La Cruda Mariscos

Was craving mariscos & stumbled across this location. We had seen the food truck near Van Buren & it's always packed but we weren't sure if they were the same business. Turns out it is! Inside it's small it's near the 91 fwy! The service is good all the waitresses were really nice. The cocteles were so good! I got Camaron & Pulpo & my partner got Shrimp. We both got large & it was big! We were both impressed & tbh the price for the size & quality was worth it! The caldo was really good too! Definitely have returned since my first visit! Will return to try other items.

Been hearing good things about this place. We got there at 10:00a.m. , right when they opened. We were immediately greeted and ordered our food and drinks. Everything looked good, looked fresh and was good , up until I got to the long hair in my ceviche. The waitress was understanding and asked if we wanted 1/2 an order to go. We said yes. When we got home, it was mainly all veggies and no shrimp. Wasn't happy about that, I should've requested a refund instead.

For years we have frequented the Mexican bakery, Yvettes, next door, but this divey little place completely slipped under our radar. We finally came, thanks to a recommendation from an acquaintance.First of all, the menu is quite limited. You will only find seafood here, shrimp, fish, oysters, scallops, octopus. It specializes in variations of ceviches, cocktails, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and lots of cerveza. It is obviously a hangout for locals who had gathered at the large bar counter this particular day. But they also have seating at tables and booths for the non-barstool types among us. Loud mariachi music blared from the speakers overhead, and a small set of shelves was stocked with nibblers to buy and t-shirts donning their adorable logo, a cartoon of a very soused red shrimp holding a green bottle of cerveza in hand. It's a happy, friendly place.We came because we were craving shrimp cocktails. They offered two sizes, 20 oz and 32 oz.. and Mr B decided to order one of each size. That's a helluva lot of shrimp, but he didn't think so.Out came two cocktail glasses filled to the brim with medium sized shrimp. I loved the big chunks of avocado and all of the chopped celery, tomato, onion, cilantro, all thrown together in lime juice and a touch of catsup. Very juicy! My only complaint was the shrimp were not deveined, and most likely farmed shrimp, but overall, the shrimp cocktails were delicious. It was without a doubt way too much to eat, even the smaller size. So home it came for another two, very filling servings. A price point that is hard to beat and pretty darn great for a low-carb meal or two.

Well, I was disappointed that pictures on yelp looked good and then of course they don't have those items and it wasn't their fault, but maybe they kept up with their yelp page they could ask for those pictures to be taken down I really wanted tacos! lolWe both ordered from what they had and enjoyed what we ate. The food is good. The service was OK and I can't say much about the ambience. There's nothing special on the inside.The part that really stuck with me was somehow two people got the small versions of their dinners IOrdered water and an oyster shooter so that added $10 my husband got a Michelada and somehow we spent like $70 so yeah the food wasn't worth it. Shrimp is $8.99 a pound at the store. Cucumbers are nearly free.And you're not even cooking anything.So basically, if you have the money to spend enjoy eating here, but this wouldn't be a place that we would come to on a weekly basis to enjoy And yet it's not nice enough to be a place that I would think of for a special occasion either so your prices are too high in my opinionWhen I ask for water, I actually don't pay for a bottle. I had a bottle of water in the car. I didn't pay three dollars for it.

Very disappointed. I was in the IE and looking forward to trying this place before heading back to the OC. We waited 10 minutes to be seated (which don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed about this part) on a pretty empty restaurant. It was 11:30am on Sunday 11/23/25. Once seated, we waited for almost 30 minutes and no one came around to even acknowledge the fact we were there. We finally got up and walked out, still not acknowledged. I even felt worse for the people that came in before us, also just waiting there to be served. The 2 girls working there look like chickens with their heads cut off. If you ever want to be and feel ignored, this is the place to go to.

Still consistent, still fresh, and still great quality Decided to dine in recently and the service was great, still pretty bright inside but very clean! If you don't want too spicy there are some good options like Mixta, El Tri, and Callo de Hacha. They provide a great selection of condiments and their salsa is really good. They also have a pretty good tequila and beer selection.

Esta mas omenos nada special comida ordinaria y y aburrida el servicio esta bien y muy limpio que es un plus.. precios altos para mi gusto les falta mas sazon y sus porciones pequeñas !!!

First Impression: Looks clean, Friendly staff, got busy quickLocation: Corner of the plaza. Limited parking available. Food: Mediocre. Lacked in flavor and tasted bland. Expensive. Are my major take aways from our dining experience. Their marketing is on point that's how i found this location, but unfortunately their food isn't.Note: Go during Happy Hour if you want to give them a try.

The food was definitely worth it, very flavorful and fresh. Parking is difficult, the parking spots are only for 20 minutes, there is parking on the side but they are usually busy, we were lucky enough to find a parking spot. This place gives me the Culichi town restaurant vibe but in a smaller version. Our waitress was okay, she was nice enough but I wasn't impressed. One thing I find super strange is the restaurant not offering free water for the customers, the only water they offer is Aguas Frescas. If you want natural water they don't offer that, I am not sure how to take that? They probably do this so the customers feel obligated to purchase a drink. Also, they have a free taco if you check in, well I couldn't redeem my free taco because the waitress said they only have cold food there. I understand she can't do nothing about that, however is not professional. Everyone is different, this is just my experience and opinion.

the aguachile has decent flavor, not spicy enough but way too salty imo also the server we had was not great and not attentive and when she would come, it was like she hated life and we paid cash and they didn't have coins and our change was like almost $1 so instead of just giving us a dollar instead of like 90 cents she just didn't give us anything nor apologized so that was just weird idk
