Shrimp cocktail and shrimp tacos
Grace M.

Pleasant surprise! Food was delicious and came quickly. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

This little gem in Palmdale was great. The ambience was great for family meals. The michelada was savory, salty and the right amount of spice. The ceviche verde was delicious like the shrimp was 6 from the ocean just before prepared. The flan was rich and creamy. The service was very attentive and gave great suggestions.

We had the pleasure of returning to try their Menudo. The broth was clean, what I mean is that it was not greasy and the menudo did not have that terrible aftertaste that some other places have trouble removing. Their menudo includes hominy and I was able to distinguish the ingredients used in this hearty broth. The meal came with what I like to call "the works" (oregano, diced onion, cilantro, and roasted chile de arbol) and tortillas. At first sight, the bowl didn't appear to be big, but while eating, it felt like I wasn't even putting a dent in it. It felt like the bowl that keeps on giving and it took awhile to get to the bottom of it. The best way I can describe it is comfort and satisfaction in a bowl.

Camarones A la diabla
Margarita B.

Wow this amazes me that they charge $20.00 for this ala diabla plate of food. Only 6 shrimps it's a rip off. Beside the food being cold and getting my order wrong I won't be coming here again.

Came here for first time and the place did not disappoint. All of our food was great. Service was fast and attentive. The place has a cool vibe to it. Will definitely come back to try out the rest of their dishes.

3.5 I had the camarones a la diabla, didn't like them, the tomato flavor is overpowering and only had 6 shrimps in it. Also tried the aguachiles, those were better, came with 8 shrimps. The fajitas were decent, but they only bring you 2 tortillas, 3 shrimps. The cocktails were good, the small one came with 6 shrimps and large with 7 shrimps. I also tried the salmon, wasn't very flavorful, just tasted like fish, needed seasoning. Some of the plates needed salt so we added salt to the aguachile and cocktails, but it's better then it being salty. The fajitas were a bit salty. The flan was way to sweet, it was creamy but way to sweet. Hibiscus water was good. The drinks were ok, michelada and mango margarita. Current Menu prices on pictures below. The place is decent, good vibes. The restrooms were smelly and place needs a remodel or better cleaning, since theres food stains on the walls and so. Wait time on a Sunday was about 70-80minutes for group of 8. 2 groups were sat after us and they were served before us.

Was passing through and wanted a burrito and was about to go to Carl's Jr when I spotted this place. As soon as I walked in I immediately loved the smell and the look! I hate to use the word "authentic" so I'll just say this place is real! So, first impression was good. Next I found out they use chicken breast in the burritos...another great thing to know! I only eat chicken breast so this made me super happy! Then I got my food and I loved it! I'm a simple dude so I don't like wet burritos, so a basic burrito as big as my face is what I like. Great place!

Margarita on the rocks, DELICIOUUUS!
Sonia N.

We ordered a regular and a tamarindo margaritas. They were a jumbo size and very refreshing. The meat molcajete was very delicious. The meat, chicken and shrimp were very tender and fresh. It also came with nopales, cebollinos, queso fresco, guac and beans - tortillas. The place was nice and clean, looks more like sports bar with plenty TVs but it was not loud. The server was very pleasant and courteous.

Menudo with all the toppings they provided. 10/10 recommend.

Menudo was mid, not very flavorful. Staff was nice but they charged $9 for a side of chorizo. Literally cost more than our coffees. Insane

One of my dear friends recommended this place. I am a pescatarian, and always on a hunt for a place…read morethat satisfies my palate. Let's go! Outside there's plenty of parking. I came during the week and especially for the lunch special. It was kind of empty, and they had plenty of seating. The vibe is chill. I ordered the shrimp boil, and it came with a potato, corn, and white rice. It was only $13.99, and you get a pound of shrimp, and baby they are huge. They may be more like prawns. My friends ordered the same thing, but with milder sauce, and they also added links for I believe $5. They do make it to your liking, and I chose the extra spicy. If you like spicy HOT then you will enjoy it. Overall a wonderful experience, and a special thank you to our server Cici. Can't wait to return to this hidden gem.

Butcher paper are placed on our tables with menus following. We ordered Boba, strawberry smoothies (our smoothies weren't quite sweet enough, and something was missing to make them the best they could be), and Sprite (in a bottle). We also ordered two lobster tails, which came with two corn and two potato sides and Combo Grilled Platters. The lobster tails were generous, packed with meat and flavor. Rolling Crab offers a variety of flavors: Rolling Crab Classic, Louisiana Cajun, Lemon Pepper, and Garlic Butter. Bibs and gloves are available, and you can choose the lobster tails mild, medium, or super spicy, or go for the original. They come in buckets. The Combo Grilled Platters were generous portions, though we wished for more shrimp. The flavor was excellent, though. The restaurant was clean and cozy, with a small space that could easily accommodate a large group. We didn't feel rushed at all, even though it wasn't packed. We noticed a lot of takeout orders, but overall, the service was great, and the food was delicious. We're definitely planning to return!

I have a sensitive stomach, so finding a place where both my taste buds AND my stomach are happy is a big win. I can definitely say this is my new favorite spot! There were five of us, and we shared several wonderful dishes, including the Crazy Cajun Shrimp & Crawfish and Cajun Chicken & Shrimp, along with some po' boys I had never tried before. Everything tasted amazing. The food gave me the best food coma without feeling heavy afterward. The atmosphere was another thing I really liked. It felt nice and peaceful--a very chill and relaxing place to sit down, enjoy your food, and have a good time without feeling rushed. The service was friendly and welcoming too. Even the cook came out personally to ask us how we liked his cooking. I thought that was really cool and made the experience feel even more personal. Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. I will absolutely be coming back. I already can't wait for my next visit!

I haven't been here in a while. Last time I actually had a great experience. I came today to try…read moretheir lunch special. Inside appeared in to be remodeled and updated since my last visit although I may be wrong. I ordered it 30 minutes prior so I could do an easy pickup. I chose the boil with a half pound of shrimp with the head of course. It came with rice, potatoes, corn, and of course the shrimp. I got the garlic sauce, and made it spicy. My first impression without even eating it it looked divine. I could hardly wait to taste it when I got home. When I got home I got to taste, and it was bomb.com. I don't know if I'm exaggerated because of the price but it was good. Thank you crab and spice.

I am extremely disappointed with our experience here…read more We came in as a party of five. Three of us wanted the all-you-can-eat shrimp, while my daughter and nephew wanted the all-you-can-eat crab, which would have cost about $140 just for the two of them. We were then told that if those two ordered the all-you-can-eat crab, everyone at the table would be required to order the crab option. None of the other three of us wanted crab, so the only solution was to have our party split up and sit at separate tables. Then it got even more frustrating. The three of us ordering the all-you-can-eat shrimp were told that we all had to choose the exact same spice level/flavor because they bring the shrimp out together as one order. So even though each person is paying for their own all-you-can-eat meal, we apparently aren't allowed to choose how we want our own food prepared. That makes absolutely no sense to me. If I'm paying for my own meal, I shouldn't be told that I have to order a $70 crab meal simply because someone else at my table wants it. And if three people are each paying for an all-you-can-eat shrimp meal, each person should be able to choose the spice level they actually want. We came here expecting to enjoy a meal together as a family. Instead, we were told we had to split our party between different tables just to order what we wanted, and then were still told what we could and couldn't order. For an all-you-can-eat restaurant, there seem to be an awful lot of restrictions on what paying customers are actually allowed to eat. Very disappointing experience, and definitely not what I expected when bringing my family here.
