The snow crab, crawfish, mussels, and shrimp were incredibly fresh. Compared to Boiling Crab, their sauce is thicker and richer in flavor. The Medium heat was just right for us, but it might be a bit too spicy for others. We also ordered the Lobster fries, which really balanced the heat from the sauce--a perfect match! For drinks, we got strawberry and mango lemonade, and while both were great, my daughter loved the mango. The place is clean and has a great atmosphere. I'm definitely planning to come back.

That's amazing service. Greatest spot to eat. Highly recommend!

I don't usually hype spots like this, but Mariscos El Moreno in Lynwood truly never disappoints…read more You know how some places taste amazing when you eat there, but when you get it to-go it's just not the same? El Moreno is the opposite -- it hits every single time, no matter what. Before coming here, I thought aguachiles were the top tier... then I tried their salsa morena and that changed everything. Now I don't even bother with anything else -- morena sauce on EVERYTHING. That sauce is on another level. The ceviche mixta with morena sauce is straight fire. We even ordered two big charolas for my son's first birthday party, and I'm not exaggerating -- almost everyone at the party kept asking where we got the ceviche from. That tells you all you need to know. Only downside is the parking can be a little tight since it's on a small corner, but honestly, once you taste the food, you forget about that real quick. If you go, do yourself a favor: get the salsa morena on everything. You can thank me later.

First impression: The music is seriously pumped up--think concert, not dinner party. We had to yell…read moreacross the table like we were hailing a taxi. By the end, I wasn't sure if I'd eaten seafood or just done vocal warm-ups. The good news: the food holds its own. The seafood is super fresh, which is a blessing when you need something to focus on besides the bass drop. It's a cozy little spot--parking lot fits about 11 cars, so it's like musical chairs on asphalt. Street parking is an option, just keep an eye out for that street sweeping sign unless you want to donate to the city's "surprise fund." Bottom line: great for a lively, no-fuss meal. Just bring your appetite, your patience, and maybe a subtle hand signal system.

Completely next level. You can tell everything--from the chicken to the fish, shrimp, and even the sides--was made with real care and love by the new owners. Now, I don't usually eat beans, but I kept hearing about the red beans and rice, so I grabbed some for my husband (and of course had to try them myself)... and wow. I was in heaven. Sooooo good!!! If you're looking for some bomb fried fish and chicken, I highly recommend this spot. And PLEASE don't skip the sides... or the desserts--OMG!!! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, was on point. Shoutout to Max for the AMAZING service--I'll definitely be back soon!

I saw this place on social media and stopped after work to support since it is black owned…read more My order was called ahead. As I walked in, food was ready, but the glass refrigerator was inoperable. There was no fresh seafood in sight. Oh lawd!! Had I known, I probably would've not ordered that day. In fact, the entire shop was kind of dark. There was no posted menu, price list, etc. None were printed either so I went off of previous yelp posts. I ordered the #2 combo with 3 pieces of file of soul, 10 medium shrimp, red beans/rice, greens & a small side order of hush puppies. Though, I was shorted 2 pieces of shrimp. Seafood was well coated, but crust kind of "peeled" off of the fish in big chunks. The ends of the fish were somewhat dried out and I don't think the fish was the freshest (since not noticeable on ice), not enough for the coating to fully stick. The sides were authentically cooked. Red beans had a slight kick. Greens portion was small and needed more seasoning. Hush puppies are well flavored although mine were slightly undercooked. Quick fix in the air fryer when I got home. I will give this place another try. My job is nearby and coworkers like to eat. Next time I hope the seafood is on ice and everything is fully operable. I may have to order upon arrival.

I've been craving Pescado Zarandeado so you know I had to stop by my favorite mariscos spot! My mom…read moreand I stopped by after class and it was lonely apart from another table. I ordered my usual and my mom opted for the Camárones Zarandeado which ultimately is a generous portion of shrimp grilled to perfection coated in some sort of mild spicy seasoning. I always look forward to the chips and salsa as this place offers the spiciest salsa I've ever had. I was practically in tears due to how spicy there green salsa is, and I love spicy food lol. I even overhead another guest compliment the owner on the spicy salsa as they were leaving. My pescado zarandeado was delicious as always and the shrimp was good too. Though i'm not personally quite fond of unpeeled shrimp (with the whiskers and eyes attached) my mom loved it! There was even a friendly local who arrived shortly after us and offered my mom and I a few beers as he had a 12 pack to himself. If you are a true foodie and don't mind the aesthetics ( as it is a food truck situated in an empty lot with an outside seating area) you'll absolutely love this place. The owner is also very kind and attentive which I appreciate. I'll always continue to support this local business and I encourage you to give it a try as well!

She patiently took all our orders with a cheerful attitude and made sure everything was correct. The food was good, came out in a timely manner, and Cindy checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything else. Toward the end of the meal, she kindly split the check per couple, which we really appreciated. The best part? We were surprised with fried Oreos and ice cream on the house--such an unexpected and delicious treat! Then, to top it off, the manager came by and offered us a second round of fried Oreos and ice cream, also on the house. How cool is that? Nice place, good food, and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Respectably tasty and worthy of a bib. The biggest difference between this spot and its…read morecompetitors? The sauce in the bag felt a bit... watered down like it went for a swim before meeting the seafood. For a party of four, we ordered: SHRIMP LOVER COMBO, LOBSTER ROLL, SIDE OF RICE, BASKET OF SEASONED FRIES, AND MAD DOG XXX SAUCE on the side. Portion-wise, we left comfortably full and only slightly questioning our life choices. The Shrimp Lover Combo can't be modified. We chose Stinkin' Special and Spicy, which came with a plastic glove so you can dig in like a civilized gremlin. The Stinkin' Special was a generous blasts of Old Bay and enough garlic to ward off vampires. The Mad Dog sauce wasn't shock-your-soul spicy, but it definitely lingered. I was still feeling its friendly burn hours later and well into the evening. The LOBSTER ROLLL was tasty but fleeting. It's one of those dishes that makes you realize the meal is almost over right when you're hitting peak satisfaction. A little emotional damage there. We wrapped it all up with deep-fried Oreos and ice cream, which was an instant win. Sweet, cooling relief after all that heat. Tip: Sign up to their text newsletter at the restaurant and enjoy a free basket of fries. BTW, their website is down. :(

If you know, you know -- The Crab Shack is tucked away in that back parking structure where Marie…read moreCallender's used to be, surrounded by a few other restaurants. It's one of those "low-key hidden but worth finding" spots. Don't let the location fool you! I went on a Tuesday during the week when it wasn't busy at all -- nice and chill vibes. But babyyy once 6 PM hit? Dinner time activated. The crowd definitely started rolling in and you could feel the energy shift. So just know traffic picks up later in the evening if you're planning a visit. Now let's get into what matters: The staff? Super attentive and kind. I love when servers check on you just enough without hovering. And the food came out HOT. Not warm. Not "it's been sitting." I'm talking steaming, fresh, straight-to-the-table heat -- which is exactly how a crab boil should hit. Portions were generous because I was overly stuffed and still had plenty left over for the next day (which honestly might be the best part). Nothing like reheating a seafood boil and running it back. Thank you for hosting me and my guest -- we had such a good experience. I'll definitely be back for my next crab boil fix lol

We waited for 30 minutes to be seated even though plenty of tables were open, waited another 30 minutes to place an order, waited another 40 minutes until the food came out. At least the decor was "cute" pretty standard for a seafood boil and had TVs. We got 3 pounds of shrimp with the flavor mix and the spiciest level of heat in addition to some Cajun fries. The seafood was so bland and the fries were so dry with little to no seasoning.
