We had a wonderful experience at this mariscos restaurant! The seafood was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and prepared beautifully. You can really taste the quality in every bite, from the shrimp to the ceviche. The oysters were very fresh as well, though they were much larger than we typically prefer—we usually enjoy smaller to medium-sized ones. That being said, everything else was outstanding, and the overall experience more than made up for it. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re craving authentic and delicious mariscos!
