    Shrimp ceviche

    Best ceviche I've had in years!!! Highly recommend the shrimp ceviche and aguachile ceviche!! So flavorful and fresh!!! Will definitely come back!!

    a glass of beer and a bowl of salsa

    Authentic Nayarit style mariscos in a Spanish speaking cash only establishment that hit the spot. Refreshing Campechanga loaded with fish shrimp and crab. A wonderful tomato sauce with avocado chopped cucumber and onions. Service was efficient beer was cold and well priced. Would stop by here again. There are so many different things to try. Be aware Cash Only!!

    Pulpo and Camarón

    The pulpo and Camarón ceviche was fresh and delicious. The service was great and the food came out really quick.

    The rude dog face waitress she doesn't like her job

    Came to this place thinking why not let's try this little hole in the wall place but omg the service was disgusting the waitress had a Dog Face and you can tell she is not happy at her job I would not recommend this place to no one and who ever made the Michiladas needs to go back and learn how to make them !!

    I clearly wrote all the amounts of food the cashier told me since prices weren't clear on the bill i was given.

    This place is the worst!!! Service was slow. They half ass pick the onion and tomato for the ceviche, michelada and "fresh" lemonade sucked. my squirt was perfect and my aguachile was good. CHECK YOUR TABS WHEN YOU PAY. the younger waitress/cashier was overcharging me by over $100. when my husband went to ask her she told him it was $100+ of taxes when our food tab was $116. I tried to explain to her she was calculating wrong cuz there no way the taxes alone was more than what we ate and drank and she kept insisting I was wrong. I calculated everything and showed her and NOPE she was insistent i owed $230 for 2 lemonades, 2 squirts, 2 micheladas, 1 fajita plate, 1 aguachile, 1 different plates of ceviche. After about 5 minutes of me showing her she then said she messed up and my total was $130 ((on the picture she added the 1 over the 2 on the 230.) i did the calculations showed her it was basically $128 paid her $140 and she still had the nerve to give me $10 change. i made her give me the additional change she owed me. Had she not tried to be sneaky and an over $100 from me i would've let her have the loose dollars! . the whole time the older lady who's worked there for YEARS never bothered to come out and help! NEVER THE HELL AGAIN will i ever give Islas Marias business!

    Tostada de pescado. Oysters preparados!

    Came to Boston Lobster as my friends had set up a lunch here. Haven't been to a place like this in…read morea while! We ordered quite a bit. Obviously, you can't come to a place that has lobster in the menu without ordering lobster, and we got the House Special Lobster (Large) with Garlic Noodle. Other items we ordered were the French Style Beef Cube, Braided Crab Meat & Fish Maw Soup, Beef Mongolian, Crispy Fried Sole Fish, BBQ Fried Rice, Clams with Spicy Sauce, Crispy Fried Squid with Salt and Pepper, and Clams with Black Bean Sauce. The portions are actually quite massive for each dish. All of it was very solid and tasty Chinese food. We were definitely very stuffed after this lunch was over! Service here is solid enough for a Chinese place. They were pretty quick with getting us extra plates to change out our dirty plates and more bowls as needed. And they were quick with the water. But yeah, you do have to flag them down to get their attention. They do have a parking lot here, and we got here early enough on a Sunday where parking wasn't an issue. However, I can see it being a problem on busier days. Boston Lobster is definitely worth a visit if you want solid Chinese food at a fair affordable price. Really good!

Here are the dishes we ordered: House special lobster with noodles: 5/5 ( the star of this place) Pan fried beef noodles: 5/5 Kung pao chicken: 5/5 Tofu with brown sauce: 5/5 Chow fun noodles: 4/5 Vegetable dishes: 4/5 Fish fillet: 3/5 Pork chop spicy salt: 5/5 Mapo tofu: 4/5 Shrimp with eggs: 4/5 My favorite dish was the house lobster with noodles. It's really why I came here. There was so much meat from the lobster and the noodles were a great addition to the dish. So flavorful and delicious! If you come between 11:30-4:45pm, you can get the lunch special items. The portions were actually huge for the price you're paying. It's available 7 days a week. It's so worth it! I would definitely come back here especially for the delicious food, reasonable prices and exceptional service.

