  Diamond in the rough.  We went here looking for good Mexican food and were immediately impressed by the staff and frankly, by the salsa.  This is definitely home made and hade a nice bite.
  
  The food was made fresh and very tasty. Get the burrito and fill it with your favorite protein.  
  
  We saw a number of guests order the fresh seafood and mow through their dinner,  would go there when we are back in the area,

  I've been here several times and they are pretty good but not consistent in their seafood quality.
  
  I typically like their ceviche. But my wife and I got a plate of oysters one time and they were not good. Just not good. Room temp, not fresh tasting.
  
  On their better days they are good. Their prices are fair and service has always been friendly and inviting even though I don't speak Spanish.

  We went here on a whim. So glad we did. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Beer choices are good. Large portions. Friendly staff. We will dine here again.

  If you're anything like me, you've got this weird thing where you assume all the restaurants close to your house are bad, just because they're close. Like, if the restaurant is any good i'm going to have to drive for at least ten minutes to get there, right? Wrong. I've lived within walking distance from this restaurant since the day it opened I don't know how many years ago, and I've always driven past it, totally ignoring it. Maybe it's because the words "Seafood Restaurant" are plastered all over the walls, and I have a huge seafood allergy.. yeah that's probably it.
  
  Well one day I turned to the old yelp-o-sphere to see if there were any new Mexican restaurants I hadn't heard about yet and I saw this place pull up. Before I realized where it was I had already been convinced by the dozens of 5 star reviews to try it out.
  
  Walking into this restaurant was like walking into a really well kept secret, kinda like walking into Red Iguana before it exploded into popularity. Everyone kinda looks up at you as you walk in like "oh cool, you made it before there's an hour wait to get in."
  
  Now if you'll remember from before I have a serious seafood allergy, and this place is like 95% seafood. So when I first looked at the menu I didn't think I'd be able to stay. But after close inspection I managed to find two options. A steak burrito and a chicken enchilada. I actually ended up having an issue with my order, they sent me home with a shrimp burrito instead of my steak burrito. I brought it back and they were super nice about the whole situation and let me keep the shrimp burrito. I obviously can't eat it so I gave it to my dad and he claims is was literally good enough to die for. I can say the same about the steak burrito, and my girlfriend would say the same about the chicken enchiladas.
  
  So, the next time you're going down Redwood Road and you pass by a restaurant with a giant whale on the front with the words "Seafood Restaurant" in giant letters. Make sure to stop in and get the steak burrito.
