    A big bowl of seafood in a delicious tomato and pepper stock.
    Alsor S.

    Dear Tourists, if you're visiting our beautiful city and you want to try some real Mexican food, then venture to La Perla Del Pacifico. This is a Mexican style seafood restaurant with a touch of TexMex tossed in for good measure. I took my seafood loving administrative assistant there for AA day and it was a hit. This restaurant is not fancy, but the food is good and tasty and full of people speaking Spanish. The portions are from plentiful to so darn big you can't eat it all. There are several raw seafood options soups (aka: Calais), whole fried fish and so much more. Come in, study, order some food and get ready to nosh. Although this is NOT a high-end dining establishment, the prices are on the higher end, if you order one of the super-sized mojacate dishes. Go ahead--do it and just split the goods with some more of your dining companions.

    Came across AguaChiles while scrolling TikTok and saw they were promoting their Pork Belly…read moreAguaChiles -- and I'm really glad we decided to check it out. We've been wanting to try something different from the usual, and this place absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted promptly and treated with genuine kindness. Our waitress was polite, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire visit. To drink, we ordered a large hibiscus tea served in a mason jar. You can immediately tell it's made in-house -- incredibly fresh, with a subtle hint of lime. Easily one of the best hibiscus teas I've had, and far better than the powdered versions many places use. I wouldn't even hesitate to pay for refills. We also started with a Modelo (canned), crudo shrimp (2 pieces), Japanese peanuts, chamoy, and a sauce at the bottom of the plate that was unbelievably good -- likely one of their ceviche sauces. Whatever it was, it was packed with flavor. For entrees, my spouse ordered the Pork Belly AguaChile, and it was phenomenal. The pork belly was crispy, tender, and moist all at once, loaded with flavor. It came with a generous portion of very fresh guacamole, topped with julienned red onions and serrano peppers, plus four corn tortillas and a fresh salsa verde with the perfect amount of heat. My spouse isn't big on tortillas, so I happily made a few tacos myself -- no regrets. I ordered the Ceviche La Mamona, which included tender octopus, melt-in-your-mouth ahi tuna, perfectly cooked shrimp, avocado, onion, cucumber, tomato, and a black sauce that tied everything together beautifully. This was, without question, the best ceviche I've ever had. I've never been to Mexico, but this is exactly how I imagine it should taste -- incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. They also serve it with crackers, tostadas, and two creamy salsas: one habanero and one jalapeño/serrano. Honestly, the ceviche alone could have been a full meal. If you're looking for generous portions, outstanding freshness, excellent service, and a truly memorable seafood experience, AguaChiles is the place. Next time, I'm coming back for the whole octopus, super tostada mixta, oyster preparado, queso flameado, fried oysters, and possibly a molcajete. I love food, and every meal here felt like an adventure.

    First time here and definitely coming back soon. The food had an amazing flavor to it…read more The service is superb. My new go to place for marisco. I highly recommend stopping by.

When I came up to the place it wasn't a sit down place to eat, but that you have to order which was confusing as there were a lot of other restaurants within the small space. There was a guy there that was picking up wing and he stated that they were the best and big pieces. So he showed me how to order. And I place my order as it was Wednesday dollar day for wings so I order wings. I had the parmesan garlic, lemon pepper. Let me tell you they were so good, the wait was too long but worth the wait. It best to order online then go pick up. The restroom were locked so that is why I gave 4 and we weren't able to speak with no one. If you need any special thing or extras please write it I. The space provided because they don't give you anything but what you order no napkin just nothing else. Enjoy and hope the you didn't forget to order anything special or extra as you won't get it.

