Go straight for
the shrimp tacos.

For me, this is the best seafood place I have tried so far. My advice is simple: order the shrimp tacos. Service was almost instant during my visit.

My photos show battered shrimp tacos, tomato and onion toppings, lime, sauces and tortilla chips on the table. The yellow menu lists tacos and tostadas at 45 pesos each, with shrimp, marlin, crab and fish options. There are also seafood cocktails, ceviches and shrimp aguachile.

ART’S ORDERING TIP

Go straight for tacos de camarón. To order three, say “Tres tacos de camarón, por favor” — trehs TAH-kohs deh kah-mah-ROHN, pohr fah-VOR. At the photographed price, that is 135 MXN before drinks or extras.
