It's the freshest food. Cooks are boring but they do their job right. Parking may be a bit tough but it's worth it.

My favorite marisco spot in TJ was closed so we decided to come here and I was surprised how good this little spot is. The freshness of seafood is incredibly high and the quality is outstanding with just perfect balance in flavours. We arrived there right before closing so they didn’t have many items as they were sold out. I will go back and try every item they have.

This is my MUST visit place for the last 3 years everytime I come down to Tijuana for visa stamping! This place made me always looking forward to my visa stamping trips! The seafood here is amazing and cheap! I don't speak more than 5 words of Spanish, but was able to somehow communicate with the chefs and order octopus, shrimp, oysters. Or sometimes I just point at other ppl's fish and say I want that! Everytime I got to try something. Ew, and nothing seems disappoint me here! My favorite seafood stand/booth, of all! Not one of them, just the only one!!

Friendly people and good food. We had a tostada especial/mixta and one with Camaro but the salsa for the Ccamaron was a bit too salty. But still good place to visit!
