Everything was awesome! Hogfish meal, sea boppers, and hush puppies were our top three. Would highly recommend the hogfish plate to anyone. Crispy coating yet fish stayed flakey moist. Unbelievably tasty.

The cowboy burger was outstanding! I loved the onion rings and crisp bacon on it. The fries were also served hot and fresh. Please come back to Talavera. Hopefully it won’t be raining!
