooked but everything in it. We asked the server what happened and we're told " I don't know what they do back there." I'm not sure if there is a disconnect between the cooks and servers or they simply don't care but it was shocking to hear. When it came time to pay the bill, instead of waiving the entire cost of the burrito, they only take 50% off. As I go into the restaurant to get a clear explanation, I'm told that the burrito was half eaten when in actuality it was a few small bites after it was served the second time. Either way it doesn't matter, we'll be going elsewhere from now on. You decided to lose a valued customer over something so small.

Food was great. Everything. Service was very good too. Food was very slow to come out. Maybe they had to catch the fish too. Very lively atmosphere.

Four Tunas has been our list for awhile and has gained reasonable popularity over the last year or so. We picked a fish taco, grilled fish taco, smoked tuna taco and an avocado taco. The avocado lacked flavor creativity but the others were full of flavor and outpace chain store fish tacos and a few other local joints. Service was good (they are currently hiring wait staff) and the margaritas (pomegranate and lime) were perfect for a Friday lunch. Extensive menu here with much more we plan to try. Taco prices were $3.95-$5 and a great value. We will be back for sure. Salsa are house made and delicious. Four Tunas really is the best on the block on this corner of Broadway and Washington. Check it out. @fourtunasfish

Weekday quick dinner. We had a Mahi Burrito and a Garlic Shrimp Burrito. $16 for a burrito! My husband liked his Mahi burrito. My Garlic Shrimp was very salty and it didn't have no other flavors (except garlic!). The food was not skimpy on shrimp or fish but $16 felt a bit steep for a burrito in the ambience. I will try something else next time. Maybe tacos...

Ate here yesterday early evening. Server was nice. I ordered the grilled octopus appetizer and the butterfly shrimp entree. The appetizer never arrived and the shrimp entree was excellent. There were about a dozen very flavorful butterfly grilled shrimp. They only had refried beans so I asked the server if she can hold the beans and give more veggies. The veggie portion was very small even without the beans. Anyhow, my buddy ordered a burrito and we both enjoyed the food and the chips and salsa.

A lovely restaurant with great service! We loved the chips and salsa that come free and the guava michelada was delicious. While a bit pricey, the seafood tacos were nice. The fry on the fish was great. The Aguachiles were good but not great - they needed more acid and perhaps some salt (or saltines). I think the fries needed to be thicker to carry the smoked tuna, which was surprisingly mild in flavor. Overall, I would return to try more of the menu and drinks!

This place is awesome! The ambience is nice, the food is delicious (not heavy at all!), and the service was great. It's a family business and you just feel like party of the family when you're there. We'll be back!!!!
