Langostino's Nayarit — Restaurant in Elk Grove Township

My husband and I had driven past this restaurant before and didn't have the energy to drive all the way into the city to some of our tried and true mariscos places, so we finally decided to give this place a shot.

Drinks: I ordered a paloma, but received what tasted to be a lemonade with tequila. What a let down. My husband ordered a michelada, which was good. Drink prices are not listed on the menu - at the end we found out they were overpriced.

Value: I ordered the grilled calamari & octopus appetizer with a side of rice - my husband ordered aguachiles. Because it's not our first time at the rodeo, we felt this would be more than enough food, especially for the price. Nope.

Service: Our server was friendly, but sadly did not come back to check on us at all after giving us our food - not even to give us the check. When we were ready to go, we went so far as to ask the server for our neighboring table if he could give us our check or call our server. Neither happened. With 4 servers and 6 active tables, I felt it wouldn't have been unreasonable to expect even a quick check-in. Our guy finally came out of nowhere when we gave up and walked over to the register. He eventually apologized for "leaving us on abandonment" (his words) as we headed out the door.

Summary: I will, hands-down, concede that the all of the food was delicious and came out quickly (for which they receive their 3 stars); however for a better bang-for-the-buck and more attentive service - we'll be taking our...

Food was very good, I got the tostada de Cameron y Pescado. Very fresh and came with extra crackers ($8.99), my partner ordered a plate of Camaron empanizada, very large portion but the plate was not worth $25. We also ordered one michelada $8 and one horchata-no free refills $5, both were good and reasonably priced, however the establishment itself isn’t fancy, it’s a small restaurant so I feel the prices shouldn’t be as high but the food was great and service was good as well. Reason for less stars is because they add the gratuity automatically. Understandable if you’re coming with a large group but it was just two of us, on top of that they charge an extra 3% just for using a card. The restaurant isn’t as modern in my opinion to reflect the really high prices. I don’t think I will come back to dine here unless I really want too, there are other places not nearly this pricey, as I said good place if price isn’t an issue but be prepared to spend at least $70 for two people. Waitress was nice and attentive and as I said food was good but was definitely more pricey in comparison to other options especially...

I recently visited this restaurant, hoping to satisfy my craving for camarones, but the experience left much to be desired. We ordered empanadas, two soft drinks, and the Chapuzón del Mar for two people. Given the menu prices, our total should have been $76.47 with tax included. Instead, we were shocked to find the final bill amounted to approximately $93.

The additional charges were simply unacceptable. Not only did they tack on a 3% fee for paying with a card, but they also included a forced gratuity. On top of that, we were expected to leave a tip? This felt like an unreasonable and unfair way to pad the bill.

To make matters worse, the food quality didn't justify the cost. The camarones were incredibly bland, lacking any of the flavor I had been craving. For the price we paid, I expected much better.

Overall, the combination of poor food quality, hidden fees, and excessive charges made this dining experience thoroughly disappointing. I would not recommend this place and certainly won’t be...
