YUMM - such fresh and delish seafood! We made a reservation for a party of 5 and 5pm on a Wednesday and were seated right away, as were the first seating of the night. We ordered almost one of everything and split it amongst our party. Some highlights: - Octopus Tostada: Plentiful for one serving! If I had to rec one thing, it's def their tostadas. - Fried Oysters: Tasted great and perfect as a shareable dish. - Razor Clams Aguachile: Really enjoyed this dish, as it had some citrus! Razor clams don't really have a taste, so the overall texture meshed well. - Lobster Ceviche: Beautiful presentation and I liked the little spice and pumpkin seeds to add texture and flavor. Comes with several big corn chips. - Seared Scallop + Scallop Aguachile: I like scallops done in any way, so I enjoyed both of these dishes. Not a must get, but both were good. - Fluke Ceviche + Shrimp Aguachile: I didn't care much for these dishes. They didn't wow me. Very attentive service and hospitable hostess. Would recommend for smaller parties simply for ease of sharing and conversation, but overall a nice spot for an elevated meal. read more

An experimental seafood side quest from Cosme Aguilar, the chef behind Casa Enrique--NYC's first Mexican restaurant to earn a Michelin star. All seafood menu and everything was very fresh. My favorites were the tostadas and the Mar y Tierra (scallops)--all bursting with flavor that melt in mouth The octopus/ shrimp tostada in particular was unique and unlike any tostada I've had, phenomenal pairing with the cocktail sauce, alioli, avocado, cilantro, cucumber and red onions. I wasn't the biggest fan of their most popular dish, the lobster ceviche. While it features a whole Maine lobster that was very fresh, the Mexican-influenced sauces leaned a bit heavy and creamy, and the flavors didn't fully penetrate the lobster--making the $78 price tag hard to justify. Not crazy about the razor clams, but the fried oyster was solid thanks to the chili aioli. Ambiance: very very crammed with barely any space. It's only about 12-15 seats in total, so be prepared to squeeze. We were elbow to elbow with the ppl sitting next to us read more

Food: 4 Decor: 4 Service: 5 Came here for dinner after making a res about a week prior. Overall, fantastic dinner and would definitely come back again. Was lucky and snagged a seat right in front of chef Aguilar. -- TOSTADA DE JAIBA -- Crab, citrus, avocado, tomato, chile serrano, cilantro, red onion (GF) (DF). 5/5. Delicious combination of salt, fat, acid, and heat with the crab, avocado, citrus, and chile on 2 mini tostadas. -- MAR Y TIERRA -- Seared scallops, homemade chorizo, hash potato, cashews, chipotle alioli, salsa verde (GF). 4/5. Nicely seared scallop, although I thought the dish overall was a bit heavy and could have used some acid to brighten it up. -- CEVICHE DE LANGOSTA -- Maine whole lobster, coconut, ginger, salsa macha, cilantro, cucumber, red onion (GF) (DF). 5/5. Delicious lobster and presentation. Complemented really well with all the ingredients. Service was excellent. read more

Quique Crudo - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

The space here is very tiny and crowded. I wouldn't really suggest coming here with a big group. Came here for dinner with reservations and wanted to order a variety of items. We got the lobster ceviche, scallops ceviche, seared scallop with chorizo, and enchilada Dona blanca. I thought the portions were a little bit small since it's more like tapas style. The best bite of the night hands-down was probably the seared scallop. I was so surprised how at the size of the scallop because it was humongous. It was so juicy and well seared that I feel like it didn't even need the cashews or chorizo or sauce. I could just eat an entire plate of those scallops bc it was so sweet and flavorful. Everything else was OK. The lobster ceviche looks really pretty in terms of presentation, but I felt like it was a bit tough and rubbery. I did like the scallops ceviche and the enchilada had a good amount of acidity to it. read more

We walked in to this restaurant on Halloween! It is a tiny, bustling spot in the West Village and even though it was quite crowded from the Halloween parade, the wait was not terrible. Their menu is on the smaller side but offers a lot of seafood focused options. We really enjoyed the guacamole with fresh tostadas. The seasoning was perfect and the salsa de arbol added a nice kick. All of the seafood dishes were good and very fresh. My only critique was that some of the flavors felt a bit repetitive as most things were garnished with avocado and radish. Overall a fun spot for a night out! read more

