Wonderful fresh fish dishes. Helpful staff. Save room for dessert! Try the Tres Leche Cake or the Coco Flan. Very casual atmosphere. Very local. If you want a good inexpensive meal with top ingredients, this is the place.

My first visit though my parents have been coming to this little restaurant for years. The food was outstanding food, served fresh and hot, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Do yourself a favor and take a break from the plaza and venture out to this spor

We wished we were staying another night so we could eat there again. My wife and I loved it. Great staff and excellent food. 2 oysters shots, 12 oysters, small ceviche, 2 teas and the appetizer platter, 41 dollars.
All the food was perfect, we were amazed at how good the oysters were. We hope to make it back someday.
Fairly small place that you miss if you are not looking. Do not let the looks fool you.

A friend recommended this place and so we tried it out. The staff and the interior were lovely. We especially liked the painted chairs and booth backs and it feels like a small place you'd find on the beach in Mexico. The salsa and the greenish looking dip were both excellent and the chips were fresh, which was a great start. I had the seafood soup and my wife had the salmon with queso and bacon. My soup smelled a bit fisher than it should have and the amount of seafood in it was dwarfed by the amount of veggies. Octopus is one of the first seafood ingredients listed and I think I found two iddy-bitty pieces at the bottom. The crab legs must have been from the runt of the family and didn't really taste like crab but there were large chunks of imitation crab floating around. My stomach was a bit queasy later that night. My wife's salmon wasn't salmon. It was some sort of dried-out white fish they were passing off as salmon. The potatoes were good as was the rice and the queso topping, but the VERY small piece of fish was disappointing to say the least. For the prices, this wasn't a hidden gem or outstanding. Perhaps we just didn't order the right meals. Perhaps it just isn't all that good.

We were tired of the heavy SW meals and this place hit the spot. There are signs for various years stating this is the #1 place in Santa Fe for seafood and I believe it. It is a smallish unassuming place, but don't let that turn you off. I had the ceviche, which is not available in many restaurants and it was great. Good service and very reasonable prices.
