    I went here some time last week and tried the  Lobster tacos and elote ! Honestly surprised how amazing the food was . The lobster tasted so fresh and I'm almost sure that it's not frozen since it's pretty easy to tell if it is :)

    It was also such a pleasant experience dealing with the staff when I forgot to tell them a change I needed to make about my order after the fact. My server Sarah (with an H, because that's important) was the sweetest! I honestly hate being a difficult customer, or at least feel like I am,  but she was so accommodating to my needs! It was also really nice to see their staff on deck working together and all smiles! Seems like people like working there and that says a lot about the company's culture which I completely love!

    If you ever stop by, you should try their lobster tacos and elote !!! Wish I could visit again but I was only in town for that week!

    My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. Let me start by saying we were not impressed with the service at all, it took over 10 minutes before we're even were Acknowledged to place our order. We ordered the 3 taco plate with rice and black beans and another taco on the side also a side of chips with salsa.
    The food for the price I would have expected bigger portions, and definitely more flavor, we had to salt everything and use lots of salsas just so it would have taste.
    Now about the service we had to ask 3 times to the servers if we could please have refills our beverages and all 3 times we were told they were going to get them and they never did, that took over 10 minutes as well. We finally got a hold of the manager and he finally refilled only one of our drinks.
    In conclusion the service could have been better if the servers would have paid more attention to the customers instead of talking with each other in excess, the food in my opinion could use more seasoning, and for the price ,portions could have been bigger.

    I grabbed a bite to eat here while visiting a friend in Newport, it had been recommended by a few friends. Its a smaller place, but worth trying!!

    To start, we ordered chips & salsa as well as 3 orders of the Diablo BBQ Oysters. The chips and salsa were pretty standard- the guacamole tasted fresh and had big chunks of avocado which I loved!! They Oysters were SO FRESH, didn't taste fishy like some I've tried, would definitely order again!

    For my meal I tried the wild taco combo which came with two different tacos (I chose lobster & carnitas) and chose a salad as my side. The great thing about these tacos is they have an option where you can have them wrapped in lettuce instead of tortillas! The carnitas taco was AMAZING. I have literally never had such a good carnitas taco in my life-not even exaggerating!! The lobster taco wasn't my favorite, honestly didn't have a very good taste and was a little bland. The side salad was good- fresh & came with a really yummy ranch dressing. The outdoor seating was pleasant with good decor & the waitress was kind, attentive and fast!

    For the price I'd say it was definitely worth it, I'll be coming back for the carnitas taco every time I'm in Newport!!

    We just went here today for taco tuesday. The food was delicious and the service was so friendly. I ordered wateemelon juice which is very good. Only the issue here was the parking which is common in Newport. Will definitely go back again for sure!

    Phenomenal tacos! The meat is juicy and the fish tastes fresh! Will definitely be coming back. Especially so I can try some other entrees.
