    Cleanliness: 5 Ambience: 4 Food: 4 Service: 5 Prices: 4 Our family enjoyed a nice meal here to celebrate my son's promotion. He loves crawfish and says LA Crawfish has the best in the RGV. I will take his word for it as I not personally a fan of the little mud bugs. Thankfully they have plenty of other options: blue, snow and king crab; boiled or fried shrimp, chicken bites or wings, po-boys or baskets, gumbo, various kinds of pho, and more. They take your order at the counter. My wife told the young lady who took our order she wanted shrimp but not any that included a head. The fried butterfly shrimp was suggested and my wife was pleased with her choice. My girls ordered chicken and I got the snow crab. All very good. We recommend the wings over the "chicken bites". The service was over the top: friendly and attentive from start to finish. Three different people came by our table more than once to offer refills or whatever we needed. At one point we decided to order another basket and they took the order from the table rather than requiring us to get back in line. The crab was served with scissors and a tool to crack the shells. There are also bibs and gloves so you can eat without wearing your food. It's very casual and tables are covered with a thin plastic tablecloth which when you're through everything is gathered up easily to throw away. The crawfish and crab boils are served in plastic bags along with any potatoes, corn on the cob or andouille sausage. There are plastic utensils and plenty of paper towels. I had tried the beignets at the other location and was disappointed as they didn't seem anything like the large square ones I had enjoyed at Cafe Dumond in New Orleans. These are shaped like French fries and served on some icing before they're dusted with powdered sugar. So I did not order any this time. Others like them. The atmosphere is loud and like a sports bar with large screen TVs on every wall. Most played sports. One was playing a movie inappropriate for small children. I hope that's not always the case. The restrooms were clean. The parking lot is a bit crowded at peak times. So you may have to park around back. Overall we enjoyed our meal. If you like crawfish, my son insists they're the best and biggest. Their crab is certainly excellent and better than any I have had in the Valley.

    Look at that spider

    Let me tell you something i was excited to eat some crawfish, shrimp, crab legs & potatoes and corn it's been a year since I've had it until today Sunday evening March 10.. As I was eating almost everything I looked over at a weird looking black figure inside my dish and to come to my surprise it was a SPIDER!!! Not a small tiny one but a BIG SPIDER!! Gross. They didn't even give me my refund back nor any remake meal! What kind of service is this never ever coming to this place again.

    Great. One of the best places for crawfish and Cajun boils. I keep going back for the good service and most of the prices are reasonable, the drab boil is a bit expensive though.

    I stumbled across this place in San Antonio and now I see they have two here in Valley! It has you usual crawfish boil with other food! I had the crawfish pho and it was perfect for lunch! I'll be back here cause I this type of food!

    Hot and Sour Pho

    The service is ok, but the food has always been really good. The crawfish always tastes good and the hot and sour Pho is perfect on a cold or rainy day. The cleanliness of the bathroom could use work and the sink water always comes out piping hot but I'm willing to look past it for good food.

    We had passed the restaurant many times and my husband loves crawfish. We came for a date and really enjoyed the food. The seafood gumbo had an amazing flavor. The po boy and shrimp were crunchy and perfectly flavored. I wasn't fond of the flavor of the magic rice, but my husband loved it. It was definitely very Cajun spiced. We will come back.

    Good Crawfish. They come in different flavors. You can buy potatoes, corn and sausage separately. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. You pay market price for the crawfish however they do offer crabs for purchase. Be sure to get 3 lbs of crawfish. Oh yeah they have hot butter ready to pour.

    Awesome noodles and white rice
    Lizzy H.

    5 STAR SERVICE 5 STAR FOOD!!! From begging to end we had amazing service we were greeted and welcomed and always had full drinks never had to get up for condiments. This is the place to be!!!! Try the new location out you won't regret it!!!

    Had a wonderful meal here. Don't forget to add some potatoes and corn to your meal--that definitely threw it over the edge. 10/10

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday. I think this place has a lot of potential and if they work on a unique seasoning, they will be a great place to dine! The service was good.

    La Pesca is a locally owned and operated Mexican style restaurant specializing in seafood, but also…read morehas plenty of options for those who prefer something else. It is also apparently quite popular with locals, which is a good sign! The location is easy to find on the corner of W. University Drive and 6th Ave. by the railroad tracks. The building is old and has probably been repurposed multiple times. There are just a few spaces to park directly in front but there are more places to park on the east side. The food was wonderful. The ceviche was mounded high on the tostada, a little salty, but mild; I added some of the salsa provided it was excellent. The seafood soup was also delicious and chuck full of fresh fish and shrimp. The broth was a typical Mexican style, but not spicy. The cocktail sauce is also Mexican style. Do not expect the traditional American style cocktail sauce with horseradish. This sweeter, tomatoey Mexican style cocktail sauce is what most want here. They do have plenty of Tabasco sauce if you prefer that. The Mar y Tierra botana platter for 2 was enough to feed at least 3 or 4. It came loaded with fish, shrimp, and fajitas along with multiple sides. My son really enjoyed it ...even as leftovers the next day. There are a few Americanized aspects: the fish on the botana platter was lightly breaded with what I think was a cornmeal /flour mixture, Southern style, and had a good flavor. The French fries also had a great light crispy coating. The platter included a couple of other American sides: onion rings and hush puppies. All these on top of chips (totopos), beans, and garnished with fresh avocado... This is a popular place, and seating is limited. So if you go on a Friday night like we did, be prepared to wait to be seated, and wait a while for your food. There was also a pretty long take-out line. Once the food arrived we really enjoyed it, but there was a significant wait. I'd like to return on perhaps a Monday or Tuesday night. The décor is rustic with a beachy yet homey feel (because of the old building). I've been to classier and fancier looking places, but but I don't think anyone goes to La Pesca for the ambience. They go for the food, and it is good enough to wait for if you happen to arrive at a busy time.

Food: The seafood was incredibly fresh, seasoned perfectly, and packed with bold flavor. Every bite tasted like it was prepared with care. The sauces were rich without overpowering the natural flavor of the seafood, and the portions were generous. You definitely leave satisfied. Pro tip: I highly recommend ordering bottled water with your meal -- it pairs perfectly with the seasoning and keeps everything balanced while you enjoy the full flavor experience. Service: Ruby was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server checked on us consistently without being intrusive, and everything came out quickly and hot. Great customer service. Thanks Ruby! Ambiance: The atmosphere is lively, clean, and comfortable. It has that fun seafood-boil energy while still being relaxed enough to enjoy good conversation. It's a great spot for family dinners, friends' night out, or even a casual date night. Overall, Krab Kings delivers on flavor, service, and vibe. We'll definitely be back!
