DEFINITELY a MUST TRY!

Open til 11 pm on Sat. nite: prompt seating and a nice welcome! A little hard to find: off Virginia street back towards Sports World. WONDERFUL, thick, crispy, warm tortilla chips promptly served with salsa AND beans slightly spiced up! The BEST seafood chimichanga I've ever had: the seafood creme sauce over the top and surrounding really made a big difference, garnished with frest tomatoes and green onion! And the seafood within was of decent size pieces. My husband had the Pescado Dorado (whole tilapia): he said it was also the best he's had. And he was pleased that they gave him lots of tortillas with his meal, not just a few. GOOD PRESENTATION of both dishes! My husband chose not to have frijoles with his meal, and was given a nice salad instead, another plus! The SERVICE given was GREAT! The tall, good looking guy checked on us regularly to see how we were doing, and served my platter with a joke and a smile! The senora also did a great job and was very prompt and professional. The music was good, as was the decor: a calming color of pink with a tropical theme with cute, colorful barstools. Overall was an EXCELLENT adventure, of which we plan to do again.
