Located in the heart of the city, this local favorite has built a reputation for authentic dishes that transport diners straight to the sun-soaked coastlines of Mexico with every bite.

The menu showcases the coastal Mexican culinary tradition with an emphasis on fresh seafood, perfectly seasoned meats, and house-made salsas. Signature offerings include their famous fish tacos made with beer-battered white fish, topped with crisp cabbage slaw and creamy chipotle sauce, alongside generous portions of carne asada and shrimp fajitas that arrive sizzling at the table.

The restaurant’s interior captures the laid-back Baja vibe with warm earth tones, colorful Mexican tiles, and comfortable booth seating that encourages lingering conversations over margaritas. The open kitchen allows diners to watch the culinary team at work, while the bar area features an impressive selection of tequilas and craft cocktails that complement the bold flavors of the cuisine.