It's a multi-restaurant location but no one actually works the front desk or door. So you basically have to order your food online and they deliver it to a locker where you pick it up. Very strange. And made it pretty much impossible to get any thing extra like napkins, a fork, or whatever you might need for a meal. Good food... But definitely not recommended if you're looking for something as a sitdown place

    My sweet potato of a boy has somehow decided that cheese tortellini is the epitome of fine dining,…read moreand in the interest of not having to cook too often, we've been on a quest to find the best tortellini in town. I thought the "soup of the day: cheese tortellini" sign...was a joke like "soup of the day: beer". No, that's really the soup option. Anyway, this one was close to his school, had a tortellini entree, and looked pretty good, so we decided to give it a whirl. We've gotten the last walk-in table twice now, at 5:45 pm. Which really gives me the warm fuzzies. It's a tiny space that seats maybe 20 folks; it's proud, not upscale, but not run down and reasonably busy. It's slightly claustrophobic, but in a way that implies they're prioritizing space for tables. It's the kind of place where you can just feel that the food is gonna be good. The kid got the cheese tortellini on both visits and will do so on every visit in the future for all of eternity. He decided he's not a fan of tortellini in soup form, so I get his soup. He rates the entree somewhere above HEB imported refrigerated variety and somewhere below his most beloved Pesto Restaurante, but I think if we tweak the sauce, we will get it dialed in ok. I've gotten Veal Francese both times, because I'm a monster, and when I see veal on a menu, I can't help myself. It was paired with a salad, and (my kid's) soup, and the entree was served with pasta al dente. Super filling and priced quite reasonably. It was delicious - I loved everything about it. Awesome little family-style place, great food, good atmosphere, ample parking. This one checks all the boxes.

    Great experience every time! And the food is amazing!!! It is clean inside and the service is…read morealways excellent.

Birthdays, random cravings, "we survived the week" dinners & you name it, we've probably celebrated it here. The vibe is casual, fun, and laid-back, which is exactly what you want when you're about to put on a bib and commit to a seafood boil. And yes, that is exactly what you should do here because the boils never miss. The seafood is always fresh, the sauces are flavorful, and the spice levels are not playing around. My recommendation? Stick with level 2 unless you enjoy sweating through your meal and reevaluating your life choices. My go-to combo is mussels, shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, boiled egg, and veggies. And before anybody gets suspicious about the veggies in a seafood boil, hear me out, they absolutely belong there. They soak up all that buttery, spicy sauce and add something extra to the whole experience. Don't skip them. Also, get the flights. They're fun, they're good, and they make an already good time even better. Smashin Crab is one of those places we keep coming back to because it's reliable in the best way: good seafood, great flavor, and the kind of meal that feels like an event every time.

Jenn was our server, and she was amazing very attentive, informative, and provided great service throughout our visit. The ambiance was a fun, lively vibe with music playing, and the restaurant was clean. The happy hour menu had a great selection, with everything from shrimp boils to cocktails. We started with the 1/2 dozen chargrilled oysters ($19.12) and the Smash'd Margarita Flight ($11 during happy hour). Chargrilled Oysters: 8.5/10 The oysters were cooked in garlic butter and Parmesan and served with crispy toast. The toast was definitely a highlight for me it added such a good texture and paired really well with the oysters. I would absolutely order these again! Smash'd Margarita Flight: (9/10) This was a fun way to get a taste of the different margaritas they offer. The prickly pear was my favorite of the flight! Shrimp Boil: (10/10) For our main meal, we ordered the shrimp boil from the happy hour menu and added a few extras. I loved how customizable the boils were. They have a great variety of add-ons, from broccoli to ramen noodles, and you can also choose your seasoning and spice level. Overall, we had a great experience. Good food, a fun atmosphere, plenty of options, and great service from Jenn. We'll definitely be back and those chargrilled oysters will be making another appearance at the table!

I appreciate that their potatoes and corn are also mixed into all the flavorful seasoning rather than being cooked separately and not mix them in like other spots do. The one slight observation, We normally order online for pickup.. their online system always states the order takes 45 mins, however, I've picked up orders as soon as 10 mins after.

It was a great experience going with my Family. They provide a permanent marker in order to write your name on the wall. That makes for a great memory for everyone especially kids. The variety of food is so amazing! They have fried fish, fried calamari, fried flounder, jumbo shrimp, fried catfish, combo plates with different options to make a custom meal. Crawfish, clams, and mussels and sooo much more. You will really love the variety and all the great flavors. I think it's a nice place to catch the Spurs games because they have TV screens everywhere and also a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. Take your friends, take your Family, take your Beloved! You will be pleasantly surprised! P.S. it can be a bit messy but it doesn't matter because they give you plastic sheer hand gloves, wet towelettes, and a plastic type bib if you need it.
