   I have only dined here once, but after all the fawning and hype, that one trip was nothing but a disappointment--mediocre at best--very average Mex fare with a common and uninspired menu of popular gringo standards found in every suburban American Mex place. Seafood would be a welcome addition, particularly as the restaurant's namesake is a seaside resort. Service was friendly and attentive enough, but the place was a disgusting mess, the floor definitely had not been cleaned between seatings as there were glaringly obvious bits of food and rice under the tables and around the bus station. I found the refried beans to be WAY too heavy on the salt, and there was an incredibly think layer of shredded cheese over everything on my plate, obscuring and overpowering what may very well have been tasty food underneath. I love and appreciate Mexican food, have spent time in Mexico and have lived in the Sonoran Mex food haven of Tucson, and I honestly found this place to be a huge disappointment...
   I also find it interesting that the majority of hyperbole-filled reviews here are from folks that have not rated any other restaurants...so take all the hype with a large grain of salt...

   Best Mexican in the East Bay?!?
   bwaahahahahahahah! you gotta be kidding me!
   food here is straight-up bad and the place is depressing
   I might even venture in calling it a first-class dive
   man, some of you folks out on the island clearly have questionable taste if you reckon this is quality Mexican food, sad really...

   One of the best mexican restaurants that I have eaten at. This place has been around since my grandmother went there when it first opened and it's run by family members. The waitresses are wonderful, there is always free chips and salsa, free refills on drinks and your get your food so fast it's amazing. I highly reccommend it!
