    Combo #1

    Ate here with a friend. First place I've ever been to that didn't have the food in a bag! Came on a large tray platter. Ordered one of the combos that you get to choose 3lbs of choice, comes with corn and sausage. It was great! The combo sauce was delicious and full of flavor, a bit more on the sweeter side, but I really enjoyed it. Tons of tables, a full bar, and a great variety of selection on the menu. Great for dinner and drinks. AMAZING service. Server kept checking up on us multiple times and made sure we were taken care of. I would definitely recommend coming here and hopefully will be back the next time I'm in the area.

    Was craving Cajun seafood boil but didn't want to drive to K-Town and wait an hour for Boiling Crab. Found LA Crazy Crab on Yelp and I am so glad I did! It was only a 15 minute drive for us, huge (free) parking lot. It was a packed restaurant but no wait time. The food was delicious! The taste is very similar to Boiling Crab at a better price point. The clams tasted a little fishy for my liking but my husband was fine with them. It was very lively as well - they had a DJ on a Saturday night and football playing on the big screens. Customer service was fantastic. I will definitely be back and I just found my BC replacement!

    What a HIDDEN GEM . Me and my lady was a bit skeptical about this place due to it being so close to her house , the plaza & the buffet next door . I told her we have to try it out and MAN , do we love this place now . We have tried several boiled shrimp restaurants & this is my new favorite . Shrimp is so delicious . Lots of options available. Calamari was good . Prices are very fair . The dine in area is decently big , with lots of tables available. Can't wait to try all the goodies on their menu ! THEY HAVE $2 ( HH ) beers . . Service is always amazing . Friendly happy staff , food is served fast and efficiently. 10/10 I wish more places like this would offer edamame in a bag with their sauce like a place we've tried . Maybe one day you guys can add that to the menu . IF YOU EVER WANNA TRY THIS PLACE OIT DONT HESITATE YOU WILL NOT BE UPSET !!

    We had a reservation through Yelp, but it felt just like an easy walk-in -- we didn't even need to mention the reservation and were seated without any hassle. The place is clean with a nice, lively vibe. There's a bar area as well. We tried the dirty hooker shots felt like a fun drinks, though they were on the lighter side alcohol-wise. Music was loud and energetic, which we enjoyed. The LA Bag was amazing. Our amazing Latina waitress was fantastic and recommended the spicy hot LA Cajun seasoning. It was absolutely on point and spicy. If you like spicy - go for it. Medium might be underwhelming. We ordered LA Bag Option 2 with shrimp, mussels, and snow crab, and it was enough for three people. Was so good and highly recommended!

    The service was amazing. The food is great ! I got the $25 special. The mussels opened were AMAZINGGGG. Not over cooked and the seasoning was on point. I got the devined and unshelled shrimp for an extra 2.50. The garlic noodles are spicy and well seasoned. The beer is $5 everyday. All day. YOU SHOULD GO

    Went for a day trip to this area, checked yelp for good places to eat and ended up here. The food was very good, I enjoyed the big concept of the dinning area can definitely have large parties there. The food was definitely finger licking, the place is cute in the inside and pretty new. I think the only way it could be better is the staff, we had someone pleasant however there was only two waitresses and a lot of people to serve so I don't blame them for not being as available as I wish they could have been.

    Made the drive from San Diego It was our first time here, once we stepped in we noticed it was really busy, but the servers sat right away due to our reservation. They were very welcoming, friendly and had great energy towards their customers. The ambiance of the restaurant was very inviting had music and great energy. Servers were courteous, attentive,knowledgeable, accommodating & professional. On to the food it was beyond amazing had so many options, i definitely love their meal combo options and the flavor was the best I've had so far everything was perfect ! The drive was worth it! Things to know * gets busy during dinner hours * takes reservations * offers take out * serves alcohol * family friendly

    Four words: better than boiling crab. It's in a big strip mall so there's plenty of parking. The inside is very clean. Our waitress, Nicole was extremely nice and helpful. The crab tray with LA sauce was so good. Super flavorful. The rice was also really good as a side. 10/10

    I am a boiling crab girlie to the max but this place completely blew them out of the water!! The La style is sweet tangy spicy has good heat level to extremely flavorful I love that there's an option to get peeled deveined shrimp as well owner was very friendly and was out on the floor working and helping staff! Ordered two lychee martinis those were amazing as well and strong! I definitely recommend this place 10/10 boiling crab doesn't even come close! My only critique would be the lobster tail was a little over done other than that food was AMAZING I will definitely be coming back!!

