"Don't expect a lot but it is a very cool place. The oysters were absolutely delicious fresh from the sea. The guacamole was some of the best I have tasted. Cooked Oysters rocked also.
Didn't know you can bring tour own beverages."

"If you are a down to earth person this is a place for you. Its nothing fancy but I wish we could have stayed longer, there is shade, tables and benches so you can enjoy your FRESH oysters.... they litterly pull out the oyster trap when you order.
They take dollars and pesos and the guy there was so nice he opened some for us to eat there and even taught us how to shuck them ourselves.
My 7yr old loved all the little crabs there but definitely not a place to get wet in."
Teresa Espinoza
"Nice place to get fresh oyster! We went during winter because the oyster is bigger in the winter also not a lot of people. It’s low tide so no water on our feet while eating."
