The salsas are homemade and highly sought after. Reviewers rave about their top favorite, the mango salsa, although Grandma's Green Salsa comes in a close second.
You will love the ambiance of the restaurant, with colorful designs and lots of artwork.

Sometimes it's so popular there are no seats to be found in the restaurant! If that happens, you can order at the to-go counter and take it with you to the nearby beach to sit and enjoy.
