Amazing place for seafood and live music. The service is excellent. The one thing it was confusing to figure it out was the menu. So we ordered a dish that I wanted to try not necessarily because we found it in the menu. The place has big TV's displaying their social media videos featuring their dishes which they look amazing; so watch those videos and know what you want to order before going there. I will definitely go back and try again another dish. I do recommend this place for seafood and live music.

Julissa's Service was outstanding. Coming on a weekend when it's busy, and still get amazing service is not something you expect these days but . Julissa was very attentive, friendly and very quick. Even with the amount of tables she was waiting on. I appreciate her so much . Definitely will recommend to friends and family and telling them to ask for Julissa!

I was encouraged by coworkers to try this place and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, phenomenal drinks and excellent service. Evelyn is a great waitress. She was on point with recommendations, service, attentiveness, and a smile. I tip my hat to the bartender for making some of the best cantaritos I have had. We will definitely be coming back and ask for Evelyn as our waitress.

We came from Arkansas with a party of 25 people. This atmosphere is the best I have ever been in. Abril was the best hostess and we did not go without anything!! The food was hot, the drinks were cold. I could not have asked for a better server than Abril. The wait time was long but this is Houston and the restaurant was busy! I recommend Abril anytime she was awesome!! We will come back for her.

She was super kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without rushing us. Her attitude genuinely made the experience better. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and great service.

We have been recommended this seafood place for a while now, but it's about 45 mins away from home. Finally today we decided to make the drive, and it did NOT disappoint. Our server, Maggie, was exceptional. She made recommendations, chatted with us, was very upbeat and personable. We had "El Remedio" appetizer and some other dishes - everything was absolutely delicious! We are definitely coming back.
