Always a great experience here. The ceviche is the best I’ve ever tried. The food is always fresh and tastes truly amazing. The environment is small and intimate, and the service is always fast and kind. 10/10, highly recommend.

So here it the truth! We are from the Midwest but travel all over the USA and can say WOW! The food is amazing and so fresh it’s cut in house where you see them do it. But not even a hint of fish smell! Ordered 4 different things and was amazed by all! I have spend 5x more money for nothing compared to this. Do not pass this place up! And I’d say any bad reviews are from competitors, not real customers!

We enjoyed the fried black drum, they serve real lemonade and have a clean restroom. The seating area is small but it looks they have overflow upstairs. Small staff but the service is good.

We LOVE coming here. Best Seafood Restaurant in Brownsville, hands down. Honestly, probably in South Texas. We love seafood and have tried many different places. But, none like these.The food is freshly made and delicious!The waitress is a younger girl and she’s absolutely fantastic, Karla. She is amazing! We got the Mariscada for 2 and a Fish Taco and Soup . Amazing!

You have to be aware it’s located at the light. We turned into Jack in the Box by mistake, but my husband drove on the shoulder of the street to get in their parking lot since it’s right next door. It’s small & cozy. Very friendly server, FRESH HOMEMADE seafood & aguas frescas. We choose our fish from the fish market & got it cooked the way we wanted it. They serve while you wait for your order a delicious fish broth. I can’t get over how fresh the seafood was. My husband also got excellent ceviche tostadas too. Loved it. We will definitely be back when we are in Brownsville.
