food is still great, I enjoy the service and the atmosphere. Prices are a little higher than I would expect but i guess that's the norm now.

I don't live in the area anymore and I forget how good it is until I make a return visit! I've never been disappointed here and the snapper special is really something. Shrimp cocktail is tasty too.

Tampico is one of our favorites and is now open again after remodeling. The service was superb and the snapper was fantastic. The food was just like it was before and the service people were so much fun. Going back again soon.

Our family had been telling us about this place for a very long time, and how amazing it was, and we were so excited that it was opened when we were in town! The picture does not do it justice with how amazing this place was we got the red snapper and had shrimp as well and they do a really good job of giving you the correct amount of food for the amount of people that are at the table and they did a wonderful job! We got a side of the fried rice, and it was the perfect addition to the fish and shrimp. The onions that were underneath the fish were probably the best onions that I have ever had in my entire life and when added to the fried rice it was just delicious. The shrimp was also super flavored and just amazing. Highly recommend this place. If you're a fan of seafood, the fish was fresh and the shrimp were delicious overall 10 out of 10 highly recommended.!

Came here on a Sunday at around noon and found the place nearly empty. To start off we ordered the vuelve a la vida which was a combination of ceviche, oysters, shrimp and octopus with cocktail sauce. It was sooooo good we ended up getting 2. We also ordered a dozen oysters and we were pretty disappointed by them. They did not taste fresh at all. My friend got grilled fish diabla style with rice and he rated it an 8/10. "Perfect amount of spice" he said. We each had some margaritas and we loved them! The place has a really old time Hispanic homey feel to it which made us feel right at home. They played nothing but old salsa and merengue songs while we were there which we loved! I will most likely come back and try other things, but I won't be getting the oysters again.

Came here for a late lunch/early dinner. Hole in the wall but the food was delicious! It was a busy Sunday afternoon. We had a 15min wait for 2 people (were told up to 25min). Service was a little slow. Covid protocols: They do limit amount of guests dining and enforce social distancing. Staff wears masks. We ordered the mixed ceviche which was delicious! Wish the portion was a little bigger but good app for 2. We asked for chips but didn't get it. The best item we enjoyed on the menu was the grilled red snapper with shrimp! It IS a wait! Totally worth it! Flavor profile was on point! Would def come back for this dish! Overall the food was delicious which gave it a 4. Again service was slow (which I feel like was just an off day) and didn't feel super clean. The bartender wears his masks below his nose which doesn't make sense. Would def come back! Perf mom/pop whole in wall:)
