Excellent food, service was okay, I understand it was very busy, but I gave this place 5 stars.

Service was exceptional. Always appreciate when you're greeted with a warm smile and positive attitude. We were seated right away and our servers did a great job, especially Samantha. The seafood was fresh, the guacamole was exceptional, and the drinks were delicious. If you drink alcohol, make sure to try De La Rosa. They prepare it super well (Mazapan based). I ordered Mar y Mar, which was white fish, shrimp, and a couple of sides. I believe the server said the white fish was sea bass. You have your choice of how the shrimp comes out, so I asked for estilo Costa Azul (bacon wrapped). Delicious! I was not expecting to have the potato salad steal the show, but it did. Sooooo good! I highly recommend this place. They also had a very large group in the restaurant, so it seems to be a great place for that too.

Don't waste your money and go somewhere else Horrible service I order shrimp and oyster cocktail, the cocktail came with out any oysters. I told the waitress that my cocktail didn't have any oysters and she gave me an attitude immediately and brought me one oyster in a plate without th shell and gave it to me very disrespectfully throwing on the table. I told her again that I did not eat any oysters and one oyster is not enough if I'm paying for a cocktail with shrimp and oysters. She said that she was not gonna put up with me she threw the bill before finishing my food when I didn't ask for the bill I paid and left without finishing my food. I have never been disrespect like this in my life and will never go back. Do not go here if you want good service !!!!!

It was a busy night. They said it was a 20-25 minute wait, but it was only 10 minutes. I feared they would forget our party of 5 because there were a few large parties going on. We sat and sat. Server finally came and said she was taking care of a party of 30! I said then we are ready to order drinks and food so you don't forget about us. She said she wouldn't forget about us. And she didn't! Food and drinks came out fast and she checked on us often enough to make me happy. The drinks and food were delicious as always. My mother loved the chips and salsa and wanted more. We were surprised by the extra charge but it was worth it. I love the one in Ontario but now the one in West Covina is high on my list.
