    Carne Asada burritos with everything :))))
    J Mickey C.

    Love the atmosphere. Reminds me of our yearly visit to Baja, Mexico. The owner is always so welcoming and genuinely wants us to enjoy our food every time we come here. Only place I've ever finished my burrito.

    Decided to try their menudo. It was really good! It had hominy which I like. The tortillas I am pretty sure are homemade. They have out door dining and the staff was very nice. I teally like the fact they have menudo everyday.

    1st time trying this place the food was delicious but the lady who took the order sounded a bit rude and when I got there it was same lady who took the order and was rude to invoice me out. Besides the lady the food is great and the atmosphere was good. The place was full of people. Will definitely try again.

    You might miss this place. From the outside it does not look very appealing. Located across the street from the train tracks. Very busy street and the parking is not the best. Seating inside is ample. It gives the Mexican restaurant vibe the minute you walk in. Their wall is lined with refrigerators full of beers and sodas. The day we visited it was full. They had the FIFA World Cup on their two screens. There were many people that are obviously regulars picking up orders. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was good. Well seasoned. Their salsas not too spicy but just the right kick in it. Definitely worth trying.

    My grandma has loved coming here for years . I always bring her here so she can get her fix of posole/ menudo . I love everything here . My brother gets the Aguaschiles. My dad gets the caldo de res . Really the variety is endless !!

    Finally found a great Mexican place to eat in Santa Clarita. Everything tasted fresh and delicious

    Shrimp cocktail with freshly made tostadas up front, chicken enchilada plate off to the right

    My buddy at the VA told me about this place nearly a year ago. Well it finally happened today. Nice ranchera music, friendly patrons. The menu was colorful. Several orders came out and they were eye-catching! My shrimp cocktail had ample delicious shrimp. Here's the deal, many places do not clean the shrimp. Neca does so a loud is appropriate!! Delicious, hearty and enough avocado, the salsa is really good so I spooned a few rounds into the the cocktail. Oh yeah,,, Paired with the micheladas and we made a fast getaway home to inspect the backs of our eyelids. Nelson, thanks for the warm welcome. We had a great time and next up will be pozole or langosta. See you soon. JJG

    The food was tasty. We had all are food to go. My husband and I had the huarache, carnitas taco, pastor taco, chicken taco, pork tamale, rice and beans. The prices were very reasonable. The proprietor Nelson was very friendly, happy guy. The establishment was clean and very brightly lit. This is a nice local Mexican food restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine at a reasonable price, this the place to go.

    One of my friends described Neca's as a slice of Mexico. The food is comforting - that taco or burrito you've been craving - it's exactly what you wanted. The dishes are authentic and the environment makes you feel like you're in a small town. The staff is kind and patient. They want to make sure you're happy. They're very hospitable. The takeout tastes as good as sitting in the restaurant. Kudos to the owner - food and service are fantastic!

The service was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our entire visit.

I ordered the burger, and it was delicious--great flavor and cooked just right. My kids loved their meals as well, especially the chicken tenders and fries and the mac & cheese. The drink I had was definitely hit the spot! LOL. And the dessert was a 10/10. I absolutely love crème brûlée, and that's definitely my weakness. We also loved the atmosphere. The restaurant is very well taken care of, updated, clean, and has a really welcoming feel. We will definitely be coming back to try some of the other dishes!

The restaurant itself was very nice, spacious, and had a pleasant atmosphere. Our waiter was okay--he did his job, and that's about all I can say about that, lol. Based on the menu description, I thought the chicken and waffles came with a sweet potato base, but unfortunately, they didn't. However, the chicken was fried perfectly and seasoned just right! The rest of the food was good, but not so amazing that we would come back for it. The pancake was also very cake-like, which wasn't quite what we expected or intended to order. Overall, it was a decent experience for our little birthday brunch, but probably a one-time visit for us.

I'm pretty sure the sausage and vegetables were added to the shrimp to equal a pound. I am totally disappointed with this mistake and I see the reason why the restaurant was empty on a Saturday afternoon. There was no way I could have gone back to return the item since I live quite far and I made the mistake of not checking before I left since the girl stapled the bag and sealed the container inside. The shrimp isn't cooked well either. Some of them were cooked for too long while others seemed almost raw. Bad quality.

There were about a dozen tables in this restaurant, so it was smaller than I expected, but it did not feel overcrowded in any way. Once seated, we were given menus and the Captain's Choice caught my eye, and the clam chowder caught my partner's eye. Our waiter came to take our drink order and said that they have Pepsi products (boo), which is different from what the menu states. I ordered a Pepsi and my partner got a Thai Tea. He then asked us if we were ready to order food, and we agreed. He asked if we were there for the AYCE or the regular menu. We weren't given an AYCE menu so we were thrown off, but he very quickly grabbed one. After seeing the AYCE menu, I believe I saw it was around $40/person with an additional $55/person upcharge for unlimited snow crab legs. I immediately started thinking if one person at the table does it then the whole table will probably have to and then we're looking at $95/person. My partner and I looked at each other with the same "we're not thaaaaat hungry" look so we opted to order of the a la cart menu. As previously mentioned, the Captain's Choice and Clam Chowder caught our eye so we ordered those dishes in addition to the cajun fries. We placed our order at 7:41pm, and our food was out by 7:51pm. A 10 min wait time is not bad at all! Our Captain's Choice had the Crab N Spice flavor, with the original spice level. It came with 1/2 lb of shrimp, 1 lobster tail, 1 snow crab cluster, 2 corns, and 3 potatoes. The sauce was good, but it needed the tiniest little extra kick. I could taste that it was almost there, but not quite. I completely blame us for this because we normally order Mild at other places, and this time we went Original. I firmly believe if we went Mild the sauce would have absolutely been perfect for us. Next time, we would also need to order rice too because I kept trying to soak it up with the potatoes. I will also note that the quality of the seafood was perfect. It didn't feel like it was still trying to be thawed from frozen, and it did not taste too rubbery. One thing that we thought was funny was the Christmas music playing in the background. If we are going to get in the holiday spirit in September, I would have hoped for some Halloween vibes, but it was still a family friendly environment. Our bill ended up being $83.95 after tax and before tip. In my opinion, this is a fair price when it comes to seafood (especially for a lobster tail and a crab cluster) and it fed two people. Overall, I was quite satisfied with our experience here at Crab N Spice. The food comes out fast, the service is friendly, and the quality and taste of the food is fantastic.
