The worst service in this place is the third time we visited this location as a family and the last time the waitresses are rudeWe ordered several dishes of food and one of the dishes was too oversalted. I decided to ask them to please change it and the manager or waitress decided to bring me the same shrimp with a different sauce. It is something a little unpleasant, disgusting, what they did and disrespectful.

Very tasty and thoughtfully plated meals. Not the typical Mexican cuisine, with a strong focus on seafood. Great service with a smile! Would highly recommend! One demerit for overly loud live music.

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE! I’m serious. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Forsyth County. And considering I’m ranked in the Top 5% of all Mexican Restaurant reviewers worldwide on Google - that statement carries a lot of weight ?Went here today for the first time ever on a whim because I happened to be in the area shopping. Do NOT judge this place by the look of it outside NOR by the dated shopping center it’s located in (Lakeland Plaza - same shopping center as Publix just at the opposite end of Publix). The inside of this Mexican restaurant is very nice, family friendly, clean, and has great aesthetics! The menu is Seafood forward but there are many other options if Seafood is not your thing. BUT if you love Seafood and Mexican food like I do, you will think you died and went to Heaven! Never thought combining Seafood and Mexican food would ever be this good but the kitchen here is making everything from scratch with only super fresh ingredients. You will agree after you take your first bite - I promise! We ordered the Lunch Grouper tacos ? - the Grouper was crazy fresh! We also had the Collared Greens egg roll appetizer - they’re slap your Momma good! ? ? Also their black beans are the best I’ve ever had (outside of Little Havana ?? in Miami, FL).Final note: skip Los Rios and drive a few doors down and try Marisqueria El Escandalo.The Cons:Name of the restaurant is difficult to pronounce for gringos like myself.Location is not easy to find.

Tried this place out and was pleasantly surprised! The grouper tacos & octopus tacos were very tasty and fresh. The shrimp and scallop pasta was delicious, good mix of veggies, pasta and protein. Will definitely be back!

The food is always awesome. The service not so much - we were the only ones in the restaurant and they didn't seem to care. Finally they mixed up our drink order and tried to insist that they did not - mistakes happen and all we wanted was to have it made right.Am I sure? Yes. We ordered the Peppermint Bark Martini which was listed as vodka, peppermint bark, and kahlua. We received green sour drinks instead! There is nothing on that list of ingredients that is green nor sour, so we assumed a mistake, which happens. One of the other drinks, The Grinch, even says tequila, lime juice, and melon liquer, which would be green and possibly sour, so again it looked like a simple mixup that could be easily corrected. Instead both the server and the bartender insisted our drinks were correct!I love the food, but I honestly am not sure I will ever go back after being treated like that.

Expensive Frozen Microwave SeaFood. Good Service and Atomsphere, some of the worst Seafood I have ever had. Save your money and go somewhere good.

This restaurant should be a lot busier than it was on Saturday night. A hidden gem seems the public is missing out on. Authentic seafood specialty Mexican style. And from living aboard 6 years in Central and South America this place is legit. Even had live mariachi singer who was spectacular as a talent. Service was great. No friction on helping you with whatever you ask. The food was good and of large portions. I will be back.