I loved my dinner at Crudo. I arrived about 15 minutes before they opened and got one of the few non-reserved seats. The place is small and gets packed. I started at the back facing the wall, but they moved me to the main bar near the window, which made all the difference from an experience perspective, as I was solo. I had the ensalada cesarin - their version of a Caesar, and while it meant trying one less fish dish, it was worth it. Great portion, delicious and refreshing. Second course was ceviche de pescado. They serve it with tostadas and it was amazing. The atmosphere is fun, great music and fast paced, you feel like you are in the hustle and bustle of Mexico City. read more

What an absolute charming little gem! Everything was just wonderful- the attentive service and the freshest seafood, prepared beautifully and with such care. The sweet shrimps and decadent scallops and the cheese ice cream topped with olive oil, are to die for. From the moment we stepped out, we've been craving a return! read more

Mexican Seafood tiny spot that's always crowded. Finally came on a day at 530pm luckily no need to wait. My favorite was the Seared Scallop dish, each ingredient just so tasty together,very balanced. Second fav was the Octopus Tostada. Maine Live Scallop itself was good but the sauce was a bit too salty for me. Crab Tostada unfortunately everything else outshined the crab, couldn't really taste the crab :/ Fried Oyster seems more like fried brined oyster? Not as expected because menu wasn't clear. Maestro Martini was a bit weird, didn't really have the coconut water taste but just water down olive juice flavor. Honestly I thought pricing is a bit steep for the portion. read more

The only reason they get two stars is the lobster ceviche and the seared scallop which were yummy enough to mention but not good enough to return to this restaurant. I'm super confused where the stars came from and if the people who left these reviews have eaten anywhere else. Service was great the lady was attentive. The counter wall side is a disgrace to human nature. They should show visuals of what we should expect because Jesus Christ not only were we banged in the back every .18 seconds. I would never come back here, the food is picture worthy but not for consumption. Please take the chicken mole off the menu. We sent the entire dish back 3 min after receiving and no one batted an eye. read more

Small walk-in only spot in the village specializing in Mexican Ceviche and seafood! Sister restaurant to Casa Enrique, so was super excited to try. Came with a friend on a Tuesday around opening (a little before 5pm), and got in no problem. It did fill up fast though since there are only ~15 seats in the entire place, so would recommend getting there early. Food itself is fantastic and so fresh! Here's a quick rundown of what we split: -Aquachile Negro (Maine live scallop): super fresh and sweet! Sauce compliments the flavor of the scallop beautifully. Also I'm a huge raw scallop fan so this was a huge win for me. -Mar y Tierra: huge seared scallop on a delicious hash of potatoes and chorizo. The scallop was so juicy and delicious. Probably my favorite bite of the night. -Tostada de Pulpo: octopus was perfect and these tostadas were really tasty and very saucy but still crisp. -Enmoladas: basically chicken mole, which was delish. Mole sauce is incredible. Definitely a heavier dish. -bonus Coco Mojo cocktail (tropical and refreshing!) they have a hugeeee cocktail list so there's something for everyone. Overall everything was super tasty and fresh. I will say the portion size is on the smaller side and pricey (~$24/dish), but the quality is top notch. Between two girls the 4 dishes above were perfect for dinner, but was on the lower end of how many dishes they recommended ordering (2-3 per person). Service was fantastic though and they pay a lot of attention to allergies. read more

