Super expensive. RIP off. Food wasn't warm. Service was slacking. We didn't look our best when we entered and they didn't attend us until after a second couple came in and they looked more fancy, they were attended to immediately. We gave them a look and then they attended us. Service terrible. Food meh. Price rip off read more

Loved the food and how generous were portions and drinks, however the prices were even more expensive than in the nice Mexican restaurant. The food tasted authentic, but I do prefer a lighter versions of Mexican cuisine. The decor is between Fast Food joint and Mexican diner... no nice ambiance, but probably perfect for Sunday (not Saturday) family early dinner. Only one server, who could get to all her tables, since there are not too many. read more

Langostino's Nayarit - a table full of food - Seafood Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

The service was excellent, but the food was better. The huachinango was the best that I have had this side of the border. A place this good has no business being located in the suburbs. read more

Promising yet ultimately disappointing experience with takeout from here. It's a cozy little place, and the staff is friendly, so no problems there. The big issue with our experience here was with the food itself. My wife placed an order for shrimp ceviche for takeout, and while it tasted fine, it was 95% chopped vegetables, 3% liquid, and 2% shrimp. There was, literally, just six tiny, let me repeat, -tiny- cubes of shrimp. That was it. If you glued them together, you'd have, maybe, one half of a shrimp in total. The dish overwhelmingly consisted of diced tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. What's worse is that it cost over $20 for all that disappointment. I can't speak to the quality of anything else on the menu, but if you're thinking of ordering the shrimp ceviche, spare yourself the disappointment and order something else. Better yet, go to another establishment that doesn't skimp on the featured ingredient in this dish. read more

I'd give the food a 3.5 star. However, the most concerning thing is the dishonesty. This place charges 18% service/tip automatically, and then suggests an additional tip calculated on the full amount - inclusive of the 18%. If someone does not pay atention one will end up paying up to 40% tip. Deshonestidad, cargan 18% de propina automático, pero al traer el recibo a firmar sugieren tip adicional sobre el total que ya tenía el 18% de cargo de propina. Pon atención a tu recibo o terminarás pagando 40% de propina. read more

The food was very good and the staff was friendly. I recommend the civiche tostada de camarón.

My homies decided to check out this place. Langostino's is seafood with a big heavy mexican influence (hence the name). You can order a giant fish bowl of horchata or a strawberry margarita. When seated, you get a basket of saltine crackers and instead of your standard chips, tostada shell chips. A small bowl of pico de gallo and some other super spicy sauce comes with it as well, with the plate circled with limes. The pico was phenomenal. It had the usual tomato, cilantro, onions, and seasoning, but there was small chunks of fish meat in there (which was first mistaken to be garlic), which was great. It sounds weird, but let me tell you, the pico did not have a fishy taste at all... I'm a texture guy and I really enjoyed it. To my dismay, my friend wanted the oysters..... with cheese. I love me oysters raw, but wanted to be a team player and agreed to it. The appetizer came with two different sizes -- we went with the 8. It was as expected. The cheese pretty much masked the small gems of oyster. I do have to say the cheese sauce was pretty good. I used it to dip my tostada shell/chips with em. For my main dish, I went with the Filete Relleno, which was a stuffed fillet (I'm guessing tilapia) topped with cheese, shrimp, imitation crab meat, mushrooms, and scallops. The order came with a small little salad that consisted mostly of iceberg lettuce, tomato, and a cucumber, a cup of some rice mix, and a pretty nice portion of fries. I don't know how they made the fries, but it seriously was really good. It had a really nice crispiness to it and whatever the fries were seasoned with, it was great. I was really impressed. In regards of the fillet and everything else on the plate, it was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and I was stuffed. Service was A-OK... could be better. There was a separate occasions where we asked for water, or a refill of pico, and we would either have to remind him after past 10-minutes or so. It turns out, the pico is not complimentary; we asked for a refill, which we got, and then later on asked for another, and the server informed us the first was free (not sure about the second, but we didn't get charged). Not a big deal, and I'm not complaining. But yeah, if you think it's like asking for more salsa with your chips, you can, just know that it's not free. Again, not complaining, just more of a "ooooh, I'm sorry.... didn't know." BATHROOM REVIEW: Located at the very front of the restaurant (there are two entrances to the restaurant, I'm referring to the side on Busse Rd, not Dempster) it is a one person bathroom for Men's. Inside, the bathroom was decently spacious, with room for a toilet, urinal, and sink. I elected to use the urinal and it worked fine. There was no paper towel dispenser, which I have mixed-feelings about, because sure, it saves the planet, but I hate rubbing my hands forever, and prolonging being in a bathroom that I don't really enjoy in general. Sit or squat? Squat. read more

