Best Latin seafood near the airport. The whole fried snapper was crispy and the garlic shrimp was loaded with flavor. Huge portions and great prices.

What people are saying
★★★★★
The ceviche peruano is the real deal — fresh, tangy, perfectly balanced. Service was fast and the staff were warm. Will definitely be back.

Came here before a flight and ended up taking food home from the market too. Paella for two easily fed three of us. A Miami classic.
