This friendly offshoot of La Serenata de Garibaldi serves the same terrific fresh mahi mahi tacos, gorditas bursting with shrimp and quesadillas stuffed with mushrooms, poblano peppers and cheese. Fresh tortillas are wrapped around shredded beef with a dash of salsa, or are served as a side to any of the stellar Mexican seafood dishes.

You can eat for cheap here, but for $19.95 you can get juicy giant Mexican shrimp with luscious mojo de ajo sauce -- one of the best shrimp dishes in town. Breakfast is served on weekends with south of the border choices as well as Belgian waffles. They don't take reservations but, everyone waits -- it's worth it.

Hours: Daily, 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and 5-10 p.m.