This is a really great Mexican/seafood restaurant in the area! I highly recommend this place if you're looking for fresh sea food, a lot of complimentary small introduction dishes are given as well. The food here can get very expensive but there are also inexpensive dishes as well. If you like spicy food you'll love it here too - tons of spicy options. All fresh and homemade sauces and foods - 5 stars! read more

Taste less food, bad service, overpriced, be aware that they include the 18% tip automatically plus the 3% if you pay with card and of course they pretend being nice with you insisting that you could save money paying with cash Don't go not worth it read more

My 1st time here was a wonderful experience. Great food, great service, and the outside setting was so pleasant to have dinner. read more

This place great! Upon sitting down, we were served ceviche with tostadas and a spicy sauce. Most options seemed huge so I went with the tacos de pescado and tostada de pulpo. Surprisingly the fish a d octopus had an amazing flavor. The orchata I ordered was really good too. Definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

Legit! Legit! Legit! Do you know what a langoustine is, if a lobster fucked a shrimp then their offspring would be the langoustine. Amazing place and definitely underrated in my opinion. Pros: * This place is so addictive I would've thought they were cooking with crack * the shrimp is fucking delicious * the langoustine is equally fucking delicious * that sauce --that sauce is the crack I mentioned earlier and if u don't think it tastes good then u may be the one on crack * margaritas are on point * if your coming here, expect to get messy cuz this shit isn't a first date place unless u really don't give a fuck about how sloppy your gonna get Cons: * for the average person who doesn't always eat seafood, the price might seem high but is actually priced very well for what you get in return read more

I went to this place for lunch and let me tell you It's a hidden gem!!! I've only seen this type of food in the city I've lived in mount prospect for years and I'm mad I didn't know about it until now My sever was Lucy and she was phenomenal I had the fish tacos and they were the best I've ever had The flavors just mixed perfectly My colleague had the prawn dinner (langostinos) which he was skeptical about because we didn't know what they were But no regrets here, they were so rich in flavor Dinners come with fries, salad, and rice Our server recommended the red snapper (Nayarit style) which I will definitely be back for Also when they say spicy they mean it read more

Not worth the price. The food was horrible and they called the police on me to pay for it once I complained. i was told by the manager that their food was good as if I didn't have tastebuds of my own. Disgraceful!!!!! read more

Such a nice and friendly spot. Took my mom for Mother's Day here during lunch and although it was peak hour, the employees are very accommodating. Really good food as well! I would highly recommend!! read more

Move in around the area from Chicago. First time visiting this restaurant since I'm a big into Mexican seafood restaurants. Also order Red Snapper and Langostino's. First review, the red snapper was very small for $25.50 and way over priced. Second review, order the half order of Langostino's. 10 small pieces for $25.99. ARE YOU KIDDING ME = Highway robbery and it was just cooked in butter. This was a ONE AND DONE from me. Never going back again. I will make the extra drive back downtown Chicago. Also, service was very slow. read more

Ordered a Pescado a la diabla from here when served the fish literally looked undercooked I mentioned it to the waiter and she tried to convince me it was good, i asked to please replace it and she did with a Salmon, & still was charged for the first dish wich i didn't even eat since it looked very bad. Ill give this place a 0/10 bad representation of what real Mexican Seafood Is, no wonder it's always empty. read more

Today was the most dishonest service I've ever had. I came with my son and my husband to have dinner, drive all the way from north suburbs. My boys ordered each for plates and I ordered lobster tail dinner . Our waitress name Paula, she could've been honest and more caring for her customers. when my plate has arrived I asked her if it's too much for a person to eat and she said yes, usually it's a plate for 2-3 people. Why didn't she say so ??? It cost me $90 for a plate! Very dishonest service! read more

Horrible service the waiter didn't refill my water while i was with a group of friends read the policy cant pay split bill will credit cards that's so bad we paid but that's inconvenient the food wasn't tasty no distinctive flavor I would avoid this place 1. Slow service 2 non flavorful food read more

Pretty good, me and my man had the red snapper and it was huge & tasty. It also came with yummy fries , salad, and rice. There was complimentary ceviche with tortilla crackers and saltine crackers as well. The red snapper entree was $25.50, a good deal for all of it. Would go again! read more

This place was highly recommended and I think I had my hopes way high. The food was okay. I had the taco dinner (one fish and one shrimp)...the shrimp taco was definitely better. The fish taco was a bit soggy. My mom had the breaded fish fillet...the plate looked delish but it really needed more flavor. Maybe the mojo de ajo or Nayarit style would be better. The limonada drinks were huge, fresh and delish! The servers were excellent and very attentive. I will have to come in another time and give it another chance for sure! read more

First time here and gotta day was pretty good. Ordered more food than necessary for the three of us but wanted to try different food items. My advice is don't order that much cause the portions are huge. Will definitely go back to try their seven seas soup. On a side note the waiter asked if we wanted rice so we said yes not knowing they were $3.25 per scoop! We spent well over $200 on other stuff so we thought he was just offering but no they charged $9.75 for 3 scoops of rice.... annoying just tell us how much prior to offering. Maybe that's one of the reasons why the place is empty. read more