A wonderful walk in spot that I had always heard about, I just never realized how TINY the space would be. The wait was only about 1.5 hours on a Friday night which is fine because there are plenty of the spots in the area you can just grab a drink before. Just know when you're in there, you will be cramped. All the seating is basically bar counter, whether you're at the bar or on the table against the wall. The servers were all lovely and gave great recommendations, and you really can't go wrong with anything you order. All the seafood tastes bright and fresh, and even the meat options were delicious. I'm not sure I would go again but it was definitely memorable and delicious. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out for a loooong time, but with the no reservation policy and with such a tiny space and long-ish wait times, I kept putting it off. I finally managed the snag a walk in on a weekday night (it was a holiday). We walked in around 5:30pm and waited around an hour before we got seated at the bar. First off, service was fantastic!!! The chefs give great recommendations and cater to food allergies well. Ambiance was cutesy but veryyyyy tiny and dark. Food and drinks were AMAZING!! Really lived up to the hype!!!! - Lobster ceviche: 100000/10 (omg the lobster ceviche is bombbbbbbb!! Truly the freshest and juiciest lobster in a tangy sauce. This is a MUST order.) - Tostada: 10/10 (yummy tostadas! Perf to start off the meal.) - Ceviche in guava sauce: 10/10 (ok the guava sauce was sooooo refreshing and good!! Kinda wish we had some cilantro to balance out the flavors, but my friend didn't like cilantro so we had taken it out) - Scallops: 9/10 (yummy scallops on top of grounded beef(?) and a creamy sauce. It was definitely more filling than the other dishes) - Mezcal sour: 1000/10 (omg this is the BEST mezcal sour I've ever tasted!!!! The creaminess really blends with the smoky mezcal flavor) Ok I really need to go back and try out the other dishes. Can't wait to be back! read more

Everything here was a 10/10! Was especially impressed by the razor clams, ceviche de pescado, and the lobster ceviche.

I was initially a bit apprehensive of having to line-up for a chance to dine in their (notably small) establishment as they don't take reservations but was pleasantly surprised that we only had to be ~15-20 minutes early to be the second party in line. We were promptly seated at the bar (highly recommend coming early if you'd like to be facing the bar/kitchen vs the wall/window) and given a quick rundown of the ~5 special items they had on hand. Our waitress recommended ordering 3-4 items per person which we would agree with unless you are getting primarily larger items such as the salad or lobster. All of the items were delicious but the stand-outs to me were the tartare (which was rich, flavorful and filling) as well as the razor clams. Both felt reasonably priced compared to some of the other menu items and were beautifully presented. My partner and I noticed that many of their dishes used a pleasant portion of this (avocado?) sauce which you'll notice once you order. I'd recommend skipping the bone marrow as you'll only have enough food/meat to have a few bites. Their dessert was also fantastic and a must-get if you go! read more

Quique Crudo is the hottest kid on the block. Literally. Strolling down this stretch of Bedford St on a Friday evening, I saw staff from neighboring, nearly empty restaurants staring forlornly and longingly at the never-ending crowd in front of Quique. It was....awkward. And Quique knows just how to style itself. They take no reservations--you have to walk in, sign up and pray to Dios that you'll get contacted before your stomach eats itself in the next two hours. Is the food worth the wait? Some of it is. Our Tostada de Pulpo y Camaron was our best dish, full of fresh seafood pieces, a cocktail sauce that for once wasn't too sweet or tart, and perfectly prepared accompaniments. The Ceviche de Pescado was a well-done classic that felt like a bite of summer. The beautiful Aguachile Verde de Navajas was Instagrammable loveliness, but the clams were too chewy for my liking and the marinade was lackluster. The special of Soft Shell Crab had a great smokey sauce, but the portions were a bit small for the price. Our biggest disappointment was the much-touted Mar y Tierra: not enough scallop and too much cashew filler instead of hash potato and chipotle. Expect Manhattan prices as well. Though the menu is mostly small plates for sharing, most dishes are $25+. Sigh. I probably could've forgiven my quibbles with the food if we hadn't been packed like sardines. Quique Crudo is the classic NYC conundrum of too many people packed into too small a space (and probably too high rent). We had the last two seats at the bar next to the restroom, and no more than 5 minutes went by without me being jostled by one of the staff entering and exiting the kitchen (despite trying to sit as far from the corner as possible). It was a good thing it was a warm night because there would have been no walking room if people were still waring their winter coats. In a nutshell: The restaurant ambience is a fire hazard waiting to happen. I'm guessing most people forgive the claustrophobia because they love the food, but since it was hit or miss for me, I just couldn't. Won't be back unless they move to a bigger space. read more

