    The food was good , we went here to celebrate a birthday a party of 9 which we already knew we were getting an automatic gratuity fee. There tends to be one at most restaurants for large parties. But here I noticed the automatic fee was for groups 6 and more. Which I grew up in a family of 6 and don't ever remember getting charged this fee , and a most restaurants this fee starts with party's of 8. The service was very slow , we had to wave down the server for refills and other things. Which again I feel like they probably didn't try since they were still going to get tipped no matter the service they provide. The shrimp were overcooked causing the skin to becoming very difficult to peel, the sauce flavor was great.

    Big Fish Market - Here is a pound of fried catfish and a pound of filet of sole, that we will complete with our homemade sides.

    So we went back to Big Fish Market again…read more We got our usual catfish and filet of sole order. We like to do takeout and put our own homemade sides. Our phone order was ready when promised and I was out shortly after entering. When you order the sole you can choose from medium or crisp for finish. We got medium. And most pieces are big. Everything is tasty. They have a few tables and a TV, if you want to dine in. It's not crowded and the noise level isn't a problem. We have been coming for years and plan to continue to come by every few weeks.

    Big Fish Market was not as fresh or lively as I hoped…read more I was the only customer during lunch and even then, the employees seemed surprised to see anyone walk in. I placed my order and was given an estimate of fifteen minutes. If possible, it would be better to call ahead. The seafood came out fresh and steaming, while my mac salad had clearly been portioned in advance. *Fried Oysters: these were on the smaller side and had a rather neutral taste. The breading was light and seemed to lean toward a cornmeal mixture. There was not much flavor overall, so the oysters depended heavily on the sauce. The spicy tartar sauce had a nice zing, though I wished lemons had been included. *Mac Salad: not my favorite version. The macaroni was quite bland and noticeably firm. It lacked the creaminess I expected and the seasoning relied almost entirely on the relish, which made the dish very sweet and sour. I was not able to finish the container. The seafood was acceptable but nothing about the freshness or flavor truly stood out. I would eat it if it were placed in front of me--just not the mac salad.

    I was craving a shrimp cocktail and came across El Crazy Shrimp! Noticed they had amazing reviews…read morefor the cocktails so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the shrimp for myself, and the shrimp/octopus for my mom. Both large and the portions were great for the price! Once I got home, my mom immediately tried it and said it was delicious! I then went to try mine and she was so right! The mix was so tasty and had a good spicy kick to it. I usually add some tapatio but there was no need for it, it was the perfect mixture. I just added some lime :) Definitely will be coming back, I'm sad that I live in Anaheim now so I won't get to enjoy it as often as I would like! 10/10 service and food, thank you!

    Mariscos done the right way!!…read more Crazy Shrimp lives up to its name in the best possible way. The tacos gobernador were succulent, perfectly seasoned, and packed with fresh, vibrant flavor with the right amount of cheese. The seafood Caldo was outstanding --a rich, balanced broth loaded with a generous mix of fish, octopus, shrimp, and calamari that tasted like the ocean in all the right ways. You can tell this is a family-owned business that actually cares about what they serve. The service was warm, friendly, and genuinely inviting , the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a guest, not just another order. If you're looking for top-tier seafood that's flavorful, satisfying, and made with heart, this is the spot. I was completely blown away, and I'll be back without hesitation. Highly recommended!!!!

    Wow! What a surprise! A cute little hidden gem that is different! It's NOT typical Mexican food by…read moreany standard. La Cruda is all about the shrimp, octopus, oysters, scallops, tuna and crab! I love that they don't service you a common basket of chips with salsa, no they bring you whole fried tostada tortillas and crackers of course you get salsa too. I had the small "chico" shrimp cocktail and I got to add my ketchup to my taste. They gave you a choice of sauces on the table. My shrimp cocktail was by no means Chico, it was generously packed with shrimp and the veggies that are typical to a Mexican cocktail. I saw some other items I can't wait to try. The prices are compassionately priced but the serving are generous considering I have paid more and received less in other places. The servers are very attentive and sweet. La Cruda reminds me of the little places on the beaches in Puerto Rico. Instead they are on the shore of the 91fwy in Riverside. Check them out for a simple tasty seafood cocktail. I have been driving past and overlooking for much too long. A new personal fav for me! BTW, I took the picture after I ate more than half that meal.

    I ordered two tacos -- steak and lengua -- and both were really good. The meat was juicy,…read moreflavorful, and they were very generous with the portions. There was so much meat packed into each taco that two were more than enough for a filling lunch. For under $10, especially since they also included chips and salsa, I thought it was a really good value. The steak was tender and juicy, but I actually liked the lengua even more. It had a really rich beef flavor and wasn't dry at all. My only complaint was that the lengua still had some of the outer skin attached. The texture honestly gave me a little bit of goosebumps while eating it . I really wish they had removed it completely. Other than that, the lengua itself was delicious. Great flavor, generous portions, and a very satisfying lunch for the price.
