A sign went up in the past few days announcing that the establishment, which has a well-loved (based on 70+ Google reviews and a star rating of 4.7) location, a hidden gem some reviewers remarked, at Bernal and Abilene in West Dallas.

Crab leg and boiled shrimp platters, ceviche, tacos, crawfish, micheladas and cerveza  — it’s a mouthwatering menu.

Similar fare nearby includes Tacos La Paisanita across the street and Taqueria El Si Hay a few blocks away for tacos. And Sunset Crab for seafood platters. But here, diners will have access to all of it in one spot, plus a full bar (says the alcohol license in the window).

The business’ Instagram indicates a fall 2022 opening.

I called and I sent a Facebook message and will update the post when we know more about their timeline to open.
