Love this place. Been to both locations, but I like the one in Pasadena more. The atmosphere was nice and the food and drinks were on point! I enjoy the Pineapple pina colada’s, and I like the house. Sushi rolls when I go.

The fajitas could use a little more seasoning, and the grilled shrimp was over cooked. I did enjoy the atmosphere and karaoke entertainment.

First of all our waitress was lovely! She was very attentive, friendly, and everything you need in customer service. The food was great a lot of flavor we got the oysters 6 raw and 6 prepared. We also got the mariscada and the seafood parrillada. Food was so good. The DJ was playing good music and it wasn’t packed like the other seafood place down the street which I guess the Pacifico is underrated cause this place deserves to be just as packed but glad it wasn’t. Would definitely come again.

This place was near where I drive weekly and finally decided to drop by. My server Danna was awesome right off the bat with a big smile which put me at ease. The chips were perfect and I loved the fact that they heat up the salsa which not many places do. I ordered the parillada for one and some stuffed jalapenos with like a seafood mix I think. For the jalapenos, they should prob forgo the fried part and try and perfect a bacon wrap one grill style. I didn't really like the fried jalapeno due to it being fried. The jalapeno with the filling itself was great though. The parillada was hearty since they did not skimp on the meat like other places do so I was like hell yea! I'm definitely coming back to try out some of their other items since they have a great selection. I recommend trying them out if your close and looking for a nice place to eat and relax.

Amazing experience. The food was hot and fresh. Like I could see the steam coming from the plate. The sushi was plentiful and fresh. Absolutely delicious recipes. Unique concept with so many TVs for watching sports. The waitress was kind and attentive. We were impressed and we will be back. The lunch portions were surprisingly generous. The restaurant looks and smells clean. Update 6/16: Make sure you try the El Paisano. Absolutely delicious sushi roll. I’ve never tasted such a thing. The chef has created a sushi roll with a Mexican style. Incorporating tomatillo sauce, fajita chicken and avocado. It’s magnificent. We first tried it on my birthday and went back a week later because we were craving it. You must try it! My husband and I love this restaurant and the service but this roll is will definitely keep us coming back again and again.
