    Shrimp Fish (4) 'n' Shrimp (8) 'n' Chips
    Flor M.

    Oh yes, you need to try this place. This hidden gem inside Tyler Market is worth the trip. I tried the shrimp fish n chips and it was definitely worth every penny! $16 and you get sooo much food that's shareable for two. Let me break down this fried deliciousness. Sauces- you might want to order extras because the tartar sauce is off the charts and the cocktail sauce is just as amazing. So which is better? I will let you decide because I absolutely love both. Fish- being fried it actually is not greasy at all and the fish is cooked to perfection. They are huge pieces and are sooo good. Flavor by itself is great, but the sauces take it to another level. Shrimps- big and juicy and cooked perfectly. Some places give you more breading than shrimp but not this place the breading to shrimp ratio is on point. The owner is such a sweetheart. He truly takes pride in cooking each item perfectly. He is detailed in his craft that he even cuts a hole out at the top of the container to release the steam so you don't end up with soggy shrimp or fish. This place is truly awesome and if you try it out I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I look forward to trying the other menu items.

    Mix Seafood Tray

    I always see this establishment popping up on my Yelp food search & I was curious to see how Cajun seafood would taste from a small neighborhood supermarket. On a whim I called for togo and got the mixed seafood tray and it was massive. It was more than enough for 3 people. You really get the bang for your bucks and it really does the job if you're craving seafood. It's a little salty in my opinion but my neighbor and fiancé enjoyed it.

    This place is located inside the small market. When you walk into the market, it's straight ahead and you'll see the big menus above. I ordered through UberEats and went there to pick up. I honestly wasn't expecting much because I've never heard of this place before or knew of its existence if it wasn't for UberEats. I ordered 2 lbs for shrimp and 2lbs of clams, with 2 corns. The older asian gentleman in the front was very polite and friendly. He even gave me more corn for free. All the seafood tasted fresh and the mild sauce was indeed mild. The sauce wasn't too salty and had a good amount of garlic. The shrimp was a bit smaller than I hoped, so that was the only thing I would complain about. I loved that they packed all the limes, salt/pepper containers, and hot sauce. They were generous with the limes. They even included plates and utensils-- had everything we needed. I really appreciate that! I definitely will be coming back here to support this small business as oppose to going to Boiling Crab. Shoutout to the gentleman for his wonderful customer service!

    Fish (4) Shrimp (8) & chips. Very tasty. Crunch held up to the ride from the store to our dinner destination. Also had a side of corn on the cob. Possibly previously frozen, but was also quite good. We will come again. Oh this is located inside a small market. Very nice and friendly gentlemen that attended to us.

    I was craving Cajun Seafood the other day, so my wonderful bf bought us a whole tray. Can't believe this whole thing only costs like almost $60. I thought that was such a great deal for this whole variety. It made such a satisfying dinner and lunch for the next day. This hidden gem is called Cajun Shrimps Inn and it's located at Tyler Market in El Monte, CA, go check it out!

    All of the reviews are from one year ago. We went yesterday and ordered take out, ordered a party tray of Cajun shrimps, it did not taste like Cajun shrimps at all. It's lack of butter, and garlic ( just a bit of garlic and it's minced not fresh ) instead they put some kind of herb or too much thyme we don't know what it is just doesn't take like Cajun shrimps. The service was excellent, serviced by two brothers, but I think the owners changed, it wasn't the same owners as it used to be. I'd pay more or drive to Stinkin crawfish or other Cajun shrimps places.

    Was feeling ragin for cajun and this place is pretty local. Don't expect to eat there because this is located in Tyler grocery store and there isn't any tables. It took about 30 minutes to make once I ordered and it was total worth it. I got the seafood mix tray for $54 dollars and it literally comes with everything you'd want (shrimp, mussels, clams, sausages, corn, potatoes, fish cakes, and imitation crab), enough for 4-6. They don't skimp out on portions here but the best part is that the food tastes delicious. The sauce isn't overpowering but strong enough cajun flavor. We got spicy and it was just the right amount, not bad at all. Overall I'm totally going to come back here for cajun food. I would call ahead if you don't wanna wait though.

