Happy Hour Delicousness!

Loved the fruity sangria, bowl of seafood broth (chock full of seafood!), and the $5 and $6 appetizers. The waiter gave me several ideas for enjoying oysters on the half shell. My faves: a squeeze of limon, tabasco, and horseradish. They were so fresh and...lovely!More

The best fish tacos!

The smoked tuna taco is so amazing!! The shrimp ceviche tostada is also to die for. You also need to wash that down with a Tamarind Michalada!! This is my go to taco spot in San Diego.
