    10. Ceviche La Mamona
    Aquarius P.

    Came across AguaChiles while scrolling TikTok and saw they were promoting their Pork Belly AguaChiles -- and I'm really glad we decided to check it out. We've been wanting to try something different from the usual, and this place absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and treated with genuine kindness. Our waitress was polite, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire visit. To drink, we ordered a large hibiscus tea served in a mason jar. You can immediately tell it's made in-house -- incredibly fresh, with a subtle hint of lime. Easily one of the best hibiscus teas I've had, and far better than the powdered versions many places use. I wouldn't even hesitate to pay for refills. We also started with a Modelo (canned), crudo shrimp (2 pieces), Japanese peanuts, chamoy, and a sauce at the bottom of the plate that was unbelievably good -- likely one of their ceviche sauces. Whatever it was, it was packed with flavor. For entrees, my spouse ordered the Pork Belly AguaChile, and it was phenomenal. The pork belly was crispy, tender, and moist all at once, loaded with flavor. It came with a generous portion of very fresh guacamole, topped with julienned red onions and serrano peppers, plus four corn tortillas and a fresh salsa verde with the perfect amount of heat. My spouse isn't big on tortillas, so I happily made a few tacos myself -- no regrets. I ordered the Ceviche La Mamona, which included tender octopus, melt-in-your-mouth ahi tuna, perfectly cooked shrimp, avocado, onion, cucumber, tomato, and a black sauce that tied everything together beautifully. This was, without question, the best ceviche I've ever had. I've never been to Mexico, but this is exactly how I imagine it should taste -- incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. They also serve it with crackers, tostadas, and two creamy salsas: one habanero and one jalapeño/serrano. Honestly, the ceviche alone could have been a full meal. If you're looking for generous portions, outstanding freshness, excellent service, and a truly memorable seafood experience, AguaChiles is the place. Next time, I'm coming back for the whole octopus, super tostada mixta, oyster preparado, queso flameado, fried oysters, and possibly a molcajete. I love food, and every meal here felt like an adventure.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Annalisa M.

    Loved it here!! Finally got to come try it and the Shrimp Ceviche was really good, so fresh and the Fried Fish and Shrimp was perfectly fried, huge shrimp and decent tartar sauce. So surprised with the Torta, it was delicious!! Loved the sweet tea in big mason jars too! It was nice inside, some live music too. Service was great, very friendly and quick service. We'll definitely be back!!

    4. Ceviche Verde
    Courtney B.

    Mi pareja, Thing One, y yo finalmente llegamos ayer a este lugar tan esperado, un lugar que despertó nuestra curiosidad solo por su nombre intrigante. Tras pasar un tiempo considerable en México, he aprendido a apreciar la riqueza de matices del ceviche. En sus versiones más comunes, a menudo se encuentra el ceviche de pescado, un refrescante plato a base de tierno pescado marinado en limón, o el ceviche de camarón, con jugosos camarones. Sin embargo, para quienes buscan un sabor más intenso y un toque picante, existe el aguachile. Esta versión más picante realza la esencia picante de los chiles y la brillante ralladura del jugo de limón, a menudo con ingredientes como pepino y cebolla morada para complementar el picante. Al llegar, nos recibieron enseguida y nos indicaron que podíamos sentarnos donde quisiéramos. Elegimos un reservado en la esquina y nos tomaron el pedido a los cinco minutos de sentarnos a la mesa. El degustador Este degustador ofrece un delicioso viaje por el mar, con ceviche, taco de camarones, Laguachile Verde y Caldo de Mariscos. Más allá de su generosa porción, este platillo brindó una inmensa explosión de sabor. El Aguachile Verde, en particular, destacó por su vibrante y refrescante perfil, una mezcla magistral de notas picantes, ácidas y sutilmente cremosas. Este platillo está elaborado con camarones crudos, delicadamente marinados en una salsa a base de lima, impregnada con el toque vibrante de los chiles verdes, la frescura aromática del cilantro y la frescura refrescante del pepino y el cremoso aguacate. Cada bocado del Aguachile Verde fue una armoniosa explosión de sabor. Complementando esto, el Caldo de Mariscos presentó una combinación de mariscos verdaderamente excepcional. Este caldo rico y aromático estaba repleto de cangrejo, pulpo tierno, vieiras dulces, delicado abulón, calamares, camarones, pescado en hojuelas y la sutil dulzura de las zanahorias. El perfil de sabor de este plato fue absolutamente perfecto. Huachinango Lo que realmente lo distinguió fue su sabor inherente; poseía un sabor tan rico y natural que apenas necesitaba condimentos para realzar su exquisitez. Este pescado, cocinado a la perfección, se complementó con un trío de guarniciones clásicas, creando una comida completa y satisfactoria. Las papas fritas doradas ofrecieron un delicioso contraste de texturas, mientras que el arroz mexicano brindó un acompañamiento reconfortante y sabroso. Una ensalada fresca y crujiente añadió un toque refrescante para equilibrar la riqueza de los demás ingredientes. Sin embargo, el pescado en sí mismo fue la verdadera estrella del plato. Su extraordinario sabor, junto con una crujiente textura exterior y una textura muy saciante, lo hicieron fácilmente un plato completo y gratificante por sí solo. La cantidad y el calibre de la comida, además del excelente servicio, hacen que este lugar merezca la pena visitarlo. El precio total de los tres platos (huachinango, degustación, bistec con papas fritas y tres tés de sudor) fue de $93.00. #supportlocal

    I can't get enough of this place. The food here is so good specially if you are getting aguachile or if you like seafood. The ambiance iis loud but if you like live music this is your place to be. I am trying out different plates every time I go. I recommend the aguachiles, octopus, oysters, and the chiccarron fish. But so far everyone I tasted had been good.

