La Tradicion Mariscos & Mexican Restaurant

Disappointing Experience - Overcharged Initially, I thought this place was nice, fun, and had a TJ/Mexico vibe. There were six of us, and we mostly ordered tacos, fajitas, and seafood tostada. The sauce/salsa was good, flavorful, and spicy, just the way we like it. The karaoke spot was lively, with locals singing their hearts out. It was extremely loud, and we could barely hear each other, which was expected.

However, my main gripe is about the overcharged bill. It felt like they took advantage of us because we were tourists and didn't speak Spanish. When it was time for the bill, something told me to check the receipt. It was odd to see a bill of $222 when we mostly ordered tacos and only had two Margaritas. I know they charge 18% gratuity (for parties of 5+) but we had at least 12 taco

La Tradicion , is a family local owned spot , I found to be both delicious 🤤😋 and traditional Mexican food from the start u get a small soup , and chips , 😋 the soup is delicious, definitely try it , u mite love it like I did , I tried the (shrimp cocktail,) the (tostada de camaron )& the (guacamole and chips ) and the (nachos grandes )the shrimp cocktail was so good lots of shrimp not spicy , and lots of vegetables also, the tostada was fresh , delightful and so good flavor was on point , the guacamole was great, fresh smooth and chunky also , the nachos were delicious 😋 they had beans steak sour cream jalapeno slices , tomato,and lots of cheese, if u need something light on the go , or something different, I'm sure it's here , can't wait to return,and the staff is helpful and so nice .

This indeed a hole in the wall.... The atmosphere is great the service is golden. Love how kind they are plus it was my wife's first time and she was happy and content which made me happy. I will return and yes the food is totally worth it and price is perfect.

Food is good but the music playing is wayyyyy to loud, feels like I’m in a night club. Couldn’t hear my gf we had to yell at each other lol I just wanted to have a nice dinner

Here’s a fare review. Awesome food!!! Food was great. But here’s the kicker… (1) be PREPARED to pay between $3-$5 for bottled water…depending on which waiter you speak to. The whole time we were getting refills, we were being charged. It would have been great to have being charged for what is usually complimentary communicated to us. (2) Music is blaring. Trying to hold a conversation through that was terrible. (3) We were also charged for chips and salsa that they voluntarily brought out to us! (4) When it came time to pay, we were overcharged a little over $60 for gratuity between 6 people. For a total of 8 tacos ($3-$5 each), a fajita plate , aguachiles, Jamaica drink, and 2 margaritas…the math wasn’t mathing. Ooooooo and good luck trying to get an understanding why you were charged
