Fish and shrimp combo is delicious! Small location, quick service, plenty of salsas to choose from. FYI No fried fish or shrimp plates currently available and they dont sell any alcohol either. Great for a quick in and out bite if your on the go.

One of the many small coctelerias in Brownsville. We went there for Valentine's day. A Cocteleria is a place that serves seafood cocktails like shrimp or oyster cocktails. My oyster cocktail was super fresh and flavorful. The shrimp tacos were soft and very well seasoned. The service was professional and fast.

Great shrimp cocktail with options to add oyster, squid, octopus, and ceviche. We were given some ceviche samples when we entered, which was great. Service was wonderful, really happy we checked it out.

Super delicious! The rice was flavorful I ordered the fried shrimp and they were LARGE! The takeout experience was fantastic! Made eating at home feel like I was at the restaurant! They packaged everything very conveniently. I asked for extra lemon and they gave a good amount! Very pleased! I will be buying all my ceviche here! Gives Vermillion ceviche a run for their money!

This place is so good!! Their food was the best we had in our entire vacation in SPI. It will be a must stop every trip we make here. Los tacos de pescado was the bomb. My kids loved their kids meals, and Hubby says the cocktail was delicious.