What a fantastic meal. A modern take of Mexican seafood tapas. Every bite is an explosion of flavors. The seafood are very fresh and the sauce is the best, I can just eat the sauce by itself The whole lobster is a bit pricy but definitely my favorite of them all. The size of the lobster is not small and the sauce pair so well with the lobster. There was the soft shell crab in the special, it was worth a $36, and we ordered a second one because it was so good. Seared scallop is huge size and perfectly cooked and still juicy. Razor clam is chopped to small pieces all very clean. The space is very tight, the seats by he wall is a bit tough to sit and eat. Recommend to wait for the bar seat. The table cleared out around 9pm on the weeknight I went. The service is top notch, all the staffs are friendly and attentive. The price tag is high but it's worth every penny read more

I will go back to Quique every time I'm in the city. This was the most delicious meal I've had in a while, and the whole menu aligned with foods I love. We got here 10 mins before they opened and were seated at the bar. This is where you want to be as it'll feel cramped otherwise. Service was efficient and professional. Once we ordered all our food, we were fed consistently. All the tostadas and ceviches were excellent. I didn't love the mar y tierra, but I get why others would. My friend and I ordered 6 dishes and the tres leches between us. I only wish we had an appetite for more food, but admittedly I wouldn't want to split each dish with more than one other person. They also had a few specials in addition to their regular menu. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went here recently and thought the food was good overall. Portions were what I expected them to be and the flavors were great and cohesive together. We ordered a variety of dishes but the photo here shows my favorite one we ordered! Service was decent but unfortunately we were seated at a side bar area where there was minimal foot room since it is flush against the wall. I think our experience would have been better if we were at the main bar seating instead. read more

The fried oyster, crab tostadas and razor clam is my favorite. Caesar salad is alright. Poblano pepper is up to personal preference. I didnt like it but my bf did. Would come back to try other things. The aguachile margarita was very good. The space is a bit tight when its full house. I dined around 6:30 wednesday so it was not completely full until 7pm. I really appreciated the dining at the bar with the open kitchen. All the servers and bartenders were very attentive. Overall, this place is worth trying.

Quique Crudo - Lobster ceviche - Cocktail Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Short review/recommendations- Enmoladas, Ceviche De Langosta (Atún if available,) Steak Tartare. To a lesser extent- Aguachile Verde De Navajas, Mar Y Tierra. All were tasty though. A sister restaurant to Casa Enrique, Quique Crudo is an excellent little spot specializing in Mexican seafood or more particular, a raw bar though there are some excellent meat and cooked seafood options. They get quite crowded and don't have much room at all even by NYC standards but if you're looking for fancier well flavored composed Mexican seafood, I can't think of a better place right now. To drink, I had a cocktail/cóctel from their extensive menu which was the Noche Buena Mezcal with Mala Santa Mezcal Espadin, fresh orange juice, fresh lime juice, and brown simple syrup which was $18. The drink also came with a tajin rim on the outside and it was very tasty with it having a nice sour-sweet mix from the juices with a subtle nice smokiness from the mezcal. They recommend people order two to three dishes a person so 7-8 for our party of three but we made due with what we ordered with me adding an extra dish as one of the specials sounded excellent. The first thing that arrived was the Aguachile Verde De Navajas for $25 with Cape Cod razor clams, cucumber, lime, red onion, cilantro, chile serrano, and avocado. As per all seafood, the raw razor clams were very high quality with some citrusy notes and as per the word, aguachile, the dish had a kick to it but it didn't overpower the rest of the ingredients. This was tasty and I would recommend two people to share this or three if each wants to have one piece. Soon arriving was Ceviche De Langosta which was market price/$MP (I believe around $50) with Maine whole lobster, coconut, ginger, salsa macha, cilantro, cucumber, and red onion with it also coming with some totopos/fried nixtamal chips. The lobster had a nice supple bite to it due to it being partially cooked from the ceviche juice with the light coconut flavor adding to the natural sweetness of said lobster. The slight spice and smokiness from the salsa macha made the dish helping to reduce the sweetness and balance everything out. Even with the price point, I would recommend it heavily. The last raw seafood dish ordered was a special of the day which was the Tuna Ceviche (or rather Ceviche de Atún) for $25 or so with said raw tuna, guava, yuzu, lemongrass, pistachio, and serrano. I'm using not usually the hugest fan of guava as I find it to be a bit too sweet but with the other citrusy flavor, it worked nicely with the yuzu and lemongrass adding a touch of sourness for balance. The large pieces of tuna melted in my mouth and the bit of crunch from the pistachio worked nicely. This was excellent as well. We also got two orders of the Tostada Steak Tartare for $22 with peanuts, capers, chives, cornichons, parsley, shallots, grain mustard, and salsa macha. The steak was roughly cut within the tartare adding a nice texture with there being some crunch, some sourness, and a little smoky bite from the salsa macha. It was tasty overall. There was also the popular Mar Y Tierra for $28 with seared scallops, homemade chorizo, hash potato, cashews, chipotle aioli, and salsa verde. The plump scallops were nicely seared though I found the chorizo less spiced than usual. Surprisingly, the potatoes paired nicely with the scallops and the mix with the meat was a fun spin on chorizo y papas. This was not my favorite but it had good contrasts. The last main dish was the Enmoladas for $24 with chicken, black beans, mole, crema, queso fresco, onion, and avocado. The mole is apparently Mole de Piaxtla which is the same Puebla style mole used at Casa Enrique and is made with dry peppers, almonds, raisins, plantains, sesame seeds, chocolate, and other ingredients. The mole was of excellent quality with a good subtle bitterness along with some sweetness and savoriness with the shredded chicken being tender. This was excellent and a worthy main for those who don't want seafood. We didn't bother with dessert though the Pastel de Tres Leches sounded good. The price point might be high but as said by a local place by me, fresh fish isn't cheap and cheap fish isn't fresh. Overall excellent quality with equally excellent drinks. I would definitely go back even with the cramped space as the quality of the food was that good. read more

