The fried fish we ordered, Capitán, was absolutely delicious. The fish bites (masitas de pescado) were very good, and the fish broth was rich and flavorful. The service was excellent, with very friendly and attentive staff. A small suggestion: I ordered the fried Capitán with tostones, and while it was delicious, the plate looked a bit empty when it arrived. It would be great if they added a small side salad for a more balanced presentation. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! Highly recommended.

The food was absolutely mouth watering. Seafood Mofongo and fried red snapper were authentically seasoned. This is a must try if in the area. The prices were so reasonable. I will be back.

It is a good view to hangout, to eat is also good, but the place needs some makeover bit more sense is very old. But overall, the food is good. Update, you can see lots of birds up close and it is a show!

Don’t know how many years this restaurant it’s been there. All I can say is that everything still the same as I remember when I was little. Food, service , atmosphere excellent. The view beautiful. Here is my story for this place, I was there with my parents and some family when I was maybe 6yr old next day was an explosion in that place I remember. I went back in 2018 with my parents, brother n husband I loved the place. I definitely go back there again

Great food, great customer service. Even when it is full the food is prepared fast. Fresh seafood. The employees are all very welcoming and friendly. Good prices. It has an open balcony with a great view. Air-conditioned area is also available. Has a bar if you want to have a drink or beer.

Family member brought us here and the food was amazing! The view was great and the portions were huge. Had a margarita and it was amazing. Staff was friendly and the customers made some great recommendations also. I had the crab meat rice and beans with tostones and it was delicious. I tried the steak mofongo and it was the best mofongo i had so far. Had an awesome view as well and loved seeing all the fish! Will definitely come back
