Food Scene
I usually get the tacos al pastor or tacos arrancheros, but all of their food is really good though. It's inexpensive, casual, and authentically Mexican. Favored by locals and also tourists.

My favorite restaurant on the water. The softshell crab tacos are to die for, and I also like the lobster tail, too. Only open for lunch, not dinner. Not the cheapest, but worth it.
