If you can’t get into Cha Cha Cha next door, this is a good alternative. Actually, I would come here even if I could get into Cha Cha Cha. I like the grilled shrimp, but it’s messy since it’s served in the shell. Still, it was a great deal. I got heaps of shrimp for just $14. I thought it would never end.
