Great Happy Hour. There's a parking lot, but only 10 spots are reserved for the restaurant. Parking on Thursday night is a bit tricky as Palm Canyon Drive is closed for VillageFest. Fish & Chips were excellent. World-famous fish tacos were ok; fish was overcooked...Read More

Has a great dinner and live blues band. Their shrimp dishes are very good. Shared a 1/2 lb bucket and choose the coconut shrimp entree. Both were good. And the Cadillac Margarita was awesome! Small restaurant, nice crowd and good food at reasonable prices!

The food is amazing, the oyster shooters are what you have to start off with. New picture added was when I had to stop and get some oysters on my way back from Arizona. Quick pit stop. Update 11-30-2024 stopped again coming back from AZ

Fun spot for baja style tacos. Live music in an eclectic courtyard. The Ahi tacos were most memorable. Wished the oysters were juicier and brinier.

A wonderful cantina-style bar and grill with food that punches far above its weight. Fish and chips special is among the best, and the signature fish tacos did not disappoint!

Dined at the inside bar on a Sunday night, even though there was live music on the outside stage, as it was a bit chilly out. The manager was our bartender and server and he steered us in the right direction! We had the jalapeño bacon...Read More

Amazing. Best time to go is evening. The live music is the perfect cap on the food and drinks and scenery. I absolutely love this place, it's my new favorite.
