  My favorite place for seafood while we are here.  The menu has a lot of variety, and the waiters speak relatively good English.  The service usually is speedy, and the food is reasonably priced.  
  
  There is lots of seating, both inside the open restaurant and outside on the street front.  
  
  We had a deep fried whole snapper.  The meat was good and fresh.  We are it with the salsa for the topos (chips).  We like things spicy but not sour spicy so we didn't use any of the bottles chilies that they gave us.  
  
  CHOCOLATE CLAMS
  We also ordered almejas chocolatas naturales (meaning they shuck them and serve them raw, like oysters).  These were delicious.  The meat is crunchy, but it is gritty at times.  We like them with lemon, salt, and habanero chile.  
  
  CEVICHE DE PESCADO
  A fish type salad where the fish is mixed in raw and cooked with the lime juice of the salad.  It's good.  It wasn't anything to rave about.  The fish was shredded so small that you couldn't tell it was fish.
  
  FIRE GRILLED OCTOPUS
  A specialty dish, we asked to have it cooked a little spicy.  It was good.  The octopus was perfectly cooked and had a good flavor.  It wasn't spicy; it just looked that way.  There aren't many restaurants serving octopus here in La Paz.  It is worth the stop.  
  
  GRILLED MARLIN
  This dish was delicious.  The fish was perfectly cooked.  It was encrusted around the outside when seasame and grilled.  Over a drizzle of a light mustard.  It was perfect.  Juicy and flavorful.

  Slow service so be patient. Food was ok, had a smoked marlin salad.
  Red wine was limited to 3 brands...
  It is what it is, great location and fun for people watching.
  There's probably better places but if you don't feel like exploring this place is good.

  This place is not at all what it's cracked up to be. It came recommended by more than one local and I left sadly disappointed. The assorted oysters were terrible and since 8 out of 10 of them were baked, that's not saying much for the oysters. Perhaps not the restaurant's fault the oysters sucked, but it is their fault they flipped the orders on me and my buddy. We both ordered 1 lobster taco each. He ordered a fish taco and me a shrimp taco. I mistook the fish for prawns and he mistook my shrimp for chopped fish, but it was all fried so it was hard to tell which was which. In either case, the lobster was great. The fish, not so much. Very greasy.
  
  Aside from that snafu, I was annoyed we had to go to the equivalent of a salad bar to dress our tacos.

  This is a very nice place. The food is delicious. We ordered shrimp cocktail, pescado zarandeado, and camarones a la diabla. Desert was to die for. My favorite was the mango cheesecake.

  Food was delicious and great service. Right across from beautiful ocean and amazing sunset.
