I had a very delicious and fresh shrimp tostadas from this restaurant. They were closing up and took my order anyway. Lots of shrimp and the beans and shell were great.

Found this place while waiting for some car repairs. Soooo happy we did. The food was cooked fresh, served hot and tasted great. The portion was so much that 2 of the 3 with me couldn't finish it all. I'd recommend you give it a try.

Wow! I ordered from this place for Christmas dinner tonight from Uber Eats and I'm super impressed! The shrimp tacos are to die for! So many pieces of shrimp in each taco. Other places usually put in like 3 pieces but this place just grabbed a handful and put it in for each taco lol! Guacamole is delicious! Just wished it came with some chips but overall I will order again!
