Crab legs in Boaz! Plus amazing lobster and shrimp! The ceviche tacos (cold shrimp salad) were delicious. Their version of a low country boil with shrimp and lobster seasoned with Mexican spices and served with Mexican fried rice, corn, sausage, and boiled egg was perfection. Crab legs were perfectly cooked and reasonably priced. They also have a variety of menu items from quesadillas to cheeseburgers. The guacamole and chips was so yummy! The owner is so nice and took the time to make sure that my white family understood what all the menu items are plus recommended popular dishes. This is the restaurant that everybody needs to try! Come support this local business and eat what is, in my opinion, the best food in the Boaz area!

Amazing food that you have not likely had before. Mexican/Cajun Seafood with a mix of other things as well. They offer so many different things on their menu. My favorite is the Gamba Ramen. It is very spicy ramen with crab legs, crawfish, shrimp, potatoes, corn, and noodles. It's an explosion of flavors in your mouth! Their guacamole is fantastic and full of flavor. I highly recommend this place. Inside seating is small and limited, but their is plenty of outdoor seating.

Great food. Menu was a little hard to pick options out. Mostly seafood as name implies. A little pricey even though only had water for drinks
