Seafood dishes like Camarones a la Diabla and Pescado Empanizado are featured, but traditional Tex-Mex dishes including fajitas, tacos and enchiladas dot the menu. Salads and soups, like their signature Sopa del Mar with shrimp, fish, vegetables and spices, are among the many choices, and dessert options include sopapillas, tres leches cake and fried plantains. A reduced-price lunch menu is available on weekdays.
