All of our dishes are prepared “A La Cocina Fresca”- “in the fresh kitchen method” a Spanish phrase that means exactly what it implies… freshly made sauces, handmade corn tortillas and fresh local seafood and produce prepared daily.

In addition to creating a menu with many exciting choices, we’re committed to offering our customers healthy dishes with absolutely no use of any lard or animal fat in their preparation.

We use rice-bran oil specifically for frying.  Contains no trans fat!
