"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."

"Until today, I had no idea this spot existed. It’s been right under our noses for the last two years….I asked them how long they’d been in business. They started off doing just take-out back in 2020, but they now also have indoor seating and just recently added a patio that has several more tables. The food was all made fresh as we ordered. I had the Fish Fillete with Mexican Fried Rice. It was delicious and I the portion was generous. My wife had the bacon wrapped shrimp with Mexican Fried Rice. It tried one of her shrimp—fantastic! We topped off our dinner with an order of fried Oreos. They have a pretty large menu and there were several things we wanted to try. Next time I want to try the ceviche and the crab legs. I think we may have found our new spot for seafood on Sand Mountain."

"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!"
