First time here last night and everything was great!! From the table ceviche offered as your appetizer and the raw oysters. We ordered a dozen with limes. We went with the langostino plate and camarones a la diabla. Both dishes served with rice, salad AND fries. Most places only serve you salad and rice. I'm not a fan of seafood because of certain spots having a strong, seafood taste but everything was very fresh! 10/10. It is BYOB and cash only (for now). I also got dessert to finish - churros, ice cream and one slice of cheesecake. Overall great food, service and the ambiance is casual! Music is played as well or certain karaoke nights. Our tab was only $90! This will be our new seafood spot. Definitely worth the try. * under new management * read more

I am happy that I finally tried them out. Another seafood restaurant, so I thought. I was pleasantly surprised that it opened. For the most part it is definitely estilo (the style of) Nayarit Mexico. The spices are just right when it comes to taste of seafood and you can taste the freshness of the soups for sure. I wasn't sure at first because they recently opened, I was thinking they would skim on flavor. I was wrong. The taste of Nayarit always is a bit different from other regions in Mexico and I am not the biggest fan of "other" Nayarit seafood spots in the area because they have downgraded. So to say this spot open up with such happy workers and enthusiasm is quite good. I did see that the sign said BYOB, so I did bring a few beers. Good thing I did as this is what seafood needs. And I am happy to say that they go all out to make sure your experience is a good one. The manager came to our table and greeted us and let us know his experience in the food business as well as what he expects from his workers. Which by the way, he went out of his way to make sure they were accommodating. The service here is awesome and the whole experience makes me want to come back. Parking isn't the best since it is right on Archer avenue but for the most part it was okay. I also liked their way of greeting, as if you are family. Hopefully they continue this practice and continue to be a not so bad spot. You feel a yankering for seafood soup, this is the place for sure. read more

Excelente ambiente, muy buena atención y la comida riquísima, excelente para pasar una buena velada

Service is declining somewhat, food is still good. But all of sudden now they don't accept credit cards. "HOW SHOCKING" small businesses and the cash only approach when its convenient for them. read more

Craving some ceviche so I called it in. They had order on time and ready. I gave 4 stars because the full menu (I would of order more) wasn't online and it was cash only. Luckily/Convenient they have their own Atm inside. I hadn't been to eat there in over 18 months but ceviche mixto was fresh and so good! read more

I rate this place 1out of 10 this place is not good.service is bad waste of 150 they only acept cash. and they charge their own tip for 25 dollars read more

This place is outrageously tasteful. I ordered a filete relleno which had a cream sauce with jaiba, octopus, and muscles. Pure deliciousness. Unlike the reviews below me, the service provided to me and my husband was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this place. The decor really gives it a good vibe because it goes with their name. No theme in particular, all random which is brilliant. read more

This place deserves a 0 start. It was horrible, food had no flavor. I'm really disappointed. They overpriced, greasy food, poor customer service. Never again don't wasted your time out money on this place. read more

Worse service and disgusting food. Food tasted reheated and possible days old. I paid $85 for 2 ppl only to leave it all there. The manager was sitting nearby and heard my table discussing the terrible service and how bad the food was and didnt bother to come talk to us. There so many good sea food restaurants around, no need to give this place your money. Trust me don't go here, not worth it! read more

Food was ok, they took a lil while we called ahead of time also. Also I think they charged us the containers for the food we got on a take out order. Attached a picture of the receipt read more

El Basurero - Not sure but I think they charged us the container for the take out food ‍ - Seafood Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Terrible. I saw good reviews before coming here so I gave it a try. I went on a Monday afternoon. My bf ordered 7 mares ( they literally brought it out on the pot, the seafood amount was a joke) I got a fish( mojarra) and boy it was soooo dry. (Honestly I think they had food leftover from the previous day. My fish was not fresh. I felt Like they just heated it up and gave it To me. Never going back. Don't waste your money. There's better seafood places out there. This is not it. El 7 mares, puro caldo nada de marisco. Literalmente contado. La mojarra, seca. Fui un lunes atardecer. Para mi que la comida era del día anterior. Solo me Calentaron y así me la dieron. Esa mojarra estaba demasiado seca. Muy mal. Vayan otro lado read more

I really enjoyed coming here when it first opened but since they got a new hire it's been going downhill sadly. I was a loyal weekly costumer but today coming in I ordered the pasta basurero with just camarón and squid nothing extra. The waitress handed me the food, with everything it came with. I tried to tell her it wasn't the para I ordered but instead the pasta de cream. She then said she won't be able to do anything since she printed the ticket out and the most she can do is just give me the dry seasoning to mix my pasta after telling her it was the wrong dish with the wrong ingredients. Then tried telling me she was a new hire so that's why it was wrong. It honestly killed the mood if I'm being honest and just didn't touch it and left it there and had to pay for it still since she was new and she printed the ticket out and it was too late for me to do anything. Disappointed with the new hires honestly it was better when they had the first waitresses. read more

Service was not the best the waitress was horrible. another waitress had to step in to help out. we were three and did not order anything crazy. read more

The worst place I paid 30 dollars for some cucarachas they only gave me 24 shrimp really islas Maria's or anywhere else gives you more than 40 for the same price they really rob you read more

Food is delicious & service was excellent! Our waiter, Ricardo was very attentive & on point with everything! Highly recommended!!

The Worst place to Go!!! Bad service!! Not Recommended at All. Now I know why people leave without paying! No star at all

This definitely was not worth the investment. Camarones cucarachas had no flavor to them what so ever. Compared to other places that are not that far and charge way less I would have say I was honestly very disappointed. Thumbs down! Did I mention they charge way too much! read more

The food is okay, the price is outrageous!! My first Time here, will be my last. Our bill was literally $500. For 4 items. Ostiones, agua chiles, cheese sticks & a guachinango tray (which they charged $300 for) ridiculous. Never going bk. read more

You have like 150 people right there when your limit is probably about 50. You can't even walk in there to pick up food for carry out.
