Okay, so here are the positives: 1) It seems to be a family-owned business with a lot of heart. 2) The water view from the restaurant is great. 3) Many locals were at the restaurant, so it had an authentic feel to it.

The negative that I can't get over: 1) They don't clean their shrimp. They are fried as is and they are not deveined. The intestines are left in the shrimp. I asked for a knife to devein them myself, but a worker told me that you are supposed to use the shrimp heads as a broom to devein them after ripping them apart down their backs with your fingernails. That wasn't a great method so I ended up scraping out their intestines using my fingernails and then wiping their intestines on my napkin. People from other tables approached me after the employee explained to me how to clean the shrimp for instructions on how to do it. If they are going to sell shrimp, they should clean them before serving them OR tell people who order that they come uncleaned.

It was a gross and unappetizing experience overall. Also, once we cleaned the shrimp ourselves, they didn't have much flavor. I felt especially bad for the mom who approached us who had to try to clean her hungry kids' shrimp in addition to her own--it takes a long time to devein one shrimp using shrimp heads and your fingernails.

I appreciate it for what it was, but I would not come back.

I had my favorite meal of Aruba at this place. The place is a vibe. The service was excellent, casual ambiance and FRESH, TASTY inexpensive seafood. Everything is fried but not breaded. Tasted so good w their seasoning. The French fries were bomb, cornbread so soft and chewy, the tartar sauce and pickled onions were so yummy. It went down great w some cold Chills. We also bought a couple t-shirts bc they’re really cute.

This was by far my favorite meal of the week. Gorgeous setting on the water, food came quickly, and it was deliciously freshly caught peel-and-eat shrimp and fish. Extremely flavorful seasoning. Best tartar sauce I've ever had. Great fries too! We even had some of the homemade popsicles, and those were amazing too (I had the peanut flavor - WOW). A little bit off the beaten path, but well worth it.

Great seaside atmosphere. Food cooked to order was excellent. Had the shrimp and 1# is more than enough for two people. Fresh fish prepared onsite. Price very reasonable.

We had heard about this place from a lot of local people as the place to go for fresh seafood. The wait was the only complaint but after we got our food I understood why. It was by far the best seafood I have had in a longtime and the price was amazing for what I received. I had Mahi Mahi and shrimp with fries it was so good. The only thing we didn’t like was the cornbread. It was not like anything we had ever had in Texas. A must for your Aruba trip.
