Food was off the chain fresh and wonderful. Not greasy taco hell style. We had the nachos Camaron and empanadas. More than enough for two people so leftovers will be riding home with us. The chips and salsa were great and the salsa is served hot. This place is worth making an effort to stop and at least pick up a quick bite. Hibiscus tea with Tajin on the rim was a perfect drink and regular tea was also very good. You will not be disappointed.

I was iffy at first, but omg we loved it! The prices went up but the food is so worth it. The shrimp boil is super good and the Torre de mariscos is very good.

Thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu date night here and so glad we stumbled upon them. The aguachile verde and pina fresca were delightful. Lighter fare with a kick. So good. My husband had the torta with bistec. He was gracious to allow me a bite and it was wonderful also. Fabulous atmosphere with music and outdoor seating which felt like picnic in a garden. They have some indoor seating also but it was a beautiful evening so outside we went.

Five stars all around!!! The food was so incredibly amazing. It is hard to find good ceviche in DFW but they knock it out of the park!! The staff was incredibly kind and the atmosphere was perfect right in the middle of downtown!

The Holy Shrimp, great litter restaurant with shrimp served just about any way you can imagine. The salsa was incredible, We had the shrimp boil and a shrimp bowl, and food was hot and fresh. The only complaint I have is that the shrimp in the boil wasn't devained, I made a pretty good mess of my hands doing it. I will be returning, great place.
