I drive down about once a month from Fredericksburg to buy crab legs, "fresh" fish, and sometimes…read morehot lunch/dinner plates. I've been coming for over 2 years now and my food is ALWAYS made fresh. The service is usually exceptional with the exception of one of the Hispanic males (but I won't let him change the rating). It is carry out only and I suggest bringing a cooler during the hotter months because they won't give you that much ice. In my opinion the shrimp isn't that great (taste farmed raised), but I am very picky about shrimp. The wait time is generally pretty good, but during holidays and nice weather be prepared for a lengthy wait. If it is busy I suggest parking at the goodwill to avoid getting stuck in their small parking lot. You have to ask for cups for sauces on the side and they will charge extra for just about everything else (like bread, lemon etc). They can get a heavy handed with seasoning so I always request very light to light depending on who is taking my order. The establishment is very clean, organized, and well maintained. Large-jumbo crab legs run about $25/lb (now in 2026 price increase) , sometimes they have Dungeness crab legs too. Shrimp varies by size, but roughly $11.99/lb-$22.99/lb. Fish varies from $6.99/lb-$15.99/lb. I've only purchased red snapper (to cook at home) and it did not taste great to me. I highly recommend buying their hot fried fish or cold whiting (to cook at home).

I got the fried fish with 4 shrimp combo with fries... nothing good about it at all. The fish tasted very cheap and old. The fries were soft with no flavor at all. As far as the shrimp, I could only tell it was a shrimp because I could see the tail hanging out, other than that I couldn't tell it was shrimp. I personally would never try again, especially since there are much better seafood restaurants close by. Sea and sea please step your game up. Very nice people though, but the food ain't it!

I was only able to take a picture of my meal, because my husband had already started devouring his pork chop sandwich and later helping himself to my meal.

I got 3 mixed pupusas and 3 steak tacos. The pupusas were huge, but they were kinda flavorless. The accompanying curtido wasn't sour enough for my liking, either. The winner was the tacos. Delicious, and affordable at like $2.50 each.

I've never been disappointed, and they keep a busy line. Love their chicharrones and empanadas de plátano de leche, pasteles, and whatever else I have tried from the fritura (fried food) hot bar. They keep hot tortillas in the cooler by the hot bar. The usual butcher is the absolute best! He's very kind and helpful. He always has a wide variety of sausages plus beef shank, smoked pork chops (frozen), and basically anything I need for a good stew, with the exception of my auyama. They even have the most beautiful, very fresh cilantro/cilantro ancho at this location. Ask the butcher for more if you don't see it. I find it well worth going a bit out of my way to pass other amanecer markets to go to this one. The front register service is pretty blah, but they have what I need. Watch the produce though because the prices can be pretty ridiculous at this location, but they're one of few places that have guineo verde (Green banana) and plátano maduro (ripe plantain) always at the perfect ripeness at all times. I do pay the higher price for that there because I've never gotten weird plantains with soft spots or oddly hard ripe plantains here. The more basic produce like cabbage and corn tends to be the most ridiculous price. This is definitely my favorite amanecer markets overall. They have plenty of variety, and they have beautiful-looking seafood in abundance that never ever has an off smell, not even in the least. The habit of storing fresh herbs by the seafood and the butcher handling them would be my only complaint. I'm always cooking my herbs, so I don't worry so much.

The service was a 2/5 because the lady spoke little English. But the mannerism is what made it bad. She took our menus after ordering an appetizer.
