Suprised how good the food was in this Restaurant. If you are nearby and visiting the pink lakes and are hungry afterwards we can recommend this one.

The food alone was already great. Fresh shrimps and fish, crunchy nachos, a tasty soup. But what made our stay even better was the service. Our waitress Kathi, was very attentive and professional. In the end we even got a tequila degustacion, that did not find its way on the bill. Thank you again for the nice evening. 10/10 would come again!!!

From the initial welcome until we left the service was fantastic, attentive but never rushed. Feels like a happy kitchen resulting in the best food so far in Mexico, with great taste, professional presentation and generous portions. The cost is no more than the more rustic neighbouring family run cafe/bars.

We enjoyed lunch in this restaurant, had a nice fish and grilled octopus. They brought us a complimentary small basket with chips and 3 home made salsas. Everything was very tasty, the waiter Alexis was serving us with a nice smile and care. If we have the chance, we will surely come back.

Provides a beautiful ambience with a wide variety of menu items at a stellar price. Jose was our waiter tonight and is awesome, he was attending to multiple tables and was fantastic. My husband and I ordered the steak tacos, coconut shrimp, and two cocktails for 635 MXN. The coconut shrimp were the biggest I have ever seen, and they give you an entire plate full. Reasonable items for kids as well (pizza, burgers). The pictures of the menu are outdated, but do no fear. Their menu includes pastas, ceviche, beef, and of course - fish, shrimp, and lobster. Would definitely go back.

Great place with fresh seafood, friendly staff. By far the best restaurant in town. We have tried Prawn and octopus Ceviche, grilled Octopus and all were delicious. The only area of improvement could be the drinks, mojito was not let good, very watery. Mezcal was great and nicely presented.
