This restaurant has really good seafood in coming here for years. They have a really good variety on their menu and their stuff is very friendly.
I love seafood, specifically campechanas and ceviche or agua chiles, BUT this place has a plate called "pescado sarandeado" that you gotta try. Good music, good ambiente and terrific micheladas. Keep it up guys.
Stopped by today for some lunch and drinks with my wife. Maria was supper friendly and attentive! She made excellent recommendations. We started off with some oysters and aguachiles- my wife had a mango margarita on the rocks, and I ordered a bucket of pacifico's. For entrees - gordonize ala diabla and camarones con crema and hand-made tortillas! Both were super delicious! Was definitely worth our long drive! Will be back!

Doesn't look like much when you past by the Mexican Seafood Restaurant. Right? But little do you know this Restaurant been in my childhood ever since I was 5 years old. I remember the Chips and Salsa were always my favorite when I first sit down. The salsa is beautifully made with a little spice that makes your tongue get on fire but you just simply can't get enough of it. Ever since I started going with my family when I was 5 years old and now... I just recently went yesterday with my Valentines date. And I have to say the mariscos are still A1! They haven't lost their magical taste of the marisco plates/dishes. I tried something new yesterday which was: "Filete Rellenó!" The plate filled me up so fat that I felt like a pregnant women at the end of the day but it was still good! Keep it up, El Nuevo Ensanda!
