She was here on a visit and we decided to spend a night in progreso for dinner. we drove and saw this little restaurant a block back from the picturesquecon (beach promenade) and stayed by to try it. We ordered Margaritas, of course, who came strong and tall, and the young man who served us was polite and smiled. We took some time to order how we gavebing and no one thought. after order the food took about 25 min. we split a plate of fish ceviche as an appy (see half at home). It was very good. mum ordered the grilled fish and I ordered baked fish. they were both very moist almost juicy. we were so surprised. they were also light and fluffy. the two margaritas, a lemonade, and the three full dinners came to 380 pesos (approximately $21 usd at 18-1) and it was so disturbed we went back the next night for Mom's last day in mexico for another round of maragaritas and dinner. the service is smiling, friendly and polite. I asked many questions and they were polite. I don't know if they soak English, but they understood my less than perfect Spanish. an older gentleman who works there was fast with Tidbits of information and was very helpful and friendly.

Walking along the beach we were asked by several restaurant owners to use their tables and umbrellas on the beach, and were told they would bring us drinks. The first waiter suggested we run a tab. The second man (arm in a cast said we had to pay in cash. To avoid confusion, we decided to pay cash for everything. When it was time to return to the boat, we were presented with a bill for $180! The server denied that we had paid anything in cash!! We spoke to both servers at the same time (one represented himself to be the manager , and both denied we had paid cash! Luckily we had enough money to cover the bill, but only barely since we only took what we thought we might spend for food and souvenirs. BUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO US IF WE HADN'T HAD THE EXTRA CASH? Our group consisted of six adult females and six teenage girls. VERY SCARY! STAY AWAY FROM THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I couldn't find the name of this restaurant on Trip Advisor and had to request it be added. They may change the name routinely if word gets out about their way of doing business, so you may not find this name anywhere. My recollection is they were the only restaurant on the public beach with red umbrellas and they were next to a place called Buddy's (just read reviews that indicate similar problems there! . My advice is either book an excursion through Carnival or stay on the boat.

They close at 7:00 and we're here at 6:00. We have our choice of table and service was attentive and friendly. We spluged and ordered the fried while fish paid after weight. Our server brought out two fresh fish and we chose one and she explained how to say the freshness. Beans, tortilla chips and squash were taken out before the meal. I had a Piña Colada and Nabeby had a beer and a water. We ordered a plate of beans and rice. The fish was cooked for perfection. Crispy and deliciously seasoned. There were some bad reviews for this restaurant, but I give it the highest rating for food, price and service. Was it a bit worn-out looking and dirty? Yes, but this is to be expected in some off-the-beaten-path Mexican restaurants. We got hand-sanitary before I entered what I liked. We paid $675 (Pesos) for our entire meal with the fish by $20 (dollar). I recommend and would certainly return.

Dont let them get away with trying to trick you. We paid less than the bill and told them to call the police if they didnt like it.
