Laredo Surfing special. 1 crab cluster, 1 whole lobster tail, and 1/2 lb of headless shrimp with corn, potatoes and sausage. $38.

The food was excellent here. All the sauce my wife and I had were really good (medium Cajun and garlic butter). Edamame was good. Fried rice is outstanding and the side serving for $3 is unbeatable for portion and flavor. Same goes with the surfin Laredo special (1 whole lobster, 1 snow crab cluster, 1/2 lb of headless shrimp) for $38. Tons of flavor and the customer service was great. The value for your money here is good, and I'll definitely be eating here again soon. Also, for the headless shrimp, the shrimps are deveined which I had never encountered at any other seafood boil spot. That is top notch right there. I highly recommend this place.

Service was excellent. The beer was not ice cold which it must be. The food was delish except the lobster tails were over cooked so a bit chewy and for the price range I would like them perfect.

First time here. Really enjoyed the food and the service was great. The boil I had was seasoned nicely with just the right amount of heat. Everything I had was very good.

We enjoyed our kid's birthday dinner here. Our toddler was so excited when the staff sang her happy birthday and brought her a slice of cheesecake on the house. The staff was really nice, friendly and accommodating. The manager brought our toddler a sharpie to write her name on the wall. They have daily drink specials. It was a Friday and I had the Texas hurricane, it was sneak up on you good. My husband had a catfish poboy it was a huge yummy sandwich and the fish was fried to perfection. I had 1/2 lb snow crab legs and a 1/2 lb head off shrimp with the surfing special sauce, spice level "spicy". It packed some good heat, without killing the tastebuds. Our waitress was nice and packed my leftovers in a steam bag to go. I put the bag in a boiling pot of water for 10 minutes to reheat, without drying it out, the next day and it was as good as new. We will definitely return.

We love to order the Dungeness Crab. Its perfection. Flavor is on point!

See all

La Mariscana - Ostiones En Su Concha - one dozen

Labor Day 2023: I came here after hearing about this place from some colleagues at work…read more My goal was to compare their oysters and seafood cocktail against another place I visited last week. The oysters were good but the presentation was a bit off. They come out in a huge tray of ice which melted kinda quick - if you wait too long to have your oysters, you will be pulling them out of water. Also, the cocktail sauce that came with them was super watered down and messy to pour from the little cups it came in. The shrimp cocktail, though, was beautifully presented and delicious. It was topped with cilantro, red onion, and avocado. I relished every bite. Chips and salsa before the meal were good, too. The chips are dusted with some spicy powder which you can get hooked on, and the salsas were good and spicy. Unfortunately for me, though, I was exposed to Maroon 5, One Republic, and Bruno Mars songs blasting throughout the place. It felt kinda clubby, and not any club I would ever want to be in. All in all, though, not a bad place for seafood. I am definitely coming back after hearing about other entrees to try, especially their grilled octopus.

We arrived around 6 PM on a Friday and were surprised of how empty this place was. After eating and…read morethe drinks we are surprised even more. This place is too good to be this empty. I had a "Levanta Muertos" cocktail and a Huachinango (Red Snapper) plate. The food was awesome. Definitely coming back to this place. Looking forward to the other stuff on the menu
