Best little Mexican seafood restaurant in Tucson the lady that served me was very nice food was great! Prices are pretty reasonable and the place was of vintage design I like that
Bestest Mexican food ever! THE FOOD WAS SOO GOOD. The fajitas where great, came with a homemade tortilla. The chips and salsa was good. And the service, also great. We even loved dessert. Dinner for two with dessert was under 40 bucks.
I love this place. The food is always delicious and the service is good. My favorite dish is the Tampiquena. I've come many times for lunch and a couple times for dinner and plan to keep coming back.
