Heres the truth- I'd rather go to Baja Fresh or Chipotle. First off, its fine that the burritos are oversized (I know people like the wow factor of that) but they put almost no meat or veggies in them. Its just a bunch of rice and beans. Its all a runny mess and the rice and beans are "ok" but not worth paying $6 for a huge plate of them, inside a thin flour tortilla. Don't even bother ordering a side of rice and beans, talk about overkill. Also I ordered my burrito spicy. Now I loooooove spicy food but they cut up so many jalapenos in the burrito that half of its coloration was from the green peppers! So on top of bland rice and beans I was tearing and had a burning puffy sensation in my face. I did like the salsa bar but where was the traditional pico de galo? Oh and the music they played... it sounded like polka. Maybe it was Mexican but I wasn't a big fan.
Ok I sounded like I hated it and it wasn't that bad. I mean I ate the whole thing (yes I'm a pig) as did my husband. But do yourself a favor and forgo the Gordito experience. Its not worth the bus trip over.

Our server was great. Very attentive w/o hovering over the table. He did forget to tell us the specials but oh well. No biggie.
The food was both creative and tasty. We went when the theme was Costa Rica and they did a great job with the ceviche. Looking forward to going back to try a new international theme. Its cool that they keep the menu dynamic. The fish on the regular menu is really good! Tastes fresh and lightly seasoned. The only thing that was disappointing was the dessert. We got a rum orange pound cake with icecream. Now I love rum (who doesn't?) but they poured way too much on it because it covered all the other flavors. The food wasn't cheap but it wasn't outrageous.
All in all, I definitely would recommend this cute restaurant for anyone who either really likes seafood or likes to try new things on a menu.

I heard it was good Mexican food so my husband and I walked down (we live by the campus) on a Monday evening to check it out. Though crowded we were seated right away close to the water. Beautiful.
The server was horrible. Trying to charge us for every little thing. Definitely bad service. You can tell she just did not care. I'm hoping its just a flux and service can be good? Yet to be seen...
Unfortunately they can get away bad service because the food is soooooooooooo good. Very fresh and light but extremely tasty. We got the famous spicy catfish tacos and devoured it. The ceviche is delicious as well! (Note they charge you extra for the chips to eat it with!)
Anyway we will be back, probably many times. Probably not a good idea to go on the weekends because of crowds and be wary of the cost. But the ambiance and food makes up for all that!!!
I will have to rent a kayak soon. :)