Incredible! The best high-end Mexican food I've ever had. Loved the octopus and shrimp tostadas and lobster ceviche. The lobster ceviche is a whole lobster! It's taken out of the shell so it's very easy to eat and delicious. Also, incredible homemade ice creams! I was going to get all 4 but decided to start with 2, which was a good idea because they are big! I may go back another night just for dessert.

4.5 stars! The food here is delicious. For two people we ordered five savory dishes and two desserts. Loved the octopus tostada, fried oysters, chicken mole and Mar y Tierra (scallop with chorizo). Whatever you do don't skip desserts - both the tres leches cake and cheese ice cream (trust) were A+! Expected to enjoy the scallop aguachile more - it was exceptionally small and the sauce tasted like soy sauce? Keep in mind this place is small and operates solely on a walk-in basis. We came at 7:30 on a Saturday and were quoted a 3 hour wait - ended up being seated within 90 minutes. Also, don't be deceived, though the vibes are of a casual neighborhood spot the meal gets pricey quickly given small portion sizes and expensive ingredients (high quality seafood). While I'm not sure if the service levels - while not bad - matched the price point, I'd definitely say the delicious food is worth it! read more

awesome food, mexican seafood, lots of ceviches/aguachiles, lots of flavor. Drinks were ok, service was great. Space is extremely tight, even for NYC. Favorites were the shrimp aguachile, the black scallop aguachile, the ceviche, and the tostadas. walk in only read more

