Glad we found this quaint little spot by the bridge. The huge margaritas were perfectly blended, the homemade chips and guacamole and salsa were just right and the chicken tacos and tortilla soup were delicioso! Little better prices than right on the Malecon, too. Highly recommended.

A local restaurant so lower pricing and an authentic feel. Shady with a view of the river and bridge. Friendly fast, efficient server; worth a few extra steps from the beach and tourist restaurants.

Beautiful place next to the stream, just off the the bridge. Excellent margarita and mojito, and very much enjoyed the BLT, refried beans and atmosphere. Very friendly waitress, clean place, great food... Highly recommended!

Had margaritas and guacamole, both were excellent. The guacamole is fresh and made with all the good pico de gallo fixings. Plus, we did not have to ask for salsa.
