The BEST Coctel de Camaron hands down! A little pricey but totally worth it! The tacos and tortas are pretty bomb as well!

I have heard lots of good comments about this place.Some people say they have the best shrimp cocktails so, I decided to try it.I order a shrimp cocktail, and a soda . girl in the back took forever to come and help, she was polite and helpful.I ordered my food, went to sit down.Shrimp cocktail tasted pure ketchup.Not worth $25.00Salsas on the salsa bar where no flavor at all.I don't mind paying for good foodBuy paying $25.00 for 7 shrimps and ketchup is definitely not worth the hype.Not planning on going back.

I gave low rating just strictly because the cashier was a bit rude. I ordered a Coctel de camaron and I personally like to tip with cash so she watched when I declined on their cash register and she proceeded to roll her eyes at me so I did not tip after that because you should not EXPECT someone to tip you and then be rude when you were going to get tipped cash but the food is great I tip on service not because you feel entitled to being tipped

Fantastic customer service, and the food was delicious. I had the fish ceviche, came with a lot of avocado. It was soooo good I ate it so fast, practically inhaled it. Tried all of f there salsas they were all very amazing. Great little place in West Ventura. Prices are super reasonable as well, easy on the wallet. Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu.

Came because of the high reviews and the food was so bad. My shrimp ceviche tasted like they boiled the shrimp, let it sit, and served it with the same water. The carne asada was tasteless and fatty, and somehow they made my husband's taquitos super plain. Honestly don't know how it has so many positive reviews...really glad I didn't eat the ceviche I had a feeling I'd get sick seeing how rushed and little they cared about the quality of their food.

Had lunch with my boyfriend. He ordered the shrimp tacos and I ordered the shrimp cocktail. Neither of us were very happy with what we ordered. Wasn't great, sitting outside wasn't great. Even asking what some dishes came with when ordering seemed like we were bothering them. Won't go back.

Shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer that is always a crowd-pleaser. It is made with fresh, cooked shrimp that are served in a tangy cocktail sauce. The shrimp are typically peeled and deveined, and they are often served with a garnish of lemon or celery.I had the opportunity to try the shrimp cocktail at Jarocho seafood Years ago, and I was very impressed. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and they were so tender that they melted in my mouth. The cocktail sauce was also delicious, and it had the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors.I would definitely recommend shrimp cocktail to anyone who is looking for a delicious and refreshing appetizer. It is a perfect dish to serve for a party or a special occasion.
