Things started off really nicely here as they brought a delicious shot of fish broth as a free starter.

Then it went downhill pretty fast.

We accidentally ordered a different dish since the waiter and us couldn’t understand each other very well. When the dish came, I immediately told her we meant to order smth else and there must have been a misunderstanding. Asked if we can replace but she refused. I asked to ask a manager. She came back saying they still can’t replace it. No respectable restaurant would do this. This was also a simple fish dish, not something expensive that you can’t just send back to the kitchen to make a customer satisfied.

The next failure was a shrimp cocktail which came with… wait for it — frozen shrimps. They were one of those tiny cooked frozen shrimps you buy in a bag in a supermarket. The half that wasn’t frozen were chewy, flavorless and basically inedible. I sighed and proceeded to ask for a manager again; this time he agreed to take it off the menu. Curiously, he didn’t seem to be surprised that they were frozen and swiftly offered to replace it which means it must have happened before.

Their fish soup was decent but, again, the seafood was not fresh, tiny, chewy and the broth itself was too salty and lacked depth (we added the spicy oil that was on the table and it’s gotten noticeably better).

I will hands down tell you this is the best thing I've eaten so far in Mexico (we've eaten from a lot of places so far). Me, my family, and our new travel buddies sat down here to grab a quick bite before heading back to the bus. And let me tell you we were in for a surprise. The food was delicious and the owner and the staff were extremely helpful and courteous to us. Not to mention we only had like 30 mins from us sitting down to eat to get back to the bus. The owner took all of this into accord including allergies making adjustments to certain menu items to better suit us. If you are ever in the area of this place check it out it won't disappoint! If I had to give any criticism it would be my mother-in-law order the red snapper and it was fried a little too hard but outside of that nothing else

The food here is beyond incredible. The price is extremely fair. Great seafood, decent atmosphere. Definitely a must check out spot. The quality more-than justifies the American price tag. Our favorite spot so far in PDC.

There were bad reviews about service so I debated coming here, but decided to stop for a lunch with my husband. We were greeted and seated quickly and our server took our order pretty quick as well. He got a complimentary soup for tasting also fresh chips and salsa right away which were delicious. We got tacos and a seafood trio entree and everything was delicious. For us both services and food and drinks were all great. If you are seafood lover, I recommend you to check this place out!

What a wonderful place, the food is fresh a new each dish is sophisticated and fresh. I wanted to taste as much as possible so I ordered half of the ceviche dishes, whey were spectacular. If you’re looking for a unique fresh ceviche experience you should definitely come here

The place is nice, the food was fantastic.
I order some shrimps, super spicy! my wife had tuna tostada which was real good. They serve you some kind of shrimp broth as appetizer which was exquisite!
Prices are ok.

La Fisheria Selection (Grilled Octopus and the fish selection is amazing with a smoky flavor)!
Lime habanero prawns is also amazing, (if you like your food spicy)!
Fettuccine Alfredo Prawns is way too creamy, (a little bland, especially when there is no Parmesan cheese).
Prawn al pastor tacos is also bland!
Traditional Mexican guacamole is ok.
