It was delish. It also took a long time to get a seat and to get the food b/c one person working there said that they didn’t expect such a huge turnout. They were literally still putting up the signs outside.
Salsa had a very herbaceous note. It paired very well w/ the tacos gobernador (which were a cheesy delight, although I’ve never loved the texture of shrimp in a taco; they had sold out of the marlin).
The shrimp themselves in the borrachos were good, but sauce was crack. SO delicious I was spooning it up to eat it on its own.
Mojarra was fried perfectly. Some might find it overly salty, but I thought the salting was quite good. The lime brightened the flavor up nicely, but it also sogged out the crust.
The ceviches are ENORMOUS. As in, I don’t really understand how a single person could eat all of that themselves.
I went to Coni Seafood so long ago (and ordered diff items) and never went to 106 Underground, so I can’t say the food compares.
The servers were seriously moving as fast as they could, and they were all very apologetic about how long things were taking (which I assume will be the case on the first day of business). Very hospitable.
If yesterday was any indication, this place is going to be super successful.
