Senor Mojitos Shrimp Co
I went by on Sunday which was only their second night open. Service at bar was good and all of the management seemed eager to ensure everyone was happy. While waiting for dinner to arrive, I walked out back to take a look around by the bay and a gentleman named Shane walked up and introduced himself and asked me what I thought. I told him it looked great and mentioned that I love Tex-Mex having lived in Texas for many years so I was happy to see the place open. Shane told me that he made great fajitas! At that point, I had already ordered the shrimp tacos so I will try the fajitas next time.
The salsa was the "fresh" type with chunky tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions. I thought it was delicious, but be warned--it was very spicy! The other guests with me commented that the salsa was thin. I agree, but I loved the fresh taste! Maybe they should blend some of the tomatoes to make it a bit thicker rather than leave all of the tomatoes in chunks? But really, the flavor was great ? you just have to scoop up the goodies with your chips!
The chips were good -- the thicker multi-colored kind (not the thin fresh fried restaurant kind), but I happen to like the thicker variety (more corn flavor) and they were warm when they arrived.
As I tend to do?..I ate so much of the salsa and chips that I could eat only one of my three tacos--they were good though. The shrimp were grilled and served in flour tortillas with either mango or pineapple (sorry ? after the margarita I was not very discerning
), shredded cabbage and fresh tomatoes. I ate the shrimp and fruit out of the remaining two tacos. The portions are good. My honey ordered the Ahi Tuna and really enjoyed it. I tasted it -- very good --a different flavor than the norm -- more seasoned and spicy. The tuna was served on a large bed of greens. They asked him if he wanted the appetizer portion and he said yes, but it seemed like a lot of food for an appetizer.
The margaritas were your typical Margaritas in these parts ? made with a bottled mix of some type rather than fresh juice ? but beware, mine had plenty of alcohol! (I really wish more restaurants in this area would offer margarita?s made with fresh juices rather than mixes. I know I would pay a premium for a fresh juice margarita that I liked!)
I do not recall the full menu, but some other items I noticed were nachos, raw oysters, and fish tacos. Missing were enchiladas, tamales, etc. So I guess they are not typical Tex-Mex, but a mixture of Tex-Mex and Caribbean?
One of the employees mentioned that they would be adding more menu items in the future. He said that they would be getting a wood oven (he may have meant smoker) and that they planned to add ribs and pulled pork to the menu. I must say -- I like that they have a grill and grill the shrimp for the tacos.
So that is my review of Senor Mojitos Shrimp Company! I would go back and try the fajitas for sure!

I'm headed there tonight with the other half ~ can't wait!!
...looks like a party! I have a surprise guest coming!
Menu's were passed out in Seaside during the wine event. A variety if food, but, on the beverage section, no beer listed. Supposed to be a family style place. $$ don't look bad. Hope they have adult beverages.
No fair, at least give us a hint.
I saw the Budlight Truck in the parking lot today so that's a good sign!!
