Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Detailed Reviews: Reviews order informed by descriptiveness of user-identified themes such as cleanliness, atmosphere, general tips and location information.

Just a great local place with good, inexpensive food. Jorge makes the place fun and eating outside was a delight. I had the BBQ ribs, while friends had coconut shrimp and fish

Overpriced for what you get and the most expensive margarita I had while in PV. The shrimp were heavily breaded with flour taste. The highlight is the owner who is a real character and super nice guy. I was told the food was amazing here...but would not return.More

As others have said, hidden gem. Service was good and food even better. Not the least expensive but worth a treat. Once found, you will remember

I'm not one to wander off the beaten path. WANDER HERE! You won't think you are going to the right place, keep walking. It totally will be the right place. No frills, just a warm welcome and good food; pride in the dishes prepared, hospitality...in a crazy tourist trap area. This NY'r will be back!!More

What a charming place and the owner was our waiter and he was superb and so friendly. The food was divine. Off the beaten path but very close and easy to locate. Great food and they work very hard to make you feel valued

Disappointed ! Prices have escalated relative to eateries around the area. Whole experience was not worthy of a write. Methinks they have relied too heavily on the past in terms of finished quality

Out of the way spot in the Zona Romantica with friendly service, neighbourhood ambience and good seafood. A pleasant walk up the hill from the boardwalk tourist traps is well worth your while.

The restaurant decor is Mexican and lovely. The food is delicious and not overpriced. The service was excellent. It’s off the beaten track, which is good. I suggest you give it a try if you’re in the romantic zone.

The restaurant itself is fun and beautiful inside. Service was great. Had a Cesar salad that was great. Ordered the house shrimp and steak medallions and neither were impressive. Steak was just a different kind of meat than in the states. Maybe it was a...bad night. Shrimp had a hint of mint. I wanted to like it but it was just ok.More

Lovely hidden spot with exceptionally delicious food. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main malecón, we loved the personal service by Jorge (not the owner). Good food and good people.
