    GARLIC SHRIMP
    Venetric J.

    The line was long to and we had to wait to be seated outside. Seeing it was. 25 minute wait my best friend and I left but no sooner than we left they text us to be seated outside as we chose to dine in. The food was really good. The only complaint I have is my pupusa's were empty and meaning with no inside meat and vegetable stuffing. They nicely took care of it. The Shrimp were amazing as always, the pupusa's were freshly made and was well worth the wait. The Drink was good however I was not able to drink was okay. It did not have a taste of alcohol so I'm unsure if I'll be ordering drinks upon my next visit. I'll give them an 8 out of 10.

    The salmon was delicious! The fresh vegetables were slightly crispy: i would definitely order it again.

    It's been a while, but what's the difference between the Ranchero, Mambo, and Chipotle sauces? I thought the red sauce with peppers was Mambo Ranchero sauce?

    Hi Mambo Fan. Thanks for reaching out to us about our sauces: Here's an explanation that can help you.…

I wasn't too impressed the first time, and this visit certainly confirmed my initial thoughts. For La Lucha's Happy Hour, you get a choice between 2 types of oysters ($1.50 each). These were great - do this on a weekday before 6pm and you should be able to grab a table without a reservation. Barely even after we started eating the oysters, the waitress was already asking if we wanted to order more, instead of allowing us to just enjoy our food without interruptions. The menus they gave at our table were inconsistent and had different menu items. I had to ask for clarification if the redfish was on the menu since it wasn't on two of the three menus given to us. So, quality control was a miss. Rest of the menu... is limited. Everything was so greasy, from the fried chicken, the redfish, and shrimp tacos. * Red fish with pecans - 6/10. The fish did not taste like it was seasoned with salt. It was well cooked, not dry at all, but it lacked any sort of seasoning aside from the butter and pecans on top. * Shrimp Tacos - 4/10. I think I prefer Taco Bell over this one. The shell was greasy, not crisp (felt like it was stale), and I was confused with the combination of American Cheese and shrimp. They also added hot sauce or spicy salsa in the tacos - so a warning if you can't handle spice (not mentioned on the menu). * Half Fried Chicken - 5/10. The chicken was moist. Been here once before and it was quite dry, so I'm glad this was cooked well. You get 2 thighs, a wing, and a drumstick (4pc). Again, there was a lack of any seasoning on the chicken itself & the exterior. Sadly, the sauce that we picked was not the best either - oyster mayo. It would've been nice to try the others, but the half order came with one sauce. The seasonal jam that was available was the peach jam. It went well with the biscuits (half order comes with 2 biscuits, any extra is $1.50). For my people who get cold in restaurants, I would recommend bringing a light jacket since they turn the A/C up.

Every time my parents come to visit they request to come here! I shop often at the bodega next door (see my review for Granel) and I was starving one day after grabbing all of my spices. I checked this place on Yelp and noticed it's been around for over 40 years. That was good enough for me! Imagine freshly fried fish (corn or flour available!) like you're at the family cookout served with a side of fried rice from your favorite Chinese restaurant! All for less than $15! I order the same combo every time, the two pieces of bass cornmeal battered, 5 shrimp and the fried rice. I'm not a fan of ceviche but my homegirl and her mom ordered it and said it was amazing! The three of us ate for less than $50! Left full and content. If you find yourself in this area and you like fresh fried fish, this place does not miss!!!

The service was great--the staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything arrived hot and fresh. As for the food, the seafood is tasty and seasoned perfectly; the fried shrimp and fish had a great crunch, and the shrimp fried rice is a must-try. The best part is that everything is reasonably priced for the generous portions you get. It's a reliable, "no-frills" staple in Houston that stays true to its roots. I'll definitely go back!

The food is always great, and it's nice to come back and relive those memories. Definitely a go-to for good, nostalgic eats!

Entiendo la situación económica, pero no entiendo que tanto lo tienes que andar mirando SOLO a el sobre comida que DOS estan comiendo.

I would like if the waitresses wouldn't be so hungry for their tips, I got one who didn't even greet me or ask if everything went well, besides she didn't even offer me to fill my drink but well attended with my boyfriend since he went to the bathroom until the last drop of HIS lemonade. I understand the economic situation, but I don't understand why you have to look at ONLY him when the food is for TWO eating. Please get waitresses with respect for everyone at the table, not for who she thinks is going to pay.

Something simple that should be an easy win. Unfortunately, everything leaned the same direction: either it was heavy, over-sauced, or overly garlicky. It tasted more like dressed-up frozen food than something thoughtfully prepared. And listen...I don't mind indulgent. But there still has to be balance and fresh food. Fresh like it was raw and delivered today, not fresh like fried in the last 15 mins. When everything is coated, covered, and competing, nothing actually stands out. The drinks didn't help either. They leaned hard on alcohol without much flavor behind them--more "this will get you there" than "this tastes good." Nothing was terrible. But nothing made me want another bite, either. And with seafood, that's kind of the whole point. The atmosphere is friendly, great music, and the service was very attentive. Even the presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't enough. But at some point, you stop asking what's missing and just accept that it's not landing. I was still hungry so I went next door hoping for a better experience. I want to be clear: It's not bad. It's just not working.
