I recently visited El Crazy Shrimp with my boyfriend, excited to indulge in their renowned ceviche tostadas. We decided to order both the fish ceviche and the shrimp ceviche tostada, eagerly anticipating the fresh flavors and vibrant presentation that the restaurant is known for.
Upon arrival, the atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the staff was friendly, which only heightened our excitement. However, our experience took a disappointing turn when the shrimp ceviche tostada was served.
To my dismay, the shrimp were not properly cleaned. Instead of enjoying a delightful bite of fresh shrimp, I found myself having to cut each shrimp open to remove the inedible parts.

Even the onion and cilantro was skimped on. Come on guys. And you have the nerve to call these ‘the best cocktail’??? VERY disappointed and ripped off. First time will be...
Read moreLittle hole in the wall spot with good ceviche. I have only tried the ceviche and the Mexican shrimp cocktail so far so I’m not sure how good the rest of the food is but those two items are delicious. The food tastes fresh, not old and fishy like other seafood spots. I only gave it four stars because the tostadas they serve the ceviche with start to get soggy right away. They could probably replace them with a sturdier and less bland tostada in my opinion. Other than that, the...
