    Piña rellena
    Sienna G.

    Came here for the first time with my family on a Sunday afternoon. I've only tried piña rellena at one other place & never found anyone else that made this. They made the BEST piña rellena. I didn't order with octopus, only shrimp. So flavorful! Must come and try this place for sure.

    What a hidden gem! If you love seafood, come here. The longostino plate is my favorite. The sauce that coats the prawns has such great flavor, spicy and tangy at the same time. Love dipping the cucumbers in the same sauce. The shrimp empanadas are a must order as well.

    Shrimp empanadas

    First time here and won't be my last! The food is so delicious and I can't wait to come back and try more off the menu. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was very lively and full of music and families. Every booth was filled which told me all I needed to know... this place is legit. Service was welcoming and staff made sure we had everything we needed. As for food they started us off with a fish ceviche and tostadas instead of the usual chips and salsa which was impressive. We ordered two fish tacos and shrimp empanadas and washed it all down with a classic margarita. The fish tacos were beer battered to perfection and had plenty of flavor, I forgot to even squeeze lime on it lol. The shrimp empanadas had an almost sweet tasting masa, crispy on the outside but still fluffy inside. Everything had great flavor. 10/10 recommend and will come again!

    Vuelve A La Vida,

    Had the Vuelve A La Vida with shrimp, octopus, imitation crab meat, imitation abalone, and a raw oyster. It was very good and tasty, would recommend and order again.

    Amazing Mexican Mariscos. Great price, excellent service. A must try if I'm the mood for seafood

    OK this has the second time I have been here. The first thing that I want to say that I like about this place is instead of giving you salsa and chips they give you ceviche, which is really good. They have all kinds of seafood that you can think of and that you love and they also have other stuff like fajitas, this is what we tried this time and they were really good and we will be back again to try of the big seafood plates. Service was great and the ambience was pretty chill. So if you are in this area of a Lodi come try it out. I don't think you will be disappointed, unless you don't like seafood, but I will put up a few pictures and be back to see if they can earn that fifth star. Thanks.

    Fish Ceviche

    Everything was really tasty and delicious. Service was fast and friendly, but our server wasn't as attentive. I had to look for my server multiple times, but everything was still good. Overall the place was very clean and the ambiance was really nice.

    Levanta Muertos Plate
    Jerri S.

    The food is top notch! Pleasantly surprised with the generous portions. Flavor was great complimented the food without taking away the seafood taste. I recommend the Levanta Muertos plate and it's big enough for 2. Ceviche appetizer instead of the standard bowl of tortilla chips is a nice touch. We stopped in during lunch while working and they were busy. The staff were polite and friendly. Our food came quickly despite the crowd. Live Mariachi music taking requests from table to table. Noisy but fun, good family place as well.

    Fish taco
    Carmela G.

    Best fish taco, it was delicious! They didn't skimp on the fish & my beer was nice and cold.

    Stopped in for a Michelada because I hear there's is the best. Was not disappointed. Can't wait to come back and try their food. Everything looked awesome.

    Ni ala mitad llegan los frijoles

    Parece que no tenían suficiente frijoles ni arroz Para el precio que pagué por este platillo Es para que viniera bien servido . Muy decepcionada

    Beef fajitas
    Asma I.

    A local favorite for fresh seafood with a Hispanic and Southern twist, a bit of drive from Sacramento but worth it to try if you don't mind the drive. Call ahead and make a reservation to ensure you're not waiting for a table, especially during weekends/holidays. Hosts are attentive and prompt, upon taking your order they'll provide each table with complimentary basket of tostada chips, crackers, a small portion of seafood ceviche with salsa. Definitely not as luxurious as table side guacamole but it's appreciated. Drink options are great and have a good portion size. Once the order is placed, the wait time can average 15 minutes. Freshness of the seafood is a consistent quality that we appreciate every time we dine at this small Resturant. We've tried the beef and chicken with shrimp fajitas, both were greasy but tasty. Ample parking options are available for customers. Overall rating a 3/5 due to cleanliness and greasy food.

The space was very clean and comfortable. The seafood boil came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The steamed rice was fluffy and paired really well with the seafood, and we enjoyed the hush puppies too. The one thing we didn't care for was the calamari. Unfortunately, it was extremely tough and chewy, which made it hard to eat, so we wouldn't order that again. The wait staff was friendly and on top of things throughout our meal, which we appreciated. Overall, I think this place has the best seafood boil in the area, especially for the price - you get a lot more food here compared to other local seafood boil spots. We'll definitely be back!

The prickly pear margarita tasted more like a pink Jolly Rancher than anything else, which just wasn't for me.

