“ Best sea food very delicious I got my car washed while I enjoying my food ”
“ We love going to this seafood restaurant near downtown Juárez. We had the plate "Carnaval de mariscos" which has a fried shrimp, fried fish, and a seafood salad. It has yellow rice, and a green salad, and a homemade tartar sauce to go with it. The Campechana shrimp cocktail was delicious, too. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. This is definitely a spot we will always visit when we are around this area. We spent about $25 (about 425 pesos) for two entrees, one shrimp cocktail, and two bottled sodas. ”
“ Love the way they are always on point when you arrive and while you are there anything you need is at the right time great service. ”
“ Good seafood place in downtown Juarez. My parents have brought me here for over 20 years. ”
“ The food is amazing!!! This restaurant serves mainly sea food but still also has meat choices. It has available drinking specials and a menu for kids. They just remodel the bathroom area and has new decoration around the seating area. It has TVs around so it is a nice place to watch the Sunday soccer games. The good thing is that is located in a shopping area and the bridge to the U.S. is very near. The down side is the lack of parking spaces so get there early. ”
