Do not order anything else but shrimp or real protein.

I was confused when ordering online because I felt as I might over order since everything they sell is by the pound. When we walked in there was only one other table that was finishing up. the staff were welcoming and nice , we were helped with right away too. The food was amazing I literally have been telling everyone about this place now and tell them to forget Bag O Crab this place is better and for the price too it's worth it specially if you like sea food boil this place is amazing and I made the mistake of putting light cajon seasoning because it was sooo good and perfect spice too.

I am glad I didn't order the crab because I would have been pretty disappointed to pay for something inedible. Not to exaggerate but the Cajun shrimp I ordered looked like it was in motor oil with bottom of the barrel sediment. Inches of it literally burnt spices or something. The bag color was like brown black. Not to mention that the shrimps were overcooked and some were chalky. Super hard to take the shells off of how overcooked they were. We chose to give this place a try since online it stated it was better than bag of crab. But man were we mistaken. Go to bag of crab instead.

First of all... they do NOT play with the . Lemon lovers, you're safe here. Now the tostada??? You literally need ONE. That's it. One and done. You could share it... but let's be real The flavor was STRAIGHT . The mojarra gets a 4.5/5 from me -- only because I personally like it extraaaa garlicky. BUT the amount of meat on that fish was WILD. Like... not playing around. Freaken GOOD. And they hook it up with tortillas, rice, beans, and salad. I usually ignore sides at other places because they're mid, but here?? I ATE EVERYTHING AND THEN -- plot twist -- it was karaoke day and even the employees were singing. The vibes were immaculate. Food + fun + good energy all in one. This little hole-in-the-wall really takes care of you. Great food, big portions, fun atmosphere. 10/10 will absolutely be back

Yesterdays meal was terrible…read more My order: Forgot name of plate..... four fried shrimp, one fish, calamari (crumbs) fries, coleslaw and a glass of ice water. Friends plate. Fish and fries. Everything on my plate was OVER FRIED, dark brown, tasted the same and seemed to all be fried in the same oil and basket. No individual flavors. Nothing seemed to be battered in house. ALL FROZEN PRODUCT FROM FOODSCO TYPE STUFF?!!?!! I mentioned to the waitress but she just smiled. I asked for oil chili but was given tomatoes purée with chili seeds. Said this is all they have. Not flavorful either. Looked across and person had fish taco with salsa. She should have offered that. Coleslaw was beige, wilted. Should be light green and crunchy. The ice water was unfiltered city water. You could taste dirty pipes. Gross. I asked for lemon and squeezed a bunch of juice into it so that I could have something to wash down the dry food. Suggestion: they should buy a brita filtered pitcher to use when serving water. I can't see myself paying $4 for a glass of soda. I usually bring my own water bottle as I don't do sugar fattening soda. Ordered a hamburger with a baked potato to go. Got home and they gave us fries my dad couldn't eat for health reasons and a burger with a thin patty as thin as a slice of deli ham. He fed the patty to his dog, threw the rest away and ate oatmeal and boiled eggs instead. Lol When we pulled up before we walked in we said there's no cars here. I hope it's not a sign the foods bad. It was 5:00 pm dinner time. After our experience inside our questions were answered. We ordered the wrong things. In past we always come here on weekends for menudo, Cajun steamed shrimp, seafood soup. They provide a really good oil chili with it. Not sure why they didn't have it today. If I return I won't order fish, shrimp, calamari, fries. The fries should be fried in their own oil. Not with the seafood. And the food was so dark I believe it was time to change the oil. Calamari were worm shaped. Small like crumbs. Long story short they need to step up their game in the kitchen and the frozen product quality they serve. Oh. And don't overcook everything. When you take food out of hot cooking oil it continues to cook after you take it out of fryer. Terrible waste of money on yesterday's meal.

Once you step inside, the vibe shifts instantly into a perfectly clean, well-organized Mexican eatery that feels both authentic and welcoming. The service is incredibly friendly and the prices are more than fair. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you've been let in on a local secret. The food is quite frankly phenomenal. We're talking enchiladas cooked to perfection, delicious tortillas, quesadillas boasting that glorious, milky-stretchy cheese we all dream about, and bold salsas that bring just enough zing to make you reach for your napkin (and maybe a glass of water). Even the staples like refried beans and rice were flawless, leaving us with absolutely nothing to fault. If you're looking for a meal with enough soul and spice to make you sweat, this is a must-visit!

Still amazing overall. Chicken Enchiladas 8.5/10 Really good, would definitely order again. The sauce and chicken were on point, tons of flavor.
