It's in a small strip with parking spots across the street from McDonalds. It should be very easy to find. The menu can be a little overwhelming coming here the first firm. The owner was so incredibly sweet. She helped me decide on mixed ceviche and a fruit cocktail. She asked about the spice level I'd like, if I wanted mango in the ceviche, and toppings for the fruit. The portions are huge! It's seriously enough for 2-3 people to share. Lots of shrimp and octopus in the ceviche. Everything was prepared fresh after I ordered it. Very cute and clean. They had a TV in the corner playing a new Netflix show. I'll come back to try the elote or raspados. Definitely give this place a try if you like seafood!

If you're looking for some goooood ceviche, this is where it's at!…read more Botanas La Cruda is located amongst the many delicious restaurants along Springs Rd., and I honestly would have never spotted it in the first place if I hadn't stopped by Bula Pies next door. Recently came here to pick up a tray of shrimp ceviche and a small octopus ceviche for a family party. Service was phenomenal! The lady who took our order was so sweet and patient while she explained the different sizes and pricing for the trays. Her two other colleagues were in the back working quickly to get our order and the previous order ready. You could see how they were preparing everything in the kitchen, so you know everything was super fresh! A half tray of shrimp ceviche cost us about $100, which may seem on the pricier side, but honestly so worth it and you get a pretty good amount of shrimp in it! Didn't get to try the octopus ceviche but from what my cousin told me, it was just as delicious. Botanas La Cruda has such a variety of delicious menu items, it's so hard to choose what to get! Obviously, you can't go wrong with any of their ceviches. I also really love their bionico if you're looking for something sweet. They have elote which is classic and always tasty! And just personal preference, I love tostillocos, so you can never go wrong with an order of that. The restaurant is pretty small, but it's decorated really cute inside. There are a couple tables set up both inside and outside, and you can seat around 2-3 people at each one. They share a small parking lot with Bula Pies, but there's usually plenty of spaces available there or next door at 7-Eleven. Highly, highly recommend coming here and trying out whatever catches your eye on their menu. Whether it's a sweet summer treat, or a fresh order of seafood ceviche, you're bound to find something tasty to eat!

I am submitting this complaint regarding an unprofessional and unacceptable customer service…read moreexperience I had with Bag O' Crab in Vallejo, California. On 4/14/26 at 6:45pm I placed an order with this establishment. After receiving my food, I encountered an issue with my order. I called the restaurant to address the problem and seek a resolution. When my call was answered, the employee did not initially identify herself. I had to ask for her name, at which point she stated her name was Jasmine. I found it unprofessional that she did not provide a basic introduction when answering the phone. I then requested to speak with a manager regarding my complaint. Jasmine refused to provide the manager's name when I asked, which immediately raised concerns about transparency and accountability. After insisting, I was eventually transferred to the manager. Once the Manager came to the phone his introduction was bag o crab, I asked for his name. The manager refused to provide his name when asked. For appropriate customer service and documentation purposes I needed to know who I was speaking with but he continued to refuse. Shortly after I requested his name again, the manager rudely refused and hung up on me.This behavior was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. At no point was I provided with assistance, or any effort to resolve the issue with my order. This experience demonstrated a complete lack of customer service, accountability, and professionalism. Refusing to identify oneself as a manager and hanging up on a customer attempting to resolve an issue is unacceptable. My order was horrific. My experience was horrific and I wasted my money.

Here are the things we liked and also one little critique from something that changed from then to now: Salt and pepper pork chops: these are super good. Nice and crispy and the pork is tender. Salt and pepper fish: I always go for salt and pepper fish anywhere I go and this by far is the best one! Mapo Tofu: they do it really well here. It's perfection and hubby's fav Siu Mai: definitely great! Would get again for sure. We don't have dim sum in Vallejo so this amazing that they have this. Dry beef chow fun: now, I have been on the hunt for chow fun that reminds me of my childhood and what we used to get in SF/chinatown. This was the closest! The first time we got it, omg. Mind blown!! We got one other time before things changed. The third time we got it and even this evening, it's not the same for sure. I have a knack for remembering taste and this is not the same anymore. If anything it tastes spicy in a way they added more black pepper? Something in there is giving it that flavor. It's also darker than before like more soy sauce. I'm a little sad by this. Probably the last time I will get it. I got it tonight in the hopes it would go back to normal and the last time was a one off. Sadly it was not. The guy owner (I think he's the owner) is really nice and welcoming. If you read this, please fix the chow fun :(

Just about everything here is made to order (fish, wings, pretty much the whole menu), so patience is part of the deal when ordering at the counter. If you're in a hurry, calling ahead or using DoorDash is always an option. For lunch, I ordered a 2-piece catfish with collard greens and candied yams to dine in, plus a chicken wing and fish combo with fries to go. One thing I really appreciated was that they didn't fry the to-go order at the same time as my dine-in meal. That meant everything was piping hot and fresh when I walked out the door. The catfish is my usual go-to and it never disappoints -- perfectly fried, well seasoned, and consistent every time. The kind of seasoning that makes you feel like someone's uncle back there is cooking from the soul. The collard greens are tender, flavorful, and always hit the spot. And the candied yams? Honestly more like dessert than a side -- sweet, comforting, and absolutely worth ordering. Yes, it can feel a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it.

We were not asked what parts we wanted and ended up with very large wings. A hickup with the gumbo. In our opinion it was too thick like thick gravy. Not pourable to mix well with rice. We added water and reheated. It also had a crab arm\ pincher that needed to be cracked. If we didnt have a tool at home we would have had to discard the crab uneaten. Potato salad was great as was the pecan pie. I wanted to give this place five stars because of the workers enthusiasm about their business. I hope I can convince my wife to go back.

I ordered the oxtails, rice and gravy and collard greens. The oxtails were mid. The were a little tight and light skinned meaning they needed to brown a little more. There was not enough gravy for the rice. The collard greens were mid also. Ambiance: The restaurant was nothing special but lets face it -- we dont go to black soul food restaurants for ambiance. We go for good food and Noonies disappointed for food. Service: The service was cool. Nothing special but a pleasant interaction. Parking: Decent parking in front of the building. Overall: It's cool! Not for me but might hit the spot for me. Also, I got my food shortly after they opened and perhaps some of the food was not fully cooked to its best. That said, again, not for me!

I was also offered water. The food came out fresh and super quickly! They included chopsticks and napkins in a cute branded paper bag. The poke was really good! I think for the basic mexi Cali poke it was $19.90. The portions are definitely worth the price! There's also the option for add ons. The fish was very fresh. They have more than just poke!

Their pizzas come loaded with toppings, veggies, and meats depending on what you order, and they definitely don't skimp. I've also tried the Parmesan chicken sandwich, and it's pretty good. Definitely worth ordering if you're not in the mood for pizza. If you're looking for a relaxed place to grab food and drinks with friends or enjoy a casual date night, this is a solid choice. Just be patient when ordering pizza because it can take a little while to come out, but it's worth the wait. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was laid back, and the portions are satisfying.
