What it's actually like
Highly polarized reviews with strong positive sentiment regarding authentic Mexican seafood dishes and late-night availability competing against serious concerns about pricing discrepancies, billing fraud, sanitary conditions (stray dogs), and overcharging—particularly with card payments. Older reviews are predominantly positive, while recent reviews highlight systemic problems with overcharging and cleanliness that have damaged reputation significantly.

Wait reality — Generally quick service during busy times, though some reviews mention waits. Best known as a late-night option (open until at least 11PM, inconsistently until 2AM). Popular on weekends when other venues close.