I dined here a long time ago....I'm always on the look out for exceptional food and service and I thought I found it since it was rated so highly.. Sadly, I did not enjoy my meal as well as others. It was one of the worst meals I ever had. I didn't want to be the first person to give it a bad rating so I didn't complete my review for a long time. We got there around 7pm, no wait. We got the last two seats... we should've waited to sit at the counter. The place is tiny, not much room to maneuver. That alone, I can't recommend it to others if they wanted a comfy environment. Counter space and some seats when you enter and some seats against the wall. We normally would never consider places like this but again it was so highly rated.. The bathroom is also...so tiny, it's like a larger port-a-potty. The water from the faucet splashed onto the floor. They even kept the soap high above since there wasn't any space! We sat at the only available 2 seats. Right next to the bathroom. Fantastic. Anyway.. to start. Water... the options are..sparkling or still, so L chose sparkling. I don't drink tap. We received a bottle of Topo Chico $8 which fyi has really high lvls of PFAs. I had a few sips. The waitress was really nice and explained that everything is small portions and that we should order 5 dishes to share but we actually spent almost $200 on HH nearby so we weren't really hungry; we wanted to try a few items since we were just literally around the corner. We ordered Ceviche de Langosta ($59) and Mar y Tierra ($28). Prices at the time... I tried a mezcal Negroni and I ordered a coco mojo for L cuz he doesn't drink much. The Negroni actually tasted pretty good at first but it sobered me up instantly. I didn't finish it. After a while it just tasted weird and why drink it if I can't get drunk from it. I really wasn't a fan of the food. Mar y Tierra is one of the most popular dishes, the waitress recommended it and you can see everyone posts pics as well. The scallop, seared perfectly, that is delicious on its own. Once paired with the sauce and the pointless nuts, that's where they lost me. I had one bite and I was good, I literally did not want more.. Mind you, it's just four small bites of food for almost $30... Ceviche de Langosta...another popular dish..I was completely disappointed with the flavors. I seriously could not tell what I was eating. The lobster wasn't sweet or buttery. I didn't want more than two bites. I didn't like the sauce. $59. Yes it's a tiny lobster. I don't even care about the price, I just wanted some really good seafood. If it was even $59 for the best bite I ever had in my life I wouldn't even complain but I could honestly say it was close to the one of the worst lobster dish I've ever had. It was a bit under seasoned as well and I'm on a low sodium diet, but the lobster was just so bland and the sauce really didn't go well with it. I think I enjoyed the fried tortilla chip the most out of everything I tried. Not that I'm saying the chip was great.. It was pretty hard, but still better than the rest of the food. Maybe they had an off night but I heard some people really enjoyed their food but they sat on the counter so they had a better visual experience. Interacted with the chef, staff. Based on just taste alone, we didn't enjoy our meal. Taste is subjective, but we are "foodies". We have eaten a lot of different foods from all cultures... from hole in the walls to 3 star Michelin restaurants.... Few hundred for this meal, plus $200 for the meal we had 2 hrs before. My review based solely on the food. I literally review restaurants for people not for money or followers. I hated the food here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.. The service was 5 stars. The one waitress that served the entire place. Great job. Again so cramped, barely able to move...we left asap. read more

Run here! Would be shocked if they didn't get a star this year. The food, service and cocktails are phenomenal. It's an intimate space that's walk-in only. We put our names in around 6pm and were sat at 8pm. Sitting at the counter is awesome, you get to watch the chefs work with such precision and focus. We got to chat with the chefs, bartenders and other staff, really making your evening here a memorable experience. The staff does not rush you out either, we were here for 3.5 hours! Now for the food, I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with anything. The scallops, steak tartar, fried oysters, and lobster were out of the world. Try everything! Overall I'd highly recommend for a date or catching up with a friend. Given it's very small and they don't take reservations, I would not recommend for groups. read more

Awesome lobster but mar y Tierra was the best dish I had this year. Would 100% come back to try more ceviche

I was really really impressed by this spot. Made by the same guy who created Casa Enrique, Queque Crudo serves some of the freshest and yummiest seafood in the city. The restaurant is really small, with maybe twentyish seats available. It's also walk-in only, and on a weekend night the wait was about 15 minutes, not bad but perhaps we got a little lucky as we were originally quoted a 30-45 minute wait. The seats are pretty much exclusively bar seating, which will probably be a turn off for some (though I recommend you look past that). The menu focuses on Mexican seafood dishes, think ceviches, tostadas, and aguachile. The restaurant also has a rotating menu of specials. From the specials, we ordered the razor clams ceviche, which was chopped, marinated, and served on the shell. It was delicious. Actually, everything was delicious. I absolutely loved the shrimp aguachile and the oysters were some of the freshest I had. Also, the margarita I had here was awesome. I cannot stress how good this place is.
