“ Delicious food and desserts! I ordered Aguachiles for my appetizer, and they were delicious. The shrimp was actually cooked with the lime juice, so the shrimp held all the flavor from the lemon and jalapeño. I would have not changed a thing, because it was perfect and tasted amazing. For my entree I ordered Pollo en Mole, which came with a chicken breast covered with mole negro. It also came with rice and beans. This plate comes in a very large portion, so you can definitely share this one. The mole had a good flavor and the chicken was juicy. To drink I had an agua fresca de Jamaica. It was not authentic Jamaica, but it was okay. For dessert, I had Fried Ice Cream, and it was to die for! The shell was so good. It was very crispy and had lots of flavor. The vanilla ice cream was perfectly sweet and creamy. Eating the two together was a beautiful way to end this delicious meal. I recommend trying their mariscos and fried ice cream! ”
“ Checked it out because of all the great reviews. Most outstanding breakfast we've had in a while. Check out pic of omelette! Even with breakfast you get chips and salsa and also these outstanding little bowl of "pickled" carrots. Kinda sweet pickled with just a bit of onion and jalapeno flavor. Fantastic! We don't get down to Otay Mesa very often but we will definitely come back to Vallarta and try lunch or Dinner. ”

“ Great food! Amazing staff! The camarones a la diabla are the best! Less than 2 miles from the cross boarder Xpress and less than 5 minutes from the boarder crossing place. We had the food to go because we were tired of traveling all day. ”
“ OK, I don’t normally get five stars but this place is a must let me post my conversation with my wife and that explains it all I order the same dish at every Mexican restaurant and this is hands down the best I’ve ever had ”

“ Just a short walk from our place. Jesus was so kind and helpful when we walked in. We were immediately seated and greeted! The food is absolutely incredible. We shared the Plato mexicano and it was so delicious. The flavors were all so great. We also enjoyed a cappuccino and smoothie that were freshly made and served. Wonderful experience. We will definitely be returning here during our trip. ”
