4.7 / 5.0(1,656 reviews)
Everything about this restaurant is on point! All the dishes were so fresh, from the shrimp to the tuna to the grilled fish… perfection! We had a party of 9 and pretty much ordered almost half the menu - not one dish was bad. The guacamole and chips with the spicy hot sauce sooooo yum! Drinks did not disappoint either! We celebrated a birthday and they made it special. Big shout out to Enrique who made everything so easy and attended to all our needs! Would definitely go back and recommend this place for anyone who wants fresh & delicious seafood that won’t break the bank! I love this place and would gladly go back any time, mercury be damned!!!! We came here with a big group (res strongly recommended) and they served us so well. Alfredo was our server and I love him. The best, gave us great recommendations. The rock shrimp and the aguachile were outstanding. I ordered the tacos with tuna and sweet potato and they were SO GOOD. the tostadas were also great. Some people really liked their fillets as well but I wanted something less heavy for warm weather. This is a very nice restaurant specializing more on seafood. I asked for the writer's recommendation and when he confirmed I liked raw tuna, he suggested this tuna covered guacamole. It was wonderful and filling! In addition, I am not much of a margarita fan but tried one here. It was one of the better margaritas I have ever had.

The best ZR restaurant of the trip. I knew that before heading there, from my research, but it was so right. Delicious Montaditos (tuna tataki), crab croquettes, and cocktails (try their ricilla with something sweet - I mixed it with a virgin pina colada).

The service was excellent. Great ambiance. Nice breeze on the second floor. Though music is a tad loud for me but no detraction there. My biggest gripe is the food. Was it bad? No. But was it amazing? No. Each dish had areas that could be better executed. The tuna steak has an interesting unnatural color. The burger was too salty. Enchiladas was ok but more sauce than substance. Pricing is okay by US standards and in a touristy area. Overall, besides the service I don’t really recommend them for the food.
