“ What an experience! We brought out fresh caught fish straight from the boat to Spicy Tuna. We asked if they would cook it a few ways. The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. They did not disappoint!! It was all amazing. One of the biggest highlights of our trip. ”
“ What a hidden gem. Stumbled upon this place while looking for dinner options and saw the amazing reviews. Food was exceptionally fresh and prepared perfectly. Also one of the best margaritas of my life. Wife and I had the chef's sashimi with cilantro sauce (fish of the day option was either yellowtail or yellow fin tuna - we got half each) and it was so fresh and delicious. We also had the nigiri sampler which was salmon, octopus, shrimp, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, spicy fresh fish, eel, crab, and masago and all were excellent. Lastly we had the spicy grilled octopus which was a huge portion, super tender and flavorful. Service was wonderful. They accept credit cards FYI. Super easy to get a cab back to the hotel after dinner. ”

“ I had their sashimi with the catch of the day (yellowtail) twice and it was so good. The second time I went, I had to order a second plate. So worth it! Staff were nice and attentive. ”
“ Being from Vancouver we love our Sushi. Getting good sushi in Mexico is hard to find in my opinion. I always read the reviews and check out the pictures. The sushi here is surprisingly good. The California special roll was awesome and the Lucy roll was fantastic. I don’t often see Gyoza on the menu and I have to say the pork Gyoza was surprisingly good with a spicy aftertaste. I recommend trying the sushi here. ”
“ Unbelievably good experience. We brought our fresh catch and the chiefs did an amazing job creating sushi and sashimi dishes. Best sushi experience we have ever had!!!! ”
“ Small place but great food. Seafoods taste fresh. Margaritas were amazing. I'd recommend the ceviche and tonito roll. ”