Omg best Mexican seafood. The portions are so big, they're very generous with how much they give you. The shrimp diabla is my favorite. Comes with so much shrimp, soaked in spicy delicious sauce, yummy white Mexican rice, yummy garlic bread, and the fries are such a nice touch. Usually places don't add fries to an entree like this, but it's soooooo good. AMAZING AMAZING. No other place will give you that much shrimp. The restaurant is also really pretty and quiet which is relaxing read more

Went here last night and ordered a half order of Dungeness crab Nayarit style. Never heard of Nayarit but it was simply amazing. If you want some real flavor go with it, you can get garlic and butter anywhere. Once you eat the 1 1/2lb serving ( this is the half order) you will wish you ordered the full size (about 3lbs). If you like rice the sauce pairs well when you spoon some on the rice. read more

Got to the restaurant and were seated right away. After a few minutes of waiting our server Paola came by and asked for our order. She was pleasant and friendly. Or dish (sea food mix) was a good size for 2 or 3 people and that was the small size. The taste was good and I say I will come and visit again. read more

Got some fish tacos. The fish itself wasn't seasoned but they added tomato and cilantro on the tacos. They also added an orange mayo dressing on top but I can't tell you what flavor it was because it was pretty bland. We ordered a chocolate flan, and it was just a regular flan (dry, the texture of cheesecake) with chocolate sauce drizzled on top. We ordered that one to-go, so it was a disappointment when we opened it. read more

Had the fish and shrimp soup. So, so good! Had that authentic taste I was craving! Definitely NOT stingy with the shrimp and fish at all. The flavors were all there! I will definitely be back. Great first impression. read more

The chapuzón is a mix of oysters, shrimp and octopus. It was very tasty with a smoky broth and sliced red onion. It comes by itself though you have to get a separate order of rice or bread if you want. I had rice and poured some of the broth on it and I loved it. The rice by itself was the best white rice I've had. I wasn't crazy over the fried calamar. I thought it could've been less chewy. The service was great I even received a beautiful rose (valentines day weekend). read more

I just tried this place because the Japanese place beside the restaurant is so crowded. The place is decent and nice! Typical nayarit style restaurant, so expect a lot of seafood! I love their langostinos plate! With salad, garlic bread, fries and rice! I had them with Michelada and its yummy too. They offered a small plate of fish ceviche once you are seated. I will come back. read more

Food was good but for only one dish hard to say. I stop here for lunch and the place was not busy, maybe total six people. I am a little disappointed with service, Lucy H. didn't even refill my water not only once, but with no problem she found time to chat with some customer. I had to handle my dish swallowing saliva. BTW menu is bad designed with blue and red colors it is hard to focus what is where. Also not sure if this is Mexican colony because names were in Spanish first and English as second translate. read more

WOW! This was just simply delicious! I ordered the seafood stuffed pepper that came with white rice and some kind of supernaturally yummy red sauce. The service was great and the place itself was cool looking. My husband really enjoyed it also, and he's a picky one. I loved that they start you off with some tostadas with ceviche. I will definitely be coming back and will bring friends and family. read more

Due to Covid-19 we had to order for delivery from this place. The service is absolutely incredible! Fast, very well packing that keepa the food warm and they leave your food at the door if you wish for social distancing practices! I absolutely recommend this delicious spot. read more

Flavor country! Complimentary salsa and ceviche. Soooo good. Then for dinner I got the shrimp. It was like mini stuffed lobsters in an amazing buttery sauce that got absorbed by my rice and fries and garlic bread. (All comes with the dish) myHusband got the stuffed Filet of fish. It was fish smothered in a cream sauce with shrimp, octopus, red peppers and mushrooms. Probably some other things too...but it all melted together so nicely. We will be back very soon!! Oh and the margaritas are the size of your head! read more

Service was kind of bad. I had to get up to ask for water after a long time waiting. Normally spanish seafood is big on their sauces that it's cooked with or bathed in. The sauces were super watery like a soup so there wasn't any finger licking. I kept having to flag down another waiter to get beers. I ordered 6 special oysters that come with the works. Octopus, shrimp,cucumber and more. Looked great but tasted super salty. read more

I ordered ostiones preparados (prepared oysters). It was a bit overpriced even for the half order, the ostiones were in a brownish sauce and it was pretty nasty. Serving it without the sauce wouldve made all the difference. The smell of the spice they used stayed in my fingers for the rest of the night. To top it off they don't devien their shrimp. That is shrimp handling 101 you remove the digestive tract. Not removing it is a big no no. The garlic bread was good but that should not have been the highlight of my dining experience. The server was very nice and hospitable but unfortunately that was not enough for me to say I'll be going back. read more
