    My husband introduced me to this delightful restaurant. I fell in love with the snapper diner. The portions are so much that I always have a bit left over, although I promise myself to eat it all, my stomach is stuffed every time.

    The seafood was super fresh, better and fresher than most any other places I've had in Schaumburg. The service was really good, and the place looked and smelled super clean. I really enjoyed the fish tacos, which came with squeeze bottles of sauce and the Vuelve a la vida which is my go to for mariscos and this one is my favorite one in town so far. I wish I had come by sooner and more often. I spent 50 with tip for my 2 items and I feel like the price was really good for what I got both quantity and quality. I highly recommend this place.