Without those, the fajitas ended up being really dry. I ended up just paying and getting ready to leave, but when I grabbed a menu again and asked about it, they apologized and offered me chips and salsa to go, which I appreciated. The staff was very nice throughout, but the whole experience felt a bit disorganized. Overall, it just didn't feel like a good value for the money, and I left pretty underwhelmed.

I needed a few extra lemons, and it took a while to ask. Other than that, everything was good overall.

    I really wanted to like this spot, but we probably won't be coming back anytime soon…read more We love the Milpitas location and assumed all locations offered the same drinks. We were disappointed to find out this one doesn't offer micheladas or Coke Zero (only Diet), both of which the Milpitas location offers. Service was also frustrating. We came in for a Friday lunch and they weren't busy, yet it took a while for anyone to acknowledge us and seat us. Even getting our order in was difficult because our server rarely came by. There were only a few other tables and three servers total, so it didn't make sense. We had to wave multiple times just to get someone's attention. The biggest issue was when we ordered 3 lunch shrimp boils and added 1/2 lb of extra sausage. Each lunch is supposed to come with 1 corn, 2pcs sausage, 2 pcs potatoes, and 1 boiled egg. Naturally, we assumed ordering 3 lunches would mean three orders of all of that, and one of the bags would have the extra sausage. Instead, they put all the shrimp into one bag. Ok fine but then we noticed we only had 1 corn when we should've had 3 in there. Once we noticed we were short on corn, we realized we were short on everything else too, with 2 pcs potatoes, and 1 egg in the entire bag. When we brought it up, our server said we should have specified that we wanted three separate bags. That didn't make sense to us. We've ordered the same way at the Milpitas location and received 3 separate bags with all the included items in each. Even if they combined everything into one bag, it doesn't explain why we were missing sides or why we would want less sides. She did say she'd bring out the missing items, but again, it was difficult to get her attention. The servers were mostly standing behind the counter instead of checking on tables. We also noticed their lunch pricing varies depending on shrimp head-on or head-off, which is different from the other location (they charge the same for either) and the Stockton location is slightly more expensive for lunch too..maybe b/c they add an egg? The egg was also over boiled and almost grey inside (you know what I'm talking about!) The yolk just crumbled. The sauce though was consistent and that's what we love about Cajun Crackin. Same great flavor. Overall, we wanted to give this location a chance, but between the slow service, the pushback on what should have been a straightforward order, and the limited drink options, it just didn't leave a good impression.

Ok, its really just me but I found this little hidden gem tucked away in Lodi. I ordered the cheeseburger with fries and a coke. The hubby ordered the chicken sandwich and fries. Hands down one of the best burgers I ever had. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I asked for some jalepenos and added to my burger for a little spice. The patty was thick and juicy. Cant go wrong here. It was so good that a week later I was back and ordered the same thing. As a foodie, of course I tried my husbands chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. It was not dry and it was well seasoned. I'm a southern girl so proper seasoning is key. Ambiance: Loved the ambiance at the Brick House. A cross between Cheers and old school Italian.

We chatted for quite a while as we arrived shortly after they opened and before the crowd started to arrive. The food arrived quickly and Nathan checked on us often to make sure we were well taken care of. Parking: Parking is not horrible but like in any downtown you may have to walk a block or two.

We all agreed that she was lovely and were impressed with her energy when she came to greet us and throughout our meal. She was instrumental in us having such a good time. She made recommendations and answered all our questions about your menu for food and cocktails! We had the brussel sprouts, pork belly biscuits, sausage skewers and octopus salad for shareables. Then our entrees were 2 orders of scallops, salmon, duck and short ribs plus smashed potatoes, mushrooms and spinach. To end the meal, we tried the double chocolate cake, hazelnut affogato and hazelnut ice cream. EVERYTHING was fantastic - I usually have one thing to complain about but not tonight! If I had to it would be that I was stuffed at the end and couldn't eat more. Room 2 was a good vibe for us and was very quaint.

With live music playing nearby, it added to the overall setting. We started with the chicken croquettes--crispy and a strong opener. Drinks were mixed: I didn't care for the strawberry whiskey sour, but the staff handled it well and replaced it with a classic version that was much better. My partner's mimosa, topped with a dried pear, was a nice touch. For mains, the shakshuka was excellent. My mushroom-based eggs Benedict with truffle sauce was just okay--interesting, but not something I'd go out of my way to order again. Dessert (chocolate cake and coffee) was the highlight and a great finish. Service was attentive and accommodating throughout. Overall, a slightly upscale brunch spot that mostly delivers, with a few standout items and a few that fall short.