    After trying Cajun Shrimps Inn, twice, through UberEats, I finally decided to stop being lazy and share my two cents. Both experiences were great. I've ordered the shrimp, clams, seafood tray, and fish and chips. I really enjoyed the flavor of their sauce, as it's flavorful, has a lot of garlic for some crunchy goodness, and isn't super greasy. I had the sauce in mild, which is not actually spicy, but happens to be perfect for my preference. (Ability to tolerate spice went downhill after entering my 30s. ) I love topping a bowl of jasmine rice with spoonfuls of their sauce. In addition to the delicious food, I appreciate how careful and thoughtful they are with the preparation and packaging of the food. My orders arrived piping hot each time, and I loved that they included plenty of all the essentials to accompany the meal ( i.e., lime, salt & pepper, cocktail sauce, plates, napkins, and gloves.) They also left me a handwritten "Thank you!" on both of my orders. I'm so glad I gave Cajun Shrimps Inn a chance after scrolling past them on UberEats since last year, and I look forward to supporting them and making my tummy happy again.

    It's a small little spot located in a mini grocery mart. It is next to a laundry mat. Looks can be deceiving with the area don't write this place off because the meal was pretty tasty. I had ordered my food through gun hub to pick up and was ready a few minutes before. I ordered Spicy shrimp and Cajun fries with a side of corn. My kid loved the corn. Everything was hot and tasty. And the service was fine there no long line they ask the name and hand you the bag. Staff was wearing gloves and masks and there was hand sanitizer if needed.

    Gave this place a try because of the reviews on Yelp and Facebook. All them reviews must have been from friends n family because the food was not good. Since this was my first time, I went and ordered at the counter so I know it was fresh. And I only live 10 minutes away. I ordered 1 lb of shrimp spicy and 1 lb of mussel very spicy and both tasted mild with barely an sauce to dip the seafood in. Also the seafood was way over cooked which made it taste rubbery. Like chewy on a condom. Fries were okay. I guess it was $50 donation to small business since we didn't finish the food. Extra star for owner reaching out!

    Sooo Fresh!! Sooo tasty!! I will definitely go back!!

    Soooo tasty!!!! The seafood here definitely tasted much fresher than Boiling Crab, maybe because they just opened but I really enjoyed it. I will definitely go back some more!

    My husband and I were in the mood for cajon seafood. After calling boiling crab with no answer, we searched local cajon seafood restaurants and came across this gem. The location can be deceiving, but you won't regret stopping by. Tom is the owner and cook for the Cajon Shrimp Inn, which is inside the market. My order was ready when I arrived and there was no line to pay at the market's cash register. The mussels and shrimp were fresh, still steaming hot, and the cajon sauce was delicious. I got the medium spicy which had a little kick and left a mild burning sensation on my lip. Perfect amount of heat for me. Definitely recommend!! Also thanks Tom for the free of charge corn. I will definitely be back soon.

