I ordered the octopus and it was delicious! We had a good time here, sitting outside until the sun was gone, then sitting upstairs while the kids swam in the pool and we ate.

Well the name was "Alejo" probably it recently change. Great "pescado a la talla"

Friendly wait staff. Loved the filet de pescado italia's flavors! Slow service.
