House Specialties

Every dish is made with care, rooted in the traditions of Nayarit's coastal kitchens. These are the plates our regulars can't live without.

🐟

Pescado Sarandeado

Our flagship whole grilled fish — huachinango, robalo, or pargo — slow-cooked over open flame until the skin is perfectly charred and the flesh is tender. Worth every minute of the wait.

🦪

Raw Oysters

Fresh oysters served on the half shell or in a cocktail glass. Briny, cold, and bursting with the taste of the sea. A Nayarit staple done exactly right.

🍋

Aguachile Original

A Nayarit original — raw shrimp cured in lime and chili, delivering bold heat and refreshing citrus in every spoonful. Not for the timid, absolutely for the adventurous.

🥗

Tostadas & Ceviches

Crispy tostadas loaded with shrimp, octopus, crab, and fish ceviche — or build your own from our ceviche menu. Fresh, vibrant, and priced to share.
