    First time trying this restaurant and we had a fantastic experience at this Mexican seafood restaurant. The Chicharron de Pescado (fried tilapia appetizer) was a perfect start crispy, flavorful, and not overly heavy. We also tried the Sinaloense cheese dip, which was rich and creamy with just the right amount of crab meat in it! The highlight, though, was the ceviche sampler. Every bite with shrimp, fish, octopus, and crab was fresh, bright, and well-seasoned easily one of the best we've had. Beyond the food, the service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. This place knows how to deliver a great dining experience. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh, delicious seafood with authentic flavor and great hospitality.

    The service was great food was brought out quickly as well. If you're looking for a mariscos place this is the spot for you. They had live music as well it was very nice for a get together with family.

    This place is my guilty please in SA. I've been here a few time and service is always good. If you go during busy times, there will normally be a wait to get your food. If you're dining with family, there's arcade games for the kids to entertain themselves and love music after certain hours. The ceviche is decent, but I always come here for the sushi with Oaxaca cheese on top. It's my favorite thing. Prices are a little high for the food it is but over all it's a good casual spot to enjoy.

    We enjoyed the vibes and the food of this place. We went here for a bday celebration of a friend on a Saturday and it was a lot of things happening in the background from the server, kids who play arcade games, a clown with skillful anime shaped balloons (it was really cool) and the non stop music. The food was really good and their drinks hit the spot. We got margaritas, beer, mules, and other more. For food it was a molcajete, enchiladas, red snapper, tacos, burrito. The service was kind of hard to rate. She did her best I know since there was A LOT of people but it took us 1hr to get our drinks and another 1hr to get our food. So it took us 3hrs in total not included the wait time. It seems like most people go here to drink more than dining in and eat. Also if you can, bring a friend that can speak spanish as the language barrier was hard even their menu indicates english and spanish, plus with loud music. Yet! Despite of all the downsides we had fun in this place and for sure we will go back.

    These were my sons enchiladas, they were amazing

    Came here today after my sons martial arts practice. We were hungry and just picked the first place we saw. It's just so happened be el Gallito. I still remember when it was the Chinese buffet. I forget the name. Lets start of with the ambience. It is completely redone, and looks nothing like it did before. It's nice, but has a very club like cringe to it. I think that is what they were going for. So they pulled that off. Love the open kitchen and has a very long bar. I can see the younger crowd loving it. The food was honestly very good. The sauces and the fact that they had hand made corn tortillas were one of the pluses! Let's start off with my sons shrimp enchiladas. Very generous portion, and the flavor was amazing. He loved it. We tried them and they were really good. My better half got the bistro tacos. They were really good, kinda hard to mess them up. Our plates came with a side of charro beans, which we loved(love when restaurants don't just give you old refried beans). I had the chicken fajitas. So here is my gripe. They were dry, because they were chicken breast. The better restaurants use chicken thighs for the fajitas, and they are much juicer and flavorful. They were well seasoned, and the white rice was also a great touch. We will be back to try other menus items. We thought with the decor it was going to be pricey, it was the opposite. The prices were fair.

    Excellent food! The sushi was delicious and the cantarito was huge! Went for lunch so not super full but still had músic and good environment. Recommend 100%

    Loud.... Very loud. Yes food was good, yes service was good, but still a bit TOO loud. Musicians play around you while you eat but remember it's not like a mariachi or a Trio, it's a full band playing. So, if you go brace yourself. As for me I might give it another try.

    Place was busy and loud but even though we had a big party the food came out quickly and was so good! The cheese enchiladas were spicy which did not expect just wish it was notated on menu for us not so fluent in Spanish, so other that and the waitress did take a bit to refill the drinks but understandable cause it was busy. I was surprised at the sushi, i ordered it fried and it was delicious. They had a band playing and they would walk around and interact. It was a different experience. I would recommend a reservation or to arrive early.

Birthdays, random cravings, "we survived the week" dinners & you name it, we've probably celebrated it here. The vibe is casual, fun, and laid-back, which is exactly what you want when you're about to put on a bib and commit to a seafood boil. 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.

Our server, Hadley, was adorable and sparkly and had such enthusiasm for the menu and was so happy to be working there! That attitude is infectious!

It came with lemon aioli and sweet Thai dipping sauces. It was so good! My husband tried the beer battered cod tacos with sweet potato fries from the chalkboard and I got the crab cake with arugula salad off the appetizer menu. It was all delicious. Only tweaking to recommend is cooking the sweet potato fries a little longer and having a little more flavor in the dressing for the arugula. But it was all so good! They had an outdoor seating area, as well. Not sure why some businesses don't open up the umbrellas when they're open for business. It just looks inviting and tells people they're open for business and ready for you. We will definitely be back. Their happy hour looks good and we want to try the oysters on the half shell.

I called ahead of time asking if they had availability for 6 guests at around 6 PM and they said that it shouldn't be a problem, but they can't guarantee that we'd be seated right away... sold! We arrived and while the set up the table, Charlene welcomed us to hang out at the bar. We were then greeted by Ben, who we came to find out was one of the owners of the restaurant. He spoke with us briefly as our table was being set up, welcoming us in. Within 3 minutes of coming in, they set up a table for us in the corner of the restaurant and had us seated. The place is small (not tiny) and even on a Wednesday at 6 PM, it was clearly a popular spot... we would continue to find out why that was the case. Forgive me, as I cannot remember our waitresses' name, but she was great. She handed us our menus and let us be as we needed a moment to make our decisions. The front of the menu tells the humble story of how the restaurant came to be - definitely worth a read while you are waiting. Our waitress came back and took our drink and food orders. At the same time, I asked if she could have Ben come over as we wanted to hear more about his story after reading the brief story on the front of the menu. He came over and talked to us for ~5 minutes telling us about how he ended up in the States after leaving his home and how the restaurant came to be - from that alone, my experience had already been elevated and I was even more excited for the remainder of the experience to come. The drinks arrived, followed by the food, which we ordered (mostly) solely on Ben's recommendations. Everything looked delicious and as we were told by Ben, it was all fresh, purchased that day from the market and cooked to order. We started with the fried mozzarella, which was unique to me, in that it had no marinara but instead, spicy honey and sesame seeds and was fried in beef tallow - it was great. I ordered the Chicken Parm, which had fresh mozzarella poured into it at the table - the mozzarella smelled (and tasted) AMAZING. The dish has select bites throughout it that had some spice to it - I'd say that the spice level was about a 3/10, coming from someone who doesn't have the highest spice tolerance. The flavor/satisfaction level? 10/10. Typically, I'm not a dessert guy, but because of how good the experience was up to this point, I had to indulge. I ordered the crème brûlée and was not disappointed. Good temperature, good, mild flavor and presentation. This experience was excellent. From the unsuspecting setting, the greeting, the noise level in the restaurant, the attentiveness of the servers, the presentation and flavor of the food, to the staff asking how everything was and holding the door for us as we left, this is an exemplary example of how hospitality/service should be done. Ben, hopefully you are extremely proud of the team you have put together and the establishment you have made over the past two years. Very well done and thank you for your hospitality. If we are ever in town again, this will DEFINITELY be a stop that we make. Cheers.
