$9 drink
Patricia M.

Heard so many good things about this place, only to be terribly disappointed. Nice size establishment & there were a number of people. Seated promptly in a booth & provided menus. What we couldn't help notice all the flies. Not one or two but like at least 10. We should have left, lesson learned. Noticed other customers were having the same problem as well. We did place appetizers. Guacamole lacked seasoning, however the portion was big. The queso was good. Was hard to enjoy while waving flies off our food. Meh definitely would not return. Seemed as though no effort in trying to manage the fly problem. Placed a drink order, pina Colada & Margarita in a 12 oz plastic cup @ 9 dollars each. Skip this place.

Food was superb, well done and seasoned. The whole fish was a good size for the market price. Staff was attentive and courteous. Ambiance was comfortable and clean all around. Plate comes with rice and salad and one lemon but you can always request more lemons. Definitely will be back !

We wanted to eat some seafood and grab a drink glad this place hit the spot. They have a full bar we ordered some margaritas, Mexican candy shots, and beer the shots were not the best I'd stick with something simple. The music was good, I like the decorations, and the place seemed clean. As for the food id definitely go back for the ceviche im usually picky because I don't think some places use enough lime juice but this had just the right amount. I did prefer to eat the chips instead of the tostada that was given seemed like the tostadas were store bought or stale. We also had a fried shrimp plate the shrimp was a good size it came with a house made tarter sauce I would give 7/10. Overall good place I was surprised we were the only customers!

Fun place

Not being a fan of seafood that dates someone that is you end up making some concessions, so I found this place on yelp with decent ratings and hoped it had more than just seafood. Of course she grew up in Seabrook, so I was worried about getting her seafood in San Antonio. Alas she insisted thus seafood it is. I will say this place is lively! Its not quiet and romantic , but rather loud and rowdy. So if your looking for a fun time it's a great fit! I found the place fun and it was for the most part ok. I wouldn't say I was overly impressed, but it was still a good time. I had the surf and turf fajitas with a margarita and she had the Enchiladas Verde with shrimp. All in all decent food in loud and fun atmosphere.

Self explanatory

So the family and I had decided to stop by and see what the fuss was about and I got to say I'm kicking myself in the ass for not coming here sooner. I ordered a dish that had octopus and and snapper, and shrimp in it that had cheese and a good sauce on it and the prep on it was done very nicely nothing was over cooked and it all tasted great, and the portion was generous. But the reasons I'm not give it five stars are my own. I can tell you this I will be going back as I want to try something off that menu that isn't smothered in cheese hint hint, not that cheese is bad cheese is good I love cheese but I digress. I recommend you give this place a try, oh and the drinks are always cold with drink specials as well. Ps I'll get more pics next time.

Spicy (yet flavorless) Ta' Quesito la Pastora de Camaron

Well, mark la perla off the list of places to try. Tried it, fish was fresh.... But meh. I ordered for delivery. The taco - it was a taco. Nothing special. Nothing to make a trip over there for. There's a taco shop on every street corner around here and at least half of them are probably better. Mixed seafood cocktail - seafood was fresh but the cocktail sauce was probably the sweetest I've ever had. Not a fan of sweets for a meal. Kids would love it as a "salsa" maybe The ceviche tostada - at least a half dozen fresh tostada shells packed separately and none in with the ceviche, which was nice. All the ceviche juice leaked out into the bag... Literally. All. Of. It!!! They put that mayo sauce on it though after eating around it I dumped the juice from the bag into the container, nope that ain't it. Cut up a whole jalapeño and put it in there, and squeezed a whole lime and some lemon into it... barley edible, but I was starving. Had to stop because it was making me feel like I was gonna puke. Mayo does that to me. Would I ever order from there again? Most likely not for delivery, maybe in person if someone invited me along though and I'd be sure to tell them "NO F###### MAYO!" and I'd for sure order something else.

