You had me at complimentary fish tostada w/ HOT HOT salsa & squeeze of COOL lime . Langostinos Estilo Nayarit & Crab (fed 3!)! DIP EVERYTHING YOU CAN IN THAT DELICIOUS SAUCE!!!

Serious Eats

You’re probably already familiar with El Veneno’s practically perfect marlin ceviche , but the shrimp ceviche is even better.

Sean Maccarone-Reed

Really good menu and options. Prices for some things are a bit steep. BYOB makes up for it :-)

Andrea Ojeda

Order to share. This is a lot of food! And you can't go wrong with anything. The octopus was just delicious!

Diego Reynoso

Special spicy octopus and Nayarit langoustines are to die for

Mary Kay Hardcastle

BYOB . I recommend some bubbly to drink with the langostinos . Don't forget the garlic bread to dip into the sauce.

John Cowherd

Shrimp cocktail and agua chile is the way to if you don't like crab .

Daniel Medina

Bring cold beer ... it's a BYOD place

Elizabeth Gàmez

Terrible service and the cleanliness is questionable. It took over an hour to be seated when we were told 20-25 mins. The floor was covered with crumbs and cracker wrappers. Seafood was mediocre.

Jose barrios

Come here for the awesome seafood - forget the service.

Eric Roberson

You won’t leave here hungry

Arisa Xumsai

Crab is a must to order. Fresh & tasty!

Anne Rearnkham

For self-induced crab fatality, order the Nayarit style crabs . $30 for a platter large enough to feed 2 people!

S MC

Their free tostada appetizer is delish and incredibly filing.

Joshua Martinez

Horrible first experience! We wait 25 minutes to be seated, then 20 mins or so after we are sat, we are told they ran out of crab , then we had to argue to comp our ten dollar bill for the trouble. ????

Samantha A.

Shrimp , octopus ,oysters :hot. It's amazing!!

Angie Munoz

Portions on the langostinos have changed. And by changed, I mean smaller portions and size. Used to be 12ct, now its 8ct. :(