    This location of Stinkin Crawfish is located in Old Town Monrovia. There are a few public lots and…read morestreet parking throughout the area. I was already in the area and when it was time for dinner I was walking around to see what looked good. I was so excited to see Stinkin Crawfish. It was weird though because I went to the restroom to wash my hands, and when I came back, they gave another group the table they gave me. I picked a different table, but I thought that was odd. After a quick glance at their menu I saw that they had Happy Hour is Monday to Friday from 4 to 6:30pm. It was a bit pass 6pm so I put in a Dozen Oysters (HH $15 | regular $33) while I looked at the rest of the menu. Ugh regret. These were SO BAD!! First off, the majority was not shucked, it was still attacked to the shell. I turned to the table next to me since I saw they had ordered oysters and I asked if theirs were shucked, and they said some were and some weren't. Oh goodness, so inconsistent. Then they also warned me that they got charged regular pricing instead of happy hour pricing. Also they didn't give me any utensils... so I had to go grab a plastic fork myself cause no staff was in sight and I had to scrap these oysters off their shells. First one not good. Second one, I drowned it in marinara sauce, still not good. Third one... SO BAD I SPLIT IT OUT... Fourth one, ALSO BAD. Okay I don't want to get sit... I'm over this... I just set it aside and covered it with one napkin to indicate I'm over it. Honestly they can see there were many untouched if they wanted to ask me how I liked them. Maybe I should have left but I made the mistake of ordering more food. I ordered a Raspberry Iced Tea ($3.75). Can't really mess that up but I want to point out that no refills were offered my whole time there. I did their Build Your Own with 1lb Shrimp ($17.75), 1lb Crawfish ($11 when added on to an order), with the Make it Awesome ($5.75) which is 1 corn, 2 potatoes, 3 sausages all in their Garlic Butter Mild. Okay... garlic... butter... can't go wrong right?? Well I'm wrong wrong wrong. I don't know HOW they managed to serve me the blandest cajun meal of my life. I am beyond baffled. I see the garlic. The color looks like butter. Definitely not mild, more like zero spice and zero seasonings. Even the limes they gave were dried out and bitter. My theory on the bland garlic was that it was prepped and frozen for so long it lost its' flavor. The seafood itself didn't taste fresh either. Bleh. It really needed a better sauce to mask the musky taste. Oh and the sausage was BURNT. Sigh. I think service tried to be nice. They did come and ask if I needed anything else. But honestly I didn't even want the food in front of me, let alone anything else. At the end they provided complimentary dessert to every guest. It was like a deep fried oreo with a scoop of ice cream on the day I went. The dessert was good. Just nothing else. Oh wait for it... when I got the check, I was also overcharged for the oysters, ringing up at $33 instead of the $1.50/oyster HH price being $15. The waitress was surprised and she even expressed how that happened to another customer (I know) previously and she had asked "him", who I assume is a manager or boss, to fix it in the system. Sigh... Apparently he didn't. The portions were fair, the pricing is fair... WHEN THEY RING YOU UP CORRECTLY. it just tastes bad. Low production quality. Maybe they are able to keep these prices by buying low quality product. Regardless I DEFINITELY won't be coming back. This meal, or rather the stuff that was edible, is not worth the calories. I rarely give 1 star reviews but I almost considered it... but no one was mean and I didn't get sick (because I spit up the bad oysters and stopped eating them). This is such a generous 2 stars review for the mess I had to deal with.

The place was fairly quiet when I arrived, but it picked up as my meal went on. The space is really well put together: nautical theme, interesting art, and lots of natural light from the windows balanced by dark wood furniture. You can watch the chefs cook from the dining area, and the long full bar has a great layout. They also had Sunday football on two TVs, which was a nice touch. It kept things casual without feeling too fancy or too much like a sports bar, just a great vibe for an afternoon of football and a good meal at the bar. The bartender made the experience even better. She was attentive, friendly, easy-going, and engaging, and she was quick, too. You can tell she genuinely likes her job. I'd checked the menu beforehand and spotted the mussels and fries. I love both, so I had to try it. The portion is big enough to share, but it works as an entrée if you're hungry. The fries come topped with a truffle garlic mayo, and the mussels arrive steaming hot in a delicious broth. You choose your spice level, and I went spicy. It was perfect, with plenty of heat that never buried the flavor of the broth. I usually only trust mussels near the ocean, but these were cooked perfectly and won me over. The pairing with fries is one I never would have imagined, and it works. If you like garlic, you'll love the broth. As the mayo melts in, it turns creamy and almost looks like a tomato bisque, seasoned to perfection with a flavor I've never had before. Even soaked in broth, the fries stayed crispy. One tip: I finished everything and still had a lot of broth left. My bartender offered bread for dipping, but I was too full and didn't know it was an option. Next time I'll save room or ask for bread right away. I also tried the seasonal spiked apple pie cocktail, with a cinnamon-sugar rim and a cinnamon stick garnish. It was flavorful without being overpowering, the kind of drink you could easily have more than one of. I'll be thinking about this dish until I'm back, which will probably be soon. I'm dying to try the mac & cheese topped with hot Cheetos, plus a few other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

They also have a small selection of beer on draft and in bottles, with a little something for everyone. It's a casual spot with a nautical theme.
