Biggest oysters ever, but not good.
Carmen S.

Servers were friendly. The prices displayed on the menu are out of date and they basically charge whatever they want. Octopus was mediocre. Menu said 16.99, and for that it would have been ok, bad definitely not for the 28 they charged us. We will definitely not be back.

Chicharron de Pescado and Fish Tacos
Sam D.

Let's start off with the service. The servers, Yaneth, Michel, Ashley, Cabrera and Xóchitl, are outstanding. They are on top of things and if one of them is tied up, any of the others will willingly take care of the customer. The food: Everything we've tried has been outstanding. We normally start off with the guacamole and fish chicharron. You are served a large portion of guac (sometimes hard to finish) and the chicharron (fried fish strips) that sometimes make a full meal. Any of the entrees we've tried have all been great. I am not one for octopus (too rubbery) but my wife ordered a whole one and had me try it. It was actually soft and easy to chew. Not that I would ever order it, but if you like octopus, I believe you'll like it. Their pasta dishes are awesome and you can even ask to remove any seafood you don't like from the dish (such as octopus!) My wife likes the Mojarra a la Diabla which is whole tilapia in a red sauce. I've tried it, it's good, but I just can't eat something that's staring back at me. Try this place. It's small and sometimes parking is hard to find but well worth it.

Yuuuum! Mexicans know how to party!!!

I don't know where to start bragging about Las Islas Marias! I have been a loyal customer for years! This restaurant isn't only for good food but the perfect establishment for entertainment and people watching! At every visit it never fails to see something unusual. From clowns performing... to mariachis... to people selling random things. One time a lady walked in carrying a table to sell... so yes this restaurant i believe function on Mexico time lol and I am in love with it! Also the food is super good! My favorite is the shrimp Nayarit that sauce you can drink on its own! All of their ceviches are amazing! Very well seasoned, spicy, citrusy and tangy! No need to add anything to it just scoop with the tostada and enjoy! Pair it with a cerveza preparado and you are all set!

Pasta Marinera
Angie A.

Such a good restaurant! Love the pasta marinera! Their prices are really accessible. The establishment is small though.

We decided to check this restaurant out on a Sunday. I know, I know... I expected to have to wait a longgg time but surprisingly no. We waited maybe 15-20 mins? For a party of 6. We got a booth that was surprisingly accommodating. We all got different things and they all tasted very delicious! I want to go back and try so many more different options because the family next to us ordered some delicious looking good.

Pallia Del Mar
Patrick R.

We had a group of ten on New Year's Day and only had to wait about 20 minutes. Once seated the service and the food was great. Food was plentiful and service was very quick.

This was the back side of a clam or mussel. I don't know what that mold stuff is on top.
Triolin V.

I really hate to do this but I don't know how you people can eat this. That only tells me that people around here do not know good seafood. This was straight up food poisoning. The fish meat, shrimp was chewy and old. Trash. I took a few bites and called it quits. That was enough to make my stomach hurt. To the people who left this disgusting place good ratings: y'all crazy. Close this place down!

I wish I lived in SA just for this place. I cannot recommend it enough. The food and service was awesome. I had the ceviche verde. It was perfect. Didn't need extra lime, salt, nothing. I might come back for lunch again tomorrow before I leave SA.

Nautical Themes
Angel R.

Amazing seafood with fresh flavors coastal seafood dishes. Unmatched ceviche and cocktails. Try the campechanas cocktail for an ocean full bite. We will be back.

Smashin Crab has hosted so many of our family celebrations at this point that it's basically part…read moreof the guest list. 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.

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.

The Marriott Tribute Portfolio property sits along a quieter stretch of the River Walk between Pearl and downtown, with sleek interiors, an outdoor fireplace lounge, lush greenery and a river-facing patio. Ducks, joggers, people-watching and glowing hanging lights after sunset make it feel like a little hotel holiday without leaving the city. Service has always been friendly and accommodating to our preferences, and the menu is surprisingly robust with New Orleans-inspired Cajun and seafood flavors alongside steaks, pasta, duck, lamb and Southern comfort dishes. Our repeat fave is the fried calamari -- crispy, savory and brightened up with jalapeños, chile flakes, sauce and grilled lemon. The beau keeps raving about the Diablo pasta. The catfish nuggets were a bit drier for us, but a side of the marina sauce brought them right back to life along with tartar sauce. For next time: frog legs and alligator appetizers on the menu! One of our serendipitous moments was walking along and were spotted by friends already seated here, waving us over from across the River Walk to join them. That pretty much sums up the charm -- scenic, easygoing and social. Great for daily happy hour, al fresco dining or a relaxed stop between Pearl and downtown when you want the River Walk experience with calmer space.
