Whole fried fish, just like we get in Mexico but more expensive ($30-40)! (Be sure to order fried without batter). The micheladas are cheap and tasty too!

This is a casual place within 5 min of the airport. It's worth a stop. I had the #1 lunch special, which was fried shrimp, a piece of fresh fish fried, shrimp fried rice, and a simple salad. It was delicious. The fish and shrimp are lightly breaded in cornmeal. There was no question the fish and shrimp were fresh, sweet, and just lovely. The side of shrimp fried rice was simple and good, but my partner had the Special Fried Rice, and it was fantastic. I haven't had fried rice this good in a long time. I also ordered the fish and shrimp soup to go. Tasted it when we returned home, and it was good too. The servings are generous. The prices were surprisingly reasonable. You can tell they cater to the locals. If you are going or coming from the airport, it's worth a trip, even an Uber ride if you have time.

First time here. Food was great ! It’s like a seafood taqueria. Staff was friendly , service was fast. Only reason for the 4 stars was the cleanliness. There was fried rice all over the floor, spilled drink at an empty table. Bathrooms smelled horrible. I might choose a drive they option if available

My fiancé, mom, and I came here for lunch on April 16th. It was by complete mistake, but it was very worth it. The prices here are cheap for the portions. We each got a different lunch special, and they were huge portions of fish. The salmon I ordered wasn't fishy at all. I'm usually very picky about my salmon, and this was delicious. It does smell fishy in the restaurant, but the fish doesn't taste old at all. It was definitely worth the price.