    First off, the Stuffed Bone Marrow beef tacos were the best beef tacos that I've ever had in my…read morelife!!! Although it was $24, the portions are pretty large. It's a large portion of marinated beef cheeks (which I will be honest, I was very nervous about). The marinated beef cheeks was super flavorful (without any gaminess) and slightly shredded with " fall apart tenderness". It comes with one half of toasted bone marrow, some radish slices, cilantro, onions, habanero sauce, and 3 to 4 homemade corn tortillas. Yes, I could totally tell that the corn tortillas were homemade and soft. You use a small smear of bone marrow to give the taco an extra bonus umami flavor. Because I cannot tolerate habanero sauce, which Antonio said was very spicy, Antonio was kind enough to bring out two types of sauces that were minimally spicy for me. Honestly, the marination of the beef was so good that you actually don't even need any sauce. But I tried both sauces that Antonio brought me and they were both tasty with my taco also. You can also buy some extra homemade corn tortillas if you have any beef left over after finishing the tortillas that come with the entrée. Beni's seafood fried rice with solidly good with large chunks of seafood. Although the seafood fried rice was really good, the bone marrow beef tacos were absolutely incredible. My friend chose the spicy tuna roll (cut rolls). Normally, I would totally recommend against getting anything with spicy tuna at a restaurant. As most foodies know, a lot of restaurants hide old tuna with Sriracha sauce. So I was pleasantly surprised when her spicy tuna rolls were one of the best tuna California rolls that I've ever had!! It was like a California roll with pieces of tuna in the middle along with minced tuna sashimi spread over the top. The tuna was surprisingly fresh and creamy. Needless to say, I will need to come back with more family members. I cannot wait to try all of the other dishes on this menu. By the way, there are a ridiculous number of items to choose from on this menu. Don't forget to flip the menu over. There is something for everyone on this menu. And yes, they serve alcohol even though I don't really like alcohol myself. I'm pretty sure that I also read that there is a mimosa flight of 4 flavors if you love champagne. There is an inside air-conditioned portion of Krudo's sushi and modern kitchen. There's also an outdoor seating area. I was fortunate enough to have Antonio as my waiter. He was friendly and knowledgeable and guided my food choices well

    Back again to my favorite seafood market. I was on my way…read morehome from work and wanted to grab something to eat before heading home. I wanted something quick, but not fast food. I knew I wanted seafood or something similar. Right away it came to my mind. A fried fish would sound good right now. I headed to my favorite seafood market to get me a fried fish and some fried shrimp. The perfect combination. This place never disappoints the fish is always well seasoned and well cooked. I usually get 1 pound of shrimp with head on but today they didn't have it so I went with the headless shrimp. For 2 fried tilapia and 1 pound of shrimp the check came out too $24. You can't beat that. I highly recommend everyone to stop by and try it. If you're in the area, they also have other kinds of fish they can fry for you. Service is always great here.

    TAKE PEPPER SPRAY WHEN ENTERING!…read more Anyhoo, If you could get over the scummy dudes standing outside asking if you need fake social security cards, go right in! This market is really really really a hole in the wall. Everything looks wrong in this place. It needs new paint, new floors, smells bad, looks bad but I haven't got sick yet so I'll keep on going back! Here's why I love this place. You go in, pick out what fish you want, give it to the dude behind the counter, he weights it, gives you a receipt, you go pay, in the mean time the dude is frying up your fish. It come out SOOO good! They season it up with god knows what (and i don't care) and throw some onion-cilantro stuff on it! It turns out beautifully! I always get the baby octopus, fried and talapia. Is the fish fresh? Who know! Who cares. My taste buds know what they like, and they like this place!

We ended up getting a set for $168 this time, which came with 6 dishes. It's also $35 per lb for lobster, and I asked for the smallest one. Apparently, the smallest one was 4.8 lbs, which was another $168, so I'm not sure if they upsold me. Anyways, the food was fantastic and everyone enjoyed it. This is what I thought about the food we got. House Seafood Soup - Simple and clean soup. Good portion, and it was soothing to eat. Lots of squid. (4/5) Clams with Spicy Sauce - Large clams with tons of meat, and the sauce was fire. Always a good choice. (5/5) Crab with Salt & Pepper - Loved the seasoning, and the flavors were solid. (4.5/5) Thai Style Beef Stew - First time trying this, and it was good. A bit different, but the meat chunks were tasty and the overall flavors were good. (4/5) Sautéed Pea Sprouts - Nicely done vegetable dish. It's simple but refreshing with good flavors. (4/5) Fried Whole Fish - This dish was gone so fast because it was delicious. Nicely fried and not overly seasoned. (5/5) Signature Lobster - I feel like you have to get this here since it's their specialty. It's pricey, but in my opinion, it's the best and freshest lobster in town. Tons of green onions, seasoned well, fresh meat, and lots of lobster roe. (5/5) Service was good, and they didn't automatically add a mandatory tip for a large party. The total came out to around $364, which is pricey, but the food was phenomenal. Parking - Valet only, but they have street parking in front. I parked on the street since there were plenty of spots on a Wednesday, but I assume it gets busy on weekends.
