We had dinner there after a friend highly recommend them, and all four of us left our plates and ate some where else. I had steak fajitas and the steak was bland and very chewy like rubber. My wife had chicken and the chicken was undercooked. The other couple we were with didn't enjoy there food either. I've never gone... More

Rather pedestrian Mexican food with a so-so beer selection. Typical of the Seaside boardwalk-- I mean what do you expect, fine dining?

Pretty good Mexican food served in a great setting if you're lucky enough to get a seat on the outside deck. Overlooking the boardwalk and ocean, diners can people watch or get a nice panoramic view of the beach and pier amusements while eating. Chicken fajita was served piping hot. Quesadilla served with rice and refried beans was fresh. Pricing... More