    Shrimp tacos so bomb!

    The ambiance was super chill, we went during lunch and there wasn't much ppl so the waitress was on it, the shrimp tacos I got were fresh & great, I'm still thinking about them.. the service was great. Our waitress was super sweet and on top of everything. I will definitely be back, can't wait to try other items on the menu.

    Wow this place is a hidden paradise. Seafood made different ways especially with lime juice. The plates are large enough to share and the atmosphere will help bring joy to your food at another level. You've gotta try this place out!

    Loved the friendly atmosphere and happy staff.

    Tacos and Ceviche were amazing. Fresh food. Come hungry, the staff feed you like family. Best place to feed your seafood craving!

    Food was great. This was our 2nd time eating here. I enjoyed the plancha fish tacos. My husband enjoyed the carne asada torta.

    Botona Suprema
    Ruth H.

    My husband saw this place on FB so we had to try it. What can I say but WOW WOW WOW! The first thing I noticed was how clean it was from floor to tables. The staff greeted us and it wasn't long before someone came by with a basket of fried corn tortillas and crackers . Our server was amazing, friendly, recommending a few item. We went with the Botona Suprema.....it had everything we want to eat and taste. The octopus was grilled to perfection. Everything was so fresh. Picture below.

    Mini Tacos Pulpo
    Steven R.

    Excellent mariscos. I loved the aquachiles verdes. The mini tacos pulpos were excellent and the fillete de ajo mojo was great. We'll be back to sample more of their extensive menu. Service was fast and friendly. Nice, clean and bright spot to enjoy seafood on the West side.

    Nelly L.

    Greeted us and sat us down right away. Soon after no one bothered to come check on us, not for drinks or offer a menu for a good 10 minutes possibly longer. Mind you two parties of 4 sat in front of us and on the side of us who got seated after us and were attended to right away. So much so that their appetizers and drinks came out and we were still waiting on a menu and take our drink order. Finally a waiter came out and he made up for the experience. He was super quick, nice and apologetic, he knew it was wrong because before we could say anything he proceeded to apologize. The rice was bland, the tostadas were stale. However the aguachiles was terrific. Extremely good and flavorful, they were about a jalapeño away from being inedible but we love spicy food. Red and green sauce were also very good.

The texture of fish is crunchy on the outside with a flaky, meaty texture on the inside . The wings are fried in a way that's just right. They are crunchy and the sauce adheres so well without making them soggy. The green beans, red beans, and wedges are great options for sides to accompany the fish and wings. It was my first time ordering from a place with this type of setup. It was so cool! I scanned my order on an iPad and open pops a locker door with my food.

    My sweet potato of a boy has somehow decided that cheese tortellini is the epitome of fine dining,…read moreand in the interest of not having to cook too often, we've been on a quest to find the best tortellini in town. I thought the "soup of the day: cheese tortellini" sign...was a joke like "soup of the day: beer". No, that's really the soup option. Anyway, this one was close to his school, had a tortellini entree, and looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a whirl. We've gotten the last walk-in table twice now, at 5:45 pm. Which really gives me the warm fuzzies. It's a tiny space that seats maybe 20 folks; it's proud, not upscale, but not run down and reasonably busy. It's slightly claustrophobic, but in a way that implies they're prioritizing space for tables. It's the kind of place where you can just feel that the food is gonna be good. The kid got the cheese tortellini on both visits and will do so on every visit in the future for all of eternity. He decided he's not a fan of tortellini in soup form, so I get his soup. He rates the entree somewhere above HEB imported refrigerated variety and somewhere below his most beloved Pesto Restaurante, but I think if we tweak the sauce, we will get it dialed in ok. I've gotten Veal Francese both times, because I'm a monster, and when I see veal on a menu, I can't help myself. It was paired with a salad, and (my kid's) soup, and the entree was served with pasta al dente. Super filling and priced quite reasonably. It was delicious - I loved everything about it.

When we clarified that the cash was for the bill, she seemed frustrated and said she didn't know how to fix it. Another server eventually had to step in. After we left we noticed we were billed incorrectly....... The food was great, but based on our experience, I'd recommend being prepared to pay the check all together. Splitting the bill seemed to be a major issue for our server.

Birthdays, random cravings, "we survived the week" dinners & you name it, we've probably celebrated it here.

And yes, that is exactly what you should do here because the boils never miss. The seafood is always fresh, the sauces are flavorful, and the spice levels are not playing around. My recommendation? Stick with level 2 unless you enjoy sweating through your meal and reevaluating your life choices. My go-to combo is mussels, shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, boiled egg, and veggies. And before anybody gets suspicious about the veggies in a seafood boil, hear me out, they absolutely belong there. They soak up all that buttery, spicy sauce and add something extra to the whole experience. Don't skip them. Also, get the flights. They're fun, they're good, and they make an already good time even better. Smashin Crab is one of those places we keep coming back to because it's reliable in the best way: good seafood, great flavor, and the kind of meal that feels like an event every time.

Service has always been friendly and accommodating to our preferences, and the menu is surprisingly robust with New Orleans-inspired Cajun and seafood flavors alongside steaks, pasta, duck, lamb and Southern comfort dishes. Our repeat fave is the fried calamari -- crispy, savory and brightened up with jalapeños, chile flakes, sauce and grilled lemon. The beau keeps raving about the Diablo pasta.
