Got the family fish and rice and I gotta say it was pretty dang good. Super fresh and hot right out of the fryer. And their rice is some of the best anywhere. My new go to when I'm craving fried fish!!!

I've only eaten here once but I will definitely be back at least once a week from now on! I came in with my coworker for lunch, very cozy place tucked away next to a motel. The complimentary chips and salsa were some of the best I've had in San Antonio, chips were warm and crisp and their salsa was full of flavor with just the right amount of heat. I was impressed with the size of the menu and was surprised to see they also offer more then just Mexican. I ordered the filet de flameado of the lunch menu which was ready in about 10 minutes. The fish and shrimp were packed full of flavor, luckily it came with rice which I used to soak up the rest of the lemon and butter left behind. I very much look forward to trying everything on their menu!
