    Dumplings

    Food: All entrees were freshly made. The fried shrimp basket was good. The crab fried rice had a little spice to it yet greasy. The calamari basket was tasty. The key to ordering the seafood bags is to make sure you get a seasoning that adds the flavor you seek to enjoy the boil. Service: The staff were friendly and helpful. Ambiance: It gives a sports bar environment with crab restaurant decor.

    Our server was Terry and he was awesome! This was our first time here and with Terry being a great server definitely made this experience so much better. The food is flavorful!

    Hushpuppy appetizer

    While in town for business, my colleague insisted we dine at Crazy Crab. We started with the hushpuppy appetizer which was good but with the dipping sauce made them delicious. We both had the snow crab boil. When my friend's came out, it was clearly not a pound, but the manager was very polite and brought her another cluster. The crab was excellent! It wasn't overcooked so it was easy to eat and the garlic butter was to die for! This was definitely the best crab boil I've ever had and will be returning during my next trip to El Paso!

    Shrimp and chicken basket

    We stopped in on a Thursday for lunch-so looking forward to a great seafood experience. First of all, we should have checked the menu before going. We specifically came to a crab place to get crab cakes. But they do not serve crab cakes here. We ordered hush puppies for an appetizer and they were so overcooked. For entrees we ordered the seafood pasta, crab fried rice and a fried shrimp and chicken basket. The seafood pasta was okay. The octopus were whole and really chewy. The calamari was also very chewy. The fried rice was terrible. The crab they put on top was sooooo over seasoned you couldn't even taste the crab. The whole thing was very salty. The shrimp and chicken basket was okay. The chicken had no flavor at all. The one good thing they served was the cocktail sauce. On top of the food being subpar the service was extremely slow. Also, I noticed people(I'm assuming employees) were wearing regular street clothes waiting on people, serving, and going into the kitchen. No uniform whatsoever. At the end of the meal I visited the ladies room. Having a wheelchair bound person in my family I like to check out the bathroom to see if it is handicap accessible. This place does have a handicap stall but in order to get a wheelchair in the stall you would have to move a large trash can into the other stall to get the wheelchair by. It always makes me angry when restaurants don't think about the logistics of a wheelchair bound person. This restaurant was an overall disappointment.

    Back to Crazy Crab for their delicious seafood boil. This place simply rocks with a kid friendly environment and designated play area, a fun sports bar with great cocktails and of course some great Cajun style spicy butter sauce that will make your mouth begging for more King Crab. The service is super friendly and efficient. There is often a long line so enjoy a drink at the bar and you got this.

    It was a great time to get a valentine's day lunch here. Food came out super fast, and everything was hot!! I wish they had a different tartar sauce. Catfish kinda had no flavor! I would recommend coming back, the food did not disappoint.

    I had almost given up on finding good, fresh seafood in El Paso, especially a great seafood boil, after moving here from Houston, where Viet Cajun boils were my go-to. Thankfully, Crazy Crab at The Fountains changed that! I attended the Annie Adventures Friendsgiving event here, and the experience was amazing. The fried dishes were crispy, the sauces were incredibly flavorful, and the seafood boil was seasoned to perfection. The seasoning really soaked into the seafood, making every bite better than the last. The portions are very generous--we took home leftovers that tasted even better the next day. The restaurant is fantastic for large groups, the staff is super friendly, and there's even a play area for kids. Plus, the drinks are strong and complement the food perfectly. If you're craving seafood in the middle of the desert, I highly recommend Crazy Crab. They've got it all--great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. Find them at 8889 Gateway Blvd W #1530, El Paso, TX 79925! -TODOELPASO

    Definitely wouldn't not recommend this place, I should've known when I walked in and it was empty. I ordered an extra spicy seafood boil with shrimp and muscles and while I got it to go I should've stayed and ate it there. Long story short the sauce was more like a water and I eventually ended up throwing it up. Do not eat here.

    Fried Oyster Basket
    Terry B.

    Maybe it was the busy day that drained me and exhausted from all of the walking at work. We quickly found an agreeable place to eat. We're weren't overly hungry since we had a big lunch so kept this on the lighter side of eating. Obviously if my appetite were different I would have made different selections. I chose the Fried Oyster Basket which came on a bed of fries. Food was brought to our table quickly so needless to say everything was piping hot! Our server was prompt and attentive! It wasn't a busy night at all so took our time and enjoyed the meal. I've never experienced this restaurant before so I may have to look for one on my next trip wherever that may take me!

    I really enjoy seafood. In fact, every time I see food, I eat it! Thank you. I'll be here all week…read more Seriously though, I do enjoy a good seafood restaurant. And I was pleasantly surprised when I found this place in El Paso, Texas. For starters, you sort of have to navigate your way around a second parking lot to get to it, but it is worth the adventure. Walking through the door. Door. They have a very nicely kept greeting station with a bar off to the left. So I made my way to the bar for a drink before dinner After my drink I went and got seated waited for the rest of my party. Looked over the menu and asked for suggestions. The chef's specials are always on point I was told so I opted for the blackened red snapper etouffee. Wow, what an amazing dish! And the presentation was off the hook. The spices were on point. Everything was cooked to perfection and it was just a very good dinner experience. Service was a little slow, I think that they weren't prepared for a party of 20 even though we had a reservation. Had it not been for the very slow service I probably would have given them five stars. But hey it's a improvement point. Bottom line? If you are in El Paso and you are looking for a nice upscale seafood place that has a casual feel, you could definitely check this place out.!

We accidentally found El Barco Marinero after attending an event nearby. My daughter was hungry, so we looked around for somewhere she could get carne asada and decided to give this place a try after seeing the great reviews. I'm so glad we did! It's a huge restaurant and you can tell it's family-owned and run. There were family and kids in the corner doing homework on their computers, which I thought was so sweet. Before we even ordered, they brought us complimentary ceviche with chips AND soup. Both were delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. I ordered the Baja fish tacos and my daughter got the carne asada tacos. The portions were VERY generous, especially for the prices. The fish tacos were fresh, crispy and loaded, but the carne asada really surprised me. It was tender, flavorful and honestly some of the best carne asada I've had. The service was also wonderful. I was already pretty full, so they happily boxed everything up for us to take home. I was genuinely surprised to see the restaurant so quiet on a Sunday because the food, portions, prices and service were all excellent. Definitely one of those tucked-away El Paso restaurants I'm really happy we stumbled across. We'll be back! El Barco Marinero 1212 N Yarbrough Dr Ste 307 El Paso, TX 79925

They are so delicious, it is probably my favorite part! As an appetizer we always get the elote botanero, they are always a hit! We've tried a lot of items from the menu such as the arrachera, the chile relleno, costillas Palenque, Pollo Chipotle. Literally EVERYTHING has been so amazing. The service is always great, from the hostess to our servers and even the managers who always seem to be out on the floor making sure everything runs smoothly. I love the atmosphere. It feels so elegant, as if you are in a very high-end restaurant. However, the prices are very accessible. We've gone on several occasions like Valentines week, Mother's Day Week, and they always have amazing decorations, perfect for pictures! Palenque will always be a restaurant I recommend!
