Nice cozy little restaurant. The food was a lot better than I thought. I enjoyed the chips & salsa (both red & green) as well a small dish of beans sprinkled with shredded cheese. Besides the usual beverages they make their juices, cucumber was excellent!...Read More

Probably the best ceviche in the area. However I will say that they have the best shrimp enchiladas I've ever had! Their chips and salsa is also really good, and they have Mon-Fri specials.
