★★★★☆ 4.0 Ethan Shoe · Jul 2025

I want to start off by saying I only tried the dips. So, I'm sure their actual food is better than what I got, but this was still my experience. I shared chips and salsa, cheese dip, and guacamole, and the only one that was good was the guac. The cheese dip was okay, but still had a weird taste. The salsa was just bad unfortunately. Service was great at the bar, and the vibe was good otherwise, just get something other than the dips I guess.

Okay, this place is never consistent! The only time I liked my food was the first time I ordered it. The second time I ordered a burrito online I got a rice and bean burrito, once I opened I saw it was only rice and beans…. I went back in to complain and the cashier tried to tell me I was wrong until I showed her my online order. I gave them another chance recently and got another rice and bean burrito! The burrito was all rice!!!!! Probably 2 pieces of beans in there. if I wanted just a rice burrito that’s what I would order but I didn’t. They just have 0 consistency, they either nail your order or they completely mess it up. Online ordering should have way more options than it does. Very basic burritos, not much to it, if you order a steak burrito sometimes it comes with enough and othe

My husband and I stopped for a quick bite and the service, especially bar tender, Abso, was incredible attentive, nice and makes great margaritas and fresh lemonade! We had the El Fish and Pollo Asado tacos, WOW they were so yummy and fresh!! Will definitely be back!

The tacos were delicious and the service was extremely friendly! They are also dog friendly which was amazing. I highly recommend checking out this spot before catching the ferry!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ty Orth · Aug 2025

Food was decent, if not notable. Pleasant area and surroundings for an outdoor restaurant and bar. Service was average, something along the lines of friendly without smiles. I took one star off for the way their credit card check out process pushes higher tip percentages. I like to tip, and I like to tip well. However, a counter-serve where you stand in line to order and come back to get your own food when it’s done loses a star for providing a minimum tip percentage option of 18% at checkout. That should be minimum for a full-service gig. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I would rather go somewhere that appreciates those kind of tips rather than expects it as their due. Fair food, fair price for the area, but they lose me on the service front for that.
