    I was craving seafood and approaching the fwy to make my way back home. Given the area (primarily trucking/commercial buildings) I thought this restaurant was empty for that very reason. Nevertheless, I gave it a shot.

    In terms of the parking, they have their own lot.

    The restaurant offers dine - in or carry out. I chose carry out. It's much bigger inside than what I presumed it to be. I was immediately greeted and the server was polite - greatly appreciated as I was in a bad mood that day.

    Looking at the menu, I immediately thought their prices were pretty high.
    I simply wanted 3 ceviche tostadas - they were approximately. $6-$7 each ! I def. didn't want to spend $20 on 3 tostadas so I almost walked out. I chose to go w/ only 2 tostadas and get over the fact that my cravings over $15 probably weren't worth it. W/out me actually voicing my thoughts on their high prices, the waitress advised I go with the large shrimp dish instead. She mentioned it was $14 and served about 3 tostadas. I trusted her and was merely disappointed when I got my food.  

    The wrapped to- go order seemed so tiny in the box but my assumption was wrong l when I managed to get 5 tostadas out of the ceviche intended for 3 .

    The quality and flavour were A grade. The shrimp ceviche was an absolute explosion of flavor. I will definitely return whenever I'm in the area.

    I came to this place with my husband 8/25. It was our first time coming here and for sure our last! My main complaint is the food. We ordered ceviche de pescado and it was more like confetti! The fish was cut into little dry pebbles with more tomato in it than fish. The portion was supposed to be for two people but I was only able to make one tostada out of it. My husband ordered pescado zarandeado which we've had at other restaurants before and know what to expect. This fish was a (robalo) one of the best and most expensive. Also the waitress said it was enough for two but not true. The small fish looked good but when we tried it it was dry and flaky with a very strong fish odor more like tuna. It was really disappointing  since the fish was $40! We were so hungry we decided to try the camarones costa azul the ones wrapped in bacon and I have to say those were very good! But the price was ridiculous $37 for 6 shrimps! WTH?

    The food is ok... me and my coworkers go 1-2 times a week for a few months now. BUT... one time ..they charge my coworker twice for a sope. 2nd - my friend was accused of not paying for her meal the last time we were there. She had to log into her account to show them she had paid. What surprises me is that they are VERY ON IT when it comes to charging ppl... we pay separate but one by one they charge us. We always pay bc it WAS our go to spot.
    3rd- they WOULDN'T let my friend pay for our friend's food. They said we had to pay separate .. which we did and my friend had to buy something in order to make it 10.00 or more.  It's all too much!!!!
    We will not be coming back anymore. If you want good seafood.. just go a few blocks down from this place. Place is called 4 Vientos
