Yesterday I had one of their seafood salads, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and you could tell it was made with care. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, fresh, and delicious seafood, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from their menu!

This is one of those places that really needs your Yelp help. It is located in an eclectic…read moreneighborhood, a very rural area called Mira Loma, but on a well-known, main thoroughfare. Google Maps turns you into a dusty asphalt driveway where, in the front is one stucco building that might have been someone's house at one time, and in the back is one very worn, almost sleazy, one-story building where three tiny Mom & Pop businesses compete for space. There is nothing fancy to see here, with the exception of the tiny, covered patio at the entry and a claustrophobic ordering counter on the other side of a sliding glass door. The patio walls are lined with bamboo, a couple taxidermied blue marlin, and some seaside-themed, tropical decor. There are maybe 4 tables and a cluster of chairs. I imagine, in the heat of the summer, it gets pretty hot and uncomfortable in here. And yet, reading the food reviews will make your heart go pitter-patter. Their specialty is mariscos with a Baja spin. Ceviche, shrimp cocktails, fish soup, fish tacos and burritos, to name a few. They also have swordfish and salmon on their menu. We came for the fish tacos and were we in store for a surprise! The chunk of fried fish in each taco was as big as a huge chicken tender. Our tacos were filled with moist, great tasting white fish (not tilapia)! The tortillas, hence, had to be the larger size, not street taco sized. The batter was crispy and exceptional, with a light, herbal flavor. The finishing touch was a pile of toppings, including shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, finely chopped cucumber, and an insanely delicious white crema-mayo sauce. I think the unexpected cucumber added a unique, refreshing element to an already excellent taco. The only downfall was that the corn tortilla fell apart before I could get it into my mouth. Heh, I can live with that...just give me a fork. If you thought the price of 1 taco ($4.50) was too expensive, you are wrong. One taco here is the equivalent of two tacos elsewhere. That's a great deal! This is not fast food. The fish is cooked to order. Plan on a wait. Although this is essentially a covered, outdoor dining enclosure with a dutch door style gate, please note. Pets are not allowed. There is no pet-friendly section, nor shady areas to park in their bleak parking lot. The irony of this was the number of off-leash dogs we saw wandering around the parking lot. We saw three small to medium sized dogs, and no owner. We ended up bringing our food and personna-non-grata pup home. They did a nice job with the fish tacos, and one of their customers assured me the fried and/or grilled shrimp tacos and mojo de ajo shrimp were excellent. This means only one thing...we shall return, but without the chihuahua fur baby.

Not a fan of the Ai slop advertisements…read more I am a regular of this place. I truly taste the higher standard of food Bengee sushi makes in its tempura set and the quality in fish. However. Constantly seeing it push Ai generated images on its menu and advertisements is a huge turn off. Taking a photo of their dishes is infinitely better because they plate their food much nicer than the competition already. If this restaurant is using Ai generated content to cut corners, am I led to believe they will cut corners in their ingredients next? I had to quit the loyalty program to stop seeing spam, because the photos are that unappetizing.

I am glad that there there is an option for boiled seafood in the area!…read more I purchased a pound of peeled shrimp, with 1 order of corn + 1 order of potatoes (3x), and an extra side of garlic bread at the end. I was extremely full at the end of the meal! I ordered mild seasoning, but I might ask for *no* seasoning next time. To be fair, this might be common for this style of cooking. Nevertheless, it might be nice to try the lemon pepper and garlic butter on their own. At first, I was apprehensive about eating the potatoes without utensils. However, I think they work well for dipping, and they are a better option than the garlic bread if you have something spicy (or mild). Either way, the corn paired nicely with the seafood. So, I may order an extra half a corn and/or consider ordering 1/2 pound of seafood next time (maybe without the potatoes). I also tried two of the flavored teas (passionfruit and peach), which were both excellent! Finally, I did not try them for this visit. However, if you are going with a group of friends, then there are also economical fried seafood options that I think looked like a good deal.

I love that they don't service you a common basket of chips with salsa, no they bring you whole fried tostada tortillas and crackers of course you get salsa too. I had the small "chico" shrimp cocktail and I got to add my ketchup to my taste. They gave you a choice of sauces on the table. My shrimp cocktail was by no means Chico, it was generously packed with shrimp and the veggies that are typical to a Mexican cocktail. I saw some other items I can't wait to try. The prices are compassionately priced but the serving are generous considering I have paid more and received less in other places. The servers are very attentive and sweet. La Cruda reminds me of the little places on the beaches in Puerto Rico. Instead they are on the shore of the 91fwy in Riverside. Check them out for a simple tasty seafood cocktail. I have been driving past and overlooking for much too long. A new personal fav for me! BTW, I took the picture after I ate more than half that meal.

There was so much meat packed into each taco that two were more than enough for a filling lunch. For under $10, especially since they also included chips and salsa, I thought it was a really good value. The steak was tender and juicy, but I actually liked the lengua even more. It had a really rich beef flavor and wasn't dry at all. My only complaint was that the lengua still had some of the outer skin attached. The texture honestly gave me a little bit of goosebumps while eating it . I really wish they had removed it completely. Other than that, the lengua itself was delicious. Great flavor, generous portions, and a very satisfying lunch for the price.

Unfortunately, the quality of the Thai food has severely suffered in the process. We ordered the Crying Tiger and specifically requested that the steak be cooked medium. Instead, it was served completely rare, which ruined the dish for us. The execution just was not there, and the Thai food overall was a huge letdown. From looking at their online profile and the menu details, it is clear they are now operating primarily as Seafood Boiler. We did not try the seafood boil, so I cannot speak to that side of the menu--perhaps that is where their focus is now. However, if you are coming here expecting good Thai food, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Save your money and skip the Thai menu.
