Down N Dirty Seafood Boil

I Loveee the down and dirty!! It's one of my favorite places to eat in Albuquerque. I love their house special sauce hot! It's perfect ! The times I have been, it's pretty cold in there , maybe be a jacket.

Thought it was interesting that they give paper plates for the dinnerware. Plasticware is also used. I say interesting because the boil is well...juicy. Lots of food. Crawfish tail meat was in abundance. Loved the food. Maybe the sausage can be cut in slices to make it easier to eat since a plastic knife is given. The alligator was yummy and the sauce it's served with is good. Drink sizes are huge. The server made sure were were always filled.

My pictures will come up soon, but my Yelp friend Shelly A. and I had a great lunch at Down N Dirty! I had never been there before. When we got there, there was a big party going on. However, the tables for the party were on the other side of the "L"-shaped eating area, and I hardly could hear them. Maybe they were too busy eating the delicious food?! I shared a bag of food with Shelly which included 2 corn cob-ettes, 2 potatoes, a 1/2 pound shrimp, and 1/2 pound scallops - all in the Down N Dirty mild-plus sauce which had garlic in it! As this was my first boil, we put on our bibs (provided) and dumped out the bag of steamed/cooked seafood and veggies right on the table (covered in plastic). This was a slight error on my part. The juice flows. In the future, I would take out the pieces of food and maybe ask for a bowl to put most of the liquid in so I could dip the seafood in. Live and learn! The juice didn't flow over onto the floor or my lap, but I think asking for a bowl is a good thing next time. Plenty of seafood for the two of us to share! We may have had 4 decent-size scallops and 8 shrimp EACH! The potatoes were a nice size! The sauce was perfect for my taste, but Shelly suggested we try the medium heat next time (which hopefully will be soon). The sauce was wonderful - garlic, heat, and great combo of spices giving its red-orange coloring. I'll be back!

Excellent Seafood - Crab Boil Style. They offer shrimp, king crab, mussels, crawfish and lobster tails plus typical great potato's and corn on the cob. Down N Dirty is located in the far corner of a small mall. The indoor seating is a perfect vibe not fancy. Johnny was our waiter. He was prompt, friendly, professional and gave us A+ service. We will be back.

Down N Dirty is one of my favorite seafood spots in town. It's tucked back away from the street in a strip mall and can easily be missed if you aren't looking for it. I love that they have so many options for seafood by the pound, they are one of the only seafood boil restaurants in town that offers langostino tails (that I know of). I always have an amazing meal here. The only downside to eating here is that they do not offer beer/wine.

The food was absolutely amazing!!!! The service was perfect and it didn't take that long to get your food! The tables are clean and the worker was very nice and provided service when I came right in! I totally recommend going here for the best seafood boil!

this place closes @8pm on Sundays and will not serve you if u show up @7:31pm. ridiculous. The lady stated your a minute after 7:30 we cannot seat you! are u serious for 1 minute, and has the nerve to say we are really slow exactly if your slow take the customers. you lost out on business over literally 1 minute.

The house spice really pops. We loved the Dungeness crabs and the potatoes that are boiled with the seafood. As for sides, The salad was not special but the lobster bisque was creamy and tasty. Needs a beer license.

The food is unbelievably fantastic!!. Wow. Fresh, tender and lots of flavor. My son is a picky eater and I he loved it.

Thank you but not again. People hype up w this joint, so we decided to try. Waiter hardly checked on us. Food was okay. Oh, 9/10 for rice tho. No colossal king crab until further notice. No refill offer. We kinda felt like we were burden. Anyway, if you decide to go I hope you have a better experience than we did. Overall experience: fail. Next!