Delicious Latin American seafood! We had a friend recommend this place and we are SO glad she did! We've loved everything that we've tried so far. This is also a place that we take our out of towners to for their large portions and their unique options. Now onto the food: Highly recommend any of their molcajetes! I've tried all three, but my favorite has to be the molcajete de chamuco for their chunks of melted cheese. Beware this one ONLY comes with different varieties of shrimps. The molcajete levanta muertos would be my second pick. This one is a bit spicy and has a combination of different types of sea foods. The shrimp empanadas were a different take on your average breaded ones that you'd typically find in restaurants. This one has a flaky, crispy crust with loads of cheese and chunks of shrimp inside. The sauce that accompanied the empanadas was also mayo based instead of chimichurri. If you had to choose two dishes to taste, I'd highly recommend the ceviche verde de pescado! It's incredibly refreshing and so good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I'll definitely be coming back!

Typical seafood restaurant with a variety of dishes. The dishes are flavorful and the portions are big. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. This was our second time going to this restaurant. The first time they gave us some little extras like soup shooters, but I'm not sure if they don't do that anymore. While waiting for your food, you can snack on their complimentary tostadas and sauce. They bring out two sauces, the green was hotter than the red one. They also have a rack of any bottled sauce available at HEB. We ordered the empanadas as an appetizer without realizing they were going to be pretty big. They were fresh out of the fryer, but you could tell they weren't the frozen type. For the main dishes, we shared tacos and the filet relleno. Our favorite taco was the capeado de Camaron. I think what made the taco was the slaw with cotija. We also ordered beer and an alcoholic mangonada. The mangonada was ok. Probably too sweet for me, but I should have expected it. We went on a Friday night and I am not sure if this is customary, but a child came In selling fruit cups table to table to raise money for his dad. Then a while later a man came in and sang for tips. Once the singer came in, it became noisy, but we were still able to carry a conversation. If you don't mind those little extras during dinner, then it won't be a problem.

4 shots for 20 Dollars Mango tequila and fireball.

OMG the queso fundido was the best I have had in a long time. They had a drink special of 4 shots for 20 dollars I had the Mango shot and chilled fireball it was so good. We had to get a to go box cause we also had ceviche pescado a large it was awesome even the price was good. I have been here before so I guess they eighter sold it or changed hands because it was so much better I will come her again can't wait

Tacos and Marisco molcajete
Melissa M.

This was the best Mexican food I had here in San Antonio. I am from California so tex-mex isn't much my thing. I got two different tacos and they were both amazing. One had shrimp and the other had grilled fish. I would recommend anyone in this area of San Antonio to try it. Service and food is great.

Fajita!

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.

When I came up to the place it wasn't a sit down place to eat, but that you have to order which was confusing as there were a lot of other restaurants within the small space. There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I. The space provided because they don't give you anything but what you order no napkin just nothing else. Enjoy and hope the you didn't forget to order anything special or extra as you won't get it.

A true gem! This is…read moremy fourth time eating here and each time they knock it out of the park! Whenever I'm in San Antonio, I have to eat here. The texture of fish is crunchy on the outside with a flaky, meaty texture on the inside . The wings are fried in a way that's just right. They are crunchy and the sauce adheres so well without making them soggy. The green beans, red beans, and wedges are great options for sides to accompany the fish and wings. It was my first time ordering from a place with this type of setup. It was so cool! I scanned my order on an iPad and open pops a locker door with my food. If you're in the mood for fried fish and wings...this place does not miss.

I appreciate that their potatoes and corn are also mixed into all the flavorful seasoning rather than being cooked separately and not mix them in like other spots do.

It was a great experience going with my Family. They provide a permanent marker in order to write your name on the wall. That makes for a great memory for everyone especially kids. The variety of food is so amazing! They have fried fish, fried calamari, fried flounder, jumbo shrimp, fried catfish, combo plates with different options to make a custom meal. Crawfish, clams, and mussels and sooo much more. You will really love the variety and all the great flavors. I think it's a nice place to catch the Spurs games because they have TV screens everywhere and also a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. Take your friends, take your Family, take your Beloved! You will be pleasantly surprised! P.S. it can be a bit messy but it doesn't matter because they give you plastic sheer hand gloves, wet towelettes, and a plastic type bib if you need it.
