    Very good food and service. My only complaint was the Mexican band that roamed the restaurant and wanted 10 US dollars to sing one song.

    We liked it so much we went back the next day! The tuna tostadas and calamari ring appetizers are fabulous. I had the Fiesta Shrimp one night and the Governor tacos the next. Both were unbelievable good. Plus the prices are so reasonable. The atmosphere is nice great as the tables are in the sand and next to the water. So relaxing. Joe, our waiter was a really good server. Dont miss out by not trying it, you will not be disappointed.

    Todo en general estuvo muy bien pero me pareció demasiado caro un pescado frito en $800 de un tamaño normal para una persona. De resto es buena opción cuando estás en la playa y te quieres ir directo a un restaurante a comer rico y que te atiendan bien. Los viernes y domingos tienen música en vivo. 👍🏽

    Food isn’t delicious, the tortilla of my tacos were cold, I ordered a table in the terrace (outside) the unfriendly hostess put me as far away from the shore, saying that those tables are for larger groups minutes after she gives it to just a couple, (i made reservation) I went there bcuz my dad heard it’s a nice place with good food and not even that, so many waiters and I have to wait too long to get any of them attention to order more drinks. Such disappointment. Def not going back. But if u do and want a michelada just note that they charge u the beer and the michelada mix apart without saying it, indeed u can’t find drinks prices in the menu they give you, u gotta go online to check, if u don’t and order without knowing you’ll get surprise when u received the bill. Not worth the price at all. So many better options than this.

    Friendly staff and food was outstanding! Plus you can’t beat the ambiance and beautiful sunset views. Ask to sit in a hut/gazebo. We were a large party of 8 and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. They also accommodated our on the spot request to add another person to our table to make it 9. Drinks were fabulous and large. Live music was playing. We ordered several fish dishes plus calamari and chips and guacamole for apps. Definitely will return plus we found out they serve breakfast.

    We love visiting this fish taco place! Our waiter Roger took attentive care of our family celebrating our son’s 5th birthday, and he loved playing in the sand and on the play structure. There was live music with bongo drums and dancing when we arrived— can’t wait to return for such a memorable occasion! The level of service is incredible! Kudos to Juan and the hostess staff as well for making our family feel so welcome!

    Food was just ok. The service was really bad. The server disappeared for 40 min. The food came out wrong and was nothing to really write home about. This definitely doesn’t deserve the hype.

    Beautiful place -We always make a stop at El Fish Fritanga and it is always a great experience! They have made a few updates to the place and changed the menu. I would encourage them to go back to the original version of the Shrimp in Apricot sauce - it was not as good this time and it has always been my favorite! Pescadillas were fantastic and so was the fish soup!!

    Authentic Mexican seafood everything was delicious and fresh the fish from the fishing boat to the table. Great option if you are looking for a place out of the all inclusive resort. They keep the local price not inflated for tourists.

    If you’re looking for casual fish by the water and a lively scene, this is it. Do not come here though if you have any nine fish eaters.

    Everything was great EXCEPT the servers were all wearing masks:( SO unnecessary! We were outside, on the sand! Masks make it difficult to communicate with the server. We are on vacation. Do NOT want to see masks when we are on vacation! Thank you for the delicious piece of cake for my husband’s birthday!

    Food was very good. Only issue was I ordered a margarita with Don Julio tequila and it ended up being 32.00 USD! When I questioned the price they said it had two shots. Still a whole bottle at the resort is 52.00. They said they waiter should have told me it had two shots which he did not.

    Great food and accommodating service. There was live music that was a nice touch. The hoja santa was delicious and flavorful in a tomatillo sauce. Smoked marlin and tuna tostadas were light, fresh, and well seasoned leading up to the showstopper, whole fried fish. I get this every time I fo here, and I love it. Perfectly done, meaty, with a little crunch. It is my favorite.
