For the combination plate with an extra half pound of shrimp for 2 people. It was way more than enough food. We got there pretty early on a Sunday and there was barely a wait. You can order food inside the fish market or outside at the window. The food was delicious. You can order lemons and hot sauce separately.

Another standout is the Crab Enchiladas, topped with ranchero sauce and served alongside Spanish rice—a unique twist that you won’t find everywhere.
