The fish, shrimp, and manta ray tacos were decent, but the manta ray needed significantly more salt. After adding some, they tasted better, but it’s not ideal to have to do that after the fact. We also ordered wings, which were excellent. However, the horchata and Jamaica drinks were below par; they should be made fresh rather than dispensed from a machine. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but I can’t imagine how uncomfortable it will be in the summer with all the windows and the heat. Overall, prices are about average for our county, but the service definitely needs improvement. The food was good, but service is important to me, so I can't say I would return. Parking is also limited. I've heard the A Street location offers better food and service, but it is reportedly small, which is why we chose this one. If service is a priority for you, I wouldn't recommend this place as a first choice. However, if you're willing to wait and can track down your server, it might still be worth a visit. Overall, I’d give it 3 stars—it could easily be a 5 with the right changes, specifically well-trained servers who are eager to help. I hope this review is helpful. Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is suitable for children. We visited during the day when it was calm, but I can’t speak to how it is in the evening; it may not be as ideal then.