    SERVICE: Took the hubby here for his bday and this place was a hidden gem. So thankful to YELP for the reviews hahaha! Staff was awesome, parking was in a free lot, easy to get a table, place was clean - just all good things. Enjoyed the decor of strung banners and tv's for sport viewing. There's a bar in the back with multiple tables for group seating. FOOD: I enjoyed, we all did. My only star drop was the seasoning didn't blow, blow me away, but, but, but the food was good. I appreciated the level options of heat. We ordered onion rings, fries, cajun corn which was inhaled, crab legs, and LA Boil. Food arrives with bibs, plastic gloves, lemon, additional seasonings, bbq sauce, and ranch dressing. A sharable bottled water is provided with cute silver cups. WELL: Everyone was surprised how awesome this place was. Believe the reviews. It's definitely a place to visit and return to. Sure, the area may be a bit suspect, but at times, that's when it's extra special. Again, an awesome hidden gem. AND it was close enough to our hotel - score!

    My first time here and Michelle was very welcoming. She offer drinks and my bother place our food order. He order the Cajun corn, friend onion rings and LA bag 3 lbs Cajun mild spice shrimp. The presentation of the food was excellent and I was happy of my meal. We came on a Tuesday evening at a good time and the place was empty. I love the upbeat music and the atmosphere. I would definitely come back again and try something different. Enjoy!

    Everything I had from here, from the sauces to the fried items, had FAR too much sugar in it. I wish everyone well, but I won't be back.

    Wow! I'm so hurt i havent reviewed this place! I thought i did already, i think it lowkey didn't go…read morethrough cus wth! Anywhooo, guys come! Please Visit!! 10/10 maaann I LOOVE this place. Their phone service is great, that's what lured me. That's hell of a bonus for me cus greeting and welcoming is everything! The place is small but the outside patio hits. No alcohol but you can order a michi mix if you catch my drift. Seems like it's more of a to-go spot but im not a neighbor and enjoy my time eating it there and fresh! I usually order ahead personally because i like my seafood cold and they store it in the fridge to keep it cold once it's done. My go-to is the Matacrudas. I sub the octopus for crab meat 'jaiba.' I've tried most of their sauces, traditional, aguachiles, negra, and just tried the mango habanero. I love how they have a scale for spice preference. I get medium which is just the right amount of spice for me. Their michi mix is reeeallyy good since they have all the ingredients there! Def not a 'bloody mary' mix that some consider a michi. Customer service is great! They are always happy to see you again. I love family owned places! You can tell they appreciate your visit and your business. The food tastes really good and fresh! The portion is more than a great amount. It's basically a botana and you always have extra to take home if you tap out early. Parking lot is really small but i always find a spot or on the street. Please guys, go check them out! I fucks wit them heavy. Everyone on instagram is always commenting or bringing it up in person of how it always looks good.

They have a pretty good selection of sea food plates from coctel de Camaron, filete de pescado, tostadas de ceviche and fish and shrimp tacos. I had the camarones rancheros. The plate served rice, beans, salad and the sauteed shrimp with onions, tomatoes and jalapeños.The jalapeños gave a little kick to it but nothing no one can handle. My boyfriend had the shrimp and fish tacos. Both were breaded.

The tostadas mixta are my favorite, the seafood is super fresh. Very good food. The only thing I'm not to thrilled about is that the door is kept open and sometimes you'll find a lot of flies which can be annoying when you're trying to enjoy your food. The lady is always very nice and it's usually very clean inside. Plenty of parking most of the time. Fresh seafood estilo Nayarit; can't go wrong!
