I was in town working and decided to stop in, and am I glad that I did! I have been here for three nights in a row since I was in town working for a week lol I was not disappointed, between the ribeye steak and the nachos and last, but definitely not least were the tacos! Vanessa, Flor, and Diego each were very friendly and very knowledgeable of their menu items and did a great job with service. I highly recommend you stop in if you are in Pecos Texas, it is definitely worth your time.

This place is a gem. Great fish tacos with the green salsa. The Micheladas are off the . The Wait staff Samantha is friendly, happy, and genuinely make you feel like you are their #1 customer.

Great place. i been coming here for quite a while. The place has been redone and looks great. i rather have the menu with pics rather than a fancy restaurant menu where you dont know what to order. I order the fish tacos and they were good. i did order ranchero beans but they forgot to bring them to me. My friend had a dish with fish and shrinp but he did not like the fancy taste on the fish(pic with fork on plate). the rest was fine.

Surprisingly great Sea Food in West Texas. Big appreciation to the bar tender for telling me the story of the margarita and making it like I have never had. Stop in and ask. It hit my taste bud. Will be back.

This places punches way above its weight. The food and the mezcal cocktails were really, really good. I was honestly shocked at how good this place is for west Texas. I’ll dine/drink here again 100%.
